Thanks All, this has been the year of the titan for a lot of us.

Whoo hoo.. got my FW order today so I 'll be in good shape to get the right load out finished for Adepticon.

Merry Christmas to you all and here's hoping for a great year ahead!

Looks very nice!

So how cold is it in the shop with no heat

Merry Christmas sir, best wishes for the New Year.

Looks amazing - that would be a treat to play against once it's all done.

Not quite finished, but on the way. Quick Camera phone shot.

Need to finish the 2nd arm Laser blaster and rig up a mount for the turbo blaster carapace. Currently soaking to remove mold release.

Lookin' good! What an excellent contrast of colors, no two colors are more different!

Looks amazing! Great work.

Cold as the outside minus windchill.. too damn cold!

JatW and BC - Thanks. This has been a fun project; though I didn't do any of the interior work ( trying to keep it a simple as possible, besides it plays no part in the game and I'd like it to be a solid as possible) it was cool to see this come together.

Next up like aforementioned.. Finish the other weapons ( carapace Launcher & turbo laser, the other arm laser blaster ), glue the arm mounts ( weapons are magnetized) into their final position. Finish the base. Lastly determine if I magnetized the head or glue it on permanently.

Still waiting on some orders for the WE army I'm bringing to Adepticon. More chain axes, Spartans, LR, Jet bikes, drop pods ect. I'll start the Inf build soon. So Little time!~

Does adepticon have a HH tournament? If so, what's the limit? But of course, have fun with your World Eaters SL, seems like a fun project!

That thing is big and crispy! Love it!

Yes, the HH stuff seems to grow every year. Not sure points wise.. have never played in any HH events with the exception of a Zone Mortalis tourney last year. ( very fun ).

Thanks my friend.. Again with the food references.... now I'm hungry for tasty Thai Eggrolls..

That's a mighty fine-looking Dreadnought, Solar.

Great job on the checkered pattern. Looking great overall.

I am really impressed! Love that checker pattern kneepad . Really looking forward to an assembled pic!

Dysartes, WF, Ritides thanks... I can do checkers!

Looking forward to the final Adepticon build. This titan with 2 arm mounted laser blasters and a Carapace mounted turbo blaster can put out 8 D shots per turn technically 8 to 24 wounds each round. Pure Titan killer. it's main role is to protect WM Warlord by being too big a threat to ignore.

Praise the Emperor !

Got the carapace Turbo Laser mount complete and primed last night. The fit was a bit loose so I put some magnets in the carapace mount to keep it in place. The weapon is so front heavy due to the length of the barrels and I had to redo it with larger and more powerful magnets to keep it in place. Not ideal but hopefully this will prevent it from falling off.

A couple more touch ups with the main body ( namely the waist pistons ), glue the arms in place ( again - weapons magnetized ), glue the carapace, shoulder armor and Head into their final positions. Lastly finish the base.

I'm thinking of adding the Tech Engineer somewhere on the base since the main body will be closed shut.

The Titan is looking fantastic Solar

Thanks for the kind words. It has been a fun project. Most likely won't finish up till the weekend when I can leave it drying in somewhat normal temperatures.

Your certainly keeping at it, looking fantastic

Thanks Alaricuk, It actually feels like it taking a long time to finish. but it's something special so I'm not too frustrated. So having said that...Here's to finishing the Titan in 2016.Some pic's on Monday to start off the new year in proper form.

Best to all of you in the New Year.

Finished.... teaser pic more tomorrow when I'm awake...

Looking good, Solar, though I'm looking forwards to more pictures tomorrow.

Do you think it has enough firepower there?

The loadout is specific to the Adepticon game of just Titans. So built to take out those Shifty Eldar Titans. I have the more traditional option for other use.

as mentioned.. the more traditional loadout


Lastly a size comparison for your enjoyment



On to WE Marines....

How was mounting the Warhound arm up top? You'll have about the same firepower as me for the Titan game with that loadout.

If you sweet talk Ramos, he might have some extra decals for the Titan legion.

I used a 20mm magnets to hold it in place, otherwise it's too barrel heavy. I had to scratch build the gun mount and close the mounting hole at the top as the gun looked strange upside down.

Still with all that fire power you'll have the 'WOW' threat factor. You also have the VS and HP to back it up.

Cool I'll see if Ramos would bring it to AC and put it on for me all professional wise.

That's a sweet mpdel! Thanks for sharing. It's awesome how much it dwarfs the knight titan.

That really is stunning work indeed, and I can see how aesthetically cohesive it will look towering over your lamenters also. Excellent stuff!

That's beautiful SL. Just an amazing job in a very short amount of time too. Bravo!

Thanks... It's big.. I'll have to find something to fit it in for travels to Chicago. Now to find me an APOC game to play it in.

... and blowing them up.. This was on the opposite side during the Badab war. The Lamenters never faced the loyalist Titans, They were knocked out of the conflict before the siege took place. It is the same legion as WM's Warhound painted by Ramos and soon to be added Warlord!

Started building WE inf. So far we are at 50 MkIII, Ten Tartaros Terminators. Still need to determine the exact load outs. I guessing mobs of bolters and chainaxes to start.

Depressingly red, from my understanding. Not a proper Badab Titan.
