• Creating your own Titan

    Introduction: This is going to be my very first article in this comunity. what I want to do is to tell you something about my latest project and maybe giving some of you a bit of inspiration with it. The project:I love the space wolves, but I also do like the imperial guard with its' huge variety of weapons and vehicles as well. and because of the fact that my wolves are on a mission on a imperial planet for about 30 years now, the local forces took over some of the space wolves rites and designs. they even let them get part of their own culture.-so from now on I do no longer have any problems with integrating non space-marine-vehicles in my current army. of course I had many other ideas new vehicle-creations as well, but in the end I decided to build a walker, which should fit in a kind of wolvish scheme.Article-structure:first of all I want this article to privide you as many wip-steps as possible. Therefore I will also link pictures of stati in it I undid some steps later, just for giving you an idea of all of the possible directions the project could have gone so far ... most of the pictures I will leave uncommented for the very first time. of course I will add information to it and give answers to any of your questions wich might occour later on.but now lets start .... :first I started cutting enough space out of a land-speeder cockpit to provide a third seat for the commander. then I started putting parts together, just to get an idea of what is possible .... aferwards I noticed that the commander would not have any chance to get to his seat from inside the titan. ... therefore I needed to create some kind of space in between the other two crew-members ...  I decided to use the parts from the defiler kit for the legs and rearanged them a little bit. for defending himself I also added a door-gunner for the back I took the landraider exhausts this is my very first brainstorm of how a foot could be build ... :-) of course I also had to increase the main-weapons' size. so I simply gave them long barrels. the dark part on top is the back of a 1/35 leopard2 tank and here's the second door-gunner. I made him leaning with his knee on the rail which also supports his heavy bolter. now I started adding some equipment to the cockpit. I started with tft-touch-screens ... ;-) after that the head was about to get his wolvish style by getting some teeth and a wolf-skull-like design. I kept the bolters movable by using lego/legs as mechanical connection. I didn't like its' old hipp-design. so I had no choice than to change it. once again I used the lk's from an LandRaider and combined them with parts from the defilers' legs. on this picture you can see the latest foot-design. the metal-looking parts are the bolters from a hurrican-bolter-system taken from the LR-crusader.  I added some armor and details and the leg was almost finished. now the front of the leg-mounting had to be done ... .  I wanted the titan to provide transport-capacity for 10 humans. but because of its' height  had no other chance to get the crew to ground, than attaching a kind of elevator-mechanism to it, which at least brings them down half the way.. of course this thing is not finished yet, but I hope you enjoyed this article allthough. as soon as i've continued working on it I'll update this article and if everything works fine I hope to finish it within the next weeks.---------(please excuse my bad english, but I think almost everything should at least be comprehensible.) comments are highly appreciated :-)

    A box workstation for painting: design process and bodging carpentry

    A box workstation for painting: design process and bodging carpentry

    This is an article about what I did, in the hope that some of it may be useful to you, but it's not an article meant to tell you what to do. It's meant as an encouragement for you to think logically about problem solving, and to think sensibly through a project to end up with something that serves your needs well, but has not cost you a fortune in money or time. The aim is to get the job done, and then get back to your painting and gaming. The project here is to build a box for paints and equipment, but most of its principles will be equally applicable to any other project in wood, such as gaming tables and scenery.

    Throughout the article I'll use the format of picture first, followed... read more

    First Article- Simple Basing

    So I was working on the base for my trollblood guy and I though I might as well take advantage of this opportunity to bring you guys our first article on basing. I was going for a pretty simple base with a bit of a marshy feel. So lets get to the fun stuff! Ok so to start off I made a mass of milliput in the rough shape of a rock. At this point you can't really make it look... read more
