Terrain and Scenery - Wrecked Warhound Titan #3

Hello All, thanks for dropping by. Following on from Monday's other wrecked titan terrain, the other half! This is a wrecked Warhound titan to be used as terrain. It is also 3D printed much to my chargrin as I like to support Forge World when buying actual titans, but £457 is way too much to spend for a piece of terrain, even for mad ol' me with my many many FW official Titans! 

Like before, I took inspiration from a mate's own titan, this above is John's Legio Ignatum Warhound "Omnissiah's Fang" so I have recreated in it's image.

The 3D print has several scars from battles, unfortunately it's legs have been taken from beneath them. The smoke marker is also 3D printed.

The quality compared to a FW resin one is very poor with wrong scale and print lines, however as terrain it is perfectly adequate.

The scale of this print bought on eBay is nowhere near to scale, noticeable on the weapons but less so on the main bulk of the torso, however as terrain it's not really noticeable and doesn't detract.

And for ease of storage and transport to events where this will be used as scatter terrain, the smoke marker is magnetised.

Terrain and Scenery - Wrecked Warhound Titan #2

Hello All, thanks for dropping by. The only good use of a 3D printed Titan in my book is as a wreck terrain piece. I am an avid fan of Forge World and do my best to support them with my numerous official titans, but I am loathe to spend £457 on a piece of scenery so a quite crappy 3D printed version will do for that! This is PLA line printed and boy can you see the layer lines but as terrain it's completely usable.

In honour of co-author here, Lord TITANium H's own Legio Crucius titans I painted to match his Warhound Titan "Blood of Caldos". The first wreck was Legio Mortis, seen above and HERE.

The smoke was another 3D print and clipped to size on the base so match the hip ring, to simulate some catastrophic explosion leaving just the legs! The torso is being used for another terrain wreck maximising the terrain pieces to spread around the battlefield.

On the base is the remains of the blown off arms, a Vulcan Mega Bolter and a Turbolaser Destructor.

The smoke was simply painted black all over then sprayed from above with grey and lighter spray of bone and a red light spray on base to simulate fires burning. Simple and really effective.

As you can see the 3D print is not to scale to the official Forge World titans and of poorer quality but as terrain it does the job admirably and the scale isn't actually noticeable unlike the shot above! 

The base and smoke marker are also magnetised so they can be detached for ease of storage and transport to Titan Walk events. The first wrecked Warhound terrain can be found HERE.

Terrain and Scenery - Wrecked Warhound Titan #1

Hello All, thanks for dropping by. The only good use of a 3D printed Titan in my book is as a wreck terrain piece. I am an avid fan of Forge World and do my best to support their continued production of Titans - 7 Mars Warhounds so far, and 3 Lucius, plus Warbringers, Reavers and Warlords... anyway, even with my collection I am not mad enough to make a wrecked one from a FW model! (Warhounds are £457.50 without Arms at time of posting), so to have a cool terrain piece I sought out an alternative.

A poor Mortis Legio Warhound, as my most common adversary at Titan Walks has been Drake_Seta's or Winters Warhammer's Mortis Engines. I added a big skull icon from the bits box plus two FW skulls for the arm mounts. 

The Plasma Blastgun is out of scale and a lot fatter than the genuine article and overall the 3D print is nowhere near as detailed as the resin FW kits, but as a terrain piece its ideal for a quick and dirty paint job as wrecked titan. The magnetic coils of the Plasma Blastgun are powered down from my usual blue glow pulse designs to the copper mag-coils un-energised.

The head is at an acute angle, neck-broken as the Titan face-dived into the mud after losing a leg from a well aimed loyalist shot!

I added the neck cables as trailing cables beneath the titan, one powering the Vulcan Mega Bolter, and...

... the other detached underneath the torso to the head.

The detached leg I chose to do separate from the main base as the leg mass was quite heavy and would mean the unsupported severed leg would bend the fibreboard/hardboard base. It also means you can make the terrain more spread out and tell a story - and more practical for using the terrain on a 40K battle if wanted.

I snapped off some of the knee gear and pistons to show the damage from the killing blow

And here is the proud Scion who downed the Engine, a Cerastus Knight Lancer of Legio Astorum ;)

Cheers, Siph (25pts - Warhound but simpler)
