Hey guys,
Figured with the release of Adeptus Titanicus and my infatuation with this game, as well as the the experiences I've been having modeling these guys so far, I might as well post my progress on here. So, here we go:
First up, one of the Warlord Titans. Got the skeleton built, magnetized and primed:
So, this guy was interesting to build. The kit went together really well, however, as advertised the legs are completely dynamic and pose-able. Meaning, all of the leg pieces do not have a set way to go together and it was a bit of a challenge to get the pieces into the pose I wanted. In fact, this lead to me making the most colossal f**k up of my Warhammer career. Ater deciding on the pose and committing to gluing the legs, I had most of the leg assembly completed and then realized I had glued the lower leg assemblies backwards... (meaning the knee joint was facing the wrong way). I succeeded to break apart most of the pieces, except for one. There was no way to get it apart without physically breaking the leg assembly, like the plastic itself. So, off to the hobby store to get my first razor saw and after some major surgery, I was able to get everything put back together correctly with the pose depicted above... One good thing was with the 2nd try of posing everything, I was able to get a more dynamic pose than I originally had. But yah, nothing like a monstrous screw up to punt you out of your comfort zone, modeling wise.
Ok, some other pictures:
For scale.
And lastly...
Really, for scale... (awww... look at those little knights..)
Anyway, progress is commencing. I will say the warlord magnetized super easily, as advertised. Now, my next steps are to get the knights done and assembled (all 6) and then back to my other Warlord where I hope I'll have learned something and not need to take a hack saw to any knee joints...
Lastly, I think I have my Legio picked out. But I have to figure out my game plan for the 2x knight houses... On one hand I'm tempted to have House Terryn as one of the houses, since they predate the Heresy (although I'm not familiar with any of their specific actions during the Great Crusade/Heresy). Not to mention, it would be hilarious to have a mini-version of my Imperial Knight. But for at least one set of 3, I want to do another house, and so, need to research the best bet. But we'll see. As may not be surprising, I'm trying to stick with a Legio and Knight Houses that were connected to the Ultramarines in one way or another.
Ok, that's the progress so far.
