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?

Tonight I went back to hunting not lines and fixing gaps. I used both my sprue goo and some milliput, so I can compare. They're both sitting but I'm different ways. The goo was leaving threads of plastic (I think it was too thick), and was very hard to guide.
Milliput was too sticky and I had to prepare way too much for my usage, it was also starting to dry. I still preferred it. I added some solvent to the goo, see how it goes next time. #Warhammer#WarhammerCommunity#warhamfam
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!
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
Just an update, but I reposed the rider and gave him a sword! I'm pleased with this one compared to the "surfer" motif I originally posed... that and it hides the terrible sins I had to do to the model's hips to get this pose working.
Okay, so that's a bit of a lie. I've done decals before but it was longer than I care to admit ago. Anyway, they process: decal in water, water on model, decal to model, allow to dry, MicroSol on decal, smooth decal, allow to dry (repeat if needed), matte medium on and around decal, shades to blend and make grungy. I think it turned out great and wasn't too much fuss.
Happy Slaaneshmas 40k fans! This Holiday season I've been working on a mini-pack of Moirax-pattern War Dogs. These are held together with blu-tac right now, but I'm happy with the results. I need to use clay to smooth out the basing but they're ready to prime when the weather cooperates.
Took a small break from the Chaos Knights to build and pose this Coldstar Commander for my buddy's T'au Empire army. He offers peace with one hand and destruction with the other. Please don't ask me what it's armed with, I don't think even GW really knows what T'au guns look like.
Haven't posted anything in a bit, because I was taking a break to keep from burning out while brainstorming what to do with the Cerastus Castigator. I wanted it to be Khorne-themed but the Tempest Blade just didn't work for that IMHO... then it clicked, smash-axe!
More progress on the Nurgle Knight Tyrant! I won't finish it completely tonight, but he will be far enough along to attend Tanksgiving tomorrow at the local GW. Still to do: trim on the upper carapace; gun housing stuff; so, so much oozy goo; and hide more Nurglings around the frame!
Another Executioner and a Brigand assembled and table-ready. I have a few more bits and bobs, small details really, to take care of before I'm satisfied with them. The heads are just held in by friction at this time. But I have a game scheduled tomorrow so these two might be hitting the table anyway!
Ran into this very good kit in a hobby store and didn't wanna skip it, since I wanted revenge on my first ever plastic model kit that I got when I was 8 years old. This is actually a model of an airframe that is being restored to flightworthy conditions in the Netherlands right now! I look forward to building this kit, though that may take a bit of time. Hehe....
