Warlord Gatling Laser to Awesome 40k Terrain : Titan Board

today we're going to be turning a giant warlord Titan Gatling Blaster into an amazing piece of scenery with a burnt out laser trench it's tabletop time I'm Dave and today we are continuing our journey building the coolest Titan board ever if you've been following along up to now you'll see we've finished the assembly a bunch of our Titans and it's now time to start finishing some elements of the board so that means building customizing painting and finishing off each component with each video so we should have something really cool to show off by the end of this one so we have a Jen helping us today one of the awesome Parts about this project is because it's on three separate boards we can work on it simultaneously and when Jen starts her own part of the project we'll be able to do the same for her the warlord gun is going to go here and it's going to be blasting through a giant trench right through the middle of the board and we're going to be digging down into this board so the trench will actually be a melted deep scored area where you can place infantry and they can get a bit of a cover say on each end to match the height of the warlord's Gatling laser Blaster we are also going to build our burnt out husk melted rock which will act as a balancing equivalent size line of side blocking and in a future video we will be putting a chaos River Titan right in the middle of this board enough words time for guns so it wouldn't be a fortune build without starting the video with a little bit of scrub-a-dub-dub I heard you say that people put their resin Parts in the dishwasher yeah we've heard some comments saying it'll be quicker to put this in the dishwasher but I don't know how food safe that is I don't really want resin or resin release agents mixing with my bowls but if we do want to kill everyone in the studio well that's a good methods won't kill them just slowly poison them over time now being fortunate this gun did have six bendy barrels that needed to be warped back into shape oh Forge World you in your bendy Barrel to do that I placed the support rings in the middle and actually bent the barrels around them using some hot water I was very careful to avoid getting it on the actual supports these are quite thin bits of resin and if they warp it's going to be really obvious this being a modern four drilled kid thankfully they've started to hollow out their pieces so it won't weigh as much and it went together pretty smoothly aside from the event barrels and once it was put together it was ready to Prime what should I say time Optimus Prime we're going to be building a lot of Titans and painting them and I want to come up with some interesting ways to weather them they've been there for 10 000 years which is like an unfathomable amount of time and there's some tutorials online that are really cool using chipping mediums and things like that but I'm really curious about trying to use Martian iron Earth so I'm going to do a bit of a tester on this door I'm going to spray it black and then silver then I'm going to layer Martian iron Earth on it then I'm going to spray another color on top while it's wet and see what happens and I'm kind of hoping that the orange of the ironer looks like rust and then it all pulls apart and cracks and it works really well probably going to be a disaster but if it works well we can use it on our Titans it's time to apply some Martian iron Earth onto this door and hopefully ships and cracks but we'll see it didn't work at all so I'm establishing some tones on the Gatling Blaster I'm bringing in some really dark metallics just to try and break up the really bright silver now I don't need to go into too much detail here because the first stage of this weathering process is going to be some streaking Grime I'll pull back a lot of it but this should really lend the whole thing together and make it feel like it's aged as a whole but this will just be the first of many layers of weathering that are going to be needed to make this feel ten thousand years old and as part of a board once it becomes part of the terrain there's going to be a whole other round of weathering as well I'm really gonna have to weather this journey it is time to streaking Grime that's right I'm gonna lay my foundational colors with streaking Grime it's gonna be great then we can work on some more weathering from there we have medium rust and crusted dark rust let's do it what should I say let let's do it I don't know what else would I have said it's grabbing time ah we've done this a million times you know what we're doing it's a base coat of black followed by a spray of silver and that's how we get our foundational colors with the colors sprayed down I got a nice dark metal from scale 75 and I just picked out a bunch of detail areas on the gun to give even more variance I don't have to do much here Beyond base coating because a huge amount of my depth and highlights are going to come in the later steps of the paint we have to remember that we are making an entire gaming board in just two weeks a lot of this stuff is going to be buried in sand and under a whole bunch of weathering pigments so there's no point wasting a whole bunch of time painting things that nobody will ever see so I had an action plan with the streaky grime I put it in the airbrush and I got a dark rust effect concentrating on all the deepest recess areas of this model and also adding a few sprays to the flat panels for a little bit of areas I didn't want to get complete coverage with this as I would be coming in with a second color to fill out the gaps bring down the silver with a matte varnish definitely helps bring the rust colors to life it's also super important to Varnish the model prior to putting on streaking game because when we use white spurts to pull back the enamel paint if you don't have a varnish on it they will also pull back the previous layers of paints as well with the first color laid down I got a medium rust this has got a lot more yellow tone in it and I use that to cover the entirety of the gun I do also over spray the areas that I'd previously done in the darker rice but I make sure to airbrush on with a different level of consistency across the whole model just to create some variants these colors look absolutely gorgeous I'm in love with this paint job already with a quick break of some well-deserved chippy marokuchan we could continue this is the Wild and Wacky World of what we do while we paint mini all right Grime is on and it's time to get the white Spirits out using white Spirits I drag down in vertical lines to cause the streaking Grime to run and create these lovely rust lines and Rain marks across the model not that there's any rain on Mars but it does make for a nice texture of weathering effect a lot of the times when working on this project it became really apparent that it was more important to paint what people would expect to see than what might necessarily be scientific accurate on Mars gotta say I'm definitely turning around to using this method I've seen it used before on other models but machines or the guns like this it looks really really good I think every hobby tool has its place and the careful use of things like enamel washers and streaking grounds especially on large mechanical constructs is a really nice way to Accent the paint job after all of this it had some time to dry I got some of that Veil Joe chipping medium and I applied it all over this area of the gun that I would be painting in a charcoal gray so I have to leave this to dry for half an hour and then come back over the top and paint on some grass see what happens I thought I should bring in our resident streaking gram connoisseur so let's say streaky did my ears prickle somewhat slide right in oh this is a this is a grind gun the Martian Sands yes oh so we're going for a really rusty grind it's been there for 10 000 years on Mars all this red that's all Grime really yeah oh that's magic so no dry brushing no no you didn't add the red color except for grime just two different grams here is another palette a different Grime you spoil me though oh we're having a Grammy fix yeah that is going to be exquisitely grimed so that is the most desert bound buried Grime so I could go pretty aggressive yeah I love how it acts like a Grime connoisseur and it's all refined no I'm just brutal like I'm an addict and I Pummel [ __ ] with Grime with that chipping medium applied I decided to carefully come in and paint with the airbrush I thought the airbrush would lightly and delicately lay down some layers of paint that would be easy to remove afterwards this is a legion mortise engine which means a black and red paint job classic colors and a really good combination for a bunch of filthy Traders or if again you're doing our modded lady and they're also red and black yeah doing like a lot of Angels or an AFL what else is black and red red corsairs black Templars black Templars yeah airbrushed on a nice little gradient to the center of these two colors as well just to highlight it up this is a really simple and basic paint Scheme with an airbrush on a vehicle of this size but there's no point in putting much more effort into it given these steps that are about to follow some fancy freehand I see there Dave I wanted to give a little touch of what Titans would have Titans are covered in adornments and are super lovely but this one's a bit ancient I don't want to go crazy in depth doing some kind of freehand mural or something here because this particular part of a Titan is going to be mostly buried in sand but I did want to allude to some of that so I just grabbed an ivory colored paint and I painted on some bow text starting with the word Sanctus and then I followed on with the usual half or scribble writing at this scale and then quickly threw down a very rough choppy sketch of a skull legro mortise are also known I believe as the death's heads or is that someone else I'm gonna Google it and find out literally Googling it right now we can't give you misinformation here yeah Legion Morris death's heads so I wanted to have a skull skull and no bones Jen that was a reason now you might be thinking oh if that skull looks really rough it's about to look a whole lot rougher I could have taken this and obviously made it way better but the plans to bury this in pigments and Chip it off just mean that just be a waste of effort I also made sure to add a little titanicus tea on the side there on the right before I grabbed a sharp tool began to experiment with chipping off this paint so do you want a support table to a time but patreons make you feel physically ill well you can support us on our new website where we have a whole bunch of merch including brand new aprons where we fix where the logo goes we love aprons it helps us get less messy I'm wearing three right now so go on to the table duck tone Web Store links are in the description and on screen and support the channel get some cool merch maybe find some of those sweet posters from our role play Channel while you're there applying a bit of water to the end of the sharp tool really helps lift up those top layers of paint you do have to be careful that you don't scrape too deeply because you can even with the varnish drag up the paint layers underneath I never used this medium before but this is a really cool Effect one thing I really like about it is that it leaves these little textured areas where the paint is peeling off the model and if you do this with painting techniques you can't end up with those little textured ridges and lumps it also seems like a lot less effort too than literally trying to paint in these chips but probably more effective I especially start to think this method comes into its own when you can get these large sections and sort of start to peel them off exposing a large amount of that rusty metal underneath and you can now see why I went to the effort of doing the streak and grime techniques there's this gorgeous varied textured metal effect underneath everything I'm revealing so it doesn't look like a single monotone color it looks like a real piece of metal now lead your mortise trim of their stuff with bling that's right some gold paint was needed all around these trim sections damn and the dirt is gold it does look a lot brighter but gold doesn't actually weather in nearly the same way that regular Metals do so I figured that this wouldn't be weathered to nearly the same extent I painted it all out and then used Peridot Alchemy at a scale 75 paint has a slightly green tinge to highlight at all and then I came in with seraphim CPO wash gave it all a deep dowsing in that color with that done we can lean back and have a look at what this gun is starting to look like I'm really happy with how this is turning out so far yeah this looks really really good so when you're working on huge projects like this a lot of things need to happen simultaneously so while I've got more bits of this awesome laser Blaster drawing it's time to really get a start on the board so it's kind of the first time we're hitting the board I'm gonna get the hot wire foam cutter set up a nice blade that will be good for this and then I'm going to go outside and I'm going to hot wire cutter it and it just started raining it is like 30 degrees sounds like nearly 40. it's been hot all day and and I'm just about to go and when it stops raining I'm gonna go outside and hot wire foam cutter right up this trench and we'll really start to see the shape of what is to come so I actually thought it was like the metal roof popping in the heat what the hell fudge the rains are here so there's a really neat attachment on our hot wire cutter that is a piece of wire you can affect actively Bend into whatever shape you like really good for carving trenches out of boards I've actually used this before too and I find it oddly satisfying to you now I was really careful to carve in as straight a line as possible and I did create a few little wobbles just to give a bit of variance in the shape of the rock almost as if different types of rocks had been more or less resistant to the Laser's blast now lasers don't just fire when they hit the ground well don't worry the warlord is still to come whoa yes yes Jen you're finished building your knight finally and everyone's already seen that video so that's awesome but now you can help me build this laser trench so I've functionally finished the gun I'm going to place it sort of off to its side there I've got all these pieces of the warlord's arm which I want to break and Scatter a little bit and maybe stretch some cables across from the gun just to make a bit more drama around the weapon but beyond that it's time to actually work on the foam do some trenches do some Putty basically start to make the trench look more like between the trench yeah just um just be careful with touching those uh Rusty objects you might like get sepsis or something from them I'm all worried about immediately rubbing the paint off them oh they're painted get the joke because they look really good so I didn't think they were painted yay thanks man I'm gonna put some sculptor mold on this board and start to make the board look like something I'm so excited I love using Scotland so this is going to be the first of many steps we're going to start by making the shape of the Cradle some ridges along the edge and also flattening off the bottom of it because this has been around for a long time so it's sort of filled in with some dirt also make it a lot better for playing uh I'll also be texturing all around the laser Blaster itself and providing a sort of space for that to sit on let's do it yay we adding any color yes now we've been using these concrete pigments these color oxide pigments for a long time just mixing that with the sculpted and some water is really easy instant color to provide some base tones to your board we mix together some deep red with some brown to create a nice Martian bass tone we'll be able to airbrush in some areas to deepen the color and the orange effects in some areas but also use sound effects to lighten other parts of the board one of the most delicate parts of this process or at least the most nerve-wracking was creating a nice little mud pie Nest that would be the home of the laser Blaster I built up a whole whole bunch of scope tomorrow I just put it in there I didn't pack it in at all so that I could squanch in this gun and uh it was kind of satisfying so we need to make a few things such as the bridges and we grab some Games Workshop terrain kits and they just have nothing in the way of floor tiles that aren't broken and ruined uh so thankfully we previously 3D printed a space board that we were gonna make a video out of and we still May one day basically want to make like a boarding actions board but 3D so we have heaps of tiles and I actually think these are going to be super appropriate for these mechanicus themed sort of floor tiles so we're going to repurpose some of those to build our bridges and but it should work really well yeah good team team so I want to put a few little undertones of dark chart Earth in the trench most of it's going to get covered up with textures and pigments but it'll be good to just get a bit of black just a little bit of darkness and shade down in these areas sand mix is done it's time to mix up a liberal amount of PVA and water basically traps it all over the board for the first coat start to bring some texture into this this board is going to be heavy but lucky it's going to be heavy duty for living in a game store [Music] we're gonna do this before it clogs these Square bottles with PVA and water in them do not last long but it's really important that we seal in both this pigment and also the seal the sand on properly before we go on to dry brushing and if we use a brush we're just going to move all of that dirt that we've kind of carefully put where it is meant to be oh God it's already starting scientists invent a PVA glue spray bottle that works every time and you make Crafters very happy the board is all dry right it looks pretty okay but we need a bit more work it's very mediocre right now but that's part of the process of building these terrain boards all we've done is put in the foundational textures there's a lot of work to go and I will say it's not all going to be done in this video So the plan is to complete the focal points then towards the end of the board bring it all together by doing the finishing touches on all of the terrain itself the focal point of this video is getting the gun done so in service of that we have a few things we want to add some shrapnel on rocks around where the gun had initially fired and also we're going to incorporate the bridge that Murray has made and a few other little bits and Bob before we can start using weathery pigments to bring it all together so let's get to work because we've got a lot we've got we this project is ridiculous I thought the blast where the barrels were wasn't really accentuated enough so I grabbed a bunch of rock as if these were heavy bits of rubble that were displaced when this gun fired and I basically threw that out like shrapnel on either side of the gun we also continued this trend by adding smaller amounts of Rock along the length of the trench almost as if there was a surge of Earth throwing some of the heavier rocks to the sides of the trench before it was all cauterized and melted into a heap of slime I know you had given Murray the task of painting up the bridge that would go on the sport yeah these are a nice little accent something in the mechanicum have added since the destruction to Aid in Crossing this particular part of Mars we've got a little bridge and what I imagine is kind of a mechanicus uh sign post just data bursting new information through the new sphere as you drive by it I love that this kind of thing adds a whole bunch of flavor to the board without getting in the way of gameplay and I want to add little accents like this across the entirety of the at this stage we realized that more sculpt mold would be needed which meant more drying time making this particular part of the project scarily close to its deadline of release I mean the video is going out in like two hours right Jen uh yeah that's about right dries in it's all right anything we don't get done in this video or need to touch up will happen later the project still has plenty more time to go but while we did use the sculptor mod for was basically to blend in all of these rocks and also I wanted to add a bit of variance and Randomness to the top edges of that trench it was looking a little bit uniform for my liking so I just bulked out in a few areas those lips of the trench where Rock had melted in the past any excuse to play with sculpt mold is a good one getting Murray's little creation to fit did require some aggressive negotiation I call it aggressive negotiation once that was done it was easy to glue it in and just to squanch it in with some sculptor mold it ain't moving anywhere once this dries I like that this bridge is wide enough for a rhino to go past or any of those lovely primaris hover tanks once this was done we took the board outside to dry and off camera really sneakily added on some more of that sand we glued on the day before just to cover up the skull to mold areas we've recently added this was left to dry and then another layer of PVA to really cure it in then I could come back and finish the board around the areas were the focal points for this video to do this on the board I airbrushed in a few washes to grab a little bit more variance into the ground and areas especially around the gun before I then came in with a dry brush and dry brush all the terrain Mars was once terraformed in the world of 40K and I like to imagine that despite it being a radioactive hellscape there are still a few dead and dry examples of life or party radioactive growth that can grow on this planet so I did add a couple of dried Tufts and weird alien plants but I kept it really minimal once those were glued on the Final Touch was to give that really sandy dry look to the board one of the great things about weathering pigments is they dry looking well dry they look very dusty so I used the charcoal weathering pigment liberally inside the trench to create a burnt all around where it had blasted the Earth and I used several pigments matching the color of Martian or dragged them up onto the sides of the gun to really give the look of a sand swept dry and ancient ruin and with that I'd say this board is looking pretty done on my command fire the Titan Cannon foreign begin recharge I want that gun firing again [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] and as always we just want to say a massive thank you to all our patrons over on patreon you get awesome perks for being one and we really do appreciate every single one of you you guys help us make awesome videos like this and future projects that we're super excited to get started on so if you'd like for joining all of the links are down in the description below so that's the laser trench board we hope you've enjoyed it now a lot of the board we are going to come back to we're going to keep working on towards the end of the project I keep more videos coming out as well leading up to this awesome Titan board the next one out is the Deus him pastors the Fantastic warlord Titan and hero of the book mechanicum we're really excited to show that with you all and that'll be coming very soon if you're interested in following the Journey of this awesome Titan board that is going to become a Mainstay of House Of War and the top table at ARC 40K make sure to like And subscribe and check out the rest of the videos don't forget to check out Arc as well it's happening on the 4th and 5th of March and tickets are still available for general admission meet squid bar meet us the Victoria minis it's gonna be sick do it uh I'm actually gonna bring some models they've got an open painting haul that they've added now just like hang out okay I saw on Sunday you can bring like your old Spruce and do like a big trade day as well I'm hyped I'm going to be hanging out there for a bit so get out of here see you later did you snack at yourself
