That trapezoidal carapace design, the hexagonal Apoc Rocket Pod (shades of the Armorcast original) and reminding me of that (Surinam toad no I won't include pictures of that again you can google it if you have the stomach. We've all seen them beautifully rendered scratchbuilt Lucius Pattern Reavers that faithfully mimic the arms and armament of the Mars product but somehow they leave me cold. Really bad concept art Blackadder but it does convey the intent. There will be a short snouted appearance reminiscent of the Warhound not apparent in the front view

So my design will be that middle ground and be domed, not the flattish pancake head of the FW model: I think the head of the titans should be reminiscent of each other and sort of morph in shape from Warhound to Reaver to Warlord evolve if you will.

The first order of business is to design a new helmet shape for the FW Reaver cockpit. I intend to remodel the armour in a Lucius vein much as the Lucius Warhound carapace completely departs from the Mars Pattern carapace. This gives the titan a sloped shoulder hunchbacked appearance that connotes weakness to my jaundiced eye. My biggest fault with the Lucius pattern attempts at the Reaver is trying to duplicate the contours of the Mars Pattern with slabs of plasticard. Let me begin by stating that the Reaver is my second least favorite titan I see no need for it. And before you ask, 'No I don't do commissions!' however if anyone is inclined to follow along with this thread and build their own armour components they are welcome and I will answer any questions as we proceed. Yes before anyone quips that I am crazy (but in a good way) let me acknowledge the fact.Īnyway I have been posed the problem of designing (And building) armour for a FW Mars Pattern Reaver à la mode Lucius Pattern.
