The waist and top half are magnetized for easy storage/travel, along with the weapon arms. Everything on it was built from scratch using chains, resin, wooden dowels, bottle caps, posterboard, and of course plasticard.
To be available for the drawing, I need those who are interested in this bad boy to be 'someone who likes Scratch Built 40k (follow the site) and leave a comment in the comment section below. A winner will be randomly drawn on February 24th (Friday) and will be announced here.
(legal mumbo jumbo- All pieces look like what you see above. Any damage due to shipping is not the fault of Scratch Built 40k.)
With that, good luck!
This is incredible!
ReplyDeletei demand a tutorial!

Oooh, a Khorne Warhound Titan *_*
ReplyDeleteI really like this! Love the 'Dog Collar'! I would love to see how you built this!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work,
David
@Marsekay- Great blog site you got there! I'll happily join the blog network you have going as well. Cheers!
ReplyDelete@Bagi- Didja see the skulls? :)
@David- Thanks! This is one of my first serious scratch builds and I used the Warhound Titan template that is floating around the internet for most of it but adjusted the head to better fit the Khorne theme I had. The collar seemed appropriate.
(p.s.- I did not just enter my own contest ;) )
Great looking Warhound... Just starting the whole scratch build thing myself, starting a LOT smaller with Rhino hulls though :-)
ReplyDeleteI may not play chaos, but that would give me a reason to start chanting "blood for the Blood God."
ReplyDeleteUnbelievably generous. Gotta throw my chit in for this!
ReplyDeleteAmazing work! This is best contest / drawing I've seen since the Heroes of Armaggendon!
ReplyDeletewoot, free stuff is free stuff!!!
ReplyDelete@pchappel- That sounds great! There's no bad place to start scratch building. I've found it helps me come up with ideas for other aspects of the hobby like terrain building.
ReplyDelete@Tree Chopping Herring- LOL, love the name and see no harm in the corrupting influence of Khorne going to a non-Chaos player :D
@Tristan M and joe metcalf- Awww shucks, fellas. I just wanted to show my appreciation for all you fine folks stopping by my little site! I'm excited to see how many people enter and so far the response has been great!
@BewareOfTom- That it is, sir!
If this is what you do for 60 followers what will you do when you hit triple digits?
ReplyDeleteI'm in, got a friend who plays Chaos and would like something like this for say his birthday or X-mas. :)
ReplyDeleteEasily one of the sickest scratchbuilds I've seen. Mad props
ReplyDeleteAs far as your poll on the right there, I came from one of your forum posts, which isn't on there.
ReplyDelete:o That is brilliant
ReplyDelete@Attrition- Oof! Ya know, I really don't have an answer for that. Perhaps I'll get a set of six Rhino chassis built and set them aside for if/when that occasion should occur.
ReplyDelete@SebastionSynn- That is incredibly noble of you! Your friend is a lucky guy :)
@tehdewuh- Thanks!
@MasterSlowPoke- TBH, I totally forgot about the forums as I don't usually get much traffic from them. I suppose I should have included an 'other' option in case there were ways for people to find the site I just hadn't thought of.
@Padraig- Glad you like it!
I want your wood.
ReplyDeleteCS
;)
Haha, very nice sir.
DeleteLooking good!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteDude, that is AMAZING!!!!!! If I won it would be the best birthday present EVER!!! (It's my b-day today lol)
ReplyDeleteThat would be an awesome b-day present. Happy birthday and good luck on Friday!
DeleteVery nice warhound, did you post WIP when yo first built it? I don't remember seeing anything.
ReplyDeleteI built it before I had the site up here, but I did do some WIP pictures on MiniWarGaming.com in this thread-

Looks good dude.
ReplyDelete*enters*
Good luck everyone!
Thanks and good luck to you too!
Deletelove this your tutorials on the Rhino and land raider easy to follow.
ReplyDeletegonna follow this real hard and i hope i win this bad boy
It's nice to get a compliment on the tutorials since they are definitely the most time consuming part of the blog :) Thank you!
DeleteI was 70th...wish I'd known about this before. Any chance you'd be willing to sent your 70th some self-cast Chaos Space Marine Obliterators? Or some rhinos...
ReplyDeletejdfnerdyboy96@yahoo.com
If it helps you just entered the contest :)
DeleteThat helps :) I suck at scratch modelling. I tried the 2nd rhino tutorial...failed miserably.
DeleteDo you plan to give away other models (*cough Chaos Space Marines *cough)?
Awesome...much better then my super-heavy attempts. I'd love to add something that good to my collection.
ReplyDeletewow what a give-away. bloody generous of you i must say!
ReplyDeleteNice work. I can't imagine how long it would take to plan this out and build it...
ReplyDeleteNow that I think about it, it has been so long since I've built it I don't remember how long it took to build. I'm guessing around 3-4 weeks.
Delete*enters*
ReplyDeleteWhoever wins this needs to get picks of it being played on the net.
That would absolutely make my month! I really hope this comes to be a prediction.
Deletelooks cool
ReplyDeleteNice Job
ReplyDeletethis is really attracting a lot of followers i think...
ReplyDeletei really love the idea of scratchbuilding... though im never really god at it so its nice to get some input and inspiration from here
oh and of cousr i want that free chaos titan >:-)
it´d fit in my iron warriors army
I've noticed that too. It's a good thing it's slowing down or I'd be worrying about what I would do when I reach triple digits! I suppose I better get cracking on something special.
DeleteGood luck TheIronclad! The drawing will be just before midnight Friday night/Saturday morning Central Standard time, so that gives people all through tomorrow to get in any last minute entries.
this blog of yours i great! i wonder why i didn´t see this earlier if i didn´t have so much work, i would be building two scratch build rhinos right now.
Deletei like how you take the time to actually respond to the comments
on many sites this hast gotten rare
one last question.. have you ever build a scratch warlord titan?
I love to receive comments and the best way to encourage more, I feel, is to respond to those who were kind enough to leave them.
DeleteI can safely say that I haven't even considered making a warlord titan! I wouldn't even know how to transport it, let alone have somewhere to put it!
Two hours left to enter :)
ReplyDeleteOne hour left!
ReplyDeleteContest is now closed! Good luck everyone!
ReplyDeleteAny tips on bending plasticard? Or is it easier just to cut it down to individual shapes and glue them together?
ReplyDeleteI always had a hard time bending plasticard, so I tended to glue together and shape it as needed. However, as I understand it, plasticard has a fairly low melting point. I suppose if you have the right tools for it, you can 'bake' a piece to soften it, probably no more than 250 degrees, and bend the piece as needed.
DeleteI don't have experience doing so, so be careful and don't burn yourself if you do decide to try this. I would start low and see how 175 starts out for a couple minutes. Also don't forget to put aluminum foil underneath so you don't make a mess in your oven.
I did try to soak in hot water to bend pieces, but that wasn't sufficient. I may attempt to shape my plasticard in the future using either ceramic or other material, but I haven't been brave enough to try it yet.
If you try it, I'd love to hear your results!
