Hey guys!

I got a commission request from a client to build/paint his Chaos Reaver Titan for an upcoming event in November. A few weeks to at least get it up and playable, hopefully finished (holding breath!).

I want to go "all-out" on this one since it is the biggest model and largest commission I have had to-date (money and size-wise).

Plans:

Fully articulated power claw
Magnetized weapon
Tzeentch themed paintjob with custom graphics everywhere (blue w/brass trim and flames everywhere)
Custom bits of warpflame emanating from the model
Magnetized shield counters on the back


Not sure how much will get done by the November deadline but I'm going to hit this one hard. There will be a TON of magnets allowing lots of moving parts and modular breakdown of this gargantuan model.

Wish me luck!

Anyway, on to the PICS!

I started with the interior parts to get them out of the way before tacking the exterior. Most of these parts require glueing in before final assembly as well.

There are three crewmen in the head, two servitors in the main body and one lazy one hanging from the ceiling! I wanted the interior parts to be fairly dark and drab since the exterior will be pretty colorful and have lots of contrast. The only points of color are the cracked view screens and the redline areas of the gauges (LOTS of gauges!!!).

Cockpit:





First tip: Insert the Princeps in place before glueing on the main display panel. That was fun prying off...
