Hello,
With the new titans coming out i decided that my halo scarabs days were numbered, so i took out my trusty modeling knife and this is what i have done so far, please give me your feedback via email seanlinnell1987@hotmail.co.uk
i am swayed towards the name Kraken or Lethiathan but it seems the Tyranids are taking up all our good titan names on their damn hive fleets !!
Let me know what you think

Welcome to Dakka!
It looks pretty neat, actually. I really like the blue and white paint scheme you've got going there. Perhaps maybe you'll take some pictures in better light for us?

Truth is, quality can't really be measured by megapixels. It just helps them to sell that little bit more, because people think they are getting higher quality, but they might not be.
The factors that quality is based on can be found here.

My first thought was that it looked like the big ass halo thing! It is awesome, though does this post belong in the introductions?
Nethertheless well done.
For names i think you were onto something with Kraken; its a sea creature so ties into the tau mechanised theme (barracuda, manta devilfish) and its really really big. Shame about the 'nids!
Perhaps another big fish, something that sounds less rubbish than 'whale shark'! There are some awesome sea monsters here http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/prehistoric_life/dinosaurs/seamonsters/
On the other hand as a walker it seems more akin to a giant battlesuit than a hover tank. Perhaps give it a name like XVX99 Battleplatform. Or Groundshaker Battlelord.
All the Best, and Welcome

another name to throw into the mix "Poseidon" i beleive its unused anyone else know if the nids have allready took that name ? and given that this model has a triple rack of railguns in a "sort of" trident formation id say its ok. And after all he was the GOD of the sea seems fitting

And so, upon the battle scared fields of war a single machine was left standing over the wreakage of titans, tanks, and soldiers, all dead, all killed by one thing, one being of such power and destruction that he is known as the god of the sea, the Tau's most powerful weapon to date.
On this monstrosity of the land, his weaponry include trident pattern ion guns, a seemingly limitless supply of seeker missiles and railguns, more powerful than most weapons on the battle field, even the strongest of the strong have a hard time taking this beast down.
In the wake of this destruction, only one could be seen alive, this one man passed his sights onto the rest of the imperium, so that they might know the might, the power, of the god of the sea, able to call the other sea creatures to his comand, nothing will stay their wraith, for they are Tau, and he is Posidon.
