wow, i want, that is amazing, the strong colours just make it look soo cool

and if you havent decided on a name yet, my input would be Deus Morti/Mortali which means god of death if my memory of gcse latin serves me correctly, and it was only last year i did it...

 

again looks awesome

Have you gotten that yet or....

These are beautiful. I've always wanted a Warhound..which's want was replaced by the Reaver...and then they went and jacked the price up =-(

Its pictures like the ones you've presented that make me want to get it ever more. I love it! Finish!!!!!

Very nice! The galaxy would shudder if I got a titan, because I'd make it a joke..

 

"This space for rent"

"My other car doesn't have legs"

"Support our troops or I'll step on you"

 

and so on.

Actually, if you've got the list, please post (if that's OK), as I'd love to see it too!

I will if I ever get it :)

Good job, too often people buy these things and then the paint job is "meh".

I realized that also

it deeply hurts me when such an expensive model is ruined by the lack of painting skills or assembled in a bad way

I've seen warhounds with super static leg positions... looked aweful

that reaver is amazing!! i can't wait to see the whole thing though.

 

well deadline for a "combat ready" paintjob is saturday... I won't be able to paint today and tomorrow due to friends visiting but i think i will be able to make it in 2 intense painting sessions thursday and friday

 

forgeworld still didnt manage to send the knee armour parts that were missing and the small link chain for the banner :tu: I dont know what's up with their service, usually they are super convenient

i snapped 2 incredibly bad shots with my webcam because i was so damn proud after finishing the application of the decals i just printed... major problems occured so i had to re-print a whole sheet cause i messed the most important decal up that says "machine god"

 

anyways

it's thursday night and the game is saturday morning so if I don't make any progress tomorrow despite work all day and a party at nighttime I will have to take the titan to battle in a very WIP state

hopefully i can get it done in time...

Amazing would be an understatment :jaw:

 

I couldn't be botherd to muster the patience in buying, assembling and painting one Titan. And then there are people who do, some (like you) do more! Respect! GW and/or Forgeworld should really drop the prices on these babies or otherwise give partial refunds to people who deliver work like this on the web. No marketing or commercial can beat this.

 

Some of the best Titans I've seen. Excellent work on the details as well. Too bad their loyalist though ;)

 

Will of course be following the progress. Cheers,

 

Vandael

 

 

ps: Even your WIP status is more than regular tt-quality. Take the Reaver to war!

Amazing work on :P two titans!!!

 

i just looked it up on wikipedia and came to the conclusion that gamma is definitely not the equivalent of c!

in modern greek it is kappa which is (K) or ©

and it ancient greek it seems to be chi

http://www.dur.ac.uk/stat.web/greek.htm

thank you for the hint!

 

would u recommend to take the ancient greek or modern greek version then?

 

Hi, first I know there is little you can do at this stage BUT...

 

Chi is transliteraly CH but is often prenounced C with a bit of roughness, quite gutterally

Kappa rather is a K or 'hard' C and and would basically be procounced Luke-ius

(Source: i study greek for GCSE)

 

even so I think as they are both 'hard' or rough sounding that neither reflects the modern pronunciation of lucius which requires a 'soft' C

 

perhaps in this case the sigma may have been the better letter to use :wub:

here are the pics from the game:

one of the opponents that I crippled in round one

 

thoughts about the game:

- rule lawyers suck

- I had suuuuuuuch bad luck with the dice... the engines performed pathetic overall ;)

- turbo laser is definitely the best choice.. the gatling blaster was just pathetic.. I will defintely convert it into a volcano cannon when I get the chance...

- I will definitely convert a Vortex Missile and maybe get a second laserblaster...

Hey Tagsta! I got your email and I'll get you the information from IA six you asked for. Those are some seriously nicely painted titans! The scroll work and eclipses are top notch, and I think my titan is jealous.

 

LSM

aka The Inner Geek

thank you! can't wait to see yours finished as well

 

i did a lil more detailing and i can almost smell the titan being finished

a few updates:

i touched up the corona on the warhound's heraldry shield to make it match the reaver's better...

i also created another one of the leg armour plates with the yellow diagonal stripe

they are exchangable and attached with a magnet

 

The Reaver will have one of the following names:

 

Invicorus

Astor Tyrannis

 

For the Warhound i have the follwing in my mind:

Avernus Ultra

Canis Tertius

Lupus Nox

 

C&C Welcome
