Banelord - Khorne Warlord Titan Project - Part 3
 Proof of life... or Fall has come and the spirit is motivated. I think one of the reasons for the delay, besides life getting in the way, is I haven't been listening to the right music. While my work will never grace the halls of any museum all of us miniature crafters are, to a degree, artists. For me music plays a huge influence on my creations. Song names and lyrics are always bouncing through my mind steering my designs. Well after a dispute with a bunch of readers as to who was better GWAR or Lordi. I got pretty fed up with some idiot responses and went 100% Johnny Cash all summer. Now Johnny is wonderfully dark, BUT doesn't inspire my creativity. For me you play songs like "The man comes around" when you put your newly built Warlord Titan on the battlefield to demoralize your enemies. So now I've bust back out the GWAR and Lordi albums and the blood is flowing, the gears are turning and I'm actually turning out some progress.
Fall is also one of my absolutely favorite times of the y ear. I can work all day late into the night in the cool autumn air of Wisconsin. That totally beats the 90+ degree temps with nearly 100% humidity in Summer. Also the bugs are getting ready for their Winter naps. Nice! So today I cut out the legs and pelvis of the Titan. Tomorrow I'll cut out the feet, leg armor and torso parts. I have kind of come to a sticking point in if it will actually be a Banelord Titan. The number one reason is that it can go, due to it's insane nature, bat-shit nuts and charge the enemy. Other times it will go into a fire-frenzy possibly shooting my own troops. That's fine when a ED-209-sized dreadnought does that. OK fine might be strong, but it's not like having a ten-story tall million-ton death dealer with insta-kill weapons deciding to have a hissy fit amongst my own forces. So I'm either go to make it so I can swap parts or just switch to the Warlord pattern and skip making the psycho version. At least for my army. If some one wants me to build them a crazy Titan it's their choice.
