Legio Astorum Forge World Warbringer Nemesis Titan – WIP #5 – Torso

by | Sep 29, 2024

Hello Titanseers, I have done quite a lot during the week so the Warbringer has jumped a lot more through the construction process. Above I am gluing the supports to the front armour glacis in-situ so it is in the correct alignment and concurrently gluing the shoulder armour.
The fiddliest bits in the titan progress are the handrails and the telescopic sights for the observation deck. The Master of Ordnance will be sited here on the observation deck.
From the rear, the gubbins can be seen, the generators for the carapace main gun Belicosa Volcano Cannon with the green cables as power to the main gun. The other cog motifs you can see are for the arm weapons. They look great all together.
Here is a better view of the main weapon power modules. I magnetized the cables so the main gun can be removed for storage. The power modules are also magnetised so the whole main gun and power modules can be swapped with the Mori-Quake Cannon and Magazine Hoppers.

There is actually a LOT of magnets in the Warbringer Titan, the power modules have 5 in each side plus securing to 5 in each - so:

    -    Waist x2 (Rod 10mm dia x 20mm)
    -    Main gun elevation x12, (Four Disc 20mm dia x5mm; six 6mm dia x 2mm)
    -    Head and Neck x8, (6mm x 2mm disc)
    -    Groin Banner x2 (2mm x 2 mm rod)
    -    Weapon Banner x4 (2mm x 2mm)
    -    Weapon Power Gens x20 (6mm x 2mm disc)
    -    Arms x4 (20mm x5mm disc; 8mm dia x 20mm rod)
    -    Power cables to Arm weapon x8 (2mm x 2mm)
    -    AA Mounts (rotation and elevation) x 12 (6mm x 2mm disc)
The Legio Astorum Engines traditionally decorate their titans with starfield maps of noteable events and battles the Titan has been involved with. I am adding starfield maps to the front armour of the Warbringer Titan.
Here is the completed armour plate for the right hand front glacis, just awaiting the Heraldic Shield (fixing points are the two bare squares).
Getting there with the build. The neck magnets can be seen.

Tomorrow starts my annual hobby event Dreadtober, so the Warbringer will have a short interlude before blog progress continues. I have a project or two for Dreadtober planned, check out and join in, details in sidebar >>>>

Cheers, Princeps Seniores Siph
