I'd say electro-hull and the upgrade (from elsewhere, an old IG codex I think) that makes Melta into non-melta.

Wow, looking more and more like the ipad to ipod toutch as in Tank to leman russ every day now!

[G.Hawke]

if it doesn't work out as a model, it would make one hell of a coffee table... and looks about the same size too.....

The titans are both amazing, eater's almost tempted me to make a nurgle army, but my faith in the Emperor held true, and I have not succombed >:]

I hope you two do a battle report for the game all of these war-engines when their done.

Keep up the good work!

So I've been thinking a lot about this titan game a lot lately. We've been trying include as much over-the-top stuff we can think of. What would make this battle even more epic? Then I started thinking about the characters of 40k. Why not have some of our favorite guys running around on the board while these titans blow each other up?


I love Dan Abnett's books, and the Eisenhorn trilogy stands out among my favorites. Since I'm playing the Forces of Chaos, what's more appropriate than to have Gregor's nemesis, Pontius Glaw, lurking on the scene? So here's my tribute to Eisenhorn:

Pontius Glaw





The story here is that Glaw managed to download his mind into another robot (sort of like a futuristic lich) and come back to cause more doomsday mayhem. He's holding the 'mind sphere' in his hand-- can't remember if it had a specific name or not since I don't have the book handy. I was thinking it would be fun if there were several more 'Glaw spheres' littered across the battlefield that needed to be destroyed as part of an objective for the game.

The necron lord seemed like an appropriate base to do this conversion. Just something fun, quick, and easy before diving in to paint the titan. Maybe we can browbeat lack0f into doing up an Eisenhorn model.

[BeatTheBeat]

Just got to dive in to say that I'm incredibly happy that your Nurgle titan will be finished and see battle! Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Cheers,
BTB

A giant rolling gun-fortress, and Pontius Glaw? My birthday's not for a couple months!

@Eater that's an awesome conversion. Dan Abnett is my favorite author for warhammer, his best book imo was titanicus.

@lack0f
That thing has more points then my entire army T-T

this is a cool idea, I really enjoyed the eisenhorn books to(are you aware he is working on eisenhorn vs ravenour?)

also I belive that the 'mind sphere' is referred to as just ' the pontius'..

@lack0f: How about some sort of sawn off quake cannon for your tank? i.e half range.
Makes a nice change to seeing another D weapon on the table and the artwork looks more like a proper cannon than an energy weapon.

Long time lurker, love checking back here to see the amazing creativity of you both.

[Faolan]

Orion, your chaos forces need more dreads. Preferably upper torsos mounted on giant maggots or the like :-)

[Irbian]

Or all three, then set on fire for a series of amazing photos, just because you can?

Aproved :P

[lack0fbettername]

we could do that.................. or not.

[DapperAnarchist]

Come on, how long would it really take you to build new ones (It should be noted that I took 5 years just to complete one Zoat, and I still consider sculpting new bits)

[Eater of Small Things]

Gross. I will have to come up with something appropriate for you then. Once I finish the titan I really want to make some normal-sized nurgle gribblies. So dreadnoughts and blight drones may well be in the works! P.S. Getting slammed at my job and home the past couple of weeks, so no free time for painting. Thanks for bearing with me, guys. Updates coming.

[lack0fbettername]

Slacker! You bring shame to your house with your lack of painting.

[Hushrong]

I have missed out on much but I must state the obvious and say that the Titan and heavies look great!

[pyrosocial]

we could do that.................. or not.

Burn, burn it for the light of the Emperor!
