Looks great man, and I sorta dig the Irish feel, I wouldn't ever do it as I like to keep my guys "realistic" (you know, for toy sci-fi soldiers and all) but you pulled it off well, I like the knotwork idea as well, maybe decal it though if you can do it right, may go crosseyed painting knotwork

Great progress since my last visit. I think I like the skellie, but I LOVE the way it'll split peoples opinions. And one things for sure, you've made it your own and people will definitly remember it!

Also great use (or abuse ) of the Apoc rules! Looks like an awesome game was had!

Keep it coming!

minor update: started working on some celtic knots to replace mr bonejangles. Tried to make it look a little cross-like so when i weather it it will look gothic-like. thoughts?

Wooh! looking good

Very nice freehand!

Loving the titan in general

That knotwork is awesome and should work just fine with a bit of weathering.

Well, three other people already said it, but:

Man, that looks good!

VERY cool!

I am facing a key dilemma today: to light or not to light? I can run wires under the crew in the head to the "eyes", through the torso and legs to the base. the only problem is... how do i take it apart after?

Like the knotwork, also like the idea of the lights, but got no idea how to get round the problem

Why of course"to light"

You could use spade connectors (the male/female type). Cheap, plenty reliable for what you're trying to do, and easy to connect and disconnect. Should work fine for the connections in between pieces of your titan. Let me know if you need a picture or something...

Good luck!

Only a small update today. Bonus kudos to anyone who can guess what I am going to do with the rods in the last picture...

Hmm, chinese food?

Shamroks? pah! Reaver titans dont need luck to survive. not when they have the blessing of the omnissiah!

I guess painting a horseshoe on his rear pelvic plate is heresy then? was going to do "you'll never get my lucky charms" in latin on his rear somewhere

Who gives away a Reaver Titan?

looking GOOD!!

on the Forge world website, on the reaver and Warhound Titans it says that arms are not included... not even a standard pair? do you have to buy the arms separate?

Damn nice titan blog! Pretty novel paint idea. I like it in the sense that it's cool but I am glad that it isn't my model. Still a brilliant job!

am I the only one that likes the "luck of the Irish" theme?

I guess the previous owner had a choice: reaver titan or a baby? they both took up the same amount of space

I have no idea: I feel like there are one or two variations you can buy for a single cost, but as I got mine second hand, I have no idea

What! they gave it to you???????????????
I like the way its looking!

Yes, you do. Since there are only 2 and 3 weapon slots and more than 4 weapon options. It keeps a Reaver from being $1100+ if you just want 3 particular weapons.

Not sure where you got the idea that it was just given to him either.

I'm so glad I live in the UK - I thought £560+ sounded alot for a reaver but $1100 sounds so much worse! (not that I can afford either!) As for the sticks - punji stick traps for tresspassers?

I am officially in love with Forge World!!!! I sent them an email today requesting their new catalog (looking into eldar titans for the girlfriend, and possibly some armor for my next project), and mentioned that I was missing a thumb for my reaver. I did stress that I got the model second hand, and that I was willing to pay to get the piece, but they're shipping it to me for free!! I am so impressed, I have sworn off buying new Games Workshop models for the foreseeable future, and intend on saving those funds towards a substantial forge world order!
PS: working 60 hour weeks is not very conducive to painting a titan. Hopefully I will work on it some more over the weekend, and have a shiny new update or two for you in the coming week.

Me too! That's pretty sweet, mate! I'll have to keep that in mind if I find some FW stuff on eBay with missing parts How's the painting coming along?

They sent me a piece of clear film for the cockpit and turret of my Marauder Destroyer, they are great at Customer Service. Of course I had to pay $40 to arm the damn thing with 8 Hellstrike Missles.

So what are the sticks for?

Well, a small, but difficult update. With all the wiring in the cockpit, there is precious little space for the crew!

Wow, love the titan, the green/brass is such a nice combo

Love the irish theme too.

Well, I guess I can give you another hint...
