  • Guy's nearly unbriddled honesty makes me respect him a lot. I can't recall a creator that seems as earnest and transparent as Guy is. You know, on top of being an awesome mini-painter giving out great and comprehensible tips and guides.
  • @connortaylor964
    When you stepped on the Hammerhead.. man I don't play T'au but my heart broke! Loving the look it gives though!
  • @Mr-Man
    I would definetely consider adding some cables on the destroyed hammerhead to add some small interest. Guitar wire of different sizes works quite nice.
  • @GamePlayer553
    Whenever I think of something this big, I just imagine the Imperium throwing a camo paint job on it. . .It makes absolutely no sense, but I love the idea of the camo at the top just being a sky with clouds and birds, fooling nobody but the Orks.
  • @henderson2394
    I have to say i realy like guy's safety focus in these vids, i know more than one person that just didn't know resin could be bad for you and i think not enough people in the hobby space have this mindset. Also for £1000 i feel like gw could include some pre cut pins or something c'mon james
  • I'm glad you DIDNT adjust the hip rings! The hip pistons all look like they're really working to keep that beast moving. Looks excellent :)
  • As a tau player, my heart died when he pulled out the hammerhead and started ripping it apart. WHYD YOU DO THAT IT WAS A GOOD MODEL!!!
  • once you finish building the warlord titan you should have it battle your scrap titan would be a lovely duel if I do say so
  • @SarajevoKyoto
    Glad to see you're still getting time to hobby in between chasing the kids, looking forward to seeing this monster fully assembled and facing off with that gigantic Ork fortress-mecha-thingamabob you built.
  • @LPP_YT
    Massive titan sized thank you for the shout out Guy! Great work on the assembly, I love the use of cake trays (no better use of a hammerhead either) and can’t wait to see more of this big fella . Pretty sure my Warhound and knight lance could take it though 😉.
  • Have you thought about getting the Adeptus Titanicus Warlord Titan to try out paint schemes before painting the big one?
  • @mouse7248
    So excited to see the finished warlord Titan, and I can't wait to see what you do with the model in a creative sense.
  • We're so close to it being done, he has both arms, the head and now it's legs. All that left is it's torso and to paint it, And guy I can't wait to see the end after year of work
  • @BarcelPL
    I admire the engineering effort you put into construcion ("assembly" doesn't cut it anymore) of this monster of a model. By the end I think your kids will be able to ride it onto glorious combat.
  • @PreceptorGrant
    I very much approve of the solid structural engineering going on here. I wouldn't have thought of just screwing it, but now I see it, yes, great idea. Fun fact about carbon fibre rods: they also make great cores for latex larp swords. But then larp is a whole other expensive hobby rabbit hole and time sink....
  • @Jan_Iedema
    I just recently finished my first two models partially inspired by you Guy. So thanks for getting me on the path of this rabbit hole of a hobby!
  • @ScreamingTc
    If I ever landed my own Warlord, I'd go for Legio Praesagius, specifically Auric Pegasus in its final moments, crushed traitor reaver titan in its fist, the last standing warlord from the nine that marched out Ithraca in order to buy time for the rest of the Legio to scatter when Legio Infernus turned their guns on their unsuspecting allies. But that's 30k lore. Your best bet is to hit the lore pages and find a Legio that appeals to your sensibilities, either colour scheme wise or lore wise.

    One of Guy's audible sponsorships from a while ago convinved me to try audible. I'll never look back. 39 books deep with many more in my library. Highly recommended.
