classic DAD CAPS.

[@manictiger]

Love the cyberpunk look. Very Dark Age of Technology.

[@br42]

Did Steve put his 3d designs online somewhere?

[@jacobl3620]

What is a substitute for the blue using Calgary blue

[@enoughrope1638]

It would be really cool to see you make a coffin ship carrying/display case for it. To my knowledge there is no official artwork showing them so you would really have a free hand creatively speaking.

[@anotherzingbo]

It looks great! Now you need to organise a Midwinter Convention and invite all your patrons to take part in an Apocalypse game, either fighting alongside or against the Titan! 😁

[@MidwinterMinis]

Not a bad shout!

[@uwesca6263]

With this many people you could reenact battles of the fall of cadia or the siege of vraks when everyone comes as a guardsman. (Or as a traitor)

[@SimonBromley]

Would be happy to come as I live near Colchester.

[@tristanemery8748]

​@@MidwinterMinis any chance of seeing it at the colchester warhammer store? (This was sarcastic, I wouldn't expect that you'd wanna put it in there, though that would be awesome to see such an amazing """"mini"""" in my local store lol)

[@tristanemery8748]

​@@SimonBromley same

[@davekavanagh7599]

Those void shield generators actually took me aback, as impressive as the model is, the paintwork and banners are what truly make it incredible

[@Totema1]

The ending of an EPIC chapter of Midwinter Minis history!

[@surtrpicks]

You honored the commitment well sir, good on you.

[@Scarytoaster1809]

Truly, completing such a gargantuan task will require rewards. Someone get Ahriman's wine!

[@muskeldundret]

The titan came out way way better than I could ever have imagined. Your creativity never ceases to amaze. Your channel helped me get back in to warhammer 40K. Thank you so much for that, for all the entertainment so far and thanks in advance for whats yet to come. -A proud member of the credits crew

[@DragonaxFilms]

I love how this Titan is not only a personal achievement, but a collaborative one. It's a monument to your painter friends and patrons, which is just as cool it gets :D

[@hedu5017]

Guy I'm not gonna lie, after following your channel since March 2020, I'm a bit emotional seeing the Titan completed! It seemed an utterly overwhelming task when you started, huge congratulations on getting it over the finish line! Thanks for all the hobby inspiration so far, and here's to much more in the future!

[@kandifamily]

Exactly what I was going to say

[@fandaeckert1915]

Guy? What Guy? His name is now Man.

[@caydensmith3291]

This warlord titan is what got me into warhammer for the first time. And now I've finished my first big model. A fully magnetized knight. It's really crazy how much things change

[@nicktaylor897]

Out of curiosity, which knight? I'm thinking of getting one, but I want it to impressively big, and I struggle visualising how big it's going to be

[@Hanitcal69]

Guy this is incredible. Creators talk all the time about how thankful they are for their supporters, but I’ve never seen anyone go this hard proving that they really are. Props to you man it looks amazing

[@LinkiePup]

Its done… :( Its sad to see this series end, but I’m glad it happened!

[@J4k3R]

You all should be super proud, this whole project was a whirlwind slam dunk, and it was a joy to watch it happen unfold. Well done!

[@psi9000]

What a beautiful warlord! Your ability to give plastic and paint the appearance of having a long history of battle and experience, each little detail telling a story, is amazing!

[@michaelmiller7928]

Guy, that slowly backward dollying shot of you and the Titan sitting in an isolated space was perhaps the coolest shot you've made. It's so dramatic and yet intimate. Years of work love and dedication had brought you to this point. The lighting is so low key and has just enough of you and the workspace illuminated to create a fantastic shot.

[@gamingborger]

the Midwinter titan is beautiful almost beyond words

[@steppeone]

I’m sure this was bittersweet for lots of reasons, but I am so happy to see it complete. Now to finish the Gorkamorka set, and 2nd edition set, and Necromunda, and…

[@joenewkirk6136]

Incredible Result! Stunning work. Everyone who watches MWM has been through so much while the titan was being made, it's kinda moving to see it finished, and looking so flawless.

[@regulus_2284]

It's very emotional for me when you first bought the Titan I was still in high school, and now I can't believe its finished. Awesome work Guy keep doing what your doing

[@roadgoeseveron7128]

i will never ever own something like this (not that i would actually want to put myself through the whole ordeal of making it a reality), but being able to follow this so closely step by step is almost as good - must feel nice to have this thing decorating your hobby room/the studio, thanks for this journey

[@JonSteitzer]

You didn't touch on it in the video, but the Titan has also covered a period of huge personal change in your life as well Guy. There's something momentous, and bittersweet, about the turning of the pages, the ending of a chapter. I feel like the Titan has represented that. Congrats on the journey, and the roads to come.

[@thelinsky2319]

Woohooo! It is done!

[@purpleperfection6304]

My brother told me about your channel after basically forcing me into warhammer, and since then I've completed a 1000+ Grey Knight army, and like 1/4th of the Dominion box-set. My point is you were THE channel that got me into warhammer, your advice was solid, your jokes landed more often that I expected, and your content is some of the most genuine on the platform. Congratulations on this monumental achievement, and thank you for giving me the gift of my most interesting hobby

[@Vaderian88]

Guy this is not only an achievement to your channel, but also a community one. It shows that even with people you don't know will come together and support what they believe in. Congratulations Guy and to all.

[@huterboy5206]

I found this channel right as I was getting into Warhammer 40k. After seeing how easy it was to pick up some scrap parts and bits, I could easily make my own Ork units. The Great Gargant (in all of its sneakiness) build video was probably the first I’ve heard of the Titan, and its awesome to finally see it in all of its glory! Congrats Midwinter Minis, y’all just made my day :)

[@baronwalker2212]

what an amazing piece of art, and a fantastic journey. just astounding really how much work goes into creating something of this caliber, well done to all of you involved.

[@stingblademaster]

So glad we could be apart of this adventure with you all! Looking forward to the future 😊

[@euansmith3699]

13:00 I glanced at the screen at this point and could stifle an appreciative, "Whoooooa!"

[@Haruki2009]

This was so fun to watch and so sad to see end.

[@synthetic240]

The Titan looks AMAZING. Battleworn and glowing with power. Honestly, it looks ready to walk off on its own.

[@SimonClark]

[@warhatter]

AAAAHVADAAAAVOKADOOO

[@jamez456]

I’ve just got back into Warhammer after 15 years and the advancement in this Gameworld from Warhammer World in Nottingham’s where I’m from, to all of you guys on KZbin. WOW.

[@TheHobbyLodge]

looks amazing, what an achievement. Congratulations on everything you have built not just this model but the channel and community. Well done! Whats next? :D

[@monroetempleton3907]

can remember distinctly when that first video popped up- it's what first really ignited my interest in 40k and miniature painting; feel oddly emotional seeing you finish it and think back how far I've come in my own life over the last two years

[@Gasfiend]

Absolutely beautiful. Fantastic job from beginning to end. So glad to have been able to follow along with you for the last 2 years. Can't wait to see what you've got planned next!

[@CFTim]

I heard "let me tell you about this video's sponser, in Cockney", and I was gutted by the subsequent lack of accent...

[@johnhanley5546]

There have been many content creators doing X,Y & Z with expensive FW models (notably titans) lately but I must say yours looks the best and has been a most enjoyable journey.

[@drageus9059]

I remember Guy getting me into Warhammer, when he was just painting a Chaos army. And now he has built an entire walking skyscraper of death. Time flies.

[@daverage4729]

Absolutely magnificent job. Fair play to everyone involved with building 'the big fella'. A truly fantastic bit of work, all set to stomp the Emperors enemies into squishy bits. Bravo!!!

[@johng8837]

I remember seeing the first episode come out around or in COVD (had a crash concussion so time is fuzzy from then), its what cemented my entry into the hobby after toying with it years ago as a child. EVen through GW's controversies channels like yours, squidmar, table top time and more my love for the setting and the creative potential was grown. I still cant believe its been nigh 3 years since it started

[@samhumpherys7286]

Wow! What a finish to an amazing project! I can't wait to see the Titan in action! Hats off to Steve for his incredible 3D printing work.

[@The_Modeling_Underdog]

Absolutely astonishing. MVP: Steve burning the midnight oil for the banner rails.

[@WISHARTfilms]

Man, I thought you'd kind of spoiled the video by showing the complete titan at the beginning but watching how insanely effective all those finishing touches were totally proved me wrong. What a journey, mate. I've loved this series.

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

It looks SO GOOD Guy!!! Congratulations on being done this big beautiful beast.

[@ShallowVA]

Those two huge back banners really bring the model to life in a way I haven’t really seen from other Warlords before. Going for the Epic inspiration was a great choice!

[@kaljackal9052]

Found your channel almost a year ago now, and your vids really helped out when I went flying head first into various mini ideas. My main Tyranid army is inspired a load by your sandstone necrons, and diy basing textures. Anyways, it's awesome seeing this titan finished. Y'all did an utterly awesome job on it! I look forward to possibly seeing how it fairs in battle.

[@benkeeling8775]

The Titan videos have been a great watch and it was already looking great... but these last details have made it look so much more fantastic! Amazing stuff!

[@YokaK80]

I can't believe you did this, you're absolutely amazing, would love to see this thing in a game of Titanicus

[@OntarioGuy430]

8:00 it is amazing how small the Warlord looks when it is on the desk and yet in other shots it looks like it's 4 feet tall.

[@Nightwolf0301]

Dude that model is plain awesome! Glad to see it finally finished and in the channels colors as well. Great job and can't wait to see what the rest of the year brings. Happy Hobbying!

[@somewhereelse1235]

I had stopped following the series for a little bit after the 12th video, but I'm glad I found it again just a few days after completion. The final paintjob is gorgeous, with the subtle glow effects (and a few less subtle ones) popping out and instantly catching the eye. Congrats on completing it, and I hope that your other minis look as good as or better than this with half the effort required.

[@Dreadguard]

I would be scared SHITLESS if i was a chaos marine watching the walking banner boy come at me with the fury of God homself. I love this- absolutely LOVE it

[@kelvinjames8045]

After only finding this channel about 6 months ago, I have to say I have absolutely loved sitting down and catching up on every single video made. A fantastic channel. You find yourself a newly converted hobbyist. Thx Guy

[@alvarobarandiaran8848]

Congratulations Guy on getting this project done, it's really been a fun ride watching it come together little by little over these last couple of years. Also, I don't think I'm alone here in saying that i am very much looking foward to the next phase of the start collecting deathmatch tournament, hopefully that's coming back soon too? Maybe once that tournament has a winner...then the final boss emerges....and you have all of the start collecting armies take on the titan in this ridiculous ultra battle to determine the undisputed champion, assuming it would add up to about 6k points a side hopefully lol. Here's to many more titans coming your way! Cheers!

[@flaviusgerhardt9354]

Incredible how good the banners look

[@dternst]

A “thumbs up” doesn’t pay the respect deserved by Midwinter Minis. An awesome job on the Titan and a perfect way to pay tribute and thank your Patreon Patrons.

[@spikewilson6539]

I remember coming to the channel because of the 1st titan video so it's pretty cool to see it finally finished in such an amazing colour scheme, it looks so cool. I love the glow on the eye and pose. makes it look like it's literally insane with rage at the emperor's enemies! Great work!!!

[@ryanwright1250]

You know, I was having a really bad day at work, and I came home, got on my phone, saw the Patreon notification, and my day was instantly made better. Thank you Guy, I love your videos. This model is gorgeous.

[@Cerebrum358]

This whole series has been insane. Thank you!!! Picked up some cool tips on painting, too. Keep it up!

[@Grimangell135]

This was something I was hoping would not fall to the wayside. Ever since I found your channel with your sandstone necron tutorial, I have always wondered what your skill would pull off on this beastie. Given the time and struggle of wanting to pull so much off, I am so glad you had a team to finish this off. This looks astonishingly haunting and I love it. You all deserve the praise. Well done. I think it only fitting that this beautiful, pristinely kept Titan should run a foul of some Big Mek'z eye. TWO ORK ARMYZ TA FAUGHT DA TITAN!!! WAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!

[@pstuart17]

At first when I was seeing the banners all laid out on the table I was skeptical that you were about to cover up most of your model with banners and distract from the amazing paint job, but HOLY CRAP that really put the sheer size of this ABSOLUTE UNIT of a model into perspective. I'm impressed with how well it all turned out. My only criticism is that transporting that to anywhere you decide to play it is going to be a nightmare if you've glued in the top flags. I would not envy you or whomever is holding it in the car ride over. That's two whole years of work and a ton of fragile paper sheets hanging off of it. Hopefully you gave it a nice coating of matte varnish or polyurethane to seal in the paint and provide some durability/rigidity to the banners.

[@MrUrb001]

The finishing touches made it look amazing. Great video series, thank you for your hard work and inspiration for the whole community.

[@jacobbuchan7384]

Amazing work. Congratulations on this mega project! Nice to the see the Patreon supporters represented as well.

[@Olimar73]

Absolute Masterpiece! 2 years is a very long time to spend on one model, even a titan, but evidently it was time well spent!

[@terrorstalker]

Love the videos! Inspired me to print my own warlord (took a LONG time) and your videos helped me immensely with assembling and painting it. I put it against my Imperial Knights and Custodes armies and it absolutely stomped. Ultimately lost but was against a 8500 point army, so not bad, and only 4 custodes infantry survived the explosion! So I can whole heartedly recommend throwing it against Imperial Knights.

[@thechaosman7245]

You are one of the main reasons I got into 40K and began collecting orks, and this is a titanic achievement for this channel.

[@fie8769]

I've been here before the titan, and during the titan. I can't wait to see what comes after the titan hopefully far into the future. Keep up the amazing work!

[@madmanvarietyshow9605]

Ah man two years has flown by. God I still remember subbing to you when I started mini painting in February 2020 for your Blackstone Fortress Speed Painting series, then subbing to the Patreon when you started making it your full time job and sadly stopped subbing due to finances after the Titan was purchased and I did the math to ease to my guilt that you would still be taken care of monetarily lol. Congrats you guys it's been a hell of a journey and I can't wait to see what's coming up in the future!

[@WazzDaZ]

This is sooo over the top epic! One of the most gorgeous titans I have ever seen in my 15+ years of hobbying! 🤘

[@kookieslayer]

This is candy for the soul! Amazing work. It was a pleasure to follow you one your youtube journey and slowly seing that titan get built. Thanks for the entertainment and learning!

[@richardkinkead7823]

Beautiful. Simply not so simple, painstakingly beautiful. It looks like it's even lit up. Never seen such detail before. Best Titan I've seen. Congrats.

[@MagatsuNimura]

Man, I feel like being here for the whole process has been cathartic in a way. Thanks for letting us accompany you in this wild ride. The series was EPIC. And the Titan looks sick with all the banners. Amazing job, you guys

[@XanderNotZander]

What a gorgeous and heartfelt process and build, wow

[@Writh811]

That is AMAZING!!! Hats off to everyone. Hatty with some clutch work all around and Steven with some next level OSL in this video and we can't discount Guy himself with this insane task of hand writing all those names! INCREDIBLE!!

[@HumbugMisfit]

I’ve been following this from the start and it somehow turned out even better than I thought it would. Just amazing!

[@blckwtrpark3352]

Looks amazing. Seeing my name on that is a huge honor. Thanks for all the time and effort.

[@RobTheBlockyFox22]

I came across this channel wen this project first started and I saw every video of this monstrosity from start to finish, and I will say this has been one (if i say "hell" here, would I be purged by the imperium of man?) of a journey, and I will say, this is truly something to behold. From the countless hours of trimming, sanding, washing, assembling, and painting each piece, the end result is something the Emperor himself would be proud to witness, and adding all the supporter names and the work done on the banners, not only help tie everything together, but makes it a bit personal to everybody that helped make this a reality. So, thanks to everybody that worked on this and supported Guy. You all have done an incredible job.

[@colecollins5642]

I happened on your channel looking for some speed painting ideas what seems like an age ago now, it's been an absolute pleasure seeing your channel grow. I'm sure you're inundated with and suggestions on what to tackle next but it's the internet what else are we here for if not giving our opinions. I'd love to see you take on speed painting monthly releases from some of the amazingly talented 3d printing patreons. Especially some of the more eclectic or oddball ones whos release may have 10 or 20 models but only loosely related. You're approach to speed painting is awesome and unique enough to have real value even for people who are more focused on competition painting.

[@ArranDickson]

I subbed about 18 months ago to this channel I think, and I've watched all the titan vids since. Really enjoyed learning about painting with sponges especially, it's not something I've ever tried. Final result looks amazing!

[@Lp-gn5hx]

It is beyond impressive. You do Collegia Titanica proud, and the Omnissiah by extension. I might have started following the project late, but it has truly been something to see develop into this magnificent machine of war.

[@fwnoodle]

only started watching your channel a couple of months ago because im new to the hobby and your videos have both helped and entertained me and its both sad and happy to see a series i caught up on end, and the titan looks absolutely incredible well done.

[@pete9477]

Looks great. Your pen holding style is how i hold my pen as a Leftie to avoid smudging my work. Never seen a Rightie write like that.

[@Azaghal1988]

A fitting end for an amazing journey. It has been a pleasure to watch this project!

[@xenonsean7050]

Man that ending with the music and titan shots put a smile on my face 😊

[@Hydro_74]

Absolutely incredible to see it all finished. I applaud the effort that went into this, truly a heroic undertaking!

[@isaacfransonfilm2139]

I realized watching this. When I was I first looking into the hobby, your channel was the first one i started constantly watching. I went back and checked some dates. You've been working on this titan longer than I have been playing warhammer as a whole. I guess that's not TOO impressive but it was shocking for me to realize!

[@Evaunit98]

It amazes me the how fantastic this thing looks, it dwarfs probably every plastic model period and yours is something special, the fantastic paint job and the cool edition of the banners, I’ve followed this beast for 2 years and enjoyed watching it take shape

[@armaturesmusic]

I never used to play but I loved painting back in the 90s, love your channel, well done on finishing the biggest mini you can get, it looks wicked!

[@jurriaandejongh8677]

Helll yeah mate! It's gorgeous.. I love the textures the most on the panels. That work was a great inspiration for my Chaos Knight. Congrats!

[@vthesnail]

Damn, just like in lore, witnessing it is just kind of stunning. Obviously, here it's because it took such a long time and in-universe because, well, it's a walking skyscraper robot with guns, but the sentiment is similar. The satisfaction I feel from seeing it done is probably only a fraction of that of actually completing the damn thing, so bravo to everyone who contributed to it.

[@Elurahu]

Amazing work! Been a pleasure following along. Best of luck to you Guy!

[@romeo.3472]

Congrats on finishing this epic project. Worth every penny.

[@godzillarolls1613]

What an Incredible piece! Loved watching its creation from start to finish.

[@sumpworks5122]

Absolutely amazing result. Its been so interesting and informative to watch all of this series. Good work MWM team!

[@RecruitofApollo]

What a journey this has been. Two years of progress on the Midwinter Titan, the end of an era. Not gonna lie, it's kind of made me want to try this myself. Maybe one day when the money is right.

[@dominiqgaming2065]

The glowy bits look like they actually have light emitting from them that is amazing

[@turtletaub-f9t]

Flags, banners and purity seals really gave it the awesome final touch. Well done!

[@HotFreshTofu]

Great job on those banners. Honestly, that is my favourite part of the model. Your friend Steve's OSL effects are also stunning.

[@viciousyeen6644]

What a glorious model! Be proud of your team and friends, and of yourself!

[@0ghma_]

I genuinely teared up when you showed the finished product. I got into the hobby shortly after you started this series, and have grown as a painter as I watched this massive project unfold. Congrats on all your success. You deserve it as much as anyone else in the genre. Cheers from the States!

[@Laz2074]

So glad to see the project through, fantastic work!

[@thekaird377]

OMG that looks incredible! You and Steve definitely need to do a tutorial video on how to achieve the glow effects on those engine parts & lenses!
