Two heads are better than one

So a new friend and hobby enthusiasts took a spring break tip to the UK and came back with a very nice surprise. Warlord Titan head B. This head can only be purchased at Forgeworld HQ in person (or ebay at greatly inflated prices). I am so thrilled to have received it. I call it the "Cyclon" head, much better than the "Knight" head that comes with the kit.  I will be using magnets to make them swappable.

Thanks Todd!

Why pin when you can screw?

Doing some slow construction work on my Warlord. With the amount of weight and pressure that's going to rest on the lower joints I wanted to use a different method to secure the joints. Pins just didn't seem enough. So I used a screw.

I drilled a guide hole and used a routing bit to counter sink the screw. Once the screw was in place I used some JB Wield to fill.

I had to admit that was the most nerve wracking method I've ever used but the screw will provide a more secure join.

Got my inspiration from www.tanksandtrolls.co.uk

Supporting Troops

One thing the Titan Legions learned long ago is that Titans while effective and killing Titans will often be damaged by infantry. Once thought to small to consider a threat, now considered one of the worst. Bring on the Titan Legion support units.









I also wanted to get a close up of some weathering I did on the feet, toes and lower armor plates.
This look was achieved using Secret Weapon weathering powders. A super product and a perfect effect.

Nobody puts baby in a corner.

Hypron making his big debut at my local Warhammer store. Seems we have a bug problem.
