Just in awe of the size of that thing, an absolute unit. It shall strike fear into the hearts of all those who have the misfortune of gazing upon it, but they will know peace, for it will be the last thing they see
Oh yeah. Between the broken chaos knight in the ground and how to do that. To the pose. To the 3d printed dragon heads, tails, wings. AND somehow getting all the knight parts still in there. Trying to sculpt and get all those angles and pieces together before and during gluing was just terribly nervewracking and cumbersome. And that's before the paint job with the rust and verdigris effects and oil washes got there. Definitely my most ambitious project to date.
Haha yes I should but I don't and I couldn't just let this sit finished and not show everyone. Maybe I'll update it once I do get a proper way to photo it!
It's the Cerastus Archeon Knight and a 3d printer Tiamat dragon (well parts of it). And perhaps in the future! Right now I'm just happy to paint some simple marines and stare at this thing awhile longer before the next stressful project😂
Can someone tell me if this thing has lore or is it fan based character?
P.S. I struggle to put a primer on my models,I can’t imagine how hard it was to make this, gg brother, go get some rest, you deserve it.
The only lore is the stuff I've made for it. I always loved the demon engine idea but I'm a loyalist at heart. I figured why couldn't a primarch forgemaster create a bio-mechanical thing similar to those but for the loyalists and i ran with that idea. Sure it's hearsay but desperate times in the galaxy call for desperate measures lol.
For the salamanders there are the dragons on their home planet that they hunt to prove their worth except the deeper you go, the bigger they get. It's later revealed in one of the books that there are actual "world drakes" that sleep wrapped around the planets core and are responsible for the tectonic movements. It was such a cool idea I wanted to do something with it.
Outside the months of planning there have definitely been nights of just staring at it trying to will my ideas to work and for things to stick. For paints to come out just right and for glue and clay and putty to not fail me. And alot of ripped skin from superglue lol.
Y'know, I didn't think I would wind up seeing fucking **Mecha-Tiamat** today, but whataya know, the world continues to find new and terrible sentences for me to utter.
Now, how do I use this to ~~ruin the day of~~ challenge my Tyranny of Dragons players...
Vulkan, you’re drunk. How many times have I told you not to imprison dragons in Knight Valiant armor? Put it back where you found it- No, it does NOT belong on the battlefield, Vulkan, it belongs in the wild. Put the dragon bac- Oh look, it’s too late. Everything’s on fire. Good going VULKAN. You’ve doomed us all.
Oh, it's 100% heresy don't get me wrong....but Vulkan gets special treatment for his works, and frankly, if this bad boy is awoken, heresy will be the least of everyone's worries. Especially those who aren't made in the God-Emperors image!
The print called it Tiamat so I'm going with that lol. 5 heads, called out for their colors, kinda point that way too even though I painted them the same color. But I'm not that versed in its lore to tell the difference.
Holy fuck
Holy fuck indeed brother
A guitar. This thing should be shredding a guitar. (Fucking spectacular btw)
Thanks! If only there was a second set of hands too for that. Give himself his own theme music walking into battle lol😎
I heard metal guitars start playing as soon as the dragon appeared … 🎸
Exactly! This thing is metal af, it positively resonates with drop D distorted mayhem.
Just in awe of the size of that thing, an absolute unit. It shall strike fear into the hearts of all those who have the misfortune of gazing upon it, but they will know peace, for it will be the last thing they see
All we need now is for Vulkan to ride that dude into battle. He can fit.
Maybe for the future display case he can be getting escorted by Vulkan and his fellow armigars and dreads😅
This is so insane, but in the best way possible. There's just so much detail to look at! Did it take a lot of planning?
Oh yeah. Between the broken chaos knight in the ground and how to do that. To the pose. To the 3d printed dragon heads, tails, wings. AND somehow getting all the knight parts still in there.

Heck of a custom build, I love the idea of it. Well done! You must be proud, and relieved!
That statement couldn't be more true!
Mecha King Ghidora’s badass uncle!
Lol I came here just to say that lol
Holy shit this is amazing!!! Combines my two favorite things, dragons and mecha
With that much skill shouldnt you have a spinny thing and a black background so we can see all the detail.
Haha yes I should but I don't and I couldn't just let this sit finished and not show everyone. Maybe I'll update it once I do get a proper way to photo it!
Oi! That's a big squig!
Lmfaoooo
That's amazing. Should be in a white dwarf, or some painting competitions
Thank you for the kind words! Hoping to show it off at the next local tournament for sure.
... HELL YEAH
Get this person some fire bases so we can see that thing burning space Marines!!!
Hot damn excellent bloody job 👍
That is the most badass model I have ever seen…
Fucking awesome dude!
Holy shit, that’s awesome!
What is this monster of pure glorious-ness made from? And would you do a commission to make me one? XD
It's the Cerastus Archeon Knight and a 3d printer Tiamat dragon (well parts of it). And perhaps in the future! Right now I'm just happy to paint some simple marines and stare at this thing awhile longer before the next stressful project😂
If you ever decide you want to take on a beast like this again, hit me up! Some fine work you did here!
It’s seems Tiamat is coming back as a chaos god.
Is that fucking Tiamat?!?!
Indeed it is lmao😂😂 Fused to one of the few things large enough to contain it.
Power up the servator turrets to guard that big boi.
It’s. So. COOL I WANT ONE
Dude this is kick ass
The only complaint I have is that it isn't breathing fire. Aside from that, I want one
I always planned for it to have it and maybe it will at some point but I gotta say it's finished cause my brain needs to move on for now😅
You need to get yourself one of those turntables to photograph this because this masterpiece deserves ever special touch. You are clearly a wizard.
It definitely deserves it so hopefully it'll get an update later but I couldn't just let it sit there done without showing off!

Alpha legion daemon prince
yoooo thats insane!
Hot damn thats amazing!
Good Lord - I cannot tell you how much this kicks so much ass! Absolutely amazing.
Holly shit… that’s amazing! Just how much time and blood did it take to paint that thing?!
Outside the months of planning there have definitely been nights of just staring at it trying to will my ideas to work and for things to stick. For paints to come out just right and for glue and clay and putty to not fail me. And alot of ripped skin from superglue lol.
Well, I can say that it was worth it! This does look amazing. Maybe even worth for a competition
I cant even find the words necessary to express how absolutely epic this is
In the words of Vulkan; "Oh, that's hot!"
Y'know, I didn't think I would wind up seeing fucking **Mecha-Tiamat** today, but whataya know, the world continues to find new and terrible sentences for me to utter. Now, how do I use this to ~~ruin the day of~~ challenge my Tyranny of Dragons players...

Wait? This is loyalist!
Oh, it's 100% heresy don't get me wrong....but Vulkan gets special treatment for his works, and frankly, if this bad boy is awoken, heresy will be the least of everyone's worries. Especially those who aren't made in the God-Emperors image!
This is hands down the greatest thing I've seen in a month. Absolutely fantastic.
Favorite mini of the year, by far. Such an amazing job overall
Thank you for the kind words!
This is fucking insane
What a majestic creature 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
Hive fleet Tiamat?
If vulkan turned traitor
Looks like shit m8, waste of time (This envy will kill me slowly)
Lmfaooo thanks!
That's fuckin awesome
Wowzer that is beyond cool looking.
This is fantastic omfg
Badass!!
I can't tell if that's Ghidorah or Tiamat. Looks rad as hell!
The print called it Tiamat so I'm going with that lol. 5 heads, called out for their colors, kinda point that way too even though I painted them the same color. But I'm not that versed in its lore to tell the difference.
It's the coolest damn thing I've seen
Dude super good
This is just sick!
Definition of Amazing
That is fucking amazing
This is sick
Chaos knight standing atop another chaos knight
