This is a Titan like no other, as there are few words to describe the incredible level that GMM painted this full-scale Warlord to.
When it comes to hobbying GMM Studios doesn’t mess around. They go big or go home and continuously push the boundaries on how good they can make miniatures look.
A Titan Like No Other! GMM Incredibly Painted 24″ Warlord
Here’s a breakdown of the project from GMM:
Not only is the paint job jaw-dropping. But look at the units sacrificed for basing!
This project started as a rough idea of something for the glory of the Imperium, a set of parade Titans in gratuitous celebration of deeds and characters of all sorts from across the universe.
The customer’s base request was a walking Sistine Chapel, kicked up a bit over the top to blend in with the 40k universe.
The marble was a natural choice to fit the aesthetic of a chapel and much better than any single solid color for any panels too complicated for freehand to look right from all but one angle. Once this was figured out, it was a matter of finding a style to balance the freehand and marble to the eye overall, then it was off to the races.
You can get a solid view of the marbling and mural artwork of Titans marching to battle here.
Zooming In On the Detail
Each panel translates into literal hobby blood, sweat, and tears on a new level. We’ve got a Commissar pointing just above a grimdark Waldo hiding behind the tank.
Here, there’s an Ad Mech Techpriest and a Chaplain on the other two lower leg panels.
Guard on one leg and Sisters on the other, do you recognize some of these classic pieces of art brought to life on the Warlord?
Blood Angels were painted on the codpiece over any of the other Chapters because they know how to die for something worth protecting.
The vibrant reds and cool blue marble transition panels really draw the eye in and pull out every last bit of detail.
This Warlord looks like he just stepped out of the holy imperial museum of art.
This might have been one of GMM’s older project but it’s withstanding the test of time as being one of the most gorgeous pieces of art we’ve ever seen come out of the hobby.

What’s your favorite armor panel on the Warlord? Do you have any Guard bits used as basing detail on your bigger models?
