Iron Warriors Warhound FW

[danjones87]

Thats right, after months of saying Id join the elite and buy one, I finally placed my order on Tuesday at 6ish. Come Thursday it was here!

So in three days FW turned this

Into this


Brilliant!

As can be expected, millions of pictures will follow!

Don't forget to show the picture of the elusive Ad-Mech permission slip that comes with your titan. It's like the bigfoot of forgeworld

[Dreachon]

So you finally gave in and got in, looking forward seeing yours.

You turned a wad of cash into horrible wallpaper and a radiator?

But really, how difficult are these bad boys to put together? Just superglue or do you need a degree in mechanical engineering too?

Tah Dah! Number 1129.
Its supposedly a 'Hyena configuration' Warhound. Its only that because FW wouldnt let me swap the vulcan for a turbo laser.

My wall paper is a little dated!

There are 24 pieces to each foot. Id say its a complex kit that needs some serious time to build it.

OK, everyone loves pictures. If anyone wishes to see some photos of certain parts of the chaos warhound ask now rather than later, it may be obscured or covered in chevrons.

Heres a shot of the head with some scale reference.

The upper parts


Vents and other oddities

Weapons

Groin

Shin guards

Legs (I may have one set of pistons too many!)

No pictures of the feet yet, i want to check everythings there first and my rooms a bit of a state so I dont want to open the bags with the tiny bits in!

Who loves plasma? Uh Huh, I do, I do, I doooOOOoooo!

OK, unfortunately as soon as I opened this box I wanted to take the greenstuff to the beast to personnalise it. Its been only a month since the Paladin was in the deep green stage and Im already itching to crack out the putty again.
So, Im thinking of changing this cod piece below, to have the Iron Warriors Iron mask on instead of the Eye of Horus, what good did he do anyway? With the Iron Warriors at the head, the Heresy would have ben successful.

Thoughts?

Comments more than welcome as per usual.

Damn, never knew they had sold that many of them by now.
Funny their calling it a Hyena pattern now.

As for pics of mine hehre you go.

Beautiful.......so beautiful........so damned beautiful!
Take it away before you make me broke!

Got your message. If you check out the Tale of Two Titans thread you can pretty much see the progression Cyric and I took with our figs. Basically, dry fit, prime, dry fit, paint the interior, dry fit, paint upper exterior, dry fit, assemble upper torso, dry fit, assemble legs, paint legs, dry fit, paint armor plating, dry fit, assemble head arms and armor plating, create & paint wicked base, dry fit, attach base, giggle with pride and joy, crush your enemies, crack open a cold one -it's Miller time!
Cyric and I did a lot of searching on the net too. Things to know, once resin is super glued its there for good. Pin all your big bits. Just super glue does OK, but the upper body is heavy and there are a few horror stories out there.
Now I shall present a challenge to you: can you incorporate the Iron Mask onto the face of your warhound? The answer may be 'No, because it's lame.' But its a thought.
Drop either Cyric or myself a line if we can help in any way. We learned quite a bit on the way.
You realize you're gonna force me to start working on mine. Curse you and your filthy motivation!

OK, I just started cutting the gates and vents of the off area, I feel much better now knowing that all the areas fit together quiet snuggly. A bit of blu tac and I think it will be ok really.

Aye, Flayedone found a nifty trick, he glued the heavier sections with Araldite! bits like the torso to the groin and the weapons.

I know I could do this, but I dont think I could pull it off in a way that would make the warhound still look menancing. Perhaps on a Reaver or Warlord it would look better.

Thanks alot Tweaker.
