Fajita Fan Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Worked on a new quake cannon, it'll be a week or two till I get a couple printed. Has there ever been any official art of what a quake cannon is supposed to look like? I just mimicked a modern artillery piece and modified a back end I found online that someone had made for an Imperial Knight gun. It doesn't look that good but I know the real, detailed pieces will be released right after I finish painting these. The new megabolters I printed came out too small for a Warlord but look okay on a Reaver, I need to get the mounts magnetized ASAP so I can maybe prime them this weekend. Maybe I should try printing pieces to make my Kaban machines like shoulder joints and such?

Cpt. Bannockburn Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 The quake cannon does have an official model, but not for the Warlord titan. It's on the Banesword too, though, so you can extrapolate from that. Here's a link to the ludicrous fluff behind it, and with a picture: http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Quake_Cannon Just a heads up: Kaban machine is singular.

Fajita Fan Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 http://www.galactic-intrigue.com/epicollector/Pages/2-Catalog/Imperial-Catalog/Imperial-Model-Types/Guard-Titans.html So this is a cool breakdown of the old weapon arms. What's a harpoon missile? I want to model some of this stuff just for fun now.

Mendi Warrior Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 You can also check the contents of the various catalogues on the Stuff of Legends website http://www.solegends.com/citcat1991a/cat1991ap119epictitanparts-02.htm The harpoon missile is from the first version of AT. If not mistaken, it is a one shot weapon that allows you to seize control of the enemy titan if the hit is successful (basically a nice hacking device), rolling in each subsequent orders phase to see if you gain control or not. And if you gain control, you completely control the enemy titan.

Fajita Fan Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 Wow, I'd have assumed a harpoon meant the titan can't back away from the shooting model but taking control of an enemy? Neat!

Fajita Fan Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 I decided to build my own back end to a quake cannon rather than use a file I found on Thingiverse. It's very, very simple for easy printing, I'll be able to try a couple next week since I can only submit one file a week. The front and back halves will be printed separately along with the magazine, I'm not sure whether to glue the magazine to the top or bottom until I see it posed up to the body.

Old-Four-Arms Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Wow, I'd have assumed a harpoon meant the titan can't back away from the shooting model but taking control of an enemy? Neat! The Harpoon missile and other old-school Warlord Titan weapons were described in UK WD 133 : https://www.games-workshop.com/document/222361363/White-Dwarf-133-UK-January-1991 Regards, Old-Four-Arms Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357478-3d-printing-old-titan-weapons/#findComment-5188705 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fajita Fan Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 Wow, I want that Trident weapon, that’s what I thought a harpoon missile would do. Thank you, I’m going to scratchbuild a lot of that stuff for fun!

Fajita Fan Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 I didn't love the bottom feeding magazine so I did one underneath, it'll still be printed separately next week. That's enough tinkering for now, time get my table cleaned off so I can get some actual work done. Two more Warhounds and 3 Warhound proxies coming up.

RipOffProductions Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 so, I might be getting a 3D printer for Christmas, my dad is thinking of buying me a Tevo Tornado, does anybody here with experience with 3D Printers have any tips, advice, or recommendations for 3D printers for the purpose of making conversion bits for GW models?

Fajita Fan Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 Prusa MK3 is among the best for about $800, most extrusion printers offer the same or similar resolutions. I’ve 3D printed a bunch of parts so far with more to come.
