I should be able to start posing the legs this week, then coming up with a plan for the base. In the meantime enjoy this picture of how massive the armor plates are.
@DanfothLaertes @warhammer40k
Thanks! I may smash it a bit more, but I don't want to take it too far.
@RightHandOfIkaros
The size of the foot is making that difficult, so I pivoted to just "general crushiness" but I still want it to visually translate.
@RightHandOfIkaros
These are getting crushed under a titan's foot as it steps on them, thus the sledgehammer to simulate weight at scale. I just can't decide if they need to be more crushed, or if this reads as "just stepping on to".
@warhammer40k
Oh! And just in case anyone asks - the containers are from the Dragon's Rest Outpost Origins collection - https://dragons.rest/products/sci-fi-scatter-containers
@vladmech
I'm using an Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro at .2mm for the structure and I'll be using an Elegoo Saturn at 0.05mm when I start the armor panels and other detail bits.
I'm trying for a balance of speed to detail.
@Rooki
Thanks! There's still lots of sanding and gap filling to do, but I'll wait until the legs are completely printed before I start on that.
@setsneedtofeed
I haven't decided that yet. Each plate takes about a day to print and the legs alone are 7 plates. So far the only misprint has been a giant spaghetti disaster.
Custom Skullmaster on Juggernaught
Just an update, but I reposed the rider and gave him a sword! I'm pleased with this one compared to the "surfer" motif I originally posed... that and it hides the terrible sins I had to do to the model's hips to get this pose working.

First Attempt At Decals
Okay, so that's a bit of a lie. I've done decals before but it was longer than I care to admit ago. Anyway, they process: decal in water, water on model, decal to model, allow to dry, MicroSol on decal, smooth decal, allow to dry (repeat if needed), matte medium on and around decal, shades to blend and make grungy. I think it turned out great and wasn't too much fuss.

Holiday War Dog Party!
Happy Slaaneshmas 40k fans! This Holiday season I've been working on a mini-pack of Moirax-pattern War Dogs. These are held together with blu-tac right now, but I'm happy with the results. I need to use clay to smooth out the basing but they're ready to prime when the weather cooperates.

Cheeky-Pose Coldstar Commander
Took a small break from the Chaos Knights to build and pose this Coldstar Commander for my buddy's T'au Empire army. He offers peace with one hand and destruction with the other. Please don't ask me what it's armed with, I don't think even GW really knows what T'au guns look like.

Big Robots Need Big Axes
Haven't posted anything in a bit, because I was taking a break to keep from burning out while brainstorming what to do with the Cerastus Castigator. I wanted it to be Khorne-themed but the Tempest Blade just didn't work for that IMHO... then it clicked, smash-axe!

Sardonic Feculence Stands Tall!
More progress on the Nurgle Knight Tyrant! I won't finish it completely tonight, but he will be far enough along to attend Tanksgiving tomorrow at the local GW. Still to do: trim on the upper carapace; gun housing stuff; so, so much oozy goo; and hide more Nurglings around the frame!

Two More War Dogs Join the Pack!
Another Executioner and a Brigand assembled and table-ready. I have a few more bits and bobs, small details really, to take care of before I'm satisfied with them. The heads are just held in by friction at this time. But I have a game scheduled tomorrow so these two might be hitting the table anyway!

Nurgle Knight Coming Together
I buckled down and did more green-stuff work today. I think the Knight Tyrant is almost ready for priming (we'll see if the weather agrees). I also tried the PVA + superglue trick to make some 'fleshy' bits to blend the tentacles to the chassis, I'll need to see it primed to find out how well that worked.

War Dog Executioner Progress
Had the chance to sit down today to get some progress done on the War Dogs... and 2 hours later I am not sure where the time went but hey, the Executioner is fully assembled and all the base coats are down so that's good right?

Trying Something New
So for the Knight Tyrant I've put together a Rhino to act as a scenic base. The plan is to paint it as a Dark Angels tank (My buddy plays Dark Angels). So I'm putting down an initial metallic layer with rusting and then I plan to try the hairspray & salt chipping method.

War Dogs on The Prowl
My desk is a mess from all the plastic shavings, but the next four War Dogs are all assembled! Hopefully the weather cooperates tomorrow and I can begin priming them.

Some more War Dogs join the hunting pack.
This time a pair of War Dog Executioners. The Chaos Rhino kit is a treasure trove of little conversion bits to make an Imperial kit suitably spiky.

Fantastic work on that model!
