Emperor Titan Commission

I completed the arm weapon hardpoints. A couple of wooden dowels held the arms in place nicely and hopefully they will not budge once the weapons are inserted. I have yet to cover up some holes with putty and make the slots for the weapons.

After I tested the model it seems that it starts to become heavy towards the front. I will have to add a couple of weights on the baack of the plateau to make sure the model stays nice and balanced.

At least the torso now rotates nicely.

 

Next up are the turrets in the top and the arm weapons - Im going to use pvc tubing for the weapons which is far heavier so that might be tricky for the overall balance.

Just realised the left arm is leaning to the top.... damn prototypes and their deficiencies....

 

C&C welcome

No real progress yet, just thought to post this for some lolz :P

 

This is what I think the Imperium would come up with if they ever decided to make something bigger than an emperor titan

And maybe a reaver titan on the top!

No no, what it needs to be.. Warlord's for each leg, each carapace weapon is a Reaver.. and that one large hardpoint on the back is a warhound launcher...

 

That sounds suspiciously like an Angry Marines Emperor ^_^

 

I have some progress at last. A plastic coffee cup made the base for the head (like all my titan heads - cafeine ftw). Unfortunately I couldnt be asked to make the head openable and model the interior B)

 

I am glad with the scale - it stands at 38,5 inches at the momment which will be close to the final height as the Quake cannon at the middle back turret might give it another inch or two.

At last some progress on the model. We've suffered some damage on the hotwire cnc machine which put me back a couple of weeks.

Almost everything is in place now. The back will be kept open until I install the LED's. There will be 4 red lights in the interior to allow some light to shoot through the holes in various areas of the hull, plus 4 blue lights around the arm hardpoints.

I also have some more putty work to do, to cover up seams as well as finish off the laser blasters.

 

I dissasembled the thing to give me an idea how to pack it. Long answer short - Im gonna need a big arse crate!

 

The Hellstorm cannon and the Vengeance cannon are being constructed as I write this post so I should soon have more progress.

Im beggining to shiver at the prospect of painting it... :HQ:

This is where the LED controller and switch will go. I am going to have a hard time making the thing last for 3-4 hours without the batteries dying out.

As Im nearing the completion of this project I have gathered a lot of improvement ideas - many thanks to your C&C (which is still welcome ofcourse).

Khargan pointed out correctly that the thighs are too far appart. Next Emperor Im making will be around 3-4 inches narrower in the distance between the thighs.

The balance of the model actually gave up on me near the end with a catastrophic (and not to mention disheartening) but yet glorious(!) fall of the emperor on my poor Stompa.

Although I cant tell if my cat had anything to do with it - he does like to rub himself on anything around the house including my warlord titans which he has toppled on several occasions - the leg and knee position has made the Titan quite

heavy on the front. The next one will have a pose far closer to the original reference model (bent knees that is).

 

Thats it for now.

As already mentioned - C&C welcome!

Good Lord & butter... what are the stats and points cost for that beastie?

Many people have actually been found to use the Replacements strategic asset (found in Apocalypse Reload) on the Emperor Titan...

Jeebus... I need to make one now...

 

Ok on a side note, are Titans their own "army" or would they be sporting chapter colors if they are supporting Space Marines?

They form their own Legio's - like Astarte chapters or IG regiments. Only instead of 1,000 or 10,000 bodies, they have 12 of these guys :lol:

 

EDIT: I put titan chapters instead of astarte chapters... :mellow:

Ok, feel free to lol at the Vengeance Cannon - I did that too when I realised how chunky it was. Its like a cartoon titan. Offcourse, being the lazy git I am, there is no chance I am going back to design and build the thing again. Cartoony titan it is then :P
