Description

As a long fanatic admirer as science-fiction, fan of the Warhammer 40.000 property and fascination of large robotics, I aimed to recreate the infamous bipedal mecha's of the Warhammer 40K.
These projects were an initialization into Blender, as I had recently switched from Cinema 4D to Blender.

Throughout the projects I expanded my understanding and grasp of the softwares and technique, being able to transfer my understanding and skills from one software to another. Although meticulous, I thoroughly enjoyed its process to maintain an efficient topology, low-poly for performance as well as rich texture sets to emulate photo-realistic reality.

The Imperial Knight

The Imperial Knights are piloted robotic walkers of small to medium size in the service of the Imperium and sometimes the Adeptus Mechanicus.
Each Knight is piloted by a single Human warrior drawn from an ancient feudal aristocratic culture that stretches across the galaxy.

These ancient battlesuits stand thirty to forty feet (9 to 12 metres) tall, are protected by nearly impenetrable Ion Shields and armed with a devastating array of heavy weapons. Imperial Knights are colossal war machines that tower over the battlefield.

The Warhound Titan

The Warhound Titan, despite being a class of Scout Titan, is still an immense war machine that stands 17.08 metres (approx. 56 feet) tall.
On the battlefield, the Warhound has been proven to be very effective, as the double-barrelled Turbolaser Destructor which it is now possible to mount on a Warhound-class chassis can destroy even super-heavy armoured vehicles with ease.

When they are deployed against other Titans, Warhound Titans use their superior speed and manoeuvrability to avoid enemy weapons fire. They also make use of pack-oriented techniques to destroy enemy Titans, and there are some instances where lone Warhound Titans have defeated heavier classes.

The Reaver Titan

Amongst the honoured ranks of the Collegia Titanica the Reaver, like its larger counterparts, is regarded as a sacred engine of destruction, an incarnation of the power of the Machine God, thrice-blessed by the Tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus before striding into battle.

Reavers are of an ancient design, predating even the Age of the Imperium and having seen action on Mars during the battles of the Age of Strife when the ancient Mechanicum first seized control of the sacred surface of the Red Planet from mutants and Warp-maddened automata.

Khornate Bloodthirster Daemon

A Bloodthirster, also called a "Fist of Khorne" a "Guardian of the Throne" and a "Blooded One" is a Greater Daemon of Khorne, and each is a manifestation of the unreasoning rage and savagery of total war.

It is said that there are no more powerful masters of battle in the entire galaxy than the Greater Daemons of the Blood God and that none may stand before them. They are the very essence of brutality, every blow ever struck and life ever taken in anger distilled into a single, towering form of iron and sinew.
