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!

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.

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
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.

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.
It’s probably already been said before, but if it hasn’t, then: “NEEDS MORE DAKKA!!”
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
Now that's an epic hunk of junk. Congrats on the new space, excited to see future big projects you make!
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? :-)
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!
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
"... 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.
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.
Guy has been quickly becoming my favourite creator on KZread , 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!
Those toy chainsaws were an amazing find! Building it out of literal junk is really on-point. Great job all-around.
Mork, or possibly Gork, overseeing the construction bodes well for Cunning Brutality in future fights.
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.
Loved this one! Orks are always fun, and inexpensive ways to build big models is always appreciated. Congrats on the office!
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

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
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.
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
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.
That was awesome. Really inspiring and very creative. Congratulations on the new work space. Looking forward to future videos. Keep up the good work.
Very cool creation! Thanks for walking us through this big project :)
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 *

I love how you have this grimdark music over what is clearly a very wholesome family activity :) your dog looks like a great assistant!
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.
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.
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.

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!
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 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!
Man, I can't come up with another word for it, seeing this just made me feel really proud. Great work Guy. Exceptional stuff.
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
Nothing gets more “phallic” than Jeff Bezos’ “rocket”. That would have been perfect to use for bits.

This project is absolutely bonkers and a true joy to watch come together!
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.
Yeah, It's pretty big..
