But luckily we sent this away to the crazies at Dark Bunny Creatives. Now that it’s all built, it’s time to paint it up. Once again that awesome Vallejo plastic putty comes to the rescue! Repairing the damage as good as new! Once this dries, Rob will file it flush and the whole magnet mistake will be in the distant past! Painting the Monstrosity If you find yourself with components that have small bubbling issues, you can always stick some of the ever amazing Vallejo plastic putty into the bubbles! This stuff dries in about a day, and can be filed flat afterward!Įver put a magnet in with the wrong polarity? Fear not! Rob covers some quick tricks to popping the magnet out, preserving the model and the magnet! By drilling a hole right next to the magnet, you can pop it out if you’re quick enough, flip the magnet, and get it back into place with minor effort! These clamps are super cheap on Amazon, running about $5 each! If you’re struggling to get all the parts to stay together while your glue dries, some cheap hand clamps are great additions to your toolbox! Rob always recommends using the right tool for the job! In this case, you need to make sure your magnets are large enough to support the weight of the parts you’re attaching! Most of the magnets used in the Warlord Titan assembly are pretty large! If you’re spending this much money, you might as well magnetize it! Rob talks about the different tools he uses to ensure everything sticks together long enough for things to set.Īfter those long hours spend grinding drilling and scrubbing super glue off your fingers, it sure feels good to get it all together and see it on the table, doesn’t it? Magnetizing the Head & Weapons In an ideal world, all the Forgeworld components would fit together perfectly, but sadly the limitations of the materials mean that gap-filling Forgeworld stuff isn’t going away any time soon.Įnsuring your new masterpiece has the proper support while it dries is especially critical when assembling the load-bearing parts like the Legs and hips. Once you have the parts correctly assembled, it’s time to tackle the gaps. This lets you get a feel for how everything is going to come together in the end and helps show which components might be warped or where you need to add some extra support in the form of pins or dowels. One of the most important steps when assembling a model on this scale is dry-fitting your parts. Without proper setup, these critical components can fail, causing your expensive and painstakingly assembled beast crashing to the ground. Rob is going to guide us through the trickiest bits of assembling this beast, namely the arms and the legs. Just the joint where the weapon attaches to the titan is the size of a 32mm base. This weapon can be assembled either left or right but you need to keep track of which side you’re building it for because of the mounting setup. Once you get a look at the exploded view you can see how detailed this kit really is. The hand is so massive that is it about the size of a Land Speeder and very close to the size of a human hand.Īnd finally, we look at the Sunfury Plasma Annihilator. Fingertips or claws can be attached to the fingers of this massive hand. Next up, we will take a look at the Mars Pattern Warlord Titan Arioch Power Claw. Unboxing the World Warlord Titan Weapon Systemsįirst, we are going to take a look at the Missile Launchers.Įach missile has its own separate bit and the larger parts are just massive chunks of extremely detailed resin. The armor plate and weapon are both giant, but again, everything snaps together okay here and is just filled with detail. The head is so giant, but luckily the kit is very well designed, so everything actually snaps in pretty well. Head & WeaponsĪgain, seeing the instructions for such small sections really shows you just how big this is. Now that we have most of the pieces for the body, it’s time to look at the head and weapons. Usually, this is the bag an entire Forge World model comes in, not this bad boy. When you lay out all the bits it just gets even more of a daunting task. The one-piece is as big as Rob’s entire hand! Since it’s all resin, this weighs a ton. Just looking at the instructions is daunting! The booklet is giant and if you’re building one of these, be sure to save up all your spare patience you have laying around. While the video says part two, we’re putting it first because this is all about building the giant body! If you want detailed instructions on how to actually build this behemoth, watch the video above, or check out our highlights below.
