1 i got the building plans for the lucius pattern warhound. are these good?
Whos templates are those? If its Lack0f's templates they are good, if not I don't know
2 any advice on how i should start?
Begin with the body, make the legs when you know how sturdy they have to be.
3 how much plasticard goes into these things?
I have use 3 packs of Evergreen 0,5mm, some 0,75mm and some 0,4mm. Not quite done yet, but that should be plenty.
Hope this is helpfull.

you are stupid bram. If you make a poll that asks whether you should build a titan, well i think people are going to say yes :P
Seriously though, go for it. Even if it doesnt work and fails, you will gain some invaluable plasticard experience.

To Answer your PM when i made my titan i think i used about 4 Square Feet of the thick plasticard and probably about 1 SF of the thin stuff for details.
