Evil Tyranid of doom Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Hi everyone. I'm new here, so I don't really know how this all works. True, I am a tyranid lover, but I am also with the Imperium, and would like to know how to build a 40K scale Warlord Titan, or if you can buy them? Any help Would be lovely, so thanks for listening. :jaw: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Bjoern Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 For a Warlord you should ask our brothers at the Adeptus Mechanicus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamJacksUserName Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Unfortunately of all the posts and boards I have seen involving building Warlord or Imperator Titans there is always fierce debate over the scale. In my honest opinion though if its bigger than a warhound and looks awesome I would not care about the scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Tyranid of doom Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 Thanks very much for all this advice. Just a little help- What can you equip a Warlord with? And if Anyone might be able to help with how big this beastie is, that would be most appreciated! Maybe some schematics I could follow to build one? P.S. I've signed up to that site you gave, now I'm waiting for help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Mulcahy Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I believe they stand about twice as tall as the warhounds, proportionally wider as well. As to what they can be equipped with they stat out a Warlord in the apoc book. If you haven't picked that up I highly recommend you do, or at least borrow a friend's.

Evil Tyranid of doom Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 By the information you give, I'm supposing its three feet tall. ITS THE SIZE OF MY BROTHER!!! I never expected it to be that big, so I might need EVEN MORE help now! As for the Apocalypse rulebook, I thought that was a Reaver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of the Emperor Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Well that makes it easy... just wrap him in foil and put a box on his head. Then draw an angry face on it. Instant Warlord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NewPerson Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 What SotE says is right. just wrap him in foil and put a box on his head, stick 2 little straws and draws a mean wolfish looking face Instant Warhound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Tyranid of doom Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 Warlord Titans should be made really detailed, like the one I saw at gamesday. A proper Turtleback Warlord! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smelly_squig Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 on the bwc archive there is templates to build a dreamforge model that looks so much like a titan if you have an account then go here http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/bwc-ar...%2040k%20Plans/ then download the top file the model can be seen here: http://dreamforge-games.com/id41.html i dont know why but the page can still be found in google and im sure i heard they had to stop making them due to the similarities to a titan you could use them templates to buld one i am not sure how big a warlord should be but acording to dreamforge it is 22 inches tall which is twice the size of a forgeworld warhound(10.5 inches) i think that using the templates you could get the bits i see as being hard such as the legs, arms and basic body structure built then the back would need to be built or if you wanted you could leave the building on the back but im not a big fan of that i saw someone on warseer do it which makes me want to do it when i have more free time(and cheaper plasticard) http://www.tanksandtrolls.co.uk/40KChaplain%20titan.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerSmurf Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Just wrap your brother in cardboard, put him on the table with his fingers stretched out yelling "bang bang, you just melted", and be done with it :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FerrumIgnatus Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Well, knowing that there's a fierce debate going on about it's size, I mean that as long as you have an eye for details, size doesn't matter. Let's say you're going to build one, and settle down on a height of 600 mm. It's not THAT enormous, but hey, it's big enough to scare the bejesus out of an marine mini which is only 28 mm tall. You'll probably go for Cities of Death bits like the manufactorum and administratum building tiles to give the armour plates some detail, and you will more than likely use a staggering amount of plasticard sheets and tubes to scratchbuild pneumatic systems, basic armour plates, and maybe even build a detailed "Command Deck" in the Warlord's head. Just be sure to carefully plan your building set-up, maybe draw some "blueprints" to help you out, and laugh at those little whiners that complain about it's size. It's the quality that matters, not the quantity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accommodator Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Size, eh? Well, according to the treatise put out by Tim Dupertuis, who published a discussion and thought process about scale in Inquisitor #2 way back when. The gist of it follows: "The exact scale of both WH 40K and Epic scale figures and equipment is somewhat inconsistant. 40K figures combine 1/35th scale heads and 1/48th scale limbs on 1/60th scale (height) bodies using artistic license to exaggerate for effect, giving us the artfully exaggerated figures we all know and love. The scales in Epic Space Marine run from about 1/250 for vehicles to about 1/350 for Titans giving an average of 1/300, about the same scale as GHQ MicroArmor." In the end, he came up with the following: Warlord Top of carapace weapon 16" Carapace 13" Reaver Top of carapace weapon 13" Carapace 11" Warhound Carapace 9 1/8" Eldar Phantom Head 17 1/4" Fins 22 1/4" Eldar Knights Top of head 7 1/2 - 9" Gargant Top of head 13 1/2" Stomper Top of head 6" The final is that Armorcast upped scale to around 1/60th for their titans. The incomplete Imperator stands 40" tall... and is more than big enough, for a gaming piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Tyranid of doom Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 I know how big a Warlord is by popular vote. It seems that everyone I know says three feet is an adequate size for a monster! Do you guys know what A volcano/Quake cannon looks like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accommodator Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 P.124 of the Apocalypse book has a Warlord armed with both those weapons. If you don't like that small drawing, try browsing through FW, and see what they currently interprete a volcanoe cannon to look like. I still use the old Epic figs for the look - not as advanced nor as detailed as the current view of the weapons, but good enough, I suppose. Okay, photos: Here is one 40K scale Beetleback WIP with those weapons: http://www.tralfazsolutions.com/MegaBattle/Gallery012008/ Here is one of the correctly scaled Warlords with an oldschool volcanoe cannon: http://members.cox.net/mbiasi/battlepicts/...es/02200039.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Tyranid of doom Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 Warlords have to be bigger than that, the Warhound is nearly as big as it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FerrumIgnatus Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 By the way, are there any rules for the warlord? (those which are sort of realistic, apocalypse-houserules, not those übercheesy rules that are made in favour for it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Tyranid of doom Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 There are official rules for the Warlord. Go to games workshop, and ask for the Apocalypse rulebook. Warlord rules galore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Lorien Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I would suggest tht you just take a size of 18 to 20 inches as i have read in several GW pieces that a warlord stands 2 times the size of a warhound. Remember its not really about how precise the size is , its more how it looks CJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
