Should paint the most frightening of all natures beasts. A Tasmanian Devil on the tilting plate.

Loving seeing this warlord come together. Excellent work and plogging so far!

Completely new way to paint white, mostly custom mixes of white and some P3 colors. The Privateer colors really do airbrush wonderfully. Never have had a problem thinning them and getting smooth blends.

Funnily enough I use P3 for my airbrush as well, though originally that was for economy, as I do a lot of prop painting with it. Which is almost as paint intensive as painting a fakking titan

White looks tasty!

PAINT! Awesome job with the build. Excited to SEE it with my eyeballs.

Waughghghghgghhhhhh!!!
THERE IS SO MUCH DAMN ARMOR ON THIS THING!!!




As it stands, all of these plates have the primary armor colors done. The blends don't show up terribly well on camera (as usual), plus the messy edges of unpainted trim sorta blur the whole thing together.

I don't have a day off until friday, so I think ill be waiting till then to spray the main body metal (that's gonna be a LOT of metal!!!!) In the meantime, I think I'm gonna start on the many, MANY pieces of trim!

Lacking the ability to make white decals, I'vegone and started on the long road to detailing this beast...




I did have one minor case of paint pulling away with the tape... Right in the middle of a white kneecap
Well, guess this thing is getting a little battle damage after all!!


====================

@moonpie: Cheers, boss!

@EDC Many thanks!! Its been a heck of a journey so far, and I'm glad to have you guys aboard and following along!

@Savage: P3 thins so damn nice.... It really is a dream to spray

@Archer: Hehe... Why stop at painting it on? Im sure I could fir a real on on there the thing is so damn big! Wonder if I could get Nerd to FedEx me one...

Well, a mighty challenge lays ahead ramos, but it looks to be a fun one! I like the detailing on its plates so far, glhf friend!

Freehand and stripes on the armour plates are looking really good.

Very excited that this in finally coming together..
Nice touch with the starting details.

Should be interesting to see what you do with those shapes.

That is a lot of plates .. it should take you at least a week to get all that done.. or a day if you hurry!
Hurry!

Must be a ton of Magnets in the finished model.

It will basically generate its own void shield, and wipe every credit card within 10 feet.

IOr better yet collect all the spare change from folks walking by.. enough to pay for WM trip to Chicago.

One month and a Half.. Time waits for no one Big guy!

Lets see some progress pics - You can sleep when your dead!

Actually, the only magnets on this guy will be the head and the armor plates on the Laser Blasters. Everything else is so huge that it relies on pins and gravity itself!



So I've been quiet primarily due to no real interesting updates. Big guy is big, and with my 9-5 job, I dont have as much time to paint as I'd like! Not to mention that the biggest step right now is the quintillion miles of golden trim. So far I've got the base of the trip blacked out- not so necessary for the black plates, but the white had to go. This does start to make everything start coming together, though.




Since last update, I've sprayed the base silvers on as well. The light really blows out the color blend, but theres a nice blue-gray tint to the shadows. I'm going to paint a number of details gold on these, then spray a number of ink washes over the whole thing. That should get the recesses shaded and give everything a nice oily look. Touch that up with a final silver highlight and scratches ala nerdfest, and I think we'll be looking good!






The head is getting some love as well. Thats been most of today's work. Lots of little buttons and screens to paint and bring some color to the parts, plus the crew in colors similar to the Warhound's.








Soooo.... yeah!! Month and a half...

I think I got this!

It's coming along nicely Ramos. I can only imagine how daunting a project like that is. My hat's off to you.

Ah, yes now you can see where it's going! Looking good, keep at it

It's funny going from these huge plates to the minor details in the head and knowing its all for the same model.

Wash.. yes lots of wash..

Great update.. I love it when a Titan comes together!

I thought GW/BL changed things up, and most Princeps of the Big Boys were floating in amniotic tanks?

Did they change that up again?

Anyway - looking great so far!

This predominantly Black/White scheme is going to end up looking fantastic astride the battlefield!

I'm hoping one of the future heads has this. But as of now, they are all "traditional" style.

Lookin' good Ramos, That gold's gonna be fuuuun.

Hmmmmm.......

Ohhhhhh.....


Ooooooooooh!!!


Oh boy....


That sounds like a fun conversion :O



Left hand of darkness.... very doable, as the big guy is built to be totally swappable. Won't be able to run tenabre plus plasma in the current configuration. Both are on the left arm, currently on the left arm

Though still... very doable... and I'm liking how it's sounding

Nice work on the interior, exterior already looking special.

That weapon sounds devastating, gods that's scary.

I'd be amazed of they dont make an actual arm for it, since that is pretty much the only difference between an normal warlord.

That's beautiful! Is that going to be at Adepticon?

I want to see it in person!

I had this sorta thought as well... I think that it would make for a fantastic conversion. Especially if you lit it up from underneath!!! Aughhh... thatd be beautiful!

If they do indeed have an alternate head with this style, we're in luck! This big guy is having his head magnetized, so we can totally swap it out should we feel the need



@Lorek: Yes indeed!! The plan is to have this guy all kitted out and delivered at the event. WM's in the Titanicus game, apparently, so looks like "Hells Daughter" will be drawing some blood on her first outing!!

Pics..

Wow, that's a powerful Psi weapon.

Pics...




Bridge is about done- Just a couple more tiny bits here and there. Including this back door. Cant help but feel it needs some sorta freehand on the door... some kinda marking... Caution stripes dont really look all that good on the interlocking teeth... THinking maybe a single bar of color and some text. Maybe a numerical designation or something... Whatcha think?

Call it cliché, but what about a mechanicus symbol?
