Hello, here's some pics of the Imperator conversion I've been working on.
I wanted to make my Imperator look more dynamic, striding as if going in to Battle against a horde of enemy fire, seeking out targets, like some of John Blanche's classic illustrations in the Titan Legions rulebooks. I had some Mega Gargant spare parts, so I decided to make it look like the Imperator had just blested a Mega Gargant and was striding through and over the wreckage.
I cut the left leg to make it bend more, and the right front toe to position it so that it was striding forwards. I put a bit of Green Stuff on the legs to cover the arrows at the bottom of the legs - I felt that that made it looked a bit 'Chaos-y', and this is DEFINITELY a loyalist titan! 
I'm thinking of calling this Titan 'Immortal Defender' - does anyone know that Latin for that? 
Enjoy!

Very nice conversion Firestorm, I've wanted to do something very similar for years... When I get home at Christmas I'll definitely be bringing my poor old Imperator back with me for some surgery!
Good work, what paint scheme will you have him in?

I hope the titan tech guard chaps have safety harnesses in the leg bastions!
As for the latin, try googleing for a english-latin dictionary.

I'm with Tas, I really like the dynamic pose. It really brings the Imperator to life.
As for the name in Latin, I have a friend who's a Latin teacher. I'll ask him.

I've found the correct Latin name: Patronus Immortalis! I got it from http://www.nd.edu/~archives/latgramm.htm
Thanks for all your positive feedback! Stormseer, it'll most probably be part of my own Legio Dominatus which are painted like this Warlord:
Mind you, I've got a lot of other stuff to paint so it'll be months before I get round to doing it...
Ortron, you are more than welcome to pinch the idea! 
One thing about it though, which I noticed this afternoon... the peg that connects the left leg broke yesterday, and I thought I'd glued it on okay... only to discover that the torso has kind of slipped down a bit and the 'hips' a bit high!  Nevermind, you can't really notice it from most angles.
