Ha - I was only kidding really!

You've still got my interest - I love me some Knight Titans! (Heh heh!)

Hah well i will be sure to add you to the top of the reserve list when i post it up

I would definitely buy one of these. I'm currently building a Knight Household and am always looking for additional knight kits to buy. As for weapon options, I like the Plasma Blast Gun and the Chainsword is classic. I'd like to see an Inferno Cannon, Thermo Cannon/Volcano Cannon, and some form of Vulcan Mega Bolter. As for CCWs, a Lightning Claw (with the fingers as blades like the Chaos Terminator Lord), a Power Mace, and a Power Lance would be awesome. Good luck, and if/when you start taking orders please PM me. Cheers.

Update on the build - torso shots on pelvis down resin casts
Update on new arm joint and new weapon housing
Update - Second head in preliminary stage

Torso


Arm and weapon fitting + comparison with chain blade & Melta/nova type cannon



Note the two weapons shown are in very early stages of development and will have a more robust detailed feel to match the entirety of the unit

Head 2



and then just the whole shabang so far



I am going to mould and cast the current shoulder then use the outcome to create a secondary shoulder with additions, perhaps a more gladiatorial style rim?
Also going to sculpt Minor detailing, such as rosettes, pennants hanging against its torso, ornamental ribbon plaque on the right shoulder (although i am unsure if this is wise prior to client purchase?)

working on a generic center weapon housing today, will mould and cast 6 of them and use the point of arm joint as a basis to build up each unique weapon system, Next set will be the gatling lance (lance mount with in built gatling cannon some what similar to a final fantasy 8 gunblade!) and opposite arm mounted shield! fun fun!

And in-case your wondering what my musical inspiration is, currently "Chase & Status - Let you go" & "Ryuichi Sakamoto - Merry Christmas Mr.Lawrence"


Enjoy

This is coming along very nicely. I like the shouder shield... very Black Reach Termie. Good tie-in.


Ah, Sakamoto. I try to collect everything he has ever been involved in, including other artists he helped produce or colaborated with. Merry Christmas is a solid album. Solid State Survivor by YMO was my first introduction of his works. Tokyo Joe is my favorite album of his.

Hah will definitely look into that album! as for the shield, I felt as with the over all feel, It was important to tie it in with other existing more modern figures so that there is a feeling of unison rather than something dug up hundreds of years ago and given a buff.

Right now i decidedly noted that the current arm fitting for ranged weapons, will just not work for melee weapons so i am working on an entirely different arm for the melee weapons which will be left mounted without choice for right, because well, im not in a factory! HOWEVER the arm itself will come in 3 parts without the weapon itself ,which will allow complete posing , the fist will be completely moveable for posing, clenched or grappling something on a diorama! keep tuned in for progress, this week is weapon systems!



Regards


Khar

Really really nice build!!!!!

So tonight i decided that the arm fitting that connects to the ranged weapon fitting, just doesn't work in technical application of a melee weapon, so without further a do, here's the new Melee arm.

The weapons look great so far. I'd recommend adding some sort of fuel/ ammo tank to the melta/ nova cannon. The chainsword looks well proportioned and the teeth on the blade look capable without being over exaggerated. I look forward to seeing the new melee arm connected with a weapon to the knight.

The melta/nova is only a barrel so far which will connect to the generic weapon mounting, i am casting 6 of the mountings so i can build up the various fuel/ammo intake and barrels around that

Hey Khargrim! Just wondering if there's been any more progress on the knight titan project? Can't wait to see more pics! Cheers,

Hey Iron, Actually yes there has been, the Fist is complete save the normal finger tips (have talloned ones currently) also the second head is complete, along with some example shoulders, although they will be supplied "clean" as i want to allow people to customize the kit as they see fit so it will be devoid of purity seals, scrolls,skulls, etc HOWEVER I am working on an upgrade bag with assortment of bits, Pics to come soon!

On another note I will be launching a competition soon over Dakka dakka, 40konline BOLS, Golden throne and Warseer, 150 entrants max, the idea will be to physically make and design a shoulderpad, which will be judged on asthetic design rather than actual skill of painting or sculpting, so it allows those who aren't as skilled to have a chance to win, the winning design will receive a full kit, with custom sculpt of their design & legion free.

More news to come on that.

Other than the shoulders & Melee arm & fist/saber I have been rather busy with a number of commissions, which is making me think i may need to track down a partner to become part of the business as between commissions & the titan & starcraft terran marine kit for space marines, i have no time to code my website!!!
