Hi guys: A couple of WIP and detail shots of the Caligula Chaos Imperator Titan of Khorne.
I wanted to completely distort the gothic look of the original legs so I filled out the blank spaces on the leg armour and sculpted a number of warped faces and stuff. Also the pistons have been repositioned slightly for a more dynamic pose.
I couldn't find a head I really liked. Originally I wanted to use the jaws from a Hellcannon but no matter how much I twisted it I just couldn't get it to look right. Breaking the jaws completely apart and reassembeling them along with a head plate form a Juggernaut produced a new and more intersting look.
Throughout the models I've tried to replace any gothic architecture and/or Imperial icons with more appropriate chaosy stuff such as the tower on the back. Also since Khotne despises Magic I though I'd remove the Censorium Dome and add some kind of structure which looked less elegant and more bunker like.
The Hellstorm cannon got a huge skull sculpted on from Green Stuff. Sort of inspired by the wepons on the Lord Of Battles really...
The Huge Combat Claw is from the Inquisitor scale Krash Thrax model. I thought a Khorne Titans should be equipped with at least one Close Combat weapon and since I'm not really that big a fan of the Plasma Annihilator looks-wise...well...
Finally the skulls on the bastion guns are the big scenic skulls avaiable form Forge World. I added a lower jaw and used a bit of Green stuff to make them blend into the rest of the towers better. Also I thought they should have some spikey bitz to make them look more chaosy.
...and finally a closeup of the base. I thought it'd be appropriate to have this beast walking on a base made formthe thousands of skulls he had collected for his master's throne. These are made from Green Stuff. Dreadfully repetative work but the overall effect looks nice I think.
Cheers! ?
