This is what I have been working on for the past several months. He is not 100% complete, I have a few more details to paint, but it shouldn't take too long.

Unfortunately I had to epoxy him together, the glue I used wasn't strong enough and the magnets I attempted to use were either too strong or not strong enough. When I buy his companion Warhound or big brother Reaver, I will know better what to do.

I plan on a demi-legion of titans, 2 Warhounds (Fire (Infernum Rex) & Brimstone Sulphurius)) and 1 Reaver (Vesuvius Mori) to support my warband of Iron Warriors.

Please let me know what you think.

A little static pose maybe, but the paintjob looks good. :) I have thought about buying a Warhound a few times. But I'm afraid I will ruin it when I start painting it. :)

The pose is a bit too static and it seem like you haven't paint the armplugs.
Other than that it looks good, another glorious creation of chaos ready to destroy the imperium.

The plasma transition from dark blue to light could be smoother. the red and gold seem to be well done.

Thanks for the comments. I know the pose is a little static. One of the legs broke real bad when I was trying to carefully saw off a chunk of resin. I was furious. I tried to fix it and I did the best I could. I learned for the next time.

The arm plugs was another story altogether. I originally wanted to magnetize the arms, torso and head for ease of transport to and from games, I bought a few magnets from K&J magnetics. Well they were WAY to powerful. They didn't fit in the arm holes and the ones I used for the head and torso kept pulling the glue apart. What another nightmare. I ordered different sized magnets but they weren't powerful enough to hold the arms up! I had a big convention to attend this past weekend so I was under a time crunch so I glues and/or epoxied him together. The arms were glued and came off when I brought him back home so I am going to get different magnets (again) and try to fix the arms. The torso and legs are epoxied so will never come undone.

I am happy with him and he was fun to play with. He was christened with 9 destroyer weapon shots the first round of the first game and survived with just losing an arm. He was destroyed in the second game in round 5 of six and killed everything he shot at including another warhound. My Iron Warriors did very well as well.

Well, good enough excuse.. now, proceed with Sulphurius! :thumb:

Onwards, to the painting area! Towards paint, brushes and glory!

Try small neodymium magnets, about 2mm in diameter. Add them one at a time until you've got a level of grip you like. Two magnets in contact with each other would probably support the arm.

An alternative (and more in-depth) conversion involves some ferrous (conductive to magnetism) wire, a pin and a few neodymium mags. Put a guide pin in the center of the upper part of the socket. File or carve a slight channel around the outside of the ball joint, towards the bottom. Glue your wire into this so that you have a 'hoop' of conductive area. Put a few magnets in the socket of the arm itself, so that they contact the wire when the arm is together. The end product is the arm is capable of being held together and rotating.

If I ever get a Warhound this is what I'll probably do with the arms. Problem is I can't think of much I can do to personalize such a great model. The Chaos Reaver, on the other hand, I can work with. Straight away a big set of tusks :demon:

How's your Titan doing Loki..?

That looks great! I love how you've managed to keep it looking so dirty and old. I would imagine that's quite hard to achieve on such a large model. How many coats of red did it take to get such a fine finish? Or did you use basecoat paint?

Ah.. Currently awaiting assembly of the Gatling Blaster arm and one Apocalypse launcher?

Sulphurius was actually easy to paint. I primered in black then painted one coat of scab red. The edging was painted in tin bitz then dry-brushed with shining gold. Then I washed everything in black. After I highlighted some of the battle damage with black and boltgun metal around the edges. I need to finish the minor details and work on the arm pistons.

These pictures don't do it justice, he looks good in person as well.

Thank you for all the comments.
