Comments: Another titan second hand sale caught my eye and as Warhound No. 4562 wasn't registered on Titan Owners Club, I was pleased to 'bring it into the family'.

This was second-hand and in a few pieces on receipt - Firstly Siph reconstructed the legs after trimming down the base from a large round to his characteristic smaller interlocking circles. A base makes a strong and stable addition, making the legs and base a strong triangle to prevent splaying, or tipping over at Titan Walk events. 

Siph repainted the shin guards and added the Titan's names to the scrollwork, "Canis Irae", or low gothic "Hound of Fury", befits a scout titan.

The previous owner had some cool airbrush work, so in Siph's usual style preserving something of the previous ownership to honour the Machine Spirit, Siph re-did the trim and added the Legio Astorum star maps over the airbrush work, Legio Astorum use star maps to record the titan's history and previous campaigns.

Here you can see the addition to the base, with chain-link fence and a dragon's tooth tank trap under the toes. The Titan will be attached to the base via a large screw up through the base in the centre of the rubble and the base of the fence. The toes will be glued to the rubble and the screws laced with JB Weld for a strong bond. The leg joins were all drilled and pinned and re-attached all the toes with JB Weld and pins. The feet are pinned into the lower leg to prevent any breaks in the ball socket.

Here you can see the leg being glued to the hips, held in place with clamps whilst the JB Weld sets.

So far, completed the base and legs, and TOC's own Drake-Seta supplied and designed another Banner for Siph's Mainiple.
