Here are some nice pics that show the model to scale. It’s BIG. It has a commander in a Tau suit nestled inside the cockpit as well, and he is removable (mostly just for painting. . . he’s in a static pose).
The model is posed in “leap/flight/jetpack” mode, and has a brass rod for elevation. I covered up the base since that is unfinished and not really important for the competition.
We do have both twin mega railgun and mega railgun+mega burst cannon options, with mega-missiles as well, so we have some flexibility in armament.
It has made a few appearances in apocalypse games before it was finished, and we were running it as a counts-as warhound with gatling blaster and turbolaser destructor, and the turbojets counting as the warhound bounding leap.
Check out the rest of the pics below. Ill try to have another entry posted up shortly for everyone to checkout.

Bio: Virginia restless, miniature painter & cat dad. He blames LEGOs for all this, as there was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all. Spikey Bits sprung from Rob staying motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects, while sharing his knowledge with others during the early blogging era.
LEGO maniac and scale model hobbyist in the 80s turned miniature wargamer and trading card player ever since. He’s played every edition of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy (since 5th Edition), but Titans of all sizes will always be his favorite! It’s even rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of pewter and resin.
