The TITAN’S BACK! And the Giant Cathedral Fortress upon it | IMPERATOR TITAN

In this video I work on the cathedral fortress on the back of my giant 7 foot imperator titan build! The Emperor Class titan is the largest titan class in the Warhammer 40k universe, and building one at warhammer scale is a truly massive feat. Join me for this installment.

Taking 'My body is a temple' literally

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

Aight im pinning that 😂

8:00 = Eric, where are some good places in the GTA to buy different types/thicknesses of *_PLASTI-CARD?_* ( * Great Video BTW!!! [};-)=*~

[@wolf2403]

Not only that, but deciding to arm the temple as well

Imperator Titan talking to an Ork Gargant: IT: I treat my body like a temple. You treat yours like a Tent! *proceeds to rain hellfire onto the Gargant in question*

[@wittlegoblin]

That cathedral is already beautiful, I can't even imagine it all painted up. Looking forward to seeing the next update!

[@velentr]

Congratz on your first game release! Hope to see some Night Thirst games popping up in the algorithm in the near future.

[@wittlegoblin]

Thank you so much!!@@velentr

[@velentr]

@@wittlegoblin Thank _you_ for introducing me to Damnation.

[@kuddlykraken2157]

Well, it could do with a spot of paint, right now it looks like "Barbie's Dream Imperator"

[@zombiemanar7823]

The crockets look absolutely gorgeous. All it needs now is some gargoyles and grotesques then it’s a fully fledged gothic masterpiece.

[@Nanowith1]

Could have gargoyles that are ugly depictions of different kinds of xenos?

[@averageeughenjoyer6429]

maybe the turrets mounted atop it could have that motive

[@zombiemanar7823]

@@Nanowith1 I remember seeing a gargoyle that looks like a xenomorph on paisley abbey in Scotland. Maybe something like that?

[@Immopimmo]

Yes, and painted gothic windows with backlighting ❤

[@Arimmus]

@@Nanowith1 I would say Chaos Legions, or Demons. Nothings says F you like having Fulgrim getting used as a Water spout

[@jeremyleach117]

I like the idea of the big gun sticking out of the dome. It could in theory, spin around then and be a neat idea.

[@RonBlankenbeckler]

I totally agree, the idea of a telescope-esque dome cannon thing is so over the top which fits in perfectly with the project in general

[@totalNERD-eo7wx]

Like the Anti- Orbital Laser Silos from the Siege of Vraks!

[@Jazzious88]

If it isn't to late, consider the tower tops, where the cannon protrude, be able to swivel. it would allow the cannon a larger field of fire, and give the titian a little less rigidity, I think

[@aregulargamer9908]

@@totalNERD-eo7wx 100% It should be an anti-orbit defence laser, large enough to tear cruisers out of orbit if they dare get close enough.

[@totalNERD-eo7wx]

@@aregulargamer9908 Oh no, this would have to be a scaled down version, those cruisers are significantly bigger than an Imperator. In fact, even a destroyer is much bigger. And the power required to destroy those vessels would not fit within any titan...

[@samwalter940]

I love the dome-gun idea. It seems far more practical since it could conceivably on a swivel and it lets you hughlight the fact that this is supposed to be a cathedral with a proper entryway. Imagine A bunch of Marines and Eldar fighting over the entrance.

[@battlekid6177]

yes and at that range it be all MELEE

[@hannes3040]

9:30 out the dome is definitely the right idea , and also then you can make that cannon absolutely MASSIVE.

[@NicPTheMeme]

40K SCALE QUAKE CANNON WHEN!??!?!?!?

[@IronTuziGamingLLC]

One thing I really like about this project is how at the end of the the day this will be Eric's personal Imperator Titan. I've always liked the idea that although the internal workings were build using STC components, the exterior design of an Emperor Class Titan was left up to the individual Fabricator-general. This was their chance to leave their personal mark on the Imperium of Man, much the same way kings and popes would attempt to immortalize themselves in real life cathedrals and other works of art.

[@malbowzer3006]

YES THE RETURN OF THE GREATEST WARHAMMER PROJECT IN HISTORY

[@splatter_proto]

those crockets rule, this is coming along spectacularly!

[@emperorsized7925]

This inspiring!! If GW had a better marketing dept they would be sponsoring this guy and putting the finished Titans in game shops as exclusive gaming tables.

[@ventre-saint-gris]

The "this piece that I found in my trash actually fits perfectly onto the rest of the structure" part is the most satisfying thing I have seen this week. I replayed it (twice).

[@tvillarr]

Eagle head crockets look amazing. This thing is wild!

[@ironxYT]

I love learning new architectural terminology from watching your channel

[@TheDreadGazeebo]

For the gothic arches at 9:00, I think having them open would really add depth to the whole piece. You should cut another alcove directly above each of them and put statues up there!

[@modhail6908]

Since you asked for feedback in your video, here's my thoughts: The arches in the walls from the central tower to the corner towers: leave those open, so you have more routes to take when gaming on it. Maybe put the statues on plints over them? The main cathedral gun, I'd have stick out of a rosary window, above the door. Not the dome roof, as I feel that is to small to house a giant gun, plus the gun is fixed forward firing anyway... Anyhow, amazing project, and looking forward to the next episode.

[@vonskii]

I agree to keep those openings as doors instead of statue areas... maybe you could mount gargoyles above the doors though? I think a dome roof gun could work, but either option is fine

[@wraithdino1217]

have you played the rogue trader game? in the entrance to your throne room there is passageway that has statues to the emperor on either side of it and I think having the statues be the walls for the passageway with a few candles lighting it would be really cool looking

[@Mikester88]

​@@vonskii Love the gargoyles over the doorways! Would look sick!

[@Mikester88]

I mostly agree, but i can still see a short fat "mortar" gun from an opening in the dome. But why choose? Get both, in the grimdarkness there can never be enough guns!

[@TheDreadGazeebo]

Agreed! Those should be alternate routes for sure, but those blank walls above them are begging for some statues!

[@terrainaholic]

This is STUPID COOL!!!!!! God that brings back the memories of weekend builds with Viv from Rubbish in rubbish out!!!!!!

[@piotrcthlu]

As a fellow grown up man and a fellow parent, I just have to say its insane you find time and motivation to take on such massive projects. Its smart, giving up to tiredness is worst you can do. Wish you all the best, the titan and the cathedral are obviously incredible

[@epickingedward7378]

You need to find someone that has the (x-plus I think it is) godzilla thats in a similar scale so you can have them fight XD

[@FredDino]

That scales to about 7'10", depending on which movie

[@HappyJackington]

@MidwinterMinis eat your heart out. This thing is so impressive. Thanks for keeping us posted, and the crockets look awesome. I also think the planetarium cannon sounds like a great idea too.

[@smockzy1994]

I love the eagle crockets, such a subtle detail that gives it so much character

[@ModernSynthesist]

YES! BACK! GLAD TO HEAR IT!!! I feel stupidly lucky to have stood in the same room as this thing. I can't adequately describe how much PRESENCE it has

[@gudnisnaer8171]

adding lights behind those windows and maybe some sort of anti aircraft guns in the little corner turrets would be nice

[@_wild_bill__]

This is one of, if not the coolest Warhammer thing I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to see the progression on this project.

[@davidmckinney8423]

I’ve been following this project so long that it gave me the final push to finally buy my first CP months ago. These videos always get me stoked.

[@KaleNordyke]

The back is literally a fortress church that has just been placed on top of him, and it is INSANE! Keep up the great work please.

[@sam-6008]

The sheer complexity of this project makes my brain hurt. Bravo sir! It's really coming together.

[@AdoringAdmirer]

Eric, your channel is hands down my favorite youtube hobby channel. So wholesome.

[@gingerlyza]

I like the stairs and I like the idea of having the cannon come out of the dome.

[@magicwizardlizard3640]

Holy shit we are back at it. Loving this project

[@alexsikor1318]

Yes dude, yesssssss. Your emperor titan videos are some of the few I watch entirely. Please keep that creative train going, this is going to be a masterpiece

[@maijin007]

Fkn AWESOME man. If you made in one inch taller it would have to be in a different room. Glad to see you are taking your time and letting the art happen instead of forcing a quick halfass project. That cathedral is awe inspiring already, cannot wait to see some more progress.

[@Storehouse-805]

Love your videos! Im glad you posted after so long!

[@bill-kilby]

terrain building with extra steps, great video.

[@jeffhreid]

Planetarium dome cannon sounds amazing

[@michaelsimmons9296]

All I could say was "aw wow!" When I saw that 1st 3d printed window go into the foam!! Loving this

[@THEmrPidge]

This is turning out so well! I think having the top gun coming out of the dome would be the best option!

[@scottymaxwell8205]

the elevation of your builds just get more crazy and beautiful. keep up the great work bro!

[@cooldude1565]

if decision paralysis is too intense, perhaps try building another part of the titan in the meantime? It could help reset your focus and help you see your true creative vision. Just a tip! Love this series so much, keep going. For the Emperor!

[@TheChillieboo]

Something about the structure and pacing of this video makes it my favourite in the series so far

[@davidsonfamily2930]

Really looking amazing. Enjoying watching this whole process. And honestly, nothing makes me want a 3D printer more than seeing those window frames ...

[@johnbray7887]

The roof looks amazing! Those Crockets really do stick out as uniquely 40k while maintaining the Gothic style you wanted! This whole project has absolutely blown me away and I am so excited to see it continue to evolve and develop! Praise the Emperor and Praise the Omnissiah!

[@wassupiamhello]

I love this series, it's bringing some of my favourite parts of lore to life.

That cathedral is incredible, Eric. Wow...

[@ConjuredCraft]

THE TITANS BACK BABY

[@RealmoftheLicheKing]

The dome gun and the statues in the niches both sound like great ideas to me. Having the front door accessible by stairs will make the piece make more sense when used as a standalone terrain building.

[@erikbraun473]

This is still the coolest series ever. Its mind blowing how youve done all this with foam, cardboard, and toys

[@edpistemic]

Eric! This is masterful work. Every little section was better than the last. I'm so impressed.

[@cruddddddddddddddd]

That looks awesome. The cathedral is coming along really nice. That head is killing it, too.

[@Kaas_]

This project is giving me Marble Machine X vibes in scope. Looks great so far!

[@edwards5013]

Having the imperial eagle for the Crockett on the top of the towers is just an amazing detail. Well done. Keep up the great work

[@Ushatkaa]

I love how the cathedral is looking. It feels a bit like a mix between gothic cathedral and like a brutalist military structure so far. can't wait to see more!

[@fin1493]

Such an awesome project. I love how you've found highly individual and unique solutions to problems you've faced making it much more like a very personal project rather than a tutorial.

[@edwindaughenbaugh2939]

This thing is literally so insanely cool

[@heiker1351]

Bigger, better, brighter! Bigger is not nessessary. I love your builds, although I prefer another style. But the way you build is incredible, I really love it. I have problems with just do things without overplanning and overthinking. And you do that so beautiful. I learned a lot from your way of building. Thank you. I'm not in the future, I love dnd for this handmade style that's built in the timeframe. But you do things in a way that is timeless. I really like watching your creations. So beautiful, and so creative. And somehow easy to make, as a topping. Many people feel overwhelmed because they think they can't do this. But you show it's just technique, just like Black Magic Craft. This is a very valuable lesson. You don't need lots of money to be creative. I still have just the 20 colors from the starter set. I learned how to mix colors when I was about 6. My circle likes my minis. We did a painting session once. I did two minis when some where not even ready. All the ready made colors are not faster. It's just skill. I started painting when I was able to hold a crayon. 😂 It might lie dormant when your life leads you astray. But it comes back very fast and you will discover that your life experience improved your painting skills too. Even if you did nothing for 20 years. Thank you.

[@EddieSpaghetti555]

Legit one of my favorite projects on youtube. Always look forward to these updates. Great work.

People: Are you building a terrainpiece or a huge miniature? Eric: Yes

[@hyperbene7711]

I am so stoked with this video! Glad that you are back on the project and love what you have done! The small foam chips to mark the towers instead of fixing the towers into place is genius.

[@johnlander2219]

Yey! My fav tube series is back!!

[@ZorakiSassan]

These roofs are really really great, the crochets make the whole thing so detailed

[@jedispncr]

oh! It's coming together so nicely!!!! I'm so stoked for this project. I wonder how much paint this baby is going to take...

[@dendronkenfoetus]

honestly: I forgot this series was still a thing. Very happy to be reminded ^^

[@MonkeyTechPriest]

I know scratch building comes first but I'd really like to see some first born marines as a golden statues at the very top of one of the cathedral roofs. Love the series and all your terrain builds!

As a former owner of the original Epic Imperator Titan can't wait to see this finished and used for games. Awesome work 👍🏻

[@samuelsanders5755]

I’m definitely a big fan of the gun sticking out of the dome. It sounds amazing

[@Schizopantheist]

The analysis of the problems of intuitive building (and analysis paralysis particularly) is truly useful. Sometimes it's just better to have definite plans. Something I have certainly been finding building Ork vehicles.

[@MannixKaijumine]

Finally, we’re back on track

[@Rcslion13]

I feel so much joy whenever you paste an update on this project! Amazing work so far!

[@markhohenbrink5230]

Can't wait to see the gunification of the Titan. I imagine it's going to be covered in Heavy bolters and the like alongside the actual big guns.

[@dr.stronk9857]

This is looking incredible! Also the idea of the canon being on the dome is a great idea. You could say it’s to prevent orbital attacks by shooting ships out of the sky

[@tikhonoldwood3800]

This is child dream coming in fruition! Just sheer size of that thing. Man that is just amazing!

[@thelastnerdjosh]

Been watching your progress with this project, and just when I thought it was already impressive with the legs, body and head at this scale-woah! You’ve blown me away 😱 Can’t wait for the next episode!

[@perrygrosshans8537]

Damn!!!! Really, nothing else to see. Stellar work as usual. I love seeing your creations magically appear as you build them.

[@cspo]

this thing is (pun intended) EPIC!! maybe having two versions of the facade, one with a cannon when the titan is fully assembled, and one with the entrance for play on a table could be a good way to embrace both of your ideas.

[@jfisherm8]

I want so badly for this to be entered into golden demon when it’s finished

[@reptilesarecool9763]

This looks SO sick. I was obsessed with the scale of these things since final liberation in the 90s

[@madnessbydesign1415]

I've said it before, I'll say it again - You're my kind of crazy. The crockets are a brilliant touch, and look very much at home there. This project is really starting to shape up nicely. Now, you need to figure out how to mass produce them... :)

[@nickschuh1080]

This is the best thing you ever built pal

[@Vo1t]

This and the Space Hulk are my favorite projects on your channel. The detailing on the cathedral is really starting to give a glimpse of the scale and depth that is going into this massive project. Very inspiring mate. We are looking forward to updates :)
