Valaas Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 How is the tau'nar in terms of difficulty to build? Were there any surprising mold bubbling/weakness issues or anything, or was it pretty straightforward? It's a pretty straight forward build compared to other titan models from forge world. The most difficult/nerve wracking bit is getting the 4 parts for each leg glued into position to ensure the stance you want and ensure the pelvis is level. Also some pinning done to strengthen the various leg joints. It obviously has the usual FW fun and games.

MithrilForge Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Well done (great idea tackling that in bite sized chunks) is that the knight pilot BTW? ... he needs a personal defense weapon ! ++EDIT++ i saw the cockpit pic,so that's captain random then cannot wait to see the rest of it cheers, Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335184-wip-nightwind-cadre-with-added-manta/page/2/#findComment-5023245 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Praetorian Guardsman is doing his best to not be noticed.... Onwards and upwards in more ways than one.....legs progressing well.

Panzer Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 So we've written it T'aunar and Tau'unar in this thread already ... you guys know it's Ta'unar, right? :D Love your base work, Valaas. Tho I hope you give the Ta'unar some proper battle damage as well. It was a LoW vs LoW scenario after all. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335184-wip-nightwind-cadre-with-added-manta/page/2/#findComment-5023543 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Omg!! I’m getting back to working for the Greater Good, this thread has blown my mind. I think the largest model I’ll probably ever own is the Stormsourge. Knowing there are bigger fish out there makes me happy!

Valaas Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 Hey valaas, we need an update bro! Cheers, Mithril So an update..... The Ta'unar , is progressing well, base done, gold on the legs highlighted and the two layers of Wazdakka have gone on, next up a few hours of edge highlighting (I'll take some pics tonight). I have also been prepping the next stage, the torso, filling gaps and magnetizing the arms. Hope to have the legs finished by the end of the week, so I can get cracking on the torso. The other big project with my mate Rick is also showing some major progress. Think I'm going to need a stronger gaming table!!!!!!
