Warlord Battle Titan - The Exodite

This mechanical behemoth was needed for the big battle scenes in the Warhammer+ animated series "The Exodite" and I was tasked with modelling and texturing it.

Usually when you convert a plastic miniature into something that imitates full-scale realism, you need to do some detail additions and proportion changes. In this case, however, the original Games Workshop model is so detailed and lifelike that I only added a few bits of surface greebling here and there, while otherwise sticking 1:1 to the tabletop version. I went into this project knowing that the asset would mostly be seen from wide and medium shots, so I cheated with the level of detail here and there, mostly in the form of liberally using normal map details in place of geometry. The final paint scheme carries the colors of the War Griffons titan legion, as depicted in the rulebooks of Adeptus Titanicus and Horus Heresy.

This model, with all its pistons and cables and gears, was meticulously rigged by https://www.artstation.com/kazeshini5
