So after hearing about those Jucoci miniature transport cases for so long, I finally saw one in the wild, and I must say they look very nice. All this to say, I now own a case that can actually hold a Chaos Knight army without playing Tetris to keep all the spikes from tearing each other apart.
I want to say this is the fault of the original #40K#creators, being young, edgy, metal loving British men who thought things "happy endings are for girls," or "the Grim dark future is serious."
I WANT to, but I CAN'T. Because at the same time #Warhammer DID have a sense of humor, and it did have a sense of fun.
I'd swear to god if I wasn't an atheist, but "the #WarhammerCommunity" used to be different. At least until the middle to late #2000s, when many of "the old guard" started leaving.
Played in a doubles 40K tournament yesterday. It was fun, but a long day. I played my Imperial Guard and my teammate played Custodes. I was the Artillery support for his objective taking monsters.
The titan's torso is assembled enough to get a glimpse at the final product and he's HUGE! For reference, the can of Zandri Dust spray primer is 7.75" tall and that chainsword is 14.75" long from tip of blade to bottom of powercell. This guy is a towering 22.5" tall and he doesn't even have his carapace armor, guns, or void shields on yet!
If you've never seen one before, here's an Acastus Knight Porphyrion fresh out of cleaning bath to remove the mold release. This is going to be a big boy. That one hull chunk on the right is larger than the entire upper carapace of a Questoris/Abominant class knight, larger than a Cerastus as well by the look of it. This is why I haven't posted Titan progress lately.
Irgendwie habe ich heute erstaunlich gute Laune und dachte mir, dass ich doch einfach mal die Skizze umsetzen kann, die ich vor zwei Tagen wiedergefunden habe.
Hier also der kleine DreadDog und mir fällt auch wieder ein, wieso ich den damals überhaupt gezeichnet habe! Und zwar war das, weil mir aufgefallen ist, wie süß die Dreadnoughts in Dawn of War 2 aussehen (so klein und rund) 😶 Deswegen auch die Farbgebung.
Taking a break from the Titan (not really, the epoxy is just drying) to paint something a little different. So I went ahead and painted up a couple Khorne Daemons to be allies, starting with two characters. These were fun to do and were relatively quick to paint. I'm especially proud of the Skullmaster's sword.
And that's just what they'll do.
Weekly progress update on the Warmaster Titan! The legs are fully assembled and posed. This is a BIG model. I'm fairly sure the sizing is within an acceptable margin of error based off the height chart GW put out. Especially given that the Knight has a waist extender giving it a bit more height.
While the Warmaster Titan's torso starts on the printer, it is time that I begin posing the legs. I had to get creative with how I tightened it down to keep the Gorilla Glue's expansion from moving it out of the pose I wanted. This guy is BIG as seen by the the Bloodmaster by its foot.
Hey there #WarhammerCommunity, I'm trying to make some basing for my titan and I need opinions. I 3d-printed these and then placed a sledgehammer on top before heating to simulate a crushed effect under the tread of the titan. Does it work or should I go for more?
Since the Titan project eats up so much of the printer time, I have time to finish up some other projects that I've had sitting around. Here's a set of 3 Crisis Suit proxies that I'm printing for the group's T'au player.
One spool of filament down and we're up to the knees on the Warmaster Iconoclast. From the base of the foot to the top of the knee joint is 8.5 inches, so this is going to be a big one when it's done. Currently printing the thighs, which are a 25 hour print-job. Next update in a few days!
I've been a little quiet lately, but that's because I've been getting this monstrosity prepared for printing. The voices of the Warp have spoken and they demand a vessel. Not just any vessel but a 40k scale Warmaster Iconoclast Titan. Yes, I have gone quite insane.
Does something this large even count as a "miniature" anymore?
Well, one of the crew has suggested a round of some Kill Team, so probably time to give the old Eldar box a rummage.
Knew I'd kept those for a reason (that wasn't actually the reason, it was more a sense of nostalgia, sunk cost, possible resale value and the non-zero possibility I would return to this or an adjacent hobby).
Also I know their called Aeldari or some other nonsense now, I'm too old for GW's rewrites.
Knight Tyrant Complete!
Weather finally cooperated enough to allow for varnishing of 'Sardonic Feculence.' All that was left to do was to apply some Blood for the Blood God and Nurgle's Rot technical paints to achieve a suitably blood/pus-filled look.
Next on the painting desk: 'Slaughter's Serenity,' my Khorne Knight-Castigator. 'Death of Duty' is short! @warhammer40k@Bluesheep
