hey everybody,
I (like a lot) love titans. i was wondering could i use epic titans as dreadnoughts in 40K? and if i could do that could i use epic marines as normal marines too ge the scale right? And then i thought i think too much what iff i asked the hounarable members of dakkadakka.com too give there oppinions.

i would love too hear what you think

If your gonna use epic then play epic. But if your fellow players are cool with it then by all means...

Epic marines as normal marines I'd say no. The size difference is too great. Titan as dreadnought idk, again would depend on size comparison.

I don't see why not. Just make sure your opponent is absolutely clear on the fact that those are, in fact, Dreadnoughts (albeit shaped a bit differently) and make sure they're aware of what they're armed with. Have it written down.

How much of a size difference is there between an Epic 40k Titan and a regular 40k Dreadnought? Do you have a photo for comparison?

Does this help?
It shows the scale in general of an Epic Imperator Titan next to a 40k Marine, so go from there?
(not my pic, by the way. I'm just good at google >_&gt

Titans as dreadnoughts makes complete sense. It's cool. Epic Marines as normal Marines though? That's hilarious, especially given true line of sight in 40k.

I've seen somebody make a tiny portable board using Epic models for actual games of 40k though. He magnetized the whole thing, and it was awesome.

SRM, do you mean he used Epic models and 40k rules?

Yes: Epic models and epic-scaled 40k rules, and even epic-scaled 40k flamer templates.

He tanks everybody for your feedback.

Do a google search for "Travel 40k", and you'll find it.

For example...

That is so damn awesome haha

You know, thinking about it, I'm more and more fond of this idea. Imagine how easy Apoc could be using Epic scale and models.

thats what i thoughed too. i am already putting this on my clubs website and hopefully they like the idea aswell so we can pla apocalypse

I converted a Epic Imperial Titan to a SM Dreadnaught. Used just the torso, reg. dread legs and forge world arms. It gets alot of attention. Makes a great Ven. Dread.

I love the travel 40k idea!

travel 40k for the win.
@mark nice idea can you post a pic?

It used to be not too uncommon to see Epic Eldar Phantom Titans fielded as Eldar Dreadnoughts (now Wraithlords) as the size and overall shape was similar.

I've seen one or two Marine armies using Warlord Titans as Dreadnoughts. Not as much a fan, but whatever floats your boat.

Brilliant

also works great for "Counter Top" 40k in case all the tables are filled with only the register space open

@kenshin thats right our club has only 4 tables and if som one wants too play a game you "lose" 1,5 tables and so if they want too play 2 matches at the same time there is almost no room for the painters.
