@theemporour yes you can use you scratch built Titan in a game, there is no rule that says it has to be official GW/FW piece. BUT, as of yet, I believe you can only use titans in games of apocalypse. MAYBE in games of grim bastion too, but no clue. Otherwise hell yeah make your own Titan and then go and smite your foes in glorious battle. THE EMPEROR PROTECTS!!!!
... when you get down to it with Titans; Bigger is Better, and every titan scratch-built after the first is about a foot larger than the last, and 23% more complicated. Eventually, its on a 3x2 foot base, is 5-6 1/2 feet tall, and has internal lighting, as well as an army of Orcs running/climbing up it's legs...
No offence but the reaver/ warhound look a little, unprofesional isnt the word, but it is the closest thing I can think of. the main problem I have is that it seems a little 2d, just because the legs, body and head are pretty much made out of one piece, but thats just me. Congrats for having a good time though. Thats what it realy is about in the end. :)
well personally when people in our hobby shop set to make scratch built titans man we go through like every model there cut stuff outa sprews goin home getn supply's took us 6 months to find the parts to build a warlord titan looks pretty damn close to looking like it too after 6 months it better be huh lol..... but sereiosly man it was the funnest damn six months my friend bill his kid almost fell on it a and that was 3 months into it but still keep up the hard work go scratch building. WOOOOT
I guess you weren't really aiming for detail, more proxying. Good idea though, as not everyone can afford titans. It wouldn't actually bepainted in the Black Templars scheme, more a Titan Legion one, like Legio Warp Runners or Legio Metallica.
Totally correct. I'm a 60/40 want to play the game/critical on how the models look kind of 40K player. And for the Reaver, I set out to put it together in 3 days so I could play a larger Apocalypse game.
Realizing it wasn't a $500 forge world model, I took some artistic license with painting it up with Black Templar logos.
It's odd to talk about "legal" when playing an Apocalypse game. They encourage people to create scratch build models for Apocalypse games because they'll often come out with stat sheets before the develop the model. In a standard 40K game, the rule is that all models must have something GW to be considered legal. I took that concept to my titans. Which is why the warhound has a rhino & the reaver has a landspeeder for their heads. I've played 4 Apoc games, never had an issue with using them
Sorry it took me so long to respond to you about this. 90% of the materials used on the titans was 1/2 inch Polystyrene boards. Add a Rhino, a couple of pens filled with glow in the dark paint and you've got a titan.

I really love the idea about the lights to indicate void shields/structure points. Great idea!

dude i think its way better to scratch build these even if you do have the money for a FW titan...
i mean why would you want to have the same thing as everyone esle right?
its just dumb!
so if you have money that just means you should be able to come up with an even more convicing titan. =D
and its just plain fun to build them ^_^
