Blackadders Warlord WIP

You've still built a warlord faster than gw lol

I read that GW would require 18 months of development to produce a prototype Warlord from their titan artist.

(Of course I would be available should I be asked :blush: ) but they are not prepared to engage the talents of their designer on a marginally profitable project. They instead prefer to waste effort on $2500 fortress walls and battlefield tiles that don't fit together properly.

No wonder 'Buy Painted's Jaro predicts the demise of GW:

We've waited this long, and let's face it, we're not going to see it happen any other way. So how about stretch the project to 24-28 months and have him work on different things at the same time?

Is there a Mars pattern Warlord in your future?



Seems the buzz is that FW will be relasing a Mars Warlord in the first half of this year according to:

unless this is the cruelest April fools joke imaginable. Now why they were keeping this a secret is beyond comprehension because unless you're independently wealth you're going to have to save up to buy one of these because the projected price will be around £914 (1351.86 US Dollars); hope that includes weapons.


The good news is it appears 1.5 to 2.0 times taller than the Reaver Titan judging by the main gun showing
in the Reaver image:



so my Lucius Warlord is in the same ball park:

plus it's a Mars so there's no conflict there......... Whew!

It's not a secret. That picture is from a video they released, and if you phone them they confirm it.

The shoulder pad to the left of the Reaver in that image is also the new Warlord.

It's very exciting!

That Mars-Pattern Warlord is nice, but I still like the utilitarian Lucius best.

I'm excited because there may be a Chaos Warlord in the offing as well which is what I covet. I think the Mars pattern lends itself better to the decadent Chaos theme more so that the Lucius.

[interrogator_chaplain]

Oh definitely, the Mars pattern Reaver shows us that, but I still adore your Lucius. Probably owing more to my favourite Titan picture:

[Blackadder]

The Mars pattern is decidedly decadent and as such is more in the flavor of the Chaos faction. While I do applaud the FW Warlord Titan I shall be reserving my hard earned dineros for a Chaos Battle Titan.

Pretty Sure It's a Warlord:

Someone on the BoLS newsletter went to a lot of trouble pasting together frames of the short video to give a composite image of the new FW Titan shown here.

Granted it's in the foreground of the Reaver but still it dwarfs the Reaver by almost double allowing for perspective.

Mebbe my Warlord isn't so outlandishly huge after all............

Still searching for the full painting.

[Blackadder]

Something Unholy Comes This Way:

A tease in the FW newsletter; the foot pad of the Mars Warlord. and a scale figure so I can do a bit of calculating.



To my eye it seems a bit smaller than my 'Luteus' but that might just be my paranoia.

Anyway there is significant changes in detail from the Epic Warlord cast metal titan I based my model on so I shall have to see if any amendments can be made to 'Luteus Vexant' I believe what is presented here are the diagonal trapezoidal toes. which are detachable on mine so modifications should be easy.

See boys and girls, "Craziness pays........."
