How big would a "emperor" class titan be compared to a warlord?
I just learned there is such a thing as a emperor class, I thought Warlord is as big as they go

Warlords come up to a Emperor titan knees, there are some people who have actually converted but i cant recall where it is check the modeling forum Im pretty sure some guy built one 28mm scale though.

Sorry, but incorrect.
In the epic version, the two titans are fairly similarly sized. The Imperator Titan, however has a different weapon loadout and battlefield role to the Warlord, with closer range weapons and a troop carrying capacity.

PS: Its important to note however, that most 40k titans are incredibly out of scale. A paper by someone at armorcast puts the height of a Warlord at 13', with 16' being the height of the gun fully. Most 40k warlord titans are well over 3", many even going up to 6". Even GW's own art changes their size every time, so in the end you should just choose whatever height fits you. I personally chose the epic scale, as they are the most realistically sized of them all. (I know thats not saying much)

Actually, there is a major difference between the Warlord Titan and the Emperor Titan. The most striking is the big fortress on the Emperor Titan's top. The other is that it is about over twice the size of a Warlord Titan because of that same fortress. The Emperor Titan comes in two classes, Imperator and Warmonger.

I don't know about the validity of this, but here's a chart that looks like it was done by a 12 year-old with MS paint.

captain.gordino - considering there's nothing called an apocalypse class titan, and those drawings make a mockery of the mockery GW makes of scale. I'd say its not very valid.

lol if there was an apocolypse class titan I would hate to see the model, youd have to play outside, with a forkleft to move it around.

The irony of you saying that. Foda Bett once built a 5 foot tall titan.

I think that drawing is ment to be an attempt at humour, showing how people's titan models build for apocolypse are always way over sized!

"worthy in the Emperor"?

Is which ever donkey-cave who did that lame chart implying that the Emperor is homosexual? Did he have buttsecks with Fulgrim, was that why he turned to Slaanesh? Did Col. Kurtz build the Apocalypse Class Titan?

All those questions are just as valid as that fraggin picture. Ignore it.

Edit: Donkey-cave?

There are 2 types of emperor titans. There is the Imperator, which has a pointy cathedral type thing on top, and the Warmonger, which as a more blocky castle on top. I believe that Emperor class titans are bigger than warlord class only because they have a castle on top, but I could be mistaken.

It's blatantly been done by some kid, give them a break.
