The front of the normal War Walker cockpit was blended into the Titan cockpit. This headrest came from the standard War Walker kit. Converted War Walker squadron commander cockpit
1. The War Walker's cockpit received the most attention; it is based around a cut-down Revenant Titan cockpit. The pilot, Sevareil Focul, controls his War Walker entirely with his mind.

Plasticard was used to create some detailing. I used Green Stuff to fill in the rear of the cockpit. Rear view of converted War Walker squadron commander cockpit

This area of detail was filled in and smoothed over to provide a subtle difference from the regular War Walkers. These targeters came from the Exarch's shuriken catapults in the Dire Avenger set. This sensor pod was originally part of the gunner's console on an Eldar Vyper. Top hull of converted War Walker squadron commander

This vane was extended using the barrel of a Bright Lance. The heads from the statues that are included in the Dire Avenger set provide extra detail on the legs. The tops of these vanes were replaced with these decorative Eagles, which were originally horns from the High Elf Archer set. Converted War Walker squadron commander legs
5. The legs and lower hull of the War Walker. I was aiming for a more decorative, ornate look to reflect Sevareil's seniority compared to regular War Walker pilots.

The elongated barrel is from the Forge World Firestorm kit. This small area of detail was filled in with Green Stuff. Due to the length of the barrel, three magnets were needed to hold the weapon in place instead of two. This piece was taken from the other type of Scatter Laser that is used on Falcon, Vyper and Wave Serpent turrets. This protruding piece was originally on the rear of the gun; I used it to replace the smaller piece to give an impression of the Scatter Laser's uprated power. Scatter Laser comparison
8. Sevariel Focul's personal War Walker uses upgraded Scatter Lasers; here's one compared with a standard Scatter Laser.
