TOC Special Showcase - Imperator Titan No.1 - Ira Metallum, Legio Metalica - Part 3. Detailing and Crew

Welcome back to Part 3 of the TOC Special Showcase for Goddenzilla's immense Imperator Titan. Here at Titan Owners Club we put on the largest and most impressive Warhammer 40k / Horus Heresy scale Titan battles in the world. To ensure that the feel of the Warhammer Universe is maintained for the enjoyment of all players, we ask that all Titans with an official Forge World variant (Warlord, Warbringer-Nemesis, Reaver, Warhound, Revenant and Phantom) must have been produced by Forge World and be registered (or registration pending) on the Titan Owners Club Website.

Wholly 3D printed, 3rd party, recast and scratch-built Titans are not allowed at Titan Owners Club events due to the myriad of issues these present, good and bad, IP infringement or build quality, the list is endless and we are primarily in favour of supporting Forge World so we will hopefully see more titan related support and products developed - but our policy on Emperor Class Titans is that they can be invited to an event by the Titan Owners Club event team. Due to the dominance that large titans have on the battlefield, these will be limited or restricted from attending Titan Owners Club every event, and opponents will need to agree in advance, that they would be happy gaming against an Emperor Class Titan.

If you are yourself building an Imperator Titan and wish to be considered for invitation to a Titan Owners Club event and Registration here, please contact the Admin team (by using How to Join email) throughout the build process and we can give you advice to help meet the required aesthetic/scale/construction standard to meet.

Such a massive model needs massive loads of detailing to look the part and as highly detailed as a Forge World Titan would be. Practical - nope, this is Warhammer 40K! Highly detailed Gothic Church on legs - yep, we can do that!
The Command Deck itself is a highly detailed and custom made from snippets from the Black Library novels, detailed with cres and Moderati and the Princeps Maximus suspended above in a force-field amniotic tank or suchlike!
Here is Lady Marlina Sevastin, Princeps Maximus of Ira Mettalum
In comparison to a 'normal' sized converted Warlord Titan head, this head is huge.
Gantries and AA Batteries ensure the titan is protected from smaller enemies too

Even a Techpriest Manipulus is included, I hope that 3.5in floppy disc on its belt contains the STC plans for this behemoth...
Some more Techpriest crew and Secutari in Heavy Bolter Harnesses

In the Strategium, the Imperial Advisors and Space Marine envoy plot over the holographic display
Concept art bought to life in the Banners which adorn the Titan
The main groin banner and a litany of this God Engine's battlefield glories over the millennia.
And as described by Goddenzilla, this massive Engine by necessity is transportable in pieces. It's still a full car load!

Tomorrow will be the grand reveal of the Imperator Titan in all it's battle ready glory. Alternatively, if you cannot wait until then, check out Goddenzilla's Hobby Blog for more Kaiju Country

See tomorrow for the unveiling - The Completed Imperator Titan
