Comments: The last engine of a long forgotten loyalist Legio, the Rat King stood immobile in the depths of its Forge Hive slowly becoming overgrown by the hive gangers that made it their home. (The head of the titan is a custom 3D printed part that I sculpted myself.) I was inspired to create this titan by the idea that a Titan is like a moving castle, I wanted something that had crew members scuttling all over it, firing down at enemy troops below and dropping boiling tar on them.  Still a work in progress but I'm using lockdown to get as much done as possible.

A unique and great looking head design, a custom job by Princeps Tom(we support creators custom work not based on FW IP and obviously Forge World purchases, please do not ask to purchase the STL files-TOC)
Only a Battle Titan Volcano Cannon at this stage, but an interesting take on carapace weaponry - a redoubt or castle for the Hive Gangers.
Adapted and gantries fitted whilst the titan was in deep hibernation abandoned within the hive forge by long dead Tech adepts - what disaster befell the original Legio?

Certificate of Authenticity - Princeps Tom will need this once all the conversions are in place! I reckon it will look like a scratchbuild by then with extensive alterations by the Gangers.
