Was noticing in army builder a thing called a emperor titan. Where is one and is 4000 points a good price for it?
I noticed this sweet heavy 15 gun on it and I can take like 6 of em or this like 10' blast that was like a heavy 10 or something like that blast.

Oh, 4000 points is probably about right... you're going to have to build your own though:



And you might need a kid's car seat to get it to and from games.

This, This is an emperor titan. I'm pretty sure this is custom made and no one sells models for it
Seriously, that could pass as a battle robot. It is the definition of over kill and unfairness.

Or better yet. just put some armor on your kid and say its a titan. That what i did with my cousins baby.
My opponent still hasnt forgiven me for all the broken models.

Wow those are both way out of scale.



This is the original source material for the emperor titan. The one in the other pictures look twice as big. I warhound should come up just past the emperors knees. In those pictures the warhoud would barley reach the bottom of the shin guard.

Once you get past 3 feet tall scale may not matter.

Well except for practicality and transportation.

They aren't that out of scale...

Are you kidding that one is taller than a person? It should be approximately three warhound titans tall. Even that smaller one is about four reavers tall.

When I compare them to the Epic Warhound or the Epic Infantry they look fine scaled to me, altough there is no Warhound on the 40k scale Titan pictures.

Well, on the Epic pictures, the infantry seems to fit roughly into a single level of the little cathedral on the Titan's shoulders. On the big picture, that building is so massively oversized you could stack three infantry models on top of each other until you reach the next level.

There are no warhounds in the picture, but you can estimate. That one emperor has to be 8 feet tall, the other one is a bit more difficult but I'm gonna go about 5-6 feet on that one! If by scaled fine you mean "Fine" as in "Finecast" which means flawed, then yes you are correct. I don't know about you, but I've never seen as 3 foot warhound.

Is that warhound larger than all those reavers?

The reavers come up to the emperors knees.

These aren't Reavers but Knights.

These links are from 1D4chan and are suprisingly not far from the truth, note* NSFW you have been warnd so don't come craying to me if your boss finds you looking at them

My roommate has a warlord titan the 1 just under emperor i have faced it twice. I have lost twice to the pie plates it can lay down.

The old Codex: Titanicus Legions book describes an Emperor Class as being 50 meters tall. fyi.

Since the Epic days the size of Titans has gone up though. Epic made them big, but not monstrously big because they still needed to play them alongside infantry/vehicles/etc.. Now that epic is on its way out for all intensive purposes, combined with large Forgeworld Titans like the Warhound, Titans have gotten a size boost.

Not really. Forgeworld Reavers and warhounds are not out of proportion compared to the old epic stuff. If anything the forgeworld warhound is a bit smallish.

Is an emperor titan safe to be inside? How often are they destroyed? I mean if there was any place on the battlefield to be safe inside of and a place where there could be a dinning room or anything of civilian safty etc. Would the emperor titan be it?

It's unlikely it would have a dning room...
But if there was going to be anywhere safe in an Imperial war front then an Imperator Titan would be it... though you'd be a massive target...

Let's put it this way, it's safer than being on the other side of the Emperor Titan.

Pretty much anything is safer than that...

I have faced one in a 5k per side apocalypse event about 12 months ago. My eldar force wasted it in a single turn of combat.

Tabled him in 45 mins total.

He said the tactic we used was very clever (involved flank march and my phantom titan) but in a straight up fight we would never do it... so we played again... and did it the old fashioned (and much harder) way.

That is in the window of the Manchester UK store. I think the manager built it, with help from other people. It looks good, and has lighting effects.

This is the only realistic way of beating one. Flank march something big and scary behind it at close range and let rip. In a frontal assault, it will take far, far more than 4000 points to take an Imperator down.

Isn't that why you keep assault squads in the legs?

Dear sweet Emperor I want one

Isn't that why you keep assault squads in the legs? This is also why knights made the perfect escort.

The perfect escort for one of those?

Bjorn the fell handed with Inquisitor Karamazov. A bunch of Purifiers lead by both Logan Grimnar and Draigo and a combination of fifty Wolf guard terminators with SS and Paladins with one other titan of various kinds on the frong back and left and right sides with maybe a couple of thunder hawks flying above it.

Yeah...That should be sufficient for protection!
