A long time ago (or so the story goes), I painted up the first Forge World Warhound Titan, and was very proud of it.
Just building the model itself took considerable effort on my part, as I had never really dealt with resin before.
Plus the sheer scale of the model was quite challenging as well, as this was one of Forge World’s biggest kits at the time.
However, building it tuned out to be very rewarding as I learned to use new tools for the first time (a dremel, and an airbrush), and acquired new techniques for both assembling and painting models.
I even made up a war banner for him, and designed a working crew elevator that dropped down to the surface (between his legs).
I named him Eternus Venator, or “Eternal Hunter”, and he was part of the War Griffons Titan Legion (Legio Gryphonicus ) from Gryphone IV.
That project was one of the hardest things I had ever done before- I loved every minute of it.
Eventually the real world crept in, and I was forced to sell the Titan on eBay for financial reasons awhile back when I was in college, which made me quite sad.
Fast forward to now…. the other day I thought about my old creation, as I guess it’s about 10+ years old now or so… and thought maybe I could see if any of you all (Spikey Readers) could help me locate my old model.
I just want to know he’s safe, and has a good home, etc. Of course I’d love to own him again as well, however I understand he’s probably moved on by now…
So what do ya say, Have You Seen My Titan? Baby pictures below. -MBG
