Renegade Knight Titan #1
Yup. I caved. Two (2) Knight Titans and a piece of scenery for the price of a single Knight Titan box? That equation was just too tempting and a bit of a no-brainer.
So what do I intend on doing? A Vlka Fenryka (Space Wolves) Knight Titan, of course, and a Traitor Renegade Knight Titan. I started with working through how to magnetize/modularise the weapons, starting with the Avenger Gatling Cannon.
"Why this one first?" I hear you ask. Well, I figure, regardless of whatever Knight I start building, I will be using this puppy. The Renegade can carry dual Avenger Gatling Cannons, And I want the option to swap out this, if I want to use a Meltagun or Battle Cannon.
So enough with the talking, what did I do?
First I assembled the receiver end, or arm end of the weapon. Interestingly, I inserted some styrene telescopic tubing into this side, and butted the large diameter piping up against the far rear cap (the one with the Mechanicum skull), whilst I was assembling the arm.I glued a few short pieces to the outside of the pipe to bulk it out and fit snuggly into the aperture.
Next up, I initally added the smaller diameter pipe into the back of the Avenger Gatling Cannon. I found that it fit better, if I pushed some larger diameter tubing in first. The larger diameter was a tight tolerance fit, so it made it easier to centre the smaller diameter tube into this when gluing.
And this is the Cannon seated to the arm receiver.
Now it's off to get cleaned, prep'd and washed, ready for painting.

This is what it looked like when I lined the two sides up.
