Every SM chapter should have it's own Titan..

I'd call mine Bob..

I believe that Titan contains a few Psi-Titans and they are only used in the direst of circumstances
ie the Sol system comes under deamonic attack..

Otherwise, if there is no official fluff for it then I'm writing a story and sending it to BL for publishing (",)
Or maybe we should all send letters to BL and GW making them write something official (",)

Completely erroneous. Even if a Titan Legio is stationed on Titan it will still be under the command of the Adeptus Mechanicus and not the Grey Knights and certainly not the Ordo Malleus.

Pyriel- wrote:And who commands the divisio telephatica?

The Adeptus Mechanicus Collegia Titanica is the section of the Adeptus Mechanicus that includes the Imperial Titans. The Divisio Telepathica is a branch of the Collegia Titanica comprised of Telepath Orders which operate from a secret Forge World within the Segmentum Solar, possibly if not probably within the Sol System. Psi-Titans as with any and all Titans are created, maintained and controlled by the Adeptus Mechanicus.

So it should be settled that GK's don't have their own titans,but they could also temporarily 'acquire' one for the duration of a mission,just like how an inquisitor does their investigations or purges.

Eh thats what a warhound at most? I want to see a warmonger or at least a reaver but that is nice work

What Titans have you been looking at? If you think that's a Warhound you are gravely mistaken. That is a Reaver; it's far too big to be a Warhound.

That's a conversion which has no bearing of any kind on the official background. Only the Adeptus Mechanicus have Titans, no-one else.

I Would love the idea of a GK Titan, that should send shivers up any daemonic entity in the warp, however The Adeptus Mechanicus are the only sec that know how to pilot these great mechanics of the Dark Ages, the GK homeworld Titan, in my mind i can see having a Titan, in the worst case scenario that no group knows about, but they would acquire a titan exactly the way the Inquisition does in order to complete the means of the mission.

Thank you Captain Obvious for that fine display of your amazing abilities to point out that which was already known in the first place .

Sorry to burst your bubble, but you're wrong. Many of the Chaos Legions have severed their allegience with the Adeptus Mechanicus, but still employ the Titans of old. Also, Eldar have Titans. They dont have (nor have they every had) connections with the Adeptus Mechanicus. Oh, and Tyranids have Bio-Titans, and guess what? No connections with the Adeptus Mechanicus! Also, Ork Gargants and Stompas could be considered Titans, and they're not connected to the Adeptus Mechanicus either.


Don't take "/Thread" so seriously. It was a joke, so calm down, take a deep breath, and enjoy the awesome model.

40K is not immune.

Also... chill a touch.

Not immune? 40k RUNS on the stuff, it wouldn't exist if not for it.

wait a second.... Titans are only used by Princeps that are people completely independent from Space Marines, Imperium sections and the Adeptus Mechanicus.

They may refuse to enter combat and nothing can change their mind. So I think that the GK can't have Titans of their own at all as any other chapter. They may recieve a hand from Princeps but nothing more... at least as far as I know about the matter of Titans in the Imperium.

EDIT

I was wrong, they are subject of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

oh good lord that titan is awesome. kudos. man. who cares about fluff when it comes to modeling. im prtty sure no one in a game would truly object.

Just as you have attributed a level of emotion to me which I was not displaying during my last post I am not to know what your meaning is when you post. I was only taking your post at face value

In the context of this thread and the questions asked by the OP what you say here is entirely irrelevant in regards to my statement. Of course, you must already know that so, have another

The fact that the forces of Chaos having titans is totally in context of the OP, and I had made a point of it in the OP. Don't think that I have left I have just been lurking and reading the wisdom of more veteran players. Now can we keep this nice or my next post will be to let you know that I am P.M. a mod asking for a thread-lock on this.

The Legions don't have the titans, it's the Dark Mechanium that does: those that split off during the HH and nearly took control of Mars. Although most of the titans are now partially powered by the daemons possessing them too.

That paint job is unreal!!
It is a Reaver size though, just look at the GK termie beside him...
The Warhound head would be up to where the waist section is on that GK titan and the scale is amazing!!

I heard whispers of a titan legio stationed on Titan..
It's called Legio Reproba Fides.....

There are two non-Collegio Titanicus Legions that work with/for the Imperial Inquisition as equal members: The Legio Ordo Sinister (under the Divisio Mandati) and the Diviso Telepathica's Psi-Titan Corp.

Ordo Sinister is the smallest Legio, with only 12 Titans (all Emperor -class) and who's mandate it is to perform Exterminatus.

Psi-Titans are use when and where the Diviso Telepathica choose, as they choose, and in support of whatever goals they choose. As they are based in the same system as the Grey Knights and have roughly the same mandate to defend the Imperium from "outside" incurssions, one can only assume that they do upon occasion work with the Ordo Malleus to purge daemons.

Psi-Titans are Warlord-class Titans that replace all carapace weapons with a large Sensorium dome that house a number of battle pskers who protect the Titan from warp effect while feeding the Titan's manditory Titan-class Psycannon (which shoots bolts of raw psychic energy through all shields and armour, destroying the minds/souls of the crew). The remaining arm weapon is generally but not specifically a melee weapon.

All of this is found in the rulebooks and background material in the original "Space Marine" and "Titan Legion" epic box sets. The current "Epic: 40K" rule set only covers more recent units, which does not include the Knight-class Titans or Imperial Psi-Titans found in the older editions.

By inference, the Divisio Telepathica has more than 12 Psi-Titans, as the Legio Ordo Sinister is noted as being the smallest at 12.
