Hey Guy, what happened to Terrainosaur's channel? He used to have a lot of interesting videos before but now there's only one left. Is he mad? Did something happen to him?

[@Tizzie137]

If i print my warlord before you build yours. I have officially won my own Contest i didnt tell you about

[@neal1366]

Don’t just throw away the resin blocks! Clean them up and make terrain barricades with them! It’d make a cool piece of terrain that also serves as a memorial to the massive amount of resin used. Might make a fun video too!

[@tomfordgunningham465]

This is an awesome idea!

[@bl3993]

I was going to suggest this and I'm glad someone beat me to it. Refuse, Reuse, Reanimate.

Don't just throw away the resin blocks! Boil them up to make soup.

"It's a bit cheeky not including the head with the body" Forgeworld's entire business model is a bit cheeky, but clearly there are enough nerds with more money than sense to keep them in business

[@markedforstrike]

Thats just in case you cant afford whole titan

[@wescha]

More true words have never been spoken

[@KappaKiller108]

Honestly it's a huge reason people never get into the hobby. Compare the complexity and cost of Warhammer models to basically any other modeling hobby and it's clear they super inflate the values of minis

[@thomasrevill7723]

Your description of the princeps made me realise their ultimate fate is actually quite similar to that of the Emperor, entombed in a piece of arcane technology to decay as their mind lives on - that could be another reason they're held in such high regard, besides the oversized murderbot

[@Bluecho4]

It's kind of the same thing with Space Marine Dreadnaughts. A half-dead astartes, entombed in a marine to keep them alive. Not even allowing death as a release from their duty. The Imperium does this kind of thing a lot, it seems. Creating parallels between themselves and the Emperor. As above, so below, I guess.

[@superchroma]

I read an old 40k book where a space marine captain commandeers an old titan like it is just a standard robot. Seems like the lore has evolved on the point.

[@Bluecho4]

@@superchroma Yeah, early 40K is full of stuff that got retconned in modern 40K. For example, the Imperium used to have ubiquitous robots. Not servitors, not a few heavily controlled units in AdMech. I'm talking full blown automatons, that were just an accepted thing by humans. There were rules for playing them in 1st Edition and everything. Because GW hadn't yet decided to crib _fully_ from Dune and include a robot rebellion in the backstory that soured humanity on AIs. The Rogue Trader era was replete with worldbuilding details that were removed, or were superceded by later world-building, as the game went on.

[@0hMax]

That's got to be the best head I've ever experienced!

[@MidwinterMinis]

OH MAX

[@notreallydavid]

'ere, no...'

[@Grymbaldknight]

Don't throw the offcuts into landfill! Recycle them into terrain. Those grey wedges look a lot like mini concrete barriers. A bit of trimming, sculping, and painting, and they'll look at home on an urban-themed gaming board as road debris or a hastily-formed defence line.

[@craigwadman]

Draper does a really nice set of mini files which are relatively inexpensive; significantly more control than the sponge file and knife.

[@MidwinterMinis]

That's good to know! Thanks :)

[@Tarvanis]

So, since Guy didn't have a Titan head, he got sent one by Terrainosaur. As a sign of appreciation and "repaying the debt" he donated it's retail price to parkinson's research, which is a matter close to Mitch's heart. And on top of that Guy sells the miniatures from the headpiece set he doesn't need, and is going to donate that money to the parkinson's research foundation as well. ...That's some proper "compensation" in my book. Hats off to you, Guy.

[@snorri788]

When supergluing put superglue on one contact point and dip the other contact point in bicarbonate of soda. The bicarbonate works as an activator for the superglue and it gives you an even stronger bond. Also any overspill on the joins can be filed back as it also acts as a filler.

[@terminator572]

excellent tip, I'll be sure to use this.

[@Terrainosaur]

Thanks to Guy and everyone who donated. It was over $12,000! I've since retired from social media. I'm fine. Please continue to support Guy. I considered doing a review of the top 100 KZbin hobby channels, giving them one word reviews. For Guy I settled on ... 'Deserved.'

[@MidwinterMinis]

Mitch, you are a legend. Enjoy your retirement!

[@simonwalker602]

It's rad that you got Christophe to do the logo, he's a good friend of mine and has done a few logos for my bands in the past. Recognised his style almost immediately!

[@Nihxen]

I would have painted the inside of the head because “it doesn’t matter that no one will ever see it, I would know, and it would bother me”

[@MrAndrewlang]

I wonder if some of the larger waste resin gates could be repurposed as concrete bollards/barricades? Its hard to tell scale on a video :D

[@zackcook5123]

A heck of a lot look like well scaled dragons teeth

[@firmak2]

You could build a full fortress out of it or a building if you use some elbow grease

[@alexisrodriguez6526]

Am I the only one that feels transported whenever he starts off the videos with that music? It's just so..... perfect!

[@apollothecoderule.8639]

this is a certified mechanicus classic

[@ayvasovskiy6726]

The Beta Head has been obtained, good, good. Now, Guy, obtain the Sigma Head and your army shall be unstoppable.

[@brithebuilder]

Fantastic! You should consider magnetizing the entire head in place so it can be removed and you can see the interior instead of just removing the top cover. May not still be possible but it would be a shame to close it all up with all the great detail in there.

[@CaiTay14]

You should create your own army! Customize Ultra Marines to match your dream army just like Table Top Time and their space bears

[@graefx]

This hobby never deserved Mitch. What a legend.

Saving the toxic resin dust to breathe it in at a later time. Well Done Guy ! :D

[@Wingsoficarus9868]

Yes. It’s here

[@beerenmusli8220]

You should definitely keep the black metal midwinter minis motives in your store. Cause I cant afford buying Merch right now, and cause fans of grim dark miniatures are also fond of that design :D

[@brandondollar]

I think for that particular head, if you paint the cockpit to a competition standard (complete with NMM and specular highlighting in the pilot's eyes), and then glue it shut, you get extra sixes on die rolls.

[@VictoriaVague]

That last patreon name was gold. Whoever that is wins the internet for this week. Also really great to see more charitable donations. Nice one Guy.

[@mariopalenciagutierrez4318]

you don't need to dump the extra resin parts, you could use them as tank barriers in a diorama or implement them into your buildings.

[@snorri788]

Keep those blocks! Use them in 40K for terrain

[@squeak83uk2]

@4:21 .. that flashing under the tubes is actually there to stop the mold undercutting and locking the rubber in place... you wouldn't be able to free the part otherwise .

[@ty3700]

Lets remember that you pay a huge chunk of money for this thing where you have to do even a more huge chunk of work.

[@dungeontomato2688]

Bro donating that money to the MJF Foundation is super dope! I love this kind of wholesomeness in the hobby! I am now Subbed!

[@LegendarySnoulKingNorth]

Use the resin off cuts as bases for Ork or makeshift barricades for terrain! It is a touch time consuming due to resin and all but it stops it from going into a landfill. Love the video and project update! Keep on keeping on!

Excellent to see the big boi getting some more work on him! Seeing all the cleanup/warping/gap filling you and Emil have been doing on these super sized Forgeworld kits makes me kind of glad I could never justify buying one. Either that or jealous. Yeah, ok it is jealous…

Super glue and baking soda works really great for small gaps. Look it up, and you'll find more info and see how well they work together. Quicker and cheaper than even miliput.

You can probably do something terrain wise with those blocks left over. Maybe barricades and maybe the bit sticking out could resemble rebar?

[@redthecrusader007]

There’s something about big robots that’s just… so cool!

[@wiggy5209]

I use my resin blocks as rubble that my venatari leap off of, instead of the plastic holders they come with. After building and painting my warlord, its quite satisfying seeing someone working through one, means i can experience the experience again, without all the work and unknowing. Mine has the Sunfury Plasma Gun, the Macro Gatling Blaster and Laser Blasters. Protected by 3 forgeworld cerastus knights, 3 imperial knights, 6 war-glaives and 20 secutarri.....in-case anything wants to and can get close.....A single warlord can span quite a narrative.

[@Berserkerworks]

Forgeworld sprue pieces make great jersey barriers. You're going to have enough to cover a couple city boards by the end of this!

You can still get the Beta pattern head at Warhammer World in Nottingham, but its £80 now. I got one from there yesterday.

[@oorlogshamer688]

Awesome video and awesome shirt! Christophe made my vervamon logo over 20 years ago, back then I guess he wasn't as big as he is now although by then he already made a lot of famous logos. Keep up the good work Guy!

[@arkhantheblack8934]

idea: convert those offcuts into a giant set of barricades for use in games, so they don't go into said landfill

[@alexanderhammond7205]

Anvil X Midwinter combo is amazing

[@theresalwayssomethingtobui944]

Great head! You can look for someone with a resin printer and give them the resin to get some more minis out of it! And avoid the fear of the landfill.

[@evanbasham4875]

I've been eagerly awaiting this notification. LET'S GOOOOO!

[@KelRiever]

I skipped to the end of this video because, really, I just wanted to see the thing done. Still gave you a thumbs up

[@smoessmee]

While it's cool they made such ridiculously massive models, I think my collecting itch is fulfilled by the Epic scale stuff ;) It's the same for the Thunderbolt, always wanted one, turns out I'm perfectly happy with the AI version, plus it's a whole game at maybe less than half of the FW Thunderbolt? Can't wait to see more of your Titan though :)

[@brainstorm8778]

That Tamiya thin cement dissolves milliput...? Mind blown.

[@halstenblack9258]

I guess forgetting the head kinda worked out since that Beta Head looks so awesome!

[@shaunl8576]

Why don't you make sprogoo from the left over bits. You can make some cool things from it.

[@nicolaiitchenko7610]

Resin off cuts etc. are collected here and used - not in land fill - but in concrete. I add it to the next load of concrete as i am building whatever the next project at the museum will be. (We have ab open air, 5 acre, 16 building museum that is undergoing a major refit and additions that include another three acres, four buildings confirmed (so far) and a large transport museum section. Eacj of these requires heaps of concrete in foundations and paths etc. so the hand mixed stuff gets the resin scrap as a part of the aggregate.

[@airborngaming2250]

That extra resin is infinitely useful

[@Nekorook]

that is my go to super glue and it is fantastic

[@cornmaized]

The way you say “the head” at about 10:00 reminds me of the nozzle but from venture bros

[@ShadowDrakken]

In case anyone is trying to find them, the "flexible little silicone tool" is called a "colo(u)r shaper"

[@Chodor101]

I think that gluing the whole head kinda defeats it's purpose, it would be super cool to see magnetized head that's either a "bust like" model, or actual head for titan.

[@Koziolekweb_]

Simple trick - use water when cut resin by saw and when sanding. Less dust, less mess.

[@MrStatistx]

Honestly the part where the helmet connects to the rest of the face, I would not even bother with the gap too much, cause since it's huge metal plates, it's believable that they are not 1 full chunk, but rather several, but that's your choice of course

[@The_Ghost_of_cabbage_past]

[@hunterwolf8266]

So jealous. Especially since I cant even afford a titan. But the beta style is easily the best head shape for the warlord titan.
