So I got the chaos titan from forgeworld the other day and have noticed that in the rules it doesn't state i CAN use vehicle upgrades such as Parasitic Possession which would be useful, but it doesn't say I CAN'T. Since it doesn't have a crew any longer I can't use the enginseer repairs like the Imperial Guard counterpart can. I haven't been able to find any FAQs on this and since I would like to use the rules that came in the imperial armour book. What would you guys say about this? Can the Chaos Titan use Parasitic Possession or not?

The reason I'm asking is because The game I played the other day (16 player mega battle) my Titan was pretty much turned into a giant mobile piece of terrain without taking 1 structure point off and without me being able to possibly repair my weapons. The Imperial Guard Titan costs the exact same but is able to repair both void shields AND weapon/vehicle damage. I have asked GW but haven't gotten a reply (no big surprise).

I appreciate all responses

The Rules for the Chaos Titan are printed and the Chaos Titan comes stock with Demonic Possession and a Dirge Caster upgrade that is all. So the Titan ignores all crew stunned and shaken results.

If it doesn't say it, I am afraid not. There is a line in the CSM codex on the vehicles that specifically states they can take it.

Is it an unreasonable request if you pay the points? No. Just talk with the people before the megabattle. I mean you would have to talk to them prior to bring that bad boy on the field.

i've already been to the mega battle. i was just wondering as an after thought. didn't make sense why the imperial guard could and i couldn't at least buy the upgrade for it to make it a bit better

Ah, it makes sense now.

The Chaos Version cannot be shaken which is awesome. It also makes all around it fearless. Its not a bad trade really since void shields can regenerate themselves anyway.

yeah the shaken part is nice but i had a problem with losing both my weapons and becoming a walking terrain piece...

took 'em 10 shots with basilisks and about 4 shots from a vanquisher with anti-tank rounds and a few las cannon shots to do it but still...kinda made me sad

i don't think you can use upgrades...

however you dont HAVE to use the "chaos" version...its a seperate force org chart you can use which ever one you want :/

besides it would be considerably more powerful then the imperial version if it could ignore all shaken/stun and grow back its arms...

im currently painting my chaos warhound actually...heh

but ive seen a few chaos warhounds lose their arms and just run around kicking things the rest of the game..

he'll i saw it in a 2.5k point game let alone a mega battle...

the kicking wouldn't be too bad but it's only strength 6 power weapon and it is at initiative and weapon skill of 1 with only 1 attack.... i would think it should be more like an ordinance template for his stomp since that is about the size of his foot...



i've since started painting mine.... so much detail and so much to paint...plus i need to paint my forgeworld greater demon of nurgle and 2 hell blades i got....thinking about getting another hell blade and a couple hell talons for the bombs....no one around here really uses flyers so i think it would be a nice surprise

you are forgetting one thing....

super heavy tank shock...

run for the back lines and try and  push enemy non-fearless units off the table...

or go for tanks that did not move...a str 6 monsterous creature hit might not be the most incredible thing to attack a tank with...but it works occassionally
