Warbringer Nemesis progress 11/04/2019

Hi all

I have been quite busy painting my Legio Mortis Warbringer Nemesis. Please have a look :)

All armour plates have been base coloured with my airbrush now. So it is the tedious stage of painting the trims now :)

Warbringer Nemesis: Chassis assembled

Hi all

I have been working hard twice a week on getting some MKV and additional Death Guard done, with the aim of running a Campaign with them soon for the blog (more info to follow), but I have also allowed two evenings a week for my fifth and final 28mm Engine for Legio Mortis, my Warbringer called Widow’s Wail.



The main structure was a fit fiddly to get into the correct place when it came to gluing/joining together.

 

The rear reactor vents struggled to fit into the rear slots without sitting at an odd angle. 


Everything was assembled properly up to this stage (nothing out of place etc.)


You can see here it just didn't sit in it's slot as it should.


To get the vent joining correctly, the rear would have to be pulled away from the gangway (as in the images further above).


But if the rear was married up against the gangway as shown in all construction images of the Warbringer, I got a displacement like this at the sides by the coupling.

I decide to take a knife to the components to hopefully help it sit in a better position. You can see a before image on the left and a mirrored after image on the right.

 I removed around 2-3mm after the banding ends on the upper surface (this disappears under the Engine anyway, and I also nicked off a corner where it buts up to the long and thin mid vent 

 

 

 This got me the fit I was after as you can see.
 

 

 Here is another look at what I removed.

 The legs were assembled quite quickly. I would say they look incredible, but they are the hardest legs to pose out of all Titans released by Forge World. The knee joints themselves almost had me in tears.

I will suggest a few things.

1. After you have decided exactly where you want the feet placed, try taping them to the table/tray as it can be very helpful (stops the Engine from Bambi on Icing everywhere whilst you struggle to get all other parts in the correct place).
2. Read the instructions twice. Make sure you listen to them. The hydraulics at the front and back do not have the biggest range/tilt, so to get a semi good striding pose, use the bent toe and/or have one leg with the hydraulic fully inserted in the front on one foot and fully in the rear on the other.
3. Try to get a good wide legged stance by having the legs spread out quite wide and aim for a good gap beneath and between. I also turned the hips out to add a bit more of a dynamic pose.
4. Assemble the torso first and get a small spirit level. At the end of the day the Torso is a solid mass, it helps to consider balance when you have the big torso piece to hand fully assembled.

 

 

Come back soon to see more progress.

Warbringer Nemesis Titan Delivered

Hi all

Kaelo had his Warbringer Nemesis delivered today, and so I got to get my mits on this lovely Engine and it’s assembly guide. 

A fair few components!!! This looks fun :) though my initial opinion is that it looks easier than a Reaver and Warlord. 

Legs and feet. Well that's damn simple. 

Waist. Step 11 looks like an important one to me too. I have always had issues with pistons at the waist in the past on my other Titan projects. 

Torso. 18 looks critical too. Dry fitting is definitely key. 

Shoulders and defence guns. Interested to see how the guns can be magnetised in stage 34. Looking at point 38, I wonder what it would look like to get Warhounds grade weaponry on those slots with lesser shoulder guards. Will there be a regular Warbringer with out the Nemesis class upgrade?

Further advice. I do like the Head option now with the magnetic capability. Good job FW. 

Fin.
