It's been a long time coming...
I've finally finished my Reaver Titan; Ferrum Dominus. I started work on him an embarrassingly long time ago, but he's finally finished and I'm genuinely thrilled to be able to show him off at last!WITNESS ME!!!!
 |
| Ferrum Dominus in all his glory. |
 |
| Go ahead. Make my millennium. Punk. |
 |
| Reaver sense... danger?! |
 |
| Imperial Knight Errant can literally run between his legs! |
Carapace
 |
| Iron Skulls Legio symbol made from scratch! |
 |
| Painting this giant Mechanicus cog took ages, but was so worth it! |
 |
| Secondary Carapace - it's a shame that this beautifully sculpted cog is normally hidden! |
 |
| You do have to wonder who has the job of washing bird poo off the hull... |
 |
| "...may the blessings of the Omnissiah be upon me as I scrub clean this avian faecal matter..." |
 |
| Remember - always use protection... 4 Void shield's worth! |
Apocalypse Missile Launcher
 |
| Yo Dawg! Heard ya like rockets... |
 |
| Super-heavy kill markings plus a tribute to the long allied House Raven |
Laser Blaster Arm
 |
| Laser blaster. When you absolutely positively must kill every other engine on the battlefield. |
 |
| Danger of electrocution and / or atomisation. |
 |
| Titan class kill markings and honours |
Gatling Blaster Arm
 |
| Nothing tells your Imperial Guard allies you care like raining giant burning shells down on them! |
 |
| The level of detail on this kit is staggering... |
Lower Body
 |
| Here to protect you!! |
 |
| Ooops. Sorry. I'll fix that... |
 |
| The Aquila is a raised Styrene shape which took a long time to draw and cut out.. |
 |
| Reaver feet are impressively poseable with a huge number of components. This kit is not for beginners... |
|

| Note the manufacturing stamp and reference to the Forge world of Metalica |
 |
| Tools to fix up the defence line... |
Interior Details
 |
| I spy with my little optical lens array... |
 |
| Note the black and white Moderati helmets... |
 |
| So many dials... |
 |
| Mmmmph. Mmm. Phmrrmph. |
 |
| Push dis one boss? |
 |
| His piano skills are better than his singing voice. |
 |
| Servitors. Controlling the weapon systems or holding up the ceiling? |
 |
| Apparently IN the ceiling... |
 |
Pipes. Lots of them.Transport!As he represents such a lot of time, effort and money, I decided to get old Ferrum Dominus his own transportation crate. I spotted this metal trunk while poking around an antique store and decided it would be perfect for him! :) |
 |
| Looks the part doesn't it? |
 |
| Fits in standing up with only his Apoc launcher removed. He's even invited some little friends over! |
What stands out for me is clearly the weathering. I like the effect of the paint flaking of on the red parts. Always great to finish a project that has been sitting for some time.
ReplyDeleteReally like the transportation solution!
Thanks matey - it's nice that someone noticed! I don't use an airbrush as I prefer to paint everything by hand to ensure I have full control! The only downside is that it takes a lot longer!
DeleteMate, just seen your comment over at WeeMen, great stuff, love the weathering, chipping and detail work. Awesome looking Reaver (mine is Honorum - painted by Rich Gray, I'm working on my Warlord). It will be great to see your Engines and Knights at the next TOC Walk UK - it was brilliant. I will make sure I add your Blog to the blogroll at WeeMen so we can keep up with your progress. Whats next on the to-do pile?
ReplyDeleteThanks Siph - appreciate you adding me to the blog roll! I'm currently working on a Frost Giant and will be posting with my progress very soon! I'm also looking to finish Tide Breaker over the weekend, so keep an eye out! :)
DeleteFantastic build, really nice work
