Initially I wouldn't recommend it, but I've been coming around to the idea that you should start with the first three Horus Heresy novels, because the event is so foundational to the rest of 40K.
I by no means recommend someone then go on to the other 60 books in the series, but Horus Rising, False Gods, and Galaxy In Flames provide so much background and context to what comes after.

New Case, Who Dis?
So after hearing about those Jucoci miniature transport cases for so long, I finally saw one in the wild, and I must say they look very nice. All this to say, I now own a case that can actually hold a Chaos Knight army without playing Tetris to keep all the spikes from tearing each other apart.

@GrymEdm
Haha thanks! I'm terrified to think what this would cost if there was an actual Forge World model at this scale, but so far it's not bad - 5 spools of PLA for the FDM printer and I'm on the 4th bottle of resin for the detail parts.
Titanic Torso!
The titan's torso is assembled enough to get a glimpse at the final product and he's HUGE! For reference, the can of Zandri Dust spray primer is 7.75" tall and that chainsword is 14.75" long from tip of blade to bottom of powercell. This guy is a towering 22.5" tall and he doesn't even have his carapace armor, guns, or void shields on yet!

@setsneedtofeed @jontree255
Fully agree on both points!
Contrast paint is a game changer, I love sponging it over a base metallic to get a really nice "aged metal" look on large panels.
Porphyrion Prepared
If you've never seen one before, here's an Acastus Knight Porphyrion fresh out of cleaning bath to remove the mold release. This is going to be a big boy. That one hull chunk on the right is larger than the entire upper carapace of a Questoris/Abominant class knight, larger than a Cerastus as well by the look of it. This is why I haven't posted Titan progress lately.

Khorne Daemon Allies
Taking a break from the Titan (not really, the epoxy is just drying) to paint something a little different. So I went ahead and painted up a couple Khorne Daemons to be allies, starting with two characters. These were fun to do and were relatively quick to paint. I'm especially proud of the Skullmaster's sword.

@fleabomber
I'm glad that I've received so much positive feedback from the community. Next week's update I'll hopefully have some solid progress on assembling the torso.
@ALostInquirer
Possibly a hamster, but given that lab rats love driving cars it might be nice to give one of them a chance.
These Foots Are Made For Stompin'
And that's just what they'll do.
Weekly progress update on the Warmaster Titan! The legs are fully assembled and posed. This is a BIG model. I'm fairly sure the sizing is within an acceptable margin of error based off the height chart GW put out. Especially given that the Knight has a waist extender giving it a bit more height.

@erikcats @warhammer40k
Glad you're enjoying it! I'll keep posting project updates as I reach milestones. Next one will be when the legs are fully together with the pelvis.
And believe it or not, completely sober when I made this crazy decision!
@Smbreiland @warhammer40k
Somewhere between 2.5 and 3 feet most likely. I'll get a full measurement once the torso is complete. I'm working on posing and epoxying the legs right now.
The Forges Move Forward
While the Warmaster Titan's torso starts on the printer, it is time that I begin posing the legs. I had to get creative with how I tightened it down to keep the Gorilla Glue's expansion from moving it out of the pose I wanted. This guy is BIG as seen by the the Bloodmaster by its foot.

Crushed Crates
Hey there #WarhammerCommunity, I'm trying to make some basing for my titan and I need opinions. I 3d-printed these and then placed a sledgehammer on top before heating to simulate a crushed effect under the tread of the titan. Does it work or should I go for more?

Crisis Suits Incoming!
Since the Titan project eats up so much of the printer time, I have time to finish up some other projects that I've had sitting around. Here's a set of 3 Crisis Suit proxies that I'm printing for the group's T'au player.

A "little" Update on the Titan
One spool of filament down and we're up to the knees on the Warmaster Iconoclast. From the base of the foot to the top of the knee joint is 8.5 inches, so this is going to be a big one when it's done. Currently printing the thighs, which are a 25 hour print-job. Next update in a few days!

Can't properly call yourself a Khorne devotee without a suitable offering of skulls.
