    I have seen a lot of attempts at scratch building titans and this is honestly the best rendition of an Imperator head I have ever seen. I actually swore out loud when you revealed that final build after spray paint. Truly this is an epic build.

      You know. In the context of lore. He should be executed as a heretic. As there is no such thing as "scratch building" in the Imperium. He had a literal STC (the website for 3D modeling) and did not use it.
      But, getting out of the silly lore of Warhammer 40K. It is impressive and added his own personal touch. It is his Titan. There are many like it. But this one is his.

    This was so fun to watch, any plans for LEDs? I started using them about 2 years ago on my "show-ier" scratch builds and love what they do to make a piece stand out, that bridge could use a bunch of red lights to make it spicy! also for those eye tubes maybe? Familiar with plasma balls? One of those could make a sick reactor core, I have a little one that sits on my desk about the size of a billiard ball. Can't wait to see more!

      Even the mightiest war machine is but of a heavily armed citadel to be over run by hordes of enemy infantry. It does have advantage over citadel that sure it can ru...slowly walk away, but time it takes to take a step, will lead enough time for just basic infantry to hop on in droves and over run it. While difficult task for both defenders of the god machine and opposing force, any god machine is good as dead alone and needs its companying infantry to keep it from being over run, while friendly infantry really needs to stay vigilant when titan engages with its main armaments, as those can be just as deadly for anyone in general area when that continent cracking power is released.
      So add in skitari horde, few vehicles and smaller titans and yeah i would love to see that battle play out... though Imperators turn would take half a hour just from amount of weapons needed to be rolled.

    I honestly thought from the thumbnail you just 3D printed the head, but damn it looks so good all primed up. The scale really hit me now, like sure, you had the framework done, but it was just blocks of foam and some pipes. Now? Even without a lot of the detail work done, it's unmistakably an in-scale 40k thing. Very cool.
