Building a 7ft tall Warhammer Model | IMPERATOR TITAN

When I was a kid, my local Games Workshop held an Easter event where everyone on the board was fighting against a single Imperator class titan. The Imperator titan was represented by 2 chocolate tins, and whenever we did damage to the 'titan' we could open the tin and munch a piece of chocolate :P

My local game club had an apocalypse event once. Multiple tables fighting at once, in a big room, and the biggest guns, could hit other tables and stuff. Some times judges had to go and inform a player, that his army was gon, due to something hapening two tables away 😂😂 It wasn't a super serious event, so everybody had a good time

Damn, you've managed to keep it still looking like a "miniature" despite it being 7 feet tall! that really goes to show that craftsmanship at work. Love the idea of it being more of an architectural piece. Amazing stuff!

[@federationprime]

I think this is the ideal scale Imperator. It's actually big enough to fit a platoon inside the legs, and a congregation inside the church backpack. The head is even big enough for multiple command decks!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Exactly! The bridge needs to be big enough for lots of people to walk around in multiple levels

[@kennethfharkin]

@@EricsHobbyWorkshop For scale I like to think back to the days playing Epic and Titan Legions. We had a three way Imperial / Eldar force fighting a huge Chaos force. Angron boarded the Imperator and began fighting his way up clearing the levels below him. In old Epic this could be done (haven't played any newer editions). Next the Eldar piled into the Imperator and began chasing Angron to the top. It became a race of could Angron kill off all the Imperials on board before the Eldar could reach him and stop him. Those were some great gaming days and I am fairly certain that was one where we saw the sun rise when we finished. This model is big enough you could set up boards dedicated to different levels to fight your way through it.

[@PatgaW609]

Ah, yes. 40,000 PTS worth "miniature" model. Truly superb work, Ave Imperator and you!

[@gnollman]

Man, that is looking absolutely fantastic. As an old time EPIC Space Marine player, it's just perfect. I can't wait to see it done and painted.

Damn, this brings me back. At the height of Forge World, before GW cancelled pretty much the whole thing, this hobby really seemed like a world where anything was possible. The battles were just going to get bigger and bigger, and we could all take part. There was even a forum or two exclusively for people who had Titans of their own, whether the as-new Warhounds from Forge World, or scratch-built themselves. I love this.

[@SeanConneZombie]

This is just amazing! Side note, since the clearance with your ceiling is so small, make sure that's accounted for when making the method for disassembling it. Would suck to finish it, then found out you have to rip a tower off to left it up.

you really nailed it with the size of this thing.
