Why is everyone building a Titan right now?

[@RiskyRollers]

We're all keen for Arc40k, looking forward to seeing this epic board in person and working with the Legends and Lore folks on the livestream!

[@HandsWithLegs]

I think it would be cool to have the big warlord titan claw jutting out of the ground, reaching towards the sky like the classic movie trope of the hand reaching out as somebody sinks into lava

[@TabletopTime]

Yes I want to do this 100%!!! What an amazing place for an objective marker too

[@fomod_]

Make sure to use the warlord power claw to still have it tower over most miniatures

[@JonnyT993]

This but coming out of a lava flow or lava pool, maybe extend that to other parts of a titan that has been destroyed and has melted into the lava

[@griffin7279]

What if the fist was doing the terminator thumbs up as it sinks into the lava.

[@Pfeifenhuber]

As the warlord titan exploded, one of its parts could have smashed into on of the smaller titans. It would be cool to have one smaller titan penetrated by one of the parts of the warlord titan, like a warhound titan cut in halve by one of the armor panels

[@TabletopTime]

Ooh I love the idea of shards of debris spearing the battlefield

[@rexosaur9535]

Wait couldn't that be what pinned that one titan to a wall, a shard of tempestus?

@@TabletopTime you could have the warlord clutch the head of a reaver in its fist like if it was dealt a death blow by the reaver in the rock(such as a uppercut gutshot thing because of the height difference) and ripped its head out as it died

[@nexking4414]

I think it'd be cool if the standing reaver titan was ankle-deep in the sand to sell how long it's just been stood there, displaying how the sands of mars have moved without it.

[@TabletopTime]

Absolutely love this! Will be burying these beasts, but maybe the Warlord has been somewhat excavated and venerated

would be cool for the reiver built into the hill side to have some scaffolding like the mechanicum tried to scavenge from it and abandoned the project/ would be a way for players to get up and down the terrain feature

[@davidbycroft]

I get the feeling that the arms or at least the weapons on the arms could have been salvaged so maybe they took the good bits and left the superstructure/frame behind with all the connections and wiring dangling down.

[@raffehouston8940]

Yeah! Or maybe nomads had been living in and around it, tents, rope bridges, ladders, caves in the hill etc

[@fomod_]

It might get a bit cluttered with this but sprinkling some parts of imperial knights and/or armigers around the board could be cool

[@TabletopTime]

And so fitting to the lore!

[@JainZar1]

The warehouse yards of Magma City, the last stand out Legio Tempestus and House Taranis against Legio Mortis, truly epic.

[@loganhillman3926]

Could be perfect scatter terrain!

[@bloodgulchpatrick]

I'd suggest leaving a bit more of the central body of Deus Tempestus, just the lower part, maybe made of some sheet styrene - fluted and blown outwards, suggesting that it once was a core of it's body which reactor's explosion has obliterated everything above and bent all the panels on the lower hull.

[@beesforbreakfast]

Pools or little rivers of lava/molten slag could (a) look really cool and (b) offer an opportunity for some of that madly overambitious translucent resin/LED action you lot love so much

[@TabletopTime]

And it suits - The battle took place near the MAGMA CITY

[@beesforbreakfast]

My thoughts exactly! Plus, it occurs to me that it could generate some interesting movement choke points

[@thomaschandler1973]

You should set the torso up as if it lost its legs and dragged itself back into the fight before succumbing to the damage. I love the idea of a giant god-machine using its guns to try to crawl. "Tis but a flesh wound"

You've already mentioned something similar on the video, but you can consider placing some old scaffolding around some titans to improve LOS blocking and imply some ancient salvage operations.

[@dhanu_4539]

The craters could be covered in transparent resin to look like the sand had been turned into glass

[@Zable24]

i think all the ideas are great but you definitely dont want TOO many hero-posed models, i feel like the majority of the titans should be on their side, acting as walls/dividing terrain. as for the warlord, it should definitely be spread out throughout the whole board, perhaps having parts sunk into the ground, where they have become the basis of cliffs, hills and mountains! it should essentially dictate the topography of the overall layout

[@TabletopTime]

I like the idea of using the top half of the warlord as one of the Legio Mortis Warlords that the Deus Tempestus felled, on the opposite side of the battlefield, but heavily built into the ground and terrain

[@Hukahey]

Wow another event so cool. Well done TTT team.

[@TabletopTime]

Thankyou for your support as always!

[@dsiegel13]

For the cored out Reaver to make it look like an actual blast wound, maybe use a propane torch to scorch the edges and melt the resin a bit (please wear a respirator and do outside for safety sake).

[@ovan2190]

This is awesome! Congrats on being asked to make this board!!

[@jinnqmarak1la]

I am so excited to see where this goes! The idea of a cored Titan is so cool and I think adding gantries to get to the top/ into the melted hole would be awesome for gameplay and for rule of cool!

[@Philbrush]

A tip for Murray. Get one of those thick sheets of foam to act as a sacrificial backing board when using the circular saw, that way you get the support, but you can cut into it without hurting the saw, or the table!

[@cravin4acupofcoffee]

All these Titan builders should team up

[@drfishynooooo881]

A titan sprawled through out the table, mid salvage. Various walkways/planks allowing access over the various pieces, with the internals of the titan accessible for indoor combat

[@commanderdumb7167]

You should try making it so there is a falling over titan with some sort of melee weapon in its chest and not too far away is another titan missing a arm where the melee weapon was

[@sentane8031]

This video is the best one so far, they don't feel off every time they read another line from their scripts

[@RageZero32]

For the cored titan, to create the hole, you can obviously do the first hole with a large drill bit or a hole saw drill bit, bit to make it look melted, you 'may' be able to use a soldering iron to actually melt the edges of the hole and internals to smooth it all out. and create melted resin bits (and likely burns)

[@AchanCham_]

Congrats on this opportunity! I look forward to watching the progress of this board!

[@Mistheart101]

9:35 Winter Assault and Dark Crusade both had setpieces featuring fallen Titans! Winter Assault let you fire the weapons on a cooldown in the final mission after getting control of them, if I'm remembering right, and the Titan's name was Dominatus. But it was Dark Crusade that had the stray Titan arm (from the Titan Aquila Ignis) going off on its own, when you're storming the Imperial Guard's stronghold. God those expansions are good.

[@C4bx732]

One suggestion I would add would be some of destroyed knights also included in the debris field. Additionally, for a main objective piece, you could try adding the main gate doors of the Magma city (the only parts that survived the city's destruction during the battle)

[@olly123451]

I’m imagining some hermit who’s set up a little living space in the remains of one of the titans, using an armour plate, joints and a few cables to make themselves a little sheltered area, who’s then rudely interrupted by the clash of the forces fighting over the titans.

[@matthiasbinz770]

wow, cant believe someone is making a titan graveyard! (i loved the book "mechanicum") cant wait to see how you will tackle adding 10,000 years of constant battering from Martian storms to this build. quick suggestion, mabie make some of the titan parts partially reclaimed (especially the void shield generators and the parts in the head) since, of course, the mecanicus wants this rare and precious technology back. also: mabie some cooled lava puddles or giant shell impacts from the emperator to make the -2 to movement craters (sorry, this was written right before the final explanation)

[@zachdaigle3420]

I'm excited to see Jenn's ideas! She has a cool touch on details!

[@chair448]

LEDs would be awesome! Especially with the gun burried in the sand. Making it flash or something similar as if its firing again like in DOW would be super cool. Lights in the candles of the shrine would add a lot of atmosphere as well

[@ZakuInATopHat]

Best part about wrecks on tables? Any “scrap” cut off bonus parts can be set into, & under, the dirt. Eluding to other things buried under the dirt & sand.

[@TabletopTime]

YES! We totally want the board to be absolutely littered with ancient titan debris, but balanced to be a neat playable surface for the most part. The entire board should feel like an eerie graveyard

[@23Gaunt]

I have two Ideas: 1: Have the claw of a warlord titan holding the crushed head of a enemy titan to make it look like the warlord ripped it right off from an unlucky opponent( add some tubes and pipes to make it look like a spine is still attached). 2: Turn some of the titans head and bodies into playable areas so players can place figures in for cover and to gain better line of sight.

[@vyren2030]

The craters from the Titan explosion and when the 6-barreled laser went off should be like molten glass, the heat has turned the sand into glass, which also helps explain why there wasn't that much sand accumulated there.

[@alek.e202]

This way to spend thousands of dollars is so insane that it deserves respect) Good luck with this huge project guys

[@jamesmatthews5903]

hell yeah, mechanicum is my favourite warhammer book, cant wait to see this come together

[@eoin4529]

Definitely put a lot of thought into the detail of any significant titan battle damage, whether its the metal turning to liquid from an energy weapon, metal being torn away by projectile weapons, and a Hull being fragmented by an explosion that came from within. Play out the scenario as if the titans were starting the fight, which titan killed what with what weapons, how, where, the type of blast etc. Titans aren't easy to kill, so whatever that did take them down, needs to be something significant

[@erns_t]

For the reaver with the hole in it, maybe have the missile pod and upper struts sinking into the opening? The loss of structural integrity would cause the uppermost support fairings/beams to buckle or collapse under the weight of the pod, since they're not meant to hold the whole thing up on their own

[@mcboon3052]

It would be so nice to have the head of the warlord titan on the mountain where the reaver titan is buried, but halfway sliced open.

[@Voirreydirector]

Lovely! I am so proud of you kids!

[@d4rk1n9_]

Next to a small cliff, a tiny, smooth obsidian lake is shielded from the sand. In the middle of the lake a single remnent of a once great titan, a single hand doing a thumbs up. A reminder to a brave pilot, that even at death door, was trying to encougage his compenion. In another place an archeological dig might have found a broken, now half buried titan weapon.

[@dakotahoker1922]

The power claw giving the Terminator thumbs up would a fun Easter egg.

[@Hartmansgrad]

If you're having titan bits on a table it makes sense to have parts that are interactable with minis...so partially submerged armour plates that can act as cover or huge plates with laser holes big enough for minis to walk through

[@5tealth23]

I think having one of the titans amidst the ruins of some giant building, like it falling over destroyed this structure utterly.

[@tappajavittu]

Now this is crazy project and I support it!

[@ArthurB2023]

If I lived in Australia I would definitely come to this event..... But I live in the UK soooo..... Love watching these kind of build videos, as for ideas, I don't know if orbital drop weapons exist in 40k but I imagine a massive and deep crater with the remnants of a massive pillar in the middle with the blown up remains of a titan scattered around it (the pillar being the remains of the orbital kinetic energy weapons)

[@Nigelius]

Board sounds cool (and a major flex), good luck with it and I can’t wait to see more videos.

[@fredmyers503]

Mars and lava. . I think it is time for some resin dyed red as a lava river!! Also an attempt by the Mechanicist to build a bio dome out of Titanparts would be cool, like a snow globe type thing in the middle with vegetation and green in it.

[@peterwilliamson4754]

Making a Titan head building with multiple entries/exits would be fun for game play, and could be the heavily destroyed head of a god machine

[@SirKaptainSparkles]

Well now I DEFINITELY have to get tickets to arc40k

[@RuthlessMojo]

Squidmar is doing a diorama with warlord titans at the moment. Very fitting you’ll both be at at Arc together.

[@rj6100]

You could use some scraps of the Titans as tactical high points, like a part of the shell the wind hs coverd with sand from one side so troops can climbit or take cover behind it. Another idea is that you could make remnants of a little camp like if someone got lost or of a lone survivor who fitted a camp out of some scrap like wit a part of shoulder armor as a roof and a missile casing as an improvised pot over a fire place in the hope to survive the night.

[@Hypername3000]

This is gonna be a great month!

[@patrickbateman69420]

Absolutely LOVE the sound of this project! I'm thinking with all the large titan models, it might be a good idea to have some smaller models to give a better indication of scale and even more of a graveyard feel, such as a couple of Knights and some Armigers. I think that'd really add to the depth. Also, I've checked, Knights do very much fit into the Schism of Mars - House Taranis fought for the loyalist side!

[@Cra5hc0n]

I would love to see paintings around the trim of the board. On the long sides in the middle the Sigil of Legio Tempestus and on the other Side Legio Mortis, with fitting Ornaments or even scenes of the war on Mars. And on the short sides Arc40ks Logo, your Logo, maybe Sponsors or something else related to the Tournament.

[@maximer4984]

I can’t imagine how cool it will look if you play with titans on this board

[@bio-boosted]

That board is going to be so cool! Maybe have one of the titans looks it is/has been salvaged with some mechanicum inside them?

[@the_westonyoung]

[@Spark_Chaser]

Not going to lie, I'm loving the idea of taking one of these expensive models and burning a hole through it to make it a terrain piece.

[@elxr9434]

I'd say cut a reaver in half vertically from the side so you can have "two" and have one side just barely buried so you can kinda see the detail on like the chest and whatnot and use the otherside facedown in the dirt

[@TheHarty1]

Can't wait to see the finished project

[@grimbostink7607]

A teeny tiny shrine at the foot of the warlord would be so cool. Really sell the scale of the machines

[@george3136]

You guys should add a bunch of 40k nights as well as having a scaffolding around some of the titans like the mechanicus have built around them.

[@WBenIB]

As a follow-up project, it would be good to see what you could do with the leftover resin gates. They're a pretty good shape for concrete barricades, for instance. Whatever the project, it would be nice to see that much resin turned into something cool rather than being discarded as waste.

[@dakinlowe36]

I'd like to see a stomped warhound under one the warlords feet.

[@TabletopTime]

[@ima1hpwounder580]

I know that I will never get to see this, but one thing I think that would be cool is having small little joke hidden throughout the board, like in the cockpit or in hidden areas

[@craigbox6918]

My main thought is how the techpriests get to the shrine. Like is there an underground tunnel/bunker that they can come up from, do they fly in and have like a landing pad or do they drive there and have like a dirt road leading to the rim of the crater the shrine is in. Also depending on how close that crater is to the gorge the laser is melting maybe some molten rock has slid down into the crater creating a small pool of magma around the titan's feet.

[@JainZar1]

If you don't need to make the table GW compliant. I recommend you take a look at Grimdark Terrain to incorporate some Olympus Mons parts at 350% scale. Those make great pieces to incorporate the outskirts of Magma City into the terrain. It would only be fitting to have at least part of the Magma City on the board as it was the last stand of Legio Tempestus on Mars.

[@marktrevett8438]

On the protective edges instead of it being plain maybe add mechanicum script as being the top table it will add a great look to it.

[@joemacleod-iredale2888]

Getting vibes of the Statue of Liberty from Lego Movie 2, plenty of inspiration there.

[@StahortheDark]

Idea to mine: Void shield generator that still operational. Given that titans have segmented coverage, in onion shape, it can be place on table as clear plastic wall in heater shield shape.

[@TheMalevolentSpoon]

For the cored-out Reiver, might try and reach out to Maverick Paints. He's done smaller-scale versions of that effect for Melta gun damage pieces, so maybe you can pick his brain on how he does it and see if it's applicable for your needs.

[@leafybreezestudios1025]

So pumped, I'm both going to Arc40k and am a regular on the weekends at House of War. Just a genuinely great bunch of people all round. Can't wait!

[@Rhaenday]

If its Mars there's gotta be big pipes somewhere I reckon, maybe vary up the terrain some with metal, maybe large mostly buried vents/turbines in the ground of some sort?

[@nightshadegaming1735]

Did someone say Rock and Stone???? ROCK AND STONE!!!!!

[@muskeldundret]

You should really get a ultrasonic cleaner. You could just chuck all small pieces in there and go at the big ones with scrubbing. I think you'd save alot of time. I've used it for work to clean up resin pieces for medical use, so it should be good for hobby purposes.

[@rustedbeetle]

Instead of having the Warlord Titan power body just standing there, pose it in the superhero landing position on one knee and having one disconnected arm standing up like a tower next to the legs. That still gives you the upper torso, the head and one arm to use elsewhere. The freestanding arm can have banners and relics adorning the nooks while the lower body's knee could have crushed part of a Reaver Titan underneath it as that battle ended in mutual destruction.

[@G.M.G.P.]

I'm just blown away that you guys and Squidmar are doing massive builds right now with similar concepts. I dream of being at your level, while I currently custom build my own Drukhari Kabal and figure out how to paint it with my own self taught skill... I feel like such a newb when I see what you accomplish.

[@LegendsLore]

That table is going to be incredible guys!! Looking forward to seeing it in person 😊

[@kylechirico3294]

Maybe have a reaver unsuccessfully trying to pull itself out of a pool of lava. Like the top half covered in sand and rust and the bottom still in the pool getting melted. That could be cool.

[@GalianMode]

Scaffolds and gang planks around one or two of the Titans would make for great verticality in play.

[@JohnJenkins81]

One idea, the cored reaver should be in line with the fallen Gatling Lazer so you have mutual engine kills frozen in time.

[@crimsonchapperling]

It would be really cool to see the power claw imbedded into another titan, or having that hand holding ripped off titan limbs

[@leaguesmanoframsgate]

Something I think would be cool is an addition to the shrine to the Deus Tempestus: maybe one of the burnt-out apocalypse launchers could be used as a gigantic speaker for a priest of Mars bellowing commandments of the Omnissiah into the Martian desert?

[@serpentartist1348]

This is absolutely incredible, I wish you all the best of luck with this massive project

[@Firefrab]

It'd be Really cool to see a titan where the armour was peirced but the cockpit is partially intact, and its just filled with bodies
