The Princeps looks like he means business in there.


Very lovely name scroll and location.





Lovely work on the rear and the door hatch looks very sharp.





Very sharp job and the lighting and heat damage on the weapons is phenomenal.





The death dealer is certainly ready for war.




That sums it up quite well.


WORK IN PROGRESS PHOTOS


Getting a good and stable leg pose going.


The Spartan designed head unit has taken shape.



Working through injury and laying down the ground work for magnets.





A new trick, using screws instead of pins for structural stability.  (Great idea!- Shadow)



More of the superstructure has come together.



Weapons are being test fitted and magnets have been made use of quite well.


UPDATE PICTURES




Making sure none of that lovely detail goes to waste.

Beautiful engine so far, keep it up! - TOC

    1. I was thinking that this might be the price for use of screws when pinning ;) Hope you are ok - the engine looks awesome, can't wait to see more. I love the build phase so much!

    2. There's definitely something about the build phase of the Warlords that does seem pretty captivating and magical.

  2. I was using a foster bit to hollow out the upper arm for the magnets in the shoulders. I was just applying the slightest pressure since I only needed to even it out and I guess pushed a little hard and the resin was a little thinner then I thought, cut through and into my palm.

  5. Col. Good to see your still kicking. Real life can be a real pain. Can't wait to see how your Warlord progress. I'm sure you will produce a master piece.
