Beautiful work there mate - and quite an accomplishment to complete such a literally huge project.

**Dysartes**

Nicely done, Knightley - when are you starting on a Reaver?

**JustaerinAtTheWall**

Nope! The amount of detail on this behemoth is just right.

ALL the squiggles!

**d00mspire**

This is a titanic and legendary piece of work. Perhaps it should become a knight, Sir Squiggles!

**ZergSmasher**

You really outdid yourself on this one, Knightley! It looks fantastic!

**Knightley**

@Graven - Is it a shrine to the squiggle god?

@Azazelx - Yeah, he's sitting on top of the shelf staring out over the room, he does cut an imposing figure when viewed from below.

@Dysartes - Ha! at least 3-4 years away, I have to work through all the models I have brought already!

@Justaerin - Thank you!

@d00m - I like the sound of that, Sir Squiggles the bold

@Zerg - Cheers!

Update: Phew, well that was one heck of a mission, time to go a little bit smaller and work on some troops for a change of pace. Almost feel like I've spent to long on one model and suffering burn out :( So right now, working on 15 interceptor packs for some metal interceptors.

**whalemusic360**

Welcome to Club Titan. Would you ever do a large scale model like that again, or going to keep it smaller from now on?

**Solar_lion**

Welcome indeed. nice center piece for the army. Now go kill something with it.

**Knightley**

@Whale - Thanks, invites to the club are rather select eh? must own a titan or no entry? I have one more Knight Titan Castigator to paint, its assembled, but I need to do work on the base, after that I have no more plans for huge models again!

@Solar - Will do! I have an apoc game planned in the next 3 months.

Update: more base colours added, I may have bitten off more than I can chew with 15 packs....

**Gitsplitta**

Glorious! Simply glorious! Congratulations Knightley... it's magnificent.

You know it. We don't let people in with just Knights. Warhound, Reaver or Warlord. Sometimes those dirty Xenos titans can play too.

**Knightley**

@Gits - Thank you!

@Whale - I like the feeling of being in a very niche club

Update: Parchments and silver finished off.

**WarbossDakka**

Ahh! Damn! Missed the end of the Titan! Sorry about that, he looks bloody brilliant.

The little guys should be a nice change of pace. Love the Interceptor backpacks, probably some of my favourite SM ones.

**Knightley**

@WarbossDakka - Gah, where did you go! I feel it was a grand unveiling

Update: A bit of blue and brass added

**WarbossDakka**

I was just busy unfortunately. Not enough time to do the daily P&M update. Hopefully I shouldn't have anything so bad in the future.

Love the little jems in the backpack though, some good effects could come out of those!

**Knightley**

@WarbossDakka - Ah I know how that feels, some days I get little time for anything.

Update: Added more blue

**JustaerinAtTheWall**

Those are some electric backbacks! Blue's lookin' real good knightley, ready for the men themselves!

**WarbossDakka**

Love the way you do orbs and electricity. Great effect!

**Mad..**

Goes from a massive titan to little backpacks with the same high quality of work.

I've seen the titan in person now, and it is AWESOME! Very nice work and could spend a lot of time looking at it. Definitely a good "distraction" unit on the table haha. The base by itself is full of details let alone the model itself.

Going to have to something impressive to top the titan in 2017

**evildrcheese**

Any lessons learnt you'd like to share with us from us experience building/painting the warhound?

Nice work on the interceptor packs too, are the bodies already painted somewhere?

EDC

**Knightley**

@Justaerin - Oh yes, 15 old school metal GK's to go with these packs, going to be interesting for sure!

@WarbossDakka - Thank you

@Mad - I know right, I needed to have downgraded to a Knight, then a NDK, then a dreadnaught, then a marine, then backpacks, I'm doing it all wrong haha.

@EDC - The build process was tough, the plans provided by FW weren't that handy, it showed the completed titan, and in some instances I had no idea how they got bits to where they were, so my first bit of advice is look at youtube, forums, blogs about people building a titan, learn from their mistakes! Regarding bodies, yes there is, but they aren't painted just yet, that will be up next

Update: 15 interceptor packs take a while eh

**d00mspire**

Your army as a whole must look absolutely epic!

**Knightley**

@d00m - I'd like to think so

Update: Finally done all the packs!

**WarbossDakka**

Impressive! I don't think anyone can blame you for going slow after such a massive project (I can't get through an Imperial Knight myself

)

**Mad..**

Lovely work on the packs, where is the rest of the models now though

**evildrcheese**

Nice work getting the backpacks in the can.

EDC

**Knightley**

@WarbossDakka - Just breaking it down section by section

@Mad - heh, see below!

@EDC - Thanks

Update: Speaking of the bodies, here are some of them!

**WarbossDakka**

Hey, they certainly snuck up- are these up to the wash stage now?

**inmygravenimage**

Makes me giddy to see some classic knight action once more.

**JustaerinAtTheWall**

You said these were metal ones? i'm pretty impressed then, they're real nice models for their age.
