Thanks my friend. I have a long way to catch up to you though.

Here is some finished Nid pics. The Sporemines are all green stuff. The pics are brighter than the actual models. Basing still in progress.

Home made spores look great! Looks like your gettin er done before Adepticon.

Ah. Another long night, but I was determined to finish my 2 Armies. Basing is complete on my Nids. Necron Army is repainted. Just need a bit warmer weather and I'll sealcoat everything and start figuring out how it all gets packed.

With that complete, I started unpacking the Warlord. Tomorrow I'll start cleaning off the mold release and resin nubs. I've got two different heads so I might use the original head as a trophy for the powerfist. A Shakespeare 'poor Yourick' moment.

Cleaned and now the tedious work of cleaning the bits of resin sprus. I'm calling her Gwendolyn.

Wow, fantastic progress SL. Looks like you're rollin' for Adepticon.

You're a one man manufactorum, SL

Progress

Nice progress on that titan. Also a big fan of those custom sporemines. rad stuff.

Warlord titan? Grabs bags of popcorn waiting for new installments!

She's affectionately known as Gwendolyn. And yes there is a back story of which Gits is probably the only one who knows.

She however needs a proper High Gothic name. So I introduce the Name The Warlord contest officially open.

1. Must not be pornographic or sexually offensive.
2. Must only be two words
3. Must sound High Gothic. Provide the intended English translation.
4. I will pickmy top choices for a vote.
5 . You can enter as many times as you want, however first come first serve.
6. All entries must be submitted before she is finished. (Painting included). She needs to commissioned before Adepticon.
7. And most importantly... Be worthy of a God Machine.
The winner will get a prize (Beyond naming rights).

I’ll kick off the name game.

Sol Invictus. Literal translation is the unconquered sun. There is some Roman god background there, and is the patron saint of soldiers.

Vae Victis. Literal is woe of the conquered. It refers an idea in line with “no quarter given nor expected” and is in line with a total victory.

Constantia Praesta - excel in perseverance

Conflagrante Gloriosum - spectacular explosions (if you prefer, Conflagrante Actinosum)

Ultimum Judicium - final judgement

Lues Haereseos - Heretic's Bane

Leonis Solaris - Solar Lion

Preadia Adsummum - destroyer of all

Pestifer Mundi - destroyer of worlds

Occidendi Sanctus - saint of killing

Imperator Gladia - sword of the Emperor

Lancea Belli - spear of conquest

These are awesome.

Insanus Emptio - Crazy Purchase

Irreparabile Machina - Irreplaceable Machine

Statura Titanicus - Very Tall Titan

Siginficat Statum - Status Symbol

Destinato Opibus - Resource Allocation

--Brian

Victoria Magna - grand conquest

Imperii Dignita - declaration of Dominion

Invicta Seniori - invincible overlord

Etnunquiam Cedra - the unyielding

Reginavirorum Sicarior - queen assassin

Looking forward to the weekend. Ordered magnets for the body and arms. I have some tight tolerances for the weapon mounts. Hopefully the drilling goes smoothly. I'll only get one shot at it so if I crack or break the resin I'll be screwed.

One of the more difficult parts to building the Warlord is the leg pose. It has to be stable and level to support the torso. I've elected to do so without a base like WM's Warlord. ( They are meant to be in the same legion ).

More pics coming. All great name suggestions by the way!!

Gwench!!!

Don't tease me thus! Brent wasn't the only one with a crush on her...

Progress. Was the most nerve-racking day. So far putting the legs together was I believe the most difficult part. With getting the right pose, making sure it is all level, kit that comes with lots of parts and making sure that the glue holds, dries in the right position made for a long night.

Here is my progress. The torso isn't attached yet just resting for overall looks.

nec femori diem=no leg day

Soror Exitium - sister of destruction

Bellum Pythonissam- war witch

More work on the legs. The JB weld didn't hold on one side, so I took the opportunity to reposition a bit. Re-glued. Hopefully it will hold.

Started to dry fit all the carapace bits and found a lot of warp in spots. So I spent a lot of time heating and refitting parts. I think I got it to where I can start assembling, but I need to wait till I get my magnet order.

Started assembling weapons, I'll have available Plasma, Volcano cannon, Apoc missile launchers, and a powerfist for each arm. I'm going to try and make the left powerfist holding the head of another Warlord Titan. I plan on using the Lucius- alpha pattern head, so I have the Mars one to use. I'll have to add cabling and trailing wires to look like it was ripped off. Such grand plans.

That sounds super cool, though.

Venandi Capitis (or Capitis Venandi) - The Head Hunter

Verum Titulari - Holder of Truth

Pugnus Aequitatis - Fist of Justice

Vae Martis - Alas, Mars (or perhaps Eheu, Martis! - Alas, poor Mars!)

See, now you've started giving me ideas

Or, as it's so swappable:

Telum Elige! - Choose your Weapon!

Omnium Temporum - Something for all Situations

Semper Paratus - Always Prepared

Omnia Tela - All the Guns

Conspiciunt Morte - Gaze upon Death

Quod Repenso - Overcompensating for Something...

OMG. Graven. The last one made me lol on a work Conf call.

Both the power fists will be made with the extended claws

Non dakka user submitted these...

Deus Malleus - God's Hammer

Occisor Regina - Killer Queen

More Magnum - Big Death

In preparation for the head in hand look I dry pinned all the finger joints so they all articulate. This way I can get the arm in the right position and put the Mars head where it will make the best look, then positionings the individual fingers to enclose.

Since the Warlord will be mostly black and white, I'll go with a red for the Mars head. Draw the eye.

Looking good so far Solar, did I miss it or are you also pinning some parts together too? Loving the input your getting on her name.

Yeah most all the leg parts will be pinned. Work is making it difficult to enjoy this build. I still have 10 weekends though. Started priming and roughing in the colors on the weapons.

Houston we have magnets. Happy weekend awaits.

Throw some name in the hat buddy!

Speaking of magnets - but not of Warlord titans - is there any chance you could show how you magnetised one of your Contemptors?

I've got one I'm hoping to do this with this year, but have zero experience using magnets thus far.
