I may have layered scab red over terracota or dark flesh to help keep the colour redder, more like dried blood. When I paint red I layer terracota, scab red then red gore, with a devlan wash, which you could probably then improve one hundredfold.
Just my 2 cents.

PINK! That'll make your titan popular with the ladies though Slap it with a Baal Red wash, that'll sort it out (and you can use the airbrush still... ) Are you lot scared of pink then? You'll be s******g yourself if you saw one in real life! Thanks Nathaniel, I've seen someone else use the battlescape. It's quite effective but not really what I'm after. Thanks Shostak, I'm going to use my guinea pig Chimera for more paint tests. But some good news..... IT'S BEEN DESPATCHED!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Base GraphicJust done a quick Google Sketchup model of how the base may look.... Thoughts? The front and the sticky up bit at the back/side will be rock face. Cosmic

Id taper the 'front' rockface to integrate it with the table better. I love how you're living your titan fantasies on Google Sketchup ;D Please get your missus to photograph your happy little face when it arrives. I'm practically wetiing myself with excitement, so lord knows what you're going through!

When you say 'table' do you mean a gaming table 3ff3ct? Haha she won't be here when I open it I'm afraid! If you're wetting yourself then I can tell you I'm releasing every single bodily fluid possible with excitement! I've just done some more.... Going to have the usual Waste Pipe poking out the front, just adds something else and will show the planet of Orestes better, full of Hive cities but with open sandy ground in the wastelands.

A titan foot print... I've not seen it done, but I reckon you should put one into the base with some squashed stuff underneath it...
Titans rock!.. Titanicus is an excellent book (finished re-reading it last week)...
Out of curiosity, how many points of imperial stock do you have prior to the arrival of the warhound?
also.. well done!!.. I have failed too often to save for said titanic item!
ps.. have you been walking about the place at 'full stride' and 'traversing to face 2.8 degree' whilst out and about?.. I would be!
Stomp whirrrrr Stomp whirrrrr Stomp zzzzzzzzzzz kachaw pshhhh whirrrr etc!

IT'S BLOODY AMAZING!!! Now that I'm very slowly coming out of my 5 year old at christmas excited phase, I can right a feview and photos!! Warhound UnboxingFirstly, when you spend over £300 on Forgeworld you get free express UPS delivery, which is great because I waited a day which is great service. Now to the Unboxing... Nice and secure Bubblewrap And epic amount of heavy resin! No feeling like it, picking up all the bags. My Bio-Titan decided to have a look... Endless parts! Solid chunk pretty much.. I'll take some more pictures tomorrow but here's some more written info... 1) This thing is MASSIVE! I wasn't expecting it to be as big, I thought the pictures would be decieving, but you honestly cannot imagine how it looks even just dry-fitted! It's epic. 2) Instructions however are the usual Forgeworld abomination......absolute rubbish. 3) It was pretty well packaged however having a quick look I can see the Servo-skulls and other small parts have been put in the bags with huge chunks, and as a result they've broken off and are loose, they look ok though so no damage hopefully. 4) It's a puzzle!! There's hundreds of bits and I don't know where to begin.. Well folks that's all tonight but I promise I'll get some more info up tomorrow. Cosmic

Thanks for the support everyone I've run through everything and it seems that every piece is there, APART fom one of the lighting nozzles for the Inferno Cannon. It's tiny and appears to have broken off, but I'm sure I can press mould another. I decided it would be best if I laid everything out so I can see what I'm up against.... Cosmic
