**SilverMK2**

Looking good

**Invicta**

Thanks Silver MK2. It's been slow going this past week. Worked on my Steel Legion for a few days. Going to need them to hold objectives for my up coming 15k Apocalypse game against the Prophet40k.

Finished cutting out, mounting, and gluing the banners. Still have to finish the legs, base, and backside. Should be done within the next two weeks.

**Oathbreaker**

My compliments! This is an awesome project. I am impressed by the final quality, your endurance and tenacity in finishing it.

**Prophet40k**

Love it! The titan came out great.
My Warsmith is so going to enjoy breaking it and offering its machine spirit to the dark gods in exchange for Daemonhood!

The battle is still over 160 days away but I am pretty excited about it already. It will look awesome striding over the trench terrain I made.

**Invicta**

Thanks Oathbreaker. Prophet 40k, he'll try not to stub his toe on your puny trenches! Finally got my Forgeworld Aquilas in. Worked on the legs tonight.

**Prophet40k**

Eagles looking good!

**Asphalt**

That is certainly an evolution. Keep up the good work.

**gloomygrim**

When i saw what you first had i was like ouch he must be gutted. Now im amazed at how great you have got it looking.

**Invicta**

Thanks to all. I'm done with this project for now. I might add some void shield generators on the side carapace sometime in the future.

**Prophet40k**

Looking Sharp brotha, can't wait to see him across the table from me.

**Invicta**

Thanks man. Gonna work on some "smaller" projects for a while!

**BrotherStgAdam**

wow what a difference , nice job man

**Invicta**

Here is my next "big" project. An Armorcast Reaver Titan. He came with enough weapons for two Reavers and an extra groin piece. Don't know yet if I'm going to sratch build the remaining pieces or ask a good buddy of mine to recast the needed pieces. I'm sure my Khornate buddy would punch me in the face, if I made the request before our 15k battle so I'm not even going to bother until afterwards. The previous owner started shaving off the Axes. All the resin is in rough shape. He's even missing a toe!

**medabee**

You should cast and run the Reaver Brothers.

**da big mek skarfang**

AMAZING! its incredible how people buy terrible things off ebay and turn them into one man company.i agree with commander cain, that servitor who had to put up those purity seals would have to let up a prayer to the emperor to make sure he doesnt die again.well done!

**Invicta**

Yeah, the Reaver Brothers would definitely clean shop. Re-casting would save me a gak-ton of time.

**Invicta**

Well, decided it was time to work on my Reaver Titan again. My 30,000pt battle is coming sooner than later. I'm pretty much done with the head. Might work on the eyes a little more. I had to sand most of the parts because the previous owner cut off most of the axes which is fine by me.

**lipsdapips**

Swweeeet!!
All I could suggest is a little more detailing on the legs (on the modelling side, stick some more things on, the paintjob's fantastic! But right now it looks a little flat :\)

Keep it up,
LDP

**Invicta**

I got the base coat finished on my Reaver Titan today. Now I'm going to start on the detail work. I'm waiting on some Adeptus Mechanicus symbols to come in and I'm going to change his groin plate.

**kenshin620**

Awesome titans you have!

**Invicta**

Thanks kenshin620. I've only used my Warhound on the Battlefield and he really kicked major butt. Hopefully the others do the same.

**Darkvoidof40k**

What you did with the first Titan was truly amazing. Great job!

And Prophet, nice Warsmith, what does the Hammer count as?

**shingouki**

Dude you've got crazy skills,the home made titan looks class whilst the forgeworld jobby is just as cool.

**steeds of war**

Looks awesome, if I saw any of those on the table I would wince.

**Invicta**

Again thanks to all! Shingouki, the Reaver is actually an Armorcast Model from 1988. I just put some forgeworld Aquilas on it.

**Million**

Interesting log, and well done - nice end product. What I do wonder is, given you clearly model well, why not save your money from ebay and spend it on making the frame yourself?

**Paranoia_Agent**

Looking awsome your revival of the warlord titan was epic!!!

The reaver is of to a great start cant wait to see the finished project!

Keep up the good work.

**Aquaterry**

Those look awesome. I have two suggestions. First is to char the ground around the crushed land raider. If it had exploded, the ground around it would be burned and smoking and stuff. If you do a coat of chaos black and then a light grey drybrush, it'll look more realistic.
Second: MOAR!!!!!11!!1!!!
Keep it up mate!

**meatman33**

Really sick titans, man. Can't wait to see more. If you have any spare time (I doubt it) you could add some battle damage. I used this on my Monolith, here's the link:

Well, I didn't think I was going to have to do a complete overhaul as I had done. The titan did look like crap in the pictures however I thought a little painting and a little modifying would change that. I guess the next point is that I probably would not have even taken on such a big project without buying the original Titan. In the future you are right, I would make the frame myself.

Thanks for the suggestion Aquaterry. Yeah, I definitely plan on adding more detail to the base. I just had to move on to other projects since my 15k battle is scheduled for Labor Day and I have a few more squads and vehicles to finish.

Meatman, that was a good vid, I will definitely add battle damage in the future.
