Seahawk Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 So I decided to do a Warhound for the LPC...I must be crazy! Still, I'm gonna do it. I acquired it from my friend at 1/5 the normal cash cost, so I'm not going to complain too much. This is the condition I got it in: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/veritas117/100_4353.jpg I plan on completely redoing the paint scheme and, well, finish building it! One thing at a time, the next thing to do are the pistons. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245011-lpc-2012-vow-warhound-titan/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassill Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 You sir are indeed crazy. I salute you, and will be standing by to see this through. Please continue. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245011-lpc-2012-vow-warhound-titan/#findComment-2962967 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimdarkness Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I thought the brother who vowed to paint 35 models was a little off. Good luck.

Brother Cambrius Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Well I must say Seahawk you have gone nuts! :whistling: Best of luck in this endeavour! Will the colour scheme you paint be similar to the current one, or are you planning on making a drastically different paintjob? :devil: Also, I propose this Titan should be blessed as "Maneo Martis", meaning "Enduring Spirit". I think it's appropriate for this great undertaking you have tasked yourself with. :D Best of luck brother!

Zincite Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Ouch. Three months to get a Titan finished. Nasty. :whistling: From the sound of adding the pistons, you actually have all of the parts, rather than that being all you got?

Seahawk Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Well I must say Seahawk you have gone nuts! :whistling: Best of luck in this endeavour! Will the colour scheme you paint be similar to the current one, or are you planning on making a drastically different paintjob? :devil:Completely different. I'm pretty much settling on the War Griffons titan legion at this point. From the sound of adding the pistons, you actually have all of the parts, rather than that being all you got?I have everything but the crew that goes in the cockpit (have the command chair though! haha). I think this will be fine, as I'll most likely glue down the top of it anyway. It's a little warped, and my efforts to fix it got it mostly there, with the only other fix available is gluing in place. The rear compartment in the main body is all there, so I'll leave that as detachable for viewing at least. My friend has a couple months to find the bits, but if they don't turn up I'm not worried...like I said, $100 for a full on Titan, with most of the hardest work done and some additional converting completed? Yes please! Don't expect any updates this week, as I'm prepping for a WHFB tournament this weekend and I still need to complete some of my Tomb Kings first :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245011-lpc-2012-vow-warhound-titan/#findComment-2963499 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 So I managed to sneak in an update anyway! :lol: Not too much, just sprayed the legs grey; a good start. I wanted to get it done before the temperature drops 40 degrees tonight, as this will give me plenty to work on for a while by itself. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/veritas117/100_4356.jpg As you can see, that there upper body detaches! My friend had another mutual friend do some conversion work involving moving parts; the hips were one and the guns were the other. I'm going to leave the upper body detachable, since it'll make it much easier for transport and also will be cool to have (nobody else's titan will have quality hip action!). Because I want to attach all the gubbins, unfortunately I'm going to have to solidify the guns' placement at some point though. This doesn't bother me anyway, as the screws that stick up through the shoulders look ugly compared to the little plates that go on top there. Plus it makes it great for painting! I also managed to detach the cockpit (wasn't glued strongly), so I can either reposition it or, if I'm feeling particularly cheeky, magnetizing it so it can stick in multiple positions. Dunno yet, we'll see. One (titanic) step at a time!

Olis Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Magnetise it! Think of the gasps of awe when you show it off in person!

Razblood Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Ah brother Seahawk will come through. We are Ultramarines, we never fail! We will bring glory to Ultramar! I have one word for you - Calth :) Anyway on topic, This is a very brave undertaking and though it ill behooves me to wish an Ultramarine well (Glory-hogging Cerulean robots ;) ) I must say that I truly hope you succeed here as I think this has a good chance of becoming something stupendous to behold :) Looking forward to the next update :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245011-lpc-2012-vow-warhound-titan/#findComment-2966032 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Good news! My friend found his cockpit crew and I'll be able to paint them and stick them in the cockpit! All parts are now accounted for. Bad news! I'll have to put in more time to paint them, the cockpit, and magnetize the top armor so it can be removed for viewing. Still, happy to have those parts soon in hand.

calgar101 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Hey Seahawk, it is always nice to see more titans around! What are you using to glue it? If you're not already using one I'd suggest a 2 part epoxy, will be much stronger than super glue or anything. I would also suggest to pin those parts you don#t intend to move. Let the god machines walk! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245011-lpc-2012-vow-warhound-titan/#findComment-2966550 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furniture Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 My god, what a good deal on getting the Titan. It will be a monumental task to get it completed in only a few months, but if you pull it off, the result will no doubt be awe-inspiring. Best of luck on your vow, I can't wait for more updates.

Seahawk Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Updates! Finally! I've finished the grey armored parts; last will be the yellow parts most likely. 21 days. Cutting it close?
