I will say there's 1 main issue about painting the model purple. when you started painting on the purple for some reason that giant Gargant started to get smaller for some reason, I don't know why... Also as big and giant as it is when you did the showcase of the gargant around the 27:00 mark I couldn't see or find it......... it was like I was looking at a blank screen. Almost like your Gargant has *"disappeared"* into thin air...... Hahahaha!

Only Guy from Midwinter Minis could procrastinate building a Titan by building another, _separate_ Titan.

[@anotherzingbo]

You know, I was a little bit dubious until you got the gargant pained, but once the paint was on that did the trick and brought all the disparate parts together into one amazing orky whole! I can't pretend that I have much of a feeling for how superheavy stuff like this is going to play out in 40k, but between it having more wounds than a Warlord titan, shields that effectively grant it extra wounds every turn, its grot riggers and its Ramshackle rule I think it's going to be incredibly tanky despite it having a toughness of "only" 8. Hopefully its orky ballistic skill means it won't be stripping wounds off its opponents at a pace that exceeds the ability of a Warlord to do the same to it, or it could be a bit of an unfair fight! Finally, congratulations on sorting out a dedicated studio. Now, when is the first Midwinter Minis con going to happen? :-)

[@panhandle99]

This is so fun! And that metallic dry brush really pulled it together. One suggestion I have is to get your hands on old bicycle chain to use on the Mega Choppa arm. It currently just sticks out oddly. And a chain and gear system would add visual depth and working realism.

[@ethanr9080]

Guy this was great! I've been an ork player for over 10 years now and used to love making scrap vehicles out of cardboard. In more recent years I'm always so critical of my home made models because cardboard and hot glue never look as good as the plasticard, resin or greenstuff you see online. Thank you for reminding me that models are more than their materials - it's the thoughts, ideas and creativity behind making them that count! Keep up the great work and as a wise warboss once told me, WWWWAAAAAGGHH!!!

[@hiveemperor54]

This was one of the reasons I got into Orks in the first place (I was at that 4tk Tournament for Macular Society, you gave me the award for best painted army I recall, one of the best days of my time in warhammer). The sheer absurdity of the things they’ve conjured up and the awesome models they’ve produced, coupled with stuff like THIS beauty, is what I love about Orks.

[@euansmith3699]

"... We glued the vacuum pipes to the birdcage perch..." That's some quality bitz-spotting. The checker pattern is great, too. Next up, I expect to see potato prints for Orky Ikonz. I like the out of ammo rule you came up with for the Gatling gun. Twin Flakkatta is a great Orky name. I think that the rules should include the point that, if it doesn't explode, the Gargant remains on the table and is treated as line-of-sight, and movement blocking. The giggling baby is adorable; as is the Gargant. I found this a lot more fun than the FW Titan.

There should be a mechanic that whenever an org gigant (any big machine) kills another gigant it can heal because of scrap from the battlefield. To balance it maybe roll to risk org units collecting the scrap. Maybe also slight risk to lose health because of bad repairs. Point is, it would just be cool and fitting, not a useful mechanic.

[@angrinatorgaming3183]

I think a great addition that could be added to the rules of the Ork titan is what I would call faulty wires or wrong button or whatever you decide. Basically because it is a junk titan something may go wrong. The basics of the rule is whenever you start your turn with the titan you role a D6. If it roles on a one or maybe a two something will go wrong. Then you role a D3 to determine what phase the problem will occur. When you enter the turn with the fault you have a list of problems that can happen. You role either a D3 or a D6 depending on how many faults could happen. In movement it could be the titan going backwards, not moving at all or suddenly speeding up in the direction you choose making it move further than you intended. In shooting the weapons may not fire, shoot in a random direction hitting everything in that path (use a bottle or whatever), catch on fire damaging the titan and not being able to fire this turn or it shoots more with an accuracy decrease. Same kind of things go for melee. I hope you consider this idea with a few tweaks to it may be a interesting option for the titan.
