I am still looking for a name for this Titan , let me know if you have any suggestions!
Biggus Dickus or SPG aka Special Patrol Group.
"Insanis Ericus" :p

I suspect all the Imperator Titans are unique looking from one another, just like Cathedrals (of reality) that they are "based?" on. I love how yours is coming along. You should crowd source some stats for it! Keep up the great work.
man, a "perpendicular" gothic styled imperator would be neat
Yes, Imperator titans are based.
The Sagrada Familia of Imperator Titans! Probably/kinda looks chaotic unfortunately
it would go a long way to explaining the radical height differences in the lore.
Yeah, and just coming off watching another channel talking about using lots of greebils/tiny detail bits from model kits to increase the sense of scale and detail, it only makes sense to finesse the details in ways that feel right for the project.
This is the most exciting warhammer related project on youtube at the moment.
Thank you! Means a lot!!
Only contendor atm is squidmars manta diorama, both are awesome love the work on this
@@pillowmanswe2350 Squidmar spreading James Workshop's lies about recasting parts for your own use being illegal really soured that project for me.
People really need to wake up and realize these corporations do not care about any of us, they're not our friends, they only care about profits and are willing to lie to make those profits bigger, so it's better to side with the chaotic side of miniature hobby (3D printing, recasting when needed and the good ol' scratch building) in the fight against the false emperor of miniature hobby (GW).
@@tappajavittu true i got a bit annoyed about that still find the project intressting. would never buy a manta. (am taking a break from buying GW atm due to ludacris pricehikes yet again) exploring other mini companies atm
@@pillowmanswe2350 I had a Tau army when the faction was released for the first time and I remember when the Manta was released, holy fuck I wanted it soooooooooooooooo bad, but then I had no idea how bad the QC issues at forgeworld were, so in retrospect I'm happy I never could afford it and now I can just watch youtubers struggle with the Manta, hah.
Hobbyist “Warhammer models so expensive!”
Me *laughs in gardener*
Haha yes. YES.
When all the hobbyists make inside jokes. 🤷♂️
If GW made this it would easily be $30,000! Thank you Eric for using the ol exterminatus on the planet "Price your customers out" even though we still seem to buy 😞

The scaffolds sound badass but don't let the scope of the project run away from you!
Finishing is an important feature of any endeavor. Best of Luck!
I agree - but the scaffolding would allow me to play on the leg in perhaps as little as a months time. I think it would add some functional milestones to the project !
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop Maybe wait to add it after you've finished a good bit more?
@@TrueMiz the titan itself is still the main priority 100%
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop Definitely should make it playable - unless you're going to sell it, and even then probably still. Such a large project is a big investment of time anyway - and if you think you have the motivation to see it through, then every bit of playability you add increases the returns in enjoyment that you get out of the model upon completion.
As a statue, the enjoyment is aesthetic - let's say, 2-3 minutes per person, per decision to look.
As a playable table, the enjoyment ramps up to 30-120 minutes per person, per session, of deep contemplation of tactical areas, minute aesthetical choices, and translates to fully-formed memories of play and enjoyment.
why can't this be a multi-part project with the scaffolding as a base?
That Castigator Titan segment was hilarious. Love the content, and am really looking forward to future uploads. 👍
I mean that's basically an evangelion.
The idea of each piece of the titan being a battlefield, and running a tourney that way sounds pretty sweet!
i'm really happy you found a home depot guy who knew exactly what you were talking about
It already (even still mainly in pink foam) looks fantastic. I can tell you're going to knock this out of the park!
Thank you!! Im really happy with how its going
PVC skeleton is baller, definitely stealing that.
Remember to keep it under 14kgs so you can bring it as carry on when you come over
"I know it doesn't seem like I've done a lot..." Dude, you built an element of a model larger than most pieces of scenery! :)
The Idea of an Imperator Titan waddling up to your fortress, blowing a giant hole into it, then disgorging a whole Tank platoon and infantry battalion to fill said hole is so goddamn dumb, and so goddamn cool. It would be even more hilarious is instead of all of that, it housed 2 small warhounds in either foot
So…I mean…that is basically what American Marines do with their assault ships….
They are bigger then a lot of countries aircraft carriers.
*imperator kicks down the fortress wall*
considering the time it takes to build a Titan in the lore, your build speed is simply beyond imagination.
Lookin good, I love how you've documenting the process and taking your own spin on the titan it really shows your growth.
And it allows people who are interested in building this to follow along. 😃
Oh wow posted 8 minutes ago I’m only a few minutes in but I’m invested. 😩👌🏼
Man, the work that you're putting into this is astounding. Can't wait to see the end result one day!
This is so awesome!!! Thank you for bringing this to life, loving all the additions and interpretations you're making. I didn't know I wanted to play in a Necromunda tournament with everyone crawling across a Titan, but damn that would be glorious
Just watched first video of this series last night again. Must have been a sign this was coming out today
You should rewatch my videos more often if it helps me get them out faster 😂
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop IC what you did there;)
This is THE most exciting project on youtube, Eric. I cant wait to see it coming together. Good luck and stay awesome, brother! 💪
Great idea for the multiple tables for the titan, even when not in use you could use all the bars and assembly walkways around it as a display of sorts for some workers in the hanger akin to a docking bay.Always loved the command center feel where the robots were kept in gundam and evangelion, would love to see a fabricator general giving commands to a swarm of tech priests and skitarii all welding and running diagnostics on the massive titan to really show the scale.
That foam reveal of the Pink Panther cracked me up! Bravo. Amazing work on the titan!
I've been waiting for an update on this project and you definitely didn't disappoint!!
Thanks for walking through the challenges and your troubleshooting steps!
A near entirely vertical battlefield in a hangar scene with the titan undergoing maintenance or being built and da orks wunt a good scrappin and krumpin! I like that.
This project is so freaking cool, i got the same enthusiastic feeling as when Squidmar started his Manta diorama. Much love bro, keep it up
I didn’t think he was actually gonna do it, but my man did
absolutely mental project, I love it ! Good luck with the rest, I look foward to see you conquer that thing
We talked about giant builds like this on the Scratch Bashing discord a while back, and the main stumbling block for a lot of builds that try and portray the mega-engines of the 40k universe in 28mm scale is the lack of scale-appropriate detailing. Essentially they end up with too many enormous flat surfaces, which make no sense if you actually imagine them to scale.
So I think your main challenge with this guy will be adding enough greeble to it that it actually reads as an enormous 28mm war machine rather than just an upscaled tiny model. Luckily between toy parts, 3D printing and possibly casting stuff you should be able to fill those out without TOO much trouble!
It's quite the project, and it's awesome to follow along, so I wish you the best of luck in building this monstrosity!
I agree to an extent. There will certainly need to be areas of exquisite detail that bring it to scale. The forge world titans and their nests of pipes and rivets and mechanical bits are the standard i will be aiming for. BUT… it is also important to have some surfaces that aren’t too visually busy to the let the areas of detail breathe. Thats where the artistic discretion comes in. Its important to be able to draw the eye to the areas of focus. If the whole model is too detailed it does more harm than good to the overall impression it leaves. I hope to find the right balance!
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop Oh don't get me wrong, I agree that having some spaces of relatively lower detail is important to help make the overall silhouette more legible.
I was simply pointing out a very common pitfall I have noticed with really large builds. I think a good example of doing it right would be Studson's build of Howl's castle.
Give it up for our boy issac at Home Depot. 40k sleeper agents everywhere
Governor Beckett. "You're Mad"
Captain Eric. "Thank goodness for that, because if I wasn't this would probably never work!"
What an amazing Project
Great work, I was just thinking how I wanted an update on this project! Your creative liberties are totally canonical since an Imperator, much like a gothic cathedral, would have been constructed additively from the ground up rather than from a standard blueprint.
I literally laughed out at the Pink Panther thumbsup :D
Truly awesome and epic project Eric. Can't wait for more.
everybody gangsta till the church gets a leg
An entire tournament that is played on a single titan model would be incredible!
Sir you have earned a sub. Can't wait to see the rest of this
I'm not even really a warhammer guy, I've dabbled in reading up on the lore and universe and it's pretty cool, but that being said this is one of the best and most insane craft projects I've ever seen. Good work so far can't wait to see the progress
NGL Playing a game on top of an imperator titan is a big dream.
Love this video and the concept.
The Imperator Titan class is the smallest between the superior class of titans: Imperator Titan, Warmonger Titan, Apocalypse Titan, and Castigator Titan
I usually don't care about the tabletop/model part of 40K but this has my attention, can't wait for the end result!
One thing you may consider as another thing is to have the feet detachable as well, having them on bases that could be moved around the battlefield would be a way to actually get it in use with some of the more massive games.
Love the thought of the Titan and hanger being an entire battlefield and still have it be one cohesive model that could also be played so ambitious and such a great concept well done
There are mad lads.... And then there are absolute mad lads.
This is insanity, and I love every bit of it.
The idea you mentioned about making it into multiple smaller battlefields you could use in a campaign style game sounds legendary, it will make the massive amount of work into an extreme amount of work but I think it would be worthwhile
Shine on you crazy diamond!! Follow your heart, the tournament on a titans back sounds incredible.
FINALLY! Ive been waiting for you to post a video on this project since you announced. PRAISE BE THE MACHINE GOD
The idea of turning this into a battle board is the songle most gigachad cherry on top you could possibly think of for this gargantuan project
Oh i am so happy that i randomly found your channel! The utter madness of a big angry cathedral is of the things that got me in to 40k back in 2nd edition!
The super modularity and making it into a game space as well is truly inspiration from the omnissiah!
I love that you're adding all kinds of extra flourish and greebling, it makes perfect sense that each titan would be as unique as each cathedral irl. It's as much a work of art as game piece! (If you ever get the chance to run it in a game somehow, please show!)
The Sisters of Battle blasting hymns and choir music while they drive through the battlefield on their tank mounted church organs murdering everyone in sight is peak aesthetic.
Amazing project idea Eric! The titan being a battlefield of killteams rocks. Eager to see the final project
I LOVE your work, Eric keep to the end of this project!! I built my own Imperator for 40K last year, used it a few times with fellow gamers in my Game Room (its permanent hangar, I guess), but it's an absolute pain to haul up and down stairs and in-out of cars, so be mindful of dimensions and component weights! I must brake down place it in every section of my small car for a single-trip transport, a time constraint by itself...
that's a nice start!
Don't worry about the canonical aspect of the model, because first, as you mentioned it's your project and second, despite being made from the same STC, each Imperators are unique, either being built by different forge-worlds, repaired by less and less knowledgeable techpriests throughout the ages or different loadouts for different campaigns and much more in-lore reasons for them being different from one another.
I saw a Necromunda table a couple years back, that was exactly what you plan to do, it was a maintenance bay for a titan, except there was only the gantries, catwalks and cranes. still, it was a gorgeous table, can't wait to see yours with the Titan sitting in the middle.
please keep the good stuff rolling! :)
I remember back in the 90s the Manchester store built one for a window display... it was ridiculously huge. They also built part of the Fang for another window display.
Great use of background music throughout this video. Really appreciate that attention to detail!
this feels like such a good project to start up a discord for and offer the community to help 3d model out various parts and bounce some ideas for its construction. truly an exciting project. i think it could create enough interest to kickstart some cash and get custom made 3d models printed (when size allows) and custom ordered cut thin metal for larger pieces. could be a bit like what Wintergatans MMX project was before he turned it into a cryptomeme.
subbing to you just to follow this project. the fact you have the balls to decide to build this deserves a sub
i got a great tip from a model aircraft channel a few years ago and i think it might be suited to the titan: the guy coated the styrofoam wings of his planes with epoxy glue (thinned down with alcohol) and it created a flexible shell that allowed the foam to bend without breaking. obviously this isn't suited to the entire titan but i think it would go a long way to increasing the durability of any bits that stick out from the main body
Talking about making the titan and the scaffolding for a play area just reminds me of that part in the Space Marine video game where you are walking across a titan's shoulders. This thing's going to be huge, but it's going to be awesome.
Also, TIL there was a Tiny Epic version of 40k. I wish I had had a chance to get into that when it was a thing, though it looks like there is a decent community and access to proxies I could use.
I think the scaffolding idea sounds really cool.
Midwinter Minis, Scratch Bashing, and Eric all making huge Titans 😍 #titanspring
This build is looking pretty awesome.
The "why would they do *any* of this?" really sold me on the video, I love this guy
I definitely think it's worth spending some extra effort to make this into something you can use in your games, however that will manifest. It will still be sweet if it's just watching over your game room, but if it can be part of your games you'll love it even more.
Oh I can already tell this is gonna be majestic! Can’t wait to see how this goes!!
the comedy in your videos has become A tier, keep up the good work king
dude this is starting to look awesome mad respect for dedication to 40K hobby to build something of this size
Those feet cathedrals will be epic terrain on the tabletop!
This is awesome!! I love the idea of a Killteam board on the back! That would be amazing
I. Can't. Wait. To. See. This. Come. Together!
You're amazing. Can't wait to see the finished titan. Love from Sweden!
Amazing work so far! A legion of skitarii is only around 2,000, so judging by the size of the legs, you should have no problem fitting that many inside of it!
It's worth-while, because every hour spent adding playability to the model, means that when finished you get more use out of your work than just aesthetic beauty - it's also much easier to sell to things like gaming stores or individuals if it is a functional table as well as a cool work of art.
I definitely think you're on the right track adding the gothic cathedral vibes all over the thing as apposed to just slapping it on top, should make for a more cohesive design as well as make the indvidual parts more interesting
This is amazing. Genuinely one of the most exciting hobby projects on youtube. Incredible. 👏
The content on this channel just keeps going up in quality week after week.
Awesome project, Eric! and the idea of using the whole titan as a table... chef kiss*
You have really captured the right feel with all the extra spires and the vehicle ramp. Looking forwards to seeing it progress
A Imperator titan cosplay would be awesome.
I expect this project to take at least a year with the sheer size of it! You take all the time you need on it, because with attention to detail and pace that you're comfortable with; I just know this is going to turn out astounding! I can't wait to see more updates in the future!
"I had some fleeting and dangerous thoughts of making the interior detailed and accessible" I cracked up there
This whole idea is insane and absolutely awesome.
I love the idea of making titan a whole series of battle fields. That would be epic to play on
I was gonna say using the Titan as backdrop or terrain for games would be amazing, but your idea of integrating different pieces of the Titan into different KT/Necromunda boards, and hosting a tournament is INCREDIBLE!
Absolutely spectacular. I can't wait to see the full work
Wow you do actually look extremely cool with that
Hell yeah brother
Building the scrafolding will be great
I saw the thumbnail and tbh I thought you were aiming to 3d print literally the entire thing. Which in itself would have been super badass.
crazy interesting idea. Can't wait to see the finished product.
I'd love to see a tournament build where the battles are all on different parts of the Titan.
Deep in the sacred forges of my basement, you are the best good sir!
Dude, please make a full titan that is playable! Thats exciting!
Love your work, thank you!
Really started coming together at the end, good luck with rest of it!
smoothest ad transition in history.
man this is a crazy project!!! But I'm all for it!!! Best of luck for the follow up!!!
Yeah that killteam map idea sounds amazing
This is incredible! Really excited to see the progress on this.
This is insane. I'm excited to see the progress. Please use the titan horn noise at some point in one of these videos just because it sounds cool.
After not hearing about this for a while, I was worried you'd given up with it. So glad you haven't and I'm really excited to see more updates!
May offer a suggestion on the Pistons for the hydraulics use HVAC chrome taping it will give it a look like a hydraulic on a piece of machinery where it’s always polished like on heavy equipment
It’s insane the quality upgrade of your videos. The editing, jokes, lighting and cinematography is top notch! Can’t wait to see this bad boy finished.
3:51 "Nice!"
Fuck yesssss more titan updates babyyyy
I saw your comment on Scratch Bashing's titan building video ... you are really doing it, you glorious madman!
Looks like you are off to a great start!
Excellent squarespace segue. Oh, the project is epic too.
That Sir, is AMAZING! Bravo 🤩👏
