I'm very flattered, I do my best and comments like these makes all the hard work worth it!
So for that, here's a couple of pics of the army, at least the part of it that is basecoated, I have about double as much stuff still as WIP for it More can be found at my warseer plog http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=198681 36 pages of goodies for ya

Luckily, they haven't found me yet

Warlord progress:

I like that wee mecha- its very fast looking.

I love your stuff , , think it would go very well with my ( in production manufactorum ) ;-) seriously though , looking at lots of mechanicus stuff receantly and this is right up there with the best imo would love to incorporate some of this stuff in my upcomming comic, especially that medium sized painted titan thing, with the guy sitting in the head. what is that btw and where can i find info on it ? is it in the 40k rule book? only have black reach and mcragge and 2nd edition rules.

The mid-sized titan is a Reaver. The rules for that are in the Imperial Armour Apocalypse II, I believe.

The Warlord is looking nice, man. I look forward to seeing it finished!

I want that knight titan and the little baby one!

Thank you, I guess the middle sized one with the driver in the head is the knight ?? the one that opens up right ?? The yellow headed one is the reaver. The knights are a bit hard to find proper fluff on since they are not officially a part of the fluff, at least not in the game system as they appear in mechanicum (horus heresy series, by Graham McNeill) but well google is a good start for info or the old epic rulebook The comic project and manufactorum both sounds like awesome projects, and I'd like very much to see them

Hehe you can't, they're MINE ! Muhahahahahahaha

The detail you have put into this is truly amazing for the enormity of the beast! I mean the control pit (cock pit) is insane!

I got a little time on my hands tonight and thought I'd go head on with the apoc launcher for the reaver, and here is the basic structure. It's tagged on atm as I didn't have time to build the mounting yet. Hope you like it

So more updates, detailing has begun.









For scale:

Looking great!

Where did you get the etch from?

Great job! That is one impressive scratch build! If you don't mind me asking what are the minis in "cryo" status? I would love to see some detail pictures.

Keep up the great work,
Mike

Thanks guys

The photo etch I had custom made by a guy in France, The ignatum logo is my own re-design of the original which I found to be a bit bad, and needed an update.

The "Cryo stasis" guy is a princeps in his amniotic tank, I'll see if I can get some better pics

HOLY FETH!

That Reaver is awsome bud. Cant wait to see it with some paint. Very nice work.

How much did the custom etch cost? And does the dude have a website? I imagine other dakkaites would be interested in knowing that.

This is AWESOME!

Great builds man,but could we get a reaver,warlord,knight side by side for size comparison?

Thanks guys

Can't remember the exact costs of the etch, but wasn't much actually.

I'll see if I can get a shot with the Warlord, reaver and a warhound next to the knight

Just came across this blog for the first time

2 words

BLOWN AWAY!!!!

Are you sure you have enough titans there? I'm not sure you have enough.

Jks, i love your work and envy your skill.

-Alexgm101

No actually I've already started planing a chaos titan in my head, for when I finish these two

And thanks for the nice comments

Glorious. Out of curiosity, where did all those fan bits for the cooling system come from?

It's not the cost I'm really worried about (even with the falling dollar) does he have contact information?

The cooling system fans in the main engine are from the CoD Manufactorum, the ones in the two cooling compartments are fans from the drop pod kit

Foda_Bett:
I've mailed my photo etch supplier and asked if he'd be interested in more work So if he is you'll get some contact info



Automatically Appended Next Post:
Okay so I got an answer from my photo etch guy, and he prefers not to have his contact info displayed so PM me if you want to get in contact with him and get some etches done and I'll send you his Email

Okay so it's finally update time.
A lot of things have happened on the reaver, it is all done except for the torso, crew and banner and painting has begun. I've been lucky enough to borrow an airbrush so the painting will hopefully be less painful as airbrushing really is quicker for such a large model. Well enough of that, here's some PIP pics and the unpainted pics of the painted parts will be uploaded in a few days.

the head carapace, it has had the yellow completely done, and I'm quite pleased with it.




And the entire engine first without armour plates and then with. The torso still needs details before being basecoated and painted and hopefully I'll get it done in a few days time.

Your skill at kitbashing is truly mind-numbing.

Your Knight is is the best work I've seen so far. Please grace my thread with your insights and keep the Households alive!

Great work with the Reaver, Nice to see you creating behemoths again.

Knight Titan is fantastic

Thanks for the nice comments guys

More painting has been done.

The head got itself a gold trim, which is painted with airbrush except for the final highlight which is drybrushed on.

with the masking tape still on:



Without the masking tape:






A size comparison with a FW warhound:



And the engine basecoated red:



And after the two highligt stages:


Feel free to comment, there's still a long way till it's done.

The head looks great! nice details as usual.
