Great video guy! This is the channel that got me into 40k and I love your videos!
We’re you watching snipe and wib? Guy?
Looks great - but how would you deal with terrain on the table?
@@notreallydavid you don’t, you just move small-medium terrain out of the game or sit still and look pretty
@@theinquisitionsparrot6749 Ah!
This would be a GREAT model to use that GorkaMorka transport rule, where it can carry as many models as will fit, but if they fall off they're dead for good
A nice finishing touch would be stick a bunch of random enemy body parts all over it where they failed in their attack. Arms and legss sticking out from under the treads, impaled on random spikes.
@@WickedCrispy nah; they'd all be eaten up as a snack
It's like I always say, "one man's trash is another man's stupidly huge warhammer gargant model."
Words to live by

It’s a cliche for a reason… :)

@@andrewt9128 *perfect*
Since the purple makes it sneaky and potentially invisible, there should be a battle scenario where this thing just shows up right next to the warlord as the start of the battle.
it could be a bloodaxes deployment phase startagem
I love the mental image of this massive titan stomping out into the battlefield, and then just this walking trash heap just appearing out of nowhere.
The purple power has never been confirmed and is currently just fan-fiction but who cares since its just a make believe setting and we should be able to believe everything we want to!
You'd probably have to roll all 6's on a 4d6 roll to have that happen, but the chance wouldn't be 0
@@ianbyrne465 SUPRISE 'UMIE!! (Whacks the Titan's head and knocks it over)
This is the kind of modelling that GW used to encourage and support.
key word. *used*
@@richardlair6981 That's probably why he wrote that, yes.
Sorry. Question from someone who knows very little about WH. If I may ask, why is that? Is it no longer allowed?
@@jcxcollection13 it is these guys are just being miserable and over dramatic it's fine, enjoy WH
@@warlocksunited2e580 oh so that means custom making your own unit to be used in a game session is still allowed??
Only Guy from Midwinter Minis could procrastinate building a Titan by building another, _separate_ Titan.
EDIT: With the number of platforms on the exterior, you could turn the gargant into a piece of terrain for Kill Team or Necromunda. That is, with enough pieces of scaffolding terrain to bridge gaps.
Those are the bravest and dumbest gang members in the underhive.
What'd they do?
They boarded an ork gargant just to kick EACHOTHER in the teeth
@@wiccanthropy1956 orks inside: *wots dat noize?*
@@genericuser984 noise marine kool-aid man through the metal plates. "Hear the dirge of slaanesh! Our noise will harry you! Can you hear the song of despair? Pass into the kakophony!"
How about a broken down Gargant? that on a roll of 5 at the start of each turn activates one weapon that randomly attacks the gang whose turn it is?
that just popped in an idea of how the stealth works, it doesn't make the gargant invisible, it just isn't recognized as an ork war machine
LARGE! Thank you for the baby for scale.
big BOY
Should have made the gargant slightly larger and added a seat for a baby at the back or something. Imagine the damage one of those could do on the battlefield.
You should make 40k rules for the howls moving castle you built and then have them fight :'D
I presumed that was the pilot.
I thought you'd find me here
The kid selling his crane toy for 7 pounds was very wholesome
I do hope that he made it so that it still worked when it is done
ha ha
I will say there's 1 main issue about painting the model purple. when you started painting on the purple for some reason that giant Gargant started to get smaller for some reason, I don't know why... Also as big and giant as it is when you did the showcase of the gargant around the 27:00 mark I couldn't see or find it......... it was like I was looking at a blank screen. Almost like your Gargant has *"disappeared"* into thin air...... Hahahaha!
the joke is that if an ork believes something can happen it actually happens
and they believe that purple is a sneaky color
@@thedoorman243 omg, thank you, Peter Griffin!
So instead of trying to tackle that massive pile of shame, Guy decides to build a whole new model out random stuff instead...
Love it
Hey it’s not buying a new model if you make it your self
Couldn’t ask for anything better
Isnt that how the orks do things anyway
It's just a different pile of shame though. :-D
Instead of tackling the Pile of Shame he has constructed a walking Pile of Victory.
When your pile of shame gets so large, it gains legs and stomps off to a whole new studio...because it needs more room to grow!
Does this count as another member of the family? You're going to need a mini-van soon.
When the warlord titan is born, Guy and Penny will have four whole children.
@@Bluecho4 or two full adults
Gotta learn how to drive first!
I like to imagine they announce themselves with a revving of the gargantuan choppa, and all within a few miles will hear this hum of death, knowing something terrible is coming for them.
And then they never see it coming
*Warlord Titan still unfinished on desk.
Guy: I should probably finish it
Also Guy: Let's start an equally large project, but make it completely from scratch.
The look on ants face just after making the 'belly' gun was priceless
Yeah, that man has a magnificent moustache
The ball busta blasa
@@simonkuni8422 it is one snazzy moustache
"BUBBLE MACHINE"
Christ you just gave me nostalgia flashbacks. Our GW store made a Gargant for gamesday 2006. Jesus I completely forgot about that. It had a hollow back cross section and Marines were fighting the ork crew inside.
Despite the disappointment of recent times regarding GW, this is the kind of stuff that keeps me in the hobby
aah that's actually amazing
Any chance you or any of the lads have pictures of that thing??
@@Bobdd0 It was the Breahead store RIP. Was before smart phones sadly so not as many photos, I've been trawling the internet looking but no luck as I remember a lot of photos being on myspace and bebo which are shut now.
@@jmaccsarmiesofmiddleearth ah beans. Well the memory lives on with you and your fellow hobbyists now!! Long Live Gargantz! Long live Orks!
That's incredible exciting news, and I'm more than a bit jealous! Good luck, and I'm excited to see what big projects will come out of your mekaniak workshop
Man ant has been a damn treasure since his first appearance on the channel and it's only been getting better since he appeared on camera.
I love the idea of a titan sized Gargant skateboarding along with his 1 track and leg. Awesome.
He is called Pegleg!
We NEED to see a Kill Team battle report on the outside of this amazing model's body!
Omg yes
That would be SO AWESOME!
I dig the yes-man pfp
When he began using purple the only thing I could think until the end of the video was a general screaming with a soldier saying something along these lines "Are you telling me you couldn't see a walking fortress the size of a skyscraper until it was literally in front of you?" Besides this, awesome video
It's always amazing how a paint job transforms a pile of (really well arranged!) junk into an amazing 'sculpt'!! Looks brilliant, really love it. You channel is an inspiration, not only for painting and modelling, but also for just getting on and doing! Congrats on moving into an office office, something I hope to do in the near future myself. Great vid, keep it up!!
Building a model from scrap is truly the Ork way. The Orks would be proud of you!
Agreed, although they’d probably also say that there aren’t nearly enough heavy weapons on it.
@@Shaun_Jones Der ar nevah enuff hevy wepunz...
@oghiewankenobi no worries just add more on the way into battle
Thanks for the shout out Guy!
Thanks for the INSPIRATION you big sexy beast
It’s lovely... in a savage orc way of course. Creating rules for the monstrosity is fab to. Good luck with a new space!
It’s probably already been said before, but if it hasn’t, then: “NEEDS MORE DAKKA!!”
Guy: "I'm gonna make a titan sized Ork Gargant"
Mr. Initiative: *breathing heavily and sweating*....."Yes"
Hahaha, wasn’t expecting a Mr. Initiative joke here, well played
Guy, you really should run a kill team game on top of the gargant. The new rules are pretty light and easy to use, so you could do a fluffy game where a certain individual's ultramarines need to disable all the gargant's weapons before it reaches Imperial lines.
My dad did this a bit over a decade ago. Just took absolutely everything, rhinos, Necron and Tau bits, and built an absolute monstrosity of a little brother. Still have “Otto,” actually. Great stuff Guy
This was one of the reasons I got into Orks in the first place (I was at that 4tk Tournament for Macular Society, you gave me the award for best painted army I recall, one of the best days of my time in warhammer). The sheer absurdity of the things they’ve conjured up and the awesome models they’ve produced, coupled with stuff like THIS beauty, is what I love about Orks.
You know, I was a little bit dubious until you got the gargant pained, but once the paint was on that did the trick and brought all the disparate parts together into one amazing orky whole!
I can't pretend that I have much of a feeling for how superheavy stuff like this is going to play out in 40k, but between it having more wounds than a Warlord titan, shields that effectively grant it extra wounds every turn, its grot riggers and its Ramshackle rule I think it's going to be incredibly tanky despite it having a toughness of "only" 8. Hopefully its orky ballistic skill means it won't be stripping wounds off its opponents at a pace that exceeds the ability of a Warlord to do the same to it, or it could be a bit of an unfair fight!
Finally, congratulations on sorting out a dedicated studio. Now, when is the first Midwinter Minis con going to happen? :-)
Now that's an epic hunk of junk. Congrats on the new space, excited to see future big projects you make!
The purple-sneakheadcanon for this big fella is that they set off in the early morning and it moves so slow, they always end up at the battle in the late afternoon, when the sun/s are setting. The enemy just thinks its a distant cityscape, not paying any mind, until things start exploding
This is so fun! And that metallic dry brush really pulled it together. One suggestion I have is to get your hands on old bicycle chain to use on the Mega Choppa arm. It currently just sticks out oddly. And a chain and gear system would add visual depth and working realism.
I would really like a battle against the WARLORD TITAN
Guy this was great! I've been an ork player for over 10 years now and used to love making scrap vehicles out of cardboard. In more recent years I'm always so critical of my home made models because cardboard and hot glue never look as good as the plasticard, resin or greenstuff you see online. Thank you for reminding me that models are more than their materials - it's the thoughts, ideas and creativity behind making them that count!
Keep up the great work and as a wise warboss once told me, WWWWAAAAAGGHH!!!
Those toy chainsaws were an amazing find! Building it out of literal junk is really on-point. Great job all-around.
8:41 'This bubble no for drinking'
"... We glued the vacuum pipes to the birdcage perch..." That's some quality bitz-spotting. The checker pattern is great, too. Next up, I expect to see potato prints for Orky Ikonz.
I like the out of ammo rule you came up with for the Gatling gun. Twin Flakkatta is a great Orky name.
I think that the rules should include the point that, if it doesn't explode, the Gargant remains on the table and is treated as line-of-sight, and movement blocking.
The giggling baby is adorable; as is the Gargant. I found this a lot more fun than the FW Titan.
Lol I love the cold war between Guy and Emil. Maybe it will one day break into a friendly all out war between Guy's orks and Emil's orks.
This was such a cosy, fun video. I love when the hobby is about spending time with your favourite people and the joy of making things.
About one year ago, I found this video and fell in love warhammer, and this channel. So I just wanted to say, thanks for giving me an addiction to plastic models
Guy: has the biggest and most expensive warhammer model ever made to build.
Also Guy: what if I made another one, from scratch. Everyone needs a friend, right?
What a beautiful display of insanity and inventiveness! And the video build is an absolute delight to follow. Thank you very much for all your efforts.
Cheers boss, this was amazing!
Orks don't think purple is sneaky. That, and the idea of "purple makes them invisible" is an entirely fan-made meme that has been repeated so, so much that some people think it's actually lore. It isn't, it's not actually part of 40k.
Great work on it, though!
Gotta be the most impressive, intuitive, creative, resourceful, and downright fun thing I have ever seen. Congratulations on making this and getting the studio. This is a literal and metaphorical gamechanger.
Mork, or possibly Gork, overseeing the construction bodes well for Cunning Brutality in future fights.
I've been doing backlog golf and looking at this all I can think of is "That still only counts as one"
All hail the Scrap Titan. Ngl, I'll have to steal the walking scrap shanty town idea. That looks wonky and wonderful, and I just happen to have a 14 year old printer that has given up.
I'm honestly proud to be a patreon! Your work is accessible, awesome, and empowering for not just the average hobbiest, but all levels of skill/experience/interest. You've put in the work both with the brush, the camera work and the editing to make this channel as fantastic as it is!! Great work Guy, and keep going, we've got your back!
Yeah, the best way to build that Warlord Titan is to build another titan, amazing administrative skills right there.
For in the 40th millennium
This bubble no for drinking.
I like how many of GW´s massive ork-mechs have giant shooter´s and balls in their private-parts section....... just awesome. Update: 11:40 and 27:58 and seems guy did that too. Double awesome
The idea of a Titan being deployed because a gigantic purple ramshackle walking fortress just kind of APPEARS due to being "stealthed" and starts vomiting orks and bullets onto everything is incredibly funny to me.
I don't play 40k, just enjoy listening to these. This was a lot of fun. I have no idea how you going to top this next with the da boyz!
8:39 -- That (ahem) bubblegun is yet more evidence that the wargames nerds are taking over toy design.
"Brother, what is that Orkish scrap-titan doing?"
* aggressive Gargant loin thrusting *
This is dedication. I can barely find the time or motivation to paint a few models I've had sitting on my desk for weeks. Awesome video though. Keep up the great work.
The second I look at it, one thought comes to mind. "Yep, thats the orks"
Guy has been quickly becoming my favourite creator on TH-cam , but this has to be probably my favourite video ever, in general. This is a fantastic, bombastic, inspiring project! So cool to see your friends all coming to get her to help , and the vision it took to get all that scrap into this gorgeous piece! You’re fantastic guy I hope this does great!
I love stuff like this, big rusty robots for the win! I'd love to see you paint up some stuff from the Modiphius: Wasteland Warefare line. So much detail across all those Fallout pieces, I'd love to see what you could do with those
This is pure awesomness! I especially like that the video is long and not just a 5 min quickshot. This project is amazing. The only thing that grinds my gears is that the choppa hand looks very flimsy and not very articulated. I would imagine that you would want a pretty agile hand to hit your enemies with that weapon. Still a very cool build and video.
Just found your channel when I was looking for info on the Warlord Titan and binged the entire playlist. Now, after watching this video, I can honestly say I am so impressed by your creativity and skill. This thing looks incredible!
Loved this one! Orks are always fun, and inexpensive ways to build big models is always appreciated. Congrats on the office!
Seeing the trumpet evoked memories of going to music school for seven years.
Seven miserable, practice-filled years of music lessons that took away from video game time. Destroying that instrument made me feel just a bit of revenge, so thank you for that.
Could have been worse, the Butt Connectors might have evoked an even more miserable memory.
@@stueyx You weren't there in music school, maybe I would prefer Butt Connector memories to those :'(
:D
This beast runs on imagination and Warlord Titan scraps!
This may just be the very best miniature hobby video I have ever seen! Freakin hilarious, awesome end product, a bit of game rules and wholesome
Very cool creation!
Thanks for walking us through this big project :)
Ghazghkull introducing Makari to da boyz:

Please don’t apologize for the two week gap. We understand the work you put in takes time, plus the fact that you have a family to care for and enjoy with! I know most of us would be ok with the gap if that means we get to see wicked awesome builds like this. Kudos friend!
This is possibly the most satisfying and beautiful thing I've ever seen worked on. You genius! Gork (or Mork) praises you... U Speshul 'umie
I love the fact it's purple, I'm imagining a guardsman boasting to his friends how tough he is whilst having a smoke and they all fall silent when they realise a warehouse with cannons has sneaked up on their position.
I love a good scrap build. For some reason seeing the process is so satisfying
Didn't expect this video to have a dis track in it
Pure 40K creative joy! now we are waiting for the 10k point debut. Thanks Guy😁
You go Guy. As a long-term Ork boy you've stirred my mushrooms with this brilliant project. So good to bring back fun to Orks. Good luck with the move.
This is phenomenal! Ever since listening to Helsreach, I've been wanting to see one of these on the tabletop and yours absolutely does not disappoint. Beautiful work!
Also appreciate a big project like this in a one and dun format rather than, spread out over a ton of episodes 👍
Warlord titan: OUR BATTLE WILL BE LEGENDARY
Damn that’s a freaking cool “mini”, and so happy for you about moving in your new studio
Its so masive he couldn't get any full body shot in any part of the video
I feel your pain, my wife just had our 6th child and my hobby time has vanished! But thankfully your vids are methadone for my plastic crack problem :)
Holy shhhhhiiiiiitttt they must’ve be moonwalking out by the 4th child.
That was awesome. Really inspiring and very creative. Congratulations on the new work space. Looking forward to future videos. Keep up the good work.
This was AMAAAAZZZZZINNNGG!!!! LOVED IT, congrats on being able to branch out into an office, looking forward to watching the vlogs of you setting it all up etc.
Nothing gets more “phallic” than Jeff Bezos’ “rocket”. That would have been perfect to use for bits.
This is amazing! I do have one question with the rules though: Why Open-Topped over Howdah from the Forge World Squiggoth? This thing is so much more massive than that model
I think the whole"Bring my fortress to them" thing is EXACTLY how WarBosses end up with Gargants.
of all things warhammer, this fits the orks well, using junk and scrap to make it was amazing. It's stats and abilities and etc is amazing. I love it
You made a third child.
Also I love how you have a running “beef” with Age of Sigmar
There should be a mechanic that whenever an org gigant (any big machine) kills another gigant it can heal because of scrap from the battlefield.
To balance it maybe roll to risk org units collecting the scrap. Maybe also slight risk to lose health because of bad repairs.
Point is, it would just be cool and fitting, not a useful mechanic.
For some people this looks like great an creative fun, for a guy like me that enjoys painting models and playing with them, this looks like living hell.
guard commanders: I WANT EVERY GUN WE HAVE FIRE ON THAT ENEMY TITAN!
space marines: board the enemy mech and attack cut it apart
mechanicus: *binaric screech*
I read that wrong the first time and thought it said i will scrap the titan
The brush saying "suitable for vegans" frelling merced me.
Edit - Now organize a fight with someone for ten thousand points with this thing and your Orks vs your opponent. And by someone, I of course mean Winters SEO. Fear the Darkness and the Dying of the Light with the 13th, Penitent Forge, the Gray Knights, and his new Dark Angels will mince this glorious monstrosity.
This video is a master-piece I love it. It's amazing! The painting, the process... ALL OF IT. Just amazing.
Waaaghhh SO COOL!!! Congrats on the new office, lookin forward to the grand tour!
Yeah, It's pretty big..
I thought I might find you here...
Congratulations on the new space! I enjoy all of your videos. Thank you for all the help you have given me.
I love how you have this grimdark music over what is clearly a very wholesome family activity :) your dog looks like a great assistant!
I think its fucking AWESOME that a lot of great builders like you are Recycling all this junk and making it into something badass! You all rule!
With the Great Unclean One project in the works, I’d love to see a series where you guys just give every faction a Warlord Titan equivalent!
Congrats on the new workplace, Guy! And the build was amazing! One of a kind definitely
This is amazing!
You gave me nostalgic flashbacks of my earlier days of WH. When i used 3D pen and a bunch of scrap to build an epic stompa.
(It was supposed to be a heavy stompa, but as i added more stuff onto it, it tuned into light to mid gargant withou a bely gun)
It’s not much to look at now, but it was pretty cool when it was done.
I also love the belly buster rules!
Being basically a Yamato canon from star craft mounted onto a ork mech!
