More 40k Titans and vehicles than you can shake a stick at!

[BulldogUK]

OK, finally found some time this weekend to knock together those additional weapon systems for Odin!

Lot of people have 'complained' about him being way too big for a Warlord, personally I say if your gonna build a Titan, build it as big as you can, clues sort of in the name  ::)

Anyhow, seemed a good enough excuse to build something!

Odin shall soon be upgraded to 'Warbringer - Titan Hunter' class, I will work out some in depth fluff as things progress but basically your looking at a behemoth of a machine specifically created to hunt and destroy enemy Titans.

In real terms this means a load out of 4 carapace and 2 arm weapons, maybe a couple of extra void shields and structure points. I figure it would also be feasible to contain barrack quarters in the huge carapace for up to 3 space marine squads (preferably assault to allow rapid deployment to ground level defence)

Roughly a machine that sits between the Warlord and Imperator but designed specifically to go out and kick some machine butt rather than sit back and provide support like the Warmonger class

In modelling terms I will replace the two AA mounts on the front carapace with 2 new weapon systems. 2 x Triple barrel superturbo laser destructors. A much larger and more powerful version of the weapon mounted on the Reaver Titan specifically aimed at overloading enemy shields allowing for killing blows to the unprotected machine beneath. Although these are some of the smaller weapons wielded by Odin you may note that they are still as big as a Reaver Titan....yikes!

Anyhow, progress pics below, will update once they are painted and mounted





Raided the bits box again, empty tamiya thinner tubs, some old make-up bottles (erm, the good ladies, not mine I hasten toi add!) and the tops from the sprays I use amongst other things went into the build......waste not want not!

Anyhow, sprinkled a little paint over the Super Turbo Laser Blasters, nothing too fancy they are after all stuck right up there on the top of the Carapace!




Hopefully call into the shop sometime this week and fit them to Odin, will get some pics soon as...

[BulldogUK]

Weapons 'tup top and extra void shields installed! When I get the time will russle up an Apoc data sheet...

Not able to face one more piece of chocolate over Easter I decided to go back over the FW Reaver Titan. The initial paint job was a little rushed as I was a little excited and wanted to see my first large FW model finished! Anyhow, this weekend I worked it over head to toe, lined details, highlighted a few areas, added a couple of mechanicus symbols to the back of the weapons, little things which I missed on the first pass but niggled at me over time

Not sure if many of the changes actually show that well on the digi pics but with the mk1 eyeball in my opinion it defo looks the dogs danglers now, hell even I am pleased with it!

One thing chaps, was toying with the idea of adding a little weathering to the feet, similar to the sort on my tanks, dust and a little splashed mud...what ya think?

Few pics, lots more on Mjolnir's webpage Mjolnir Reaver Titan latest pics at the top of the page just after the story

Oh, for those that asked the blue was achieved using Tamiya colours X-3 Royal blue, X-4 Blue, XF-8 Flat blue and XF-18 Medium blue. Layed onto a black base in that order. I dont really have an airbrush techinique, very casual I would say, Pray n spray  ;D Never believed in wasting too much time on one model so all I can say is go with what your comfortable with, use more of the final medium blue if your going for a more faded look. The gold is created using a range of paints called 'miniature paints' again onto a base of black use Bronze then old Gold in that orde. If you want to line a little detail in when your done do it with a brush using a mixture of GW gold and Mithril silver

Anyhow, how's a Reaver Melta cannon in a morning from a matchbox sound?

Don't really need it but I couldnt resist the title and wasting a perfectly good matchbox!

Here are the base components, 1 x matchbox, 1 x used prittstick tube, 1 x tamiya thinners lid...and we're away! (original turbo laser shown for scale)


Basic shape has been put together


The heat shield isnt as complicated as it looks, simply measure out the slots, drill a hole at both ends then using the knife cut out the middles, quite theraputic!



All done! The heat shield will not be glued in place until painted, final pic is my favourite stage, undercoated to bring all those weird and wonderful parts together to form the illusion



Will post some pics once I have slapped some paint on it. Built totally from scrud* items, I estimate taking paint into account it cost something like 37p, not a bad saving on the FW original!

I have just recieved my new hot foam modelling tools Gareth so Anthea Turner should be afraid....very afraid  ;D

Looking forward to having a play with them, will probably warm up on some basic scenery possibly some 1/1 scale 40k weapons with the culmination being a full size dreadnought or probably more interesting for you gareth a 6ft bio titan grappling with Odin...it's all there in my head, pretty excited at the possibilty of lightweight/cheap bulking agent for the larger projects, woohoo! just.......need.........room.......and.......time.......

Anyhooo, in the meantime, slapped a little paint on that melta cannon, left off the cables so it allows me more weapon option rather than being fixed to a particular side. Gotta admit I checked out the stats, thought it was a little pants....then I saw the 10 inch template....Sweet Monkey Jesus!

Bulldog, they're all just so freaking awesome I'm drooling on my keyboard.

And I've just got me a brand new dial action airbrush and compressor, so I especially appreciate knowing what colours you used for the blues and metallics :D

Can I ask if you remember how you did the flameS?  Did you use a mask, or just freehand it with a bursh or paintbrush?

[Baldemyr]

Fantastic.  Im super impressed by all this stuff.  I want.
