Sorry mate... I think I'm delusional. Either that or one too many windows open in the browser at the same time.

No worries mate - perhaps too much Dakka is overloading the brain!

And Lo - Monkeyh beheld all of Fluffies parts spread out before him and thought "Gadzooks! It'll take me fersluggin' ages to build and paint that!" Oh yeah, and, finished building the rhinos - not very interesting I know but that's what I've been doing for the last week.

OK, now I'm salivating.

Not made much progress on Fluffy - currently painting his innards. I'll post some pics once I've got something worth showing.

Battled at the weekend, sorry the pics aren't very good, but we had a good time. 2500pts of Space wolves and Crimson Fists vs CSM's and Daemons. They played it fairly cautious, I took my usual gung ho approach. I pushed up on the left flank but their jump infantry kept popping in and out and made short work of a squad of 5 chosen all armed with meltas. Sadly my Samurai Berkers were shot to pieces attempting to assault an objective deep in enemy territory, as their vindicators had cripppled the samurai's ride, they had to slog it on foot right into the jaws of the beast! I had a small squad holding onto an objective deep in my own half, which left the one in the middle of the table and the one on the left. Their dreadnought tied up my troops on the right, and a marauding landspeeder was knocking out stuff (inc my Landraider and deep striking soul grinder) in the middle. Deep striking all my bloodletters on the left flank resulted in contesting that objective . The real turning point arrived in the form of Uraka the warfiend. With the aid of my Daemon prince they made short work of a few terminators in the middle, Uraka then took out their Landraider and in the last turn the landspeeder. So we ended after turn 5 with one objective on the left being contested, them having one and me having two as I'd moved Berzerkers into the middle - victory was mine! - this time.

Hopefully having an apocalyptic battle next time, one of my mates has nearly finished building his gargant so I'm trying to get Fluffy ready too!

Oh my gosh it's GREEN out there... I do miss that color about this time of year.

Ok, time for an update. All the internal bits which need painting are prepped and painting has commenced! Once I've done all the internals I can start putting Fluffy together. I've also ordered some 10mm and 20mm magnets as I intend to magnetize the weapons, the head and the torso at the waist.

That's.... tremendous... ly disgusting monkeyh. Wow.

I think the skeleton drivers need a bit of devlan mud on their skulls... awesome job on everything else though
couldn't have done it better

Those poor drivers... lovely!
Great job, now Fluffy has to get done eehehhe

All I can think of is the dr who episode with the clockwork men "we did not have the parts"

Creepy! I love it.

Thanks everyone. I've been thinking about what colour to paint Fluffy, Mrs monkeyh suggested afterburner fade (yellow through orange), I've seen a warhound done like this on Google images and it looks pretty good, but I was thinking something a bit more old and rusty looking. Any suggestions? The colour needs to fit in with both my Khorne and Nurgle armies but I don't want to specifically tie him to either one.

I would think an orange-brown rusted metallic would straddle the line between the Khorne's dark reds and the rotten browns and greens that typify Nurgle. This would be a good basis for making things look ancient, corrupted, and generally "Chaos-y."

Amazing work on the crew, btw. If that's the inside, can't wait to see what you do on the outside.

A blue - red colour??

Hmmm, not too keen on blue,but maybe some kind of rusted orange/brown type colour would work - I'll have to visit my local model shop and see what they've got. I can see I'll be doing a bit of experimenting first on this one.

I suggest a khornate red with a lot of oily and rusty places, It could be originally from Khorne with the influence of Nurgle.

I think Mrs. Monkeyh has the right of it.

How about Sunset?

I think you're talking about what I call afterburner fade - it's the colour of my mountain bike - looks like this (sadly mine doesn't have disc brakes - but I digress)

rusted through then, with fleshy bits and looking like its weeping blood/oil. If you can make the red on it look like fleshy bits, or the blood of a thousand unfortunate martyred enemies, (legitimately, preferably without stringing 70 corpses off of its hull), you may have what you are looking for.

adendum:
extensive refurbishing (re-welded plates, re-attached plates, freshly-bolted on armor to the point where it looks orky, but cleanly done to make it look like a considered job... It makes sense for a khornate perspective, to thrust it back into battle repeatedly as fast as you can, and from a nurgle perspective it looks like minmum effort maintenance.... trouble is it can look orky, and i'd be terrified of attacking something so expensive...

Ooooo! Stringing dead corpses to the hull, now theres and idea!

Like in serenity, with serenities reaver disguise.....

What if the titan still bears markongs of the Astronomican Legion? (Blue/Gold)
But is rusted and some plates, perhaps mostly on the legs are covered with blood.

Doh!

Keep the ideas coming - hoping to finish all the internals tonight/tomorrow and start building this weekend.

nailed Zombies to the titan

What if you actually place dead space marines that are molten into the armour? (like han solo in carbonite )
It would really give it a creepy look.

not unless they are nurgle corpses, in which case, they are very much alive and... umm... coughing....

Miss Dee wrote:nailed Zombies to the titan

There will be some zombies somewhere - I may hang a few from chains from the weapons as a kind of alternative kill banner.

I really like this idea, and will try and incorporate it - somewhere.
