Guest kodopitharos Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 So I sold my old Warlord titan prototype and went on to build a newer version with a resin cast head. As most titan fans, I absolutely adore Imperius Dictatio and I have made a couple of attempts in the past but, having acquired a lot of experience in the titan building process, I decided to build a newer version. I will base the painting scheme on this picture, and I will try out some NMN techniques as the large surfaces are ideal for this imho. Tommorrow morning I will start off priming it black and the applying some lighter grey tones to prepare the surface. So here we go... http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/Kodopitharos/Warlord%20Battle%20Titan/ImperiusDictatio.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/Kodopitharos/Warlord%20Battle%20Titan/ImperiusDictatiocloseup.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247321-imperius-dictatio-lucius-pattern-warlord/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studio Silvernale Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 The titan looks multiple levels of awesomeness. However when I look at the pose my mind keeps yelling "jazz hands". =D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247321-imperius-dictatio-lucius-pattern-warlord/#findComment-2994313 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Carnelian Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 That thing is just... terrifying! Great work! Cannot wait to see it painted!

Brother Cambrius Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Superb work! I've recently finished reading the Titan comic stories in a book I found for super cheap at a second hand shop. Loved every page of it and now to see it tabletop worthy gives me shivers. :D Cambrius Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247321-imperius-dictatio-lucius-pattern-warlord/#findComment-2994860 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kodopitharos Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Plating complete, I applied some non metallic metal using exclusively chaos black, bleached bone and a hint of skull white. The leg plates are putting me a bit off so I will do those again. Next part will be the various gears and symbols using NMM based on brown, to achieve a bronze/dark gold effect. C&C welcome! http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/Kodopitharos/Warlord%20Battle%20Titan/DSCF1533.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/Kodopitharos/Warlord%20Battle%20Titan/DSCF1532.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/Kodopitharos/Warlord%20Battle%20Titan/DSCF1534.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/Kodopitharos/Warlord%20Battle%20Titan/DSCF1539.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247321-imperius-dictatio-lucius-pattern-warlord/#findComment-2999207 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangelus Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Amazing! I am not sure how the NMM works in this case but the end effect is fantastic. Great job!

Guest kodopitharos Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I eventually ended up doing the entire thing with NMM techniques. It didnt work great everywhere, but still - I like the cartoony paintjob :ph34r: Just the 2 turbo lasers to go so after that I will post this in the Hall of Honour Again any C&C is very welcome http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/Kodopitharos/Warlord%20Battle%20Titan/DSCF1546.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/Kodopitharos/Warlord%20Battle%20Titan/DSCF1549.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/Kodopitharos/Warlord%20Battle%20Titan/DSCF1551.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/Kodopitharos/Warlord%20Battle%20Titan/DSCF1553.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/Kodopitharos/Warlord%20Battle%20Titan/DSCF1558.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247321-imperius-dictatio-lucius-pattern-warlord/#findComment-3000314 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Very nice. How easy was it to construct and does it break apart easily for transport/storage (unless it's going on your mantlepiece)?

Guest kodopitharos Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Very nice. How easy was it to construct and does it break apart easily for transport/storage (unless it's going on your mantlepiece)? Construction now takes me approximately one week. The torso, head and weapons are all detachable and come in a custom made polysterene secure box. The entire package (including the packaging that is) weighs a bit less than 6 lbs. This one is mine :teehee: However, once I start constructing the next generation titans, which will have resin cast platings with tons of detailing, I will probably sell it.

Vor Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 When are the next generation Titans expected to go up for sale Kodopitharos? I decided I'd finally make the plunge and buy one of your Warlords yesterday after my friends declared an arms race by fielding an Apoc list with 16 D weapons against my 14,000 point tank heavy list yesterday! I lost about 5,000 points turn one alone, and then it didn't help I lost another 3000 points of my Grey Knights to deepstrike mishaps turn 2 :) If the next gen of Titans are going to be alot more detailed however I may wait a little while.

MordentHex Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 great titan, transferring that to Resin is going to make it a lot heavier. Make sure your joints can take the stress, would hate to hear you wasted so much time and effort on something that just falls apart. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247321-imperius-dictatio-lucius-pattern-warlord/#findComment-3007119 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for taking that long to reply - I was out for some time. The Titans are evolving slowly but steadily. Resin parts have already been added, and I am adding more resin bits in the coming weeks. However I have come to a stall due to some mishaps with the CnC I was using which means that I won't be able to build any new titans soon. The only project that I can currently work on is a Banelord prototype. By the way, 16D weapons is a lot even for 14,000 points. A decent workaround is to bid 30 minutes for deployment and take the Careful Planning strategic asset leaving everything in strategic reserve. Most people dont expect an all reserved apocalypse army :lol:. This way you can save yourself 1 turn of D weapon death :lol:. @MordentHex You are absolutely right. I've seen full resin titans that topple gaming boards :). The resin parts I am using are in essence sheets of detailing which keeps the weight down. The only solid resin part is the head which weighs 160 grams. Also, here is the banelord WIP http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/Kodopitharos/Banelord/DSCF2347.jpg http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/Kodopitharos/Banelord/DSCF2346.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247321-imperius-dictatio-lucius-pattern-warlord/#findComment-3022880 Share on other sites More sharing options...
