Paint it up in your Ork paint scheme. Add some bits that look like scrap metal, some boys to the platform on the back and put some snotlings on the point defense weapons Make it look like they're operating them. And just claim that it was an Ork looted Titan.

Absolutely go for the midwinter logo scheme! This titan is a huge achievement and a milestone for the channel and should 100% represent that!
The Titan build is really gathering steam now. Also, that Steve seems a good bloke 👍
Still impressed that you magnetised that chunky boy last time. Be careful moving though metal doorways to not get stuck there with those immense magnets. ;) Regarding the super glue fingers: I actually started to file the glue from my fingers with a super fine file. Nice and smooth fingers afterwards. And perfectly prepared for a heist without leaving finger prints.

You could always make this Titan one of those really intricate ones with designs, heraldry , writing and "scenes" on all of the different panels. That would just put it on the next level
Personally I'd probably use the ice blue for an energy color. As in trying to make a glow effect on whatever parts might seem like it would work with. But that's just my opinion. I'm sure however you paint it will come out awesome. Definitely looking forward to seeing this thing fully built.
"No sooner had I got all my bits out to ready and waiting, my mate Steve dropped by to give me a hand" I see what you did there Guy haha.
Steve appears to be Mini-Guy, or Mini-Midwinter-Minis. Those knights of his look very lush. This project is looking amazing. Maybe Guy will get it finished before Scratch Bashing finishes his scratch built Imperator Titan.

@andrewamann2821

Articulation comes with some pretty sizable tradeoffs, especially when you're casting all of your parts in silicone molds. Concave right angles can, and frequently do, cause some pretty notable tear out issues, for instance, doubly so if you're trying to manage a hole that's deeper than it is wide. Unlike styrene, which is cast in a natively rigid mold, silicone resin molds will flex, if not properly designed, under the weight of the resin being poured into it. There are ways to compensate, but resin casting in a silicone mold isn't nearly as precise as you would need it to be to accomplish reasonable articulation.

@@mortisCZ you're not wrong about the bulk production part of GW's plastic... That's done with a simple (in theory, the finer points of engineering a copper-alloy mold can be a bit tricky, putting aside material cost, the labor to produce that first mold is gonna be pricey...) injection molding setup. That said, ForgeWorld has never been a particularly large-volume operation, and epoxy resin just doesn't spin cast (standard method for pewter and white metal models... and finecast...) very well. As far as being a professional, I'm really not one, either, I'm just a scutwork monkey in an engineering department, with a curiosity about how things are made, and a habit of asking the right questions of the right people, when I happen to cross paths with them.
Using Allen head screws instead of drywall screws makes it look so much more realistic. If you see them you can pass it off as a massive bolt meant to hold things together instead of "hey look it's a drywall screw" because big ships and stuff do actually have massive Allen head screws holding things together at times.
I cannot wait to see this thing all painted up!

I propose that you paint it like your Black Legion/Death Guard scheme. It would fit really well with your army.
A black base coat with blue surfaces and white details would look amazing. The blue will shine amazingly.
As an American I will never get tired of listening to you pronounce Beta as Bee-ta. Thank you so much for all the great content. I watch and enjoy every video.
I've seen Steve's Knight army on Reddit. Very impressive.
The Audible recommendation sounds good! But I feel the need to give a PSA that Dan Abnetts 'Titanicus' is on audible now and it's hands down the best Titan book out there and will make anyone hyped to get into Titans themselves.
That dip painting idea for the missiles on the sprue: IQ 200 moment!
For long term maintenance, it might be worthwhile to magnetize all the armour plating? That way if you ever need to do any touchup it's pretty easy, and it also lets you take a peek and show off the work underneath :)
I could totally see a winter theme on the titan with snow flakes either freehanded or with a stencil applied.. Would look pretty awesome!
This was a good video, and I think you should do the channel logo on the titan.
Gonna need ODM gear for that one
You could buy decal printer paper and make your own transfers of the names. That way you can scale it appropriately. I've never used the stuff but I'm aware it can be good. For scheme I feel the logo scheme is the most fitting.
It's been fantastic seeing this all come together, it's weirdly blended two of my favourite video types together, warhammer and tool restoration videos
Eons of Battle recently uploaded a video building and painting an imperial knight. In the painting section he used black and white primer to pre shade/highlight the panels then proceeded to glaze with he desire color combination, this achieve a very good final color without an overwhelming amount of blending I really suggest you give it a watch just in case you didn't know about this technique. Anyway back and teal (or light blue teal) really work well, however you may need to consider the metallic trim in the armour first (if you're gonna paint it like that) to then decide your color wheel.one of the most striking features though is usually the diamond/stripes pattern usually seen in this titans and that requires stencils for sure, hope this helped a little bit at least.
I think painting it the same colors as Steve's titans and knight army would be really cool, so you could have them all together as one legion.
Steve gotta be a God. Man brought coffee and a smile.
Been a lurker for a while now, but I would recommend that you also add some small hanging sheilds or banners from the Titan's pauldrons. Paint scheme should be the Midwinter minis color palette and silver. Do the regular steel, copper, and greys for the main part's on the body, but make the armor panels have silver edges, the leg panels black and blue in a pattern of your choice, and the shoulder armor be the blue, rest of the armor black, and the head white.
A warm black with a blue ice patters like the ones you would see on a frozen window and some white trim would be perfect for a symbolic paint job and maybe put some snowflake designs on them
I'd suggest a heraldry that could have something to do with WINTER e.g. cold blues on some sections. Maybe half of the armour panel is a cold blue, mayhap with an ice effect and a white/black for the other half, maybe even quartering them. Also, the banner could be a Midwinter Minis symbol and then the names of the patreon supporters.

Oh man I hope plastic titans are coming! What a great prediction
Where are the carbon rods from, I need some for my big knights! Love this series. I may never get my own titan but living vicariously through you is the next best thing.
I love the idea of snow being Incorporated somehow you are MIDWINTER minis afterall
I cannot understate how inspirational these videos are for getting into those bags and tackling the resin monsters.
Thank you , Guy . 🐺
Beautiful work, dude! Your friend Steve needs an Adeptus Mechanicus title of some sort, as he seems to be your trusted Enginseer!
Love the idea of the Midwinter Minis theme for the paint scheme. Perhaps paint an Adeptus Titanicus Warlord with the scheme?
what great timing! I was just rewatching the rest of the series

Love the color idea, can’t wait!
definitely make a black and white artpiece of the Warlord Titan and use it like a coloring book to test color schemes on, that way you will have a solid plan before you even take a brush to this monstrosity. Also it will make it feel less daunting when all the decisions have all ready been made ♥

watching you build this thing over the last year has been great. It has made me change my mind about possibly building one, one day.
'It's my table. I'll do what I want' is a motto that i apply to a wide range of household objects.
Thanks for the rec on Assassinorum. I just finished reading Nemesis (Horus Heresy #13), which is also a multi-disciplinary assassin team, and it was quite good.
I gave up trying not to get glue on my fingers a long time ago… Great video Guy! Excited to see more, keep up the good work!
This has been a great experience watching you build this monster.
There's a crafting tool called a Cricut or a Silhouette that cuts vinyl in small scale to make your own transfers/masking stencils - so doing your patreon user's name would just be a task of base coating - putting the vinyl (in your preferred font and size) onto the model - and airbrushing over the vinyl then peeling it off revealing your base coat colors.
Ooo that would be so cool. I love titans and knights so getting some in plastic would be awesome.
What a monster of a model. Cant wait to see the final product.
As everyone else in the comments is saying, Black, White and Pale Blue! Gotta be the Finest Knight of House Midwinter

looking good so far
Another welcome installment!
What a beast that thing is. So much work to complete it 😁 Love it!
To make the arms easily changeable without using magnets, you couldve installed a nut and washer inside the upper arm joint and then run a bolt supported by a large washer through the shoulder portion. Then magnetize the shoulder armor pieces so you can easily access the bolt. Bonus perk of bolting it together, is you can loosen the bolt, adjust the angle to a desired position, and then tighten it in place. Or leave it slightly loose so the arms can turn 🤷♂️
Looking forward to when you build the Titan you and your family are finally going to settle down in.
I like the idea of white panels, blue trim, and black machinery/innards (the stuff the panels go over).
Steve, what a legend
Wishing you a swift recovery from your cold Guy!
I'll never be able to afford this, but thanks for letting me come along on this journey
You should really go for a winter scheme of cold whites and blues for the Titan, would fit into the theme of Midwinter Minis
Blimey flip! That's huge 😱

A book featuring the various assassins vs the inner workings of knight households....yes please ! Currently repainting the plasma coils on the sunfury annihilator as my first attempt was good but i can do better.

The drywall screw is a great idea on parts like that. Have 2 warhounds and 1 reaver. Thought maybe one more big one but so many parts and time could be an issue
