Vulpa Daemonica Warlord Titan

 Here's a conversion I've been working on, on and off, for months now... Getting bits, trying things out, changing my mind etc.

This is not final still - I want to try different carapace options before I commit to this one. I like what this does for the silhouette of the model - the carapace weapons aren't jutting out and drawing attention away from the melee and the agressiveness. But the weapons themselves - long range missiles - don't work thematically. Just aesthetically. I'll try vulcan megabolters and the gatling blasters too; those are more thematically appropriate, I just wonder about the aesthetic of it. We'll see.

Additional horns and muscles etc seem appropriate too thematically, but whenever I tried, it didn't work very well. It looked too damaged; this is a proud machine we have here. Bloodthirsters don't need battle damage or extra mutations to look daemonic, that sort of thing. I think it'll work.

So what we have here is:

• A normal Warlord titan with an additional power claw sprue.
• The head is made by taking that long helmet design that comes on the power claw sprue - not the Spartan looking one, but the other one - and simply not putting the front side of it on. Instead, I used a Bloodthirster's face, added some Bloodthirster horns (just behind the jaw looked right to me). The butcher's nails are just bass guitar wire.
• The wrecking ball comes from a Skaven kit - the doom bell one. Don't throw away any of the chain bits from that kit - I cut them apart and rebuilt them so that the chain is wrapped around the warlord's fist.
• The chainfist is two 3D printed Eviscerator blades, surrounded by a bunch of bits and gobbins to create the engine.
•  The chains hanging around are model's right shoulder armor are just off the shelf miniature chains that I glued together in that pose with superglue - one chainlink at the time. It took forever and is still very fragile. Would not recommend.
• The groin plate contains Bloodthirster bits.
• There are additional bits around the model that are from various AoS Bloodbound kits. I don't know which ones since I got these by browsing ebay, it's really a treasure cove.
• I used Reaver carapace weapons for the missile racks. The normal Warlord missile racks stick out vertically too much, they'd ruin the contour of the model. I don't want the only mandatory ranged weapon to be very noticeable.
• The base is by Unreal Wargaming, with the Rhino and Land Raider by ZStu designs.

On to the pics and thanks for looking!
