Hi
I know most of the titans here, and I was thinking of me and others and post what the different titans are our opinion on them and any quires. Like this one-does anybody have the measurement for the reaver, warhound, warlord and emperor classes titans? If there is an titan that I haven’t mentioned please feel free to say so and if it is possible post something like what I have done e.g. the name any facts or stuff (like what class is it) and a picture of it so I will copy and past that into here so it is easy to get to with who wrote it. And without fever ado…

knights
I don’t know if this if right but there are knights. Knights were used before the Horus Heresy as mini Titan’s and piloted by a single man, and were designed to protect herds of big animals. In time of war, they would join up with the imperial armies and pulverise the enemy. Because this titan is an epic model there really isn’t any rules for it, however The source and the epic models are both armed with an Titans chainsword and some sort of rail gun.

The Warhound Titan
The Warhound class Titan is a scouting titan that compared to the other Titan’s it is lightly armoured. They are normally used to outflank ermines or to go into groups of 2 to support a larger warlord or Emperor Titan. The reason for warhound Titan can only go into no more that groups of 2 because of the Horus Heresy when Horus landed on terra groups of 10+ Chaos Warhound Titan’s went around terrorising terra civilians. So after the Horus Heresy the Imperium put in rules to makes sure this would never happen again. The Warhound is the first Imperial Titan that has received an official model kit from forge world in the warhammer 40k scale. Available in several patterns, classes and choice of weapons these are the Vulcan mega bolter, plasma blast gun, inferno cannon, turbo laser and the plasma blast gun. They stand over 10 inches tall when assembled, and are 25 meters (75feet) tall in "real life. “The rules for the warhound titan can be found in the Imperial Amour and Apocalypse book.

The Reaver Titan
The Reaver class Titan is a medium-sized Titan and the smaller of the two known classes of Battle Titans. They are more durable than Warhounds, and are able to take roughly double the amount of damage of a Warhound. This extra durability is probably a result of the unusual placement of the plasma generator on the back of titian, while in most of the Titans the generator is normally in the centre (or core) of the Titans, hence the term "energy core." This makes the Reaver Titans able to take more damage on the frontal parts of the titan. This makes it different to the other Titans of the same class. Unforchently this can severe as a disadvantage when in close together environments (such as cities, hive cities or canyons). They stand under twice the height of a Warhound - at 40 meters (121.92 feet). The Reaver Titan is apparently an older design than the Warlord.
Most of the weapons the Reaver’s may carry are Multiple Rocket Launchers on their carapace mounting and easily use all of the weaponry of the warhound. Also Reaver’s are able to use Titan powerfists for Titan-scale mêlée battles. It is also said that Reaver’s are becoming increasingly rare in Imperial armies, and it is possible that the technological secrets to their manufacture have been lost to the Adepts Mechanics Forge worlds (and is common fate for the more advanced Imperial technologies).For these reasons, Reaver-class Titan usually perform fire support, avoiding direct combat. There are many different pattern Reaver’s these are The Mars Pattern Reaver-class Titan's carapace mounts a Multiple Rocket Launcher and Turbo-Laser Destructors on each arm. The Lucius Pattern's carapace bears a Rocket Launcher, with the arms carrying a Volcano Cannon and Gatling Blaster. There is also a fire support variant of the Lucius, with Multiple Rocket Launchers on all three mounts. The Reaver is the second Imperial Titan that has received an official model kit from the Forge world Warhammer 40k scale.

The warlord Titan
The warlord class Titan is one of the biggest titian available to the Imperium. Even if there is currently not an official model for the warlord titian there is still many scratch build ones made out of card board or plasticard etch. They appear to be the most common class of Battle Titan in use by the Titan Legions, and many forge worlds field their own personal patterns. The Warlord is exactly 50% larger than the older Reaver class Titan, putting its height at around 60 meters (182.88 feet). The Warlord Titan is also able to withstand considerably more damage than the Reaver Titan. Also because the warlord Titan is a whole lot bigger than the reaver it is able to withstand more damage and host 4 weapons instead of 2. This allows more weapon configurations and classes such as the Mars Pattern Warlord that mounts two Turbo Laser Destructors on its carapace, with a Volcano Cannon and Gatling Blaster on the arms. A special variant carries a close-combat Powerfist a Gatling Blaster on its arms, plus Vortex Missile and Rocket Launchers on the carapace. The way that warlord Titan began to be used was first in epic that was put into the Apocalypse book. If someone is to construct a Warlord, it should be approximately two feet tall to be of the proper scale alongside the other models.

The Emperor Titan
The emperor Titans are the biggest best titans available to the Imperium of man; they are divided into 2 groups the Imperator and Warmonger Of these, the Imperator-class is a general-purpose assault platform, where the Warmonger-class is a fire support unit with advanced fire control and targeting systems. Both of these are extremely powerful weapon systems and are often unmatched by an enemy force on any battlefield where they are deployed. They are loaded to the max with pre- installed weapons, and their mounts can handle special Titan weapons too big for average Battle Titans (they do not carry any of the close-combat weapons, as their primary focus is on extreme firepower). The Emperor Titan are very rare, and can crush many weaker war engines. This type of Titan has legs so large they can house a full company of Adeptus Mechanics or imperial guard troops for defence and assault assistance. These Titans can stand up to 150 meters (approximately 400 feet) tall.

In Winter Assault, the planet Lorn V Houses the fallen Mars Pattern Imperator-class Emperor Titan Dominatus. The size of the Imperator-class Titan is driven home by the fact that in the last mission, most of the map is dominated by the half-buried fallen Titan , laying on its back, with exposed parts protruding through the earth like massive buildings. Once the Titan is partially repaired and powered up, even the guns studding its joints, labelled as "minor hull defence weapons" are able to destroy heavy vehicles in just a handful of shots. In the PC game Dark Crusade, the planet Kronus bears the right arm Hellstorm Cannon of the Imperator-class Emperor Titan Aquila Ignis, dismembered in a titanic battle during the Horus Heresy ten millennia prior. The Hellstorm Cannon was so large that its firepower carved a huge trench in front of where it lay. In the game, the fallen cannon's capacitors can be slowly charged by an entire array of powerful thermo plasma generator buildings. When fired, any units that are caught in the trench that mark its firing path are instantly destroyed. No unit in the game is durable enough to survive even a single blast.

Castigator Autonomous Bipedal Walker
The Castigator-class autonomous bipedal weapons platform was a corrupt STC Titan found on the planet Chaeronea. It differed from Titans that the Imperium currently uses in that its head did not jut from the chest but actually was above the shoulders, as well as being markedly superior to more recent designs. The Castigator in fact claimed to be the original titan, and that all subsequent titan designs were but crude copies, "pale imitations made by ignorant children". The titan was armed with a twin-barrelled cannon that launched daemons (it was later discovered that this was because of an ancient pact with the Ruinous Powers) and a titan class power fist. The Castigator did not believe it was a daemon until Alaric convinced it that was true. It was possessed after millennia in the warp. The Grey Knight Justicar Alaric slew the Castigator while the Grey Knights Dvorn and Haulvern destroyed the STC.1

You forgot the Castigator Class Autonomous Bipedal Walker, AKA the "father of all Titans". Without spoiling too much, it's involved in the book "Dark Mechanicus", although that one was presumably the last.

Ive never heard of that titan could you say about what it is then i will copy and past it into the top bit and so on so there will be all of the titains classes in one post!!!(i would put that you had wirteen it) but I am an amuture for titans aopperently there is an empror space marine class titain.Do you know were I could get measurments for most or all of the titans?

Something that smites grammar national socialists in the sleep. Beware, they're out there!

Griever wrote:Whats a titian? What's a titain for that matter?

Titians are somewhat rarer than Titans and I'm pretty certain I couldn't afford one.

First, its TITAN, not TITIAN.

Second, Knights are not Titan's. It is not a 'Knight Titan' its a 'Knight' they are distinctly different entities. Knights were used during the Heresy and are still used 'today'. As far as I know, the only Knights that were used to herd animals were the Eldar Knights (Towering Destroyer and Bright Stallion are their names, IIRC), the Imperial Knights were always war machines.

Third, Warhound Titans traveling in packs of two has nothing to do with the Horus Heresy. There is no law saying they can only work in pairs, etc. The whole concept of working in pairs existed before the heresy (go read some of the Horus Heresy novels, they depict Warhounds working pairs all the time, even before Horus betrays the Emperor).

Fourth, Emperor Titans can and DO carry Titan close combat weapons. Dies Irae being one such example.

Fifth, The big guy in your first image isn't an emperor titan... its not even a titan. It's a picture of a now out of production model made by dreamforge games. It has no bearing on 40k as its not a 40k mini.

Finally, there is no such thing as a Space Marine Titan.

Oh snap. Gak just got real.

I <3 nerd rage.

Erm, don't be a douche-bag? As I believe I don't think there is an offical model of an Emporer Class titan? And also, on this note, its the internet and belittleling someone like that I find wuite irritating, 'titain' is simply a typo, would you get annoyed if you post a typo, then immediately someone starts to point it, and try get all grammar-y about it? Many words in the English language were actually created from being mistakes of older ones, so I suppose the take away message is, calm down and stop being such an idiot. Admittedly some things you are say are, but it doesn't apply to you all, but if you have to point out an error, play nice!

Not being a douchebag, nor am I nerd ranging, nor am I belittling. I was responding to a post. Calm down and get your panties untwisted.

EDIT: Its also no longer considered a typo when its been done several repeatedly. Repeat behavior is indicative of something other than an innocent spelling error, usually something along the lines of not knowing how to properly spell a word. Clarifying it isn't being a douche, its helping someone learn.

There is an official emperor titan model, its the one posted in the 4th image (its epic scaled).

Very few words (if any) were created via spelling error. Don't know where you heard that from, but your source was wrong.

Don't call me an idiot, THAT is being a douchebag.

And if I really was a douche, I would point out all the typo's and grammatical errors in your post, but I do understand they are probably just that, errors, since you don't seem to repeat any of them constantly.

I'll be honest, the grammar and spelling mistakes in the OP made me cringe. It honestly did. It drives me crazy, and makes the post extremely hard to decipher. Just because the English language is derived from mistakes does not mean mistakes should be encouraged. Unless I'm reading a deep philosophical piece about the nature of humanity, I should not have to re read a post multiple times just to figure out what the hell the person is saying. Now.

I am not really sure what you're trying to accomplish here...just give us a set of Titans? Umm...why? We have Lexicanum for that, and if you really want to do something like this write an article instead. But in the name of keeping up the quality of dakka's articles I'd insist you invest in proofreading. It's Titan, not Titain, it's right, not 'Wright'. But yes....just work on your spelling. Work on your grammar, and work on your formatting, and type of information you're giving to us. Your article is very confusing, and need a LOT of editing.

It is bacily an really powerful machine that techpreasts build and were used to fite one an other with before the Horis Heasy now they are yese in key battes.They are also use in big game in apolyse and around 2000-5000 ponits and really hard to kill.

If your an amateur, you should have done more research before trying to make a thread spreading information about Titans. BY the way, it is TITAN, not TITIANS. I originally believed it was just a typo, but your continued use of the nonsense word 'titian' has convinced me it is more an example of you just not knowing how to spell 'Titan'.

If you claim that the Horus HEresy bit is true, cite your sources. What OOP book? Who wrote it? When did it go out of production? It's a fairly good bet that when multiple posters have no idea what you're talking about, you may need better citations than 'hey i read this somewhere, believe me!'.

And Griever was making fun of you I believe. He knows what a Titan is. Most every 40k player knows what a Titan is. However, 'Titians' do not exist withing 40k fluff.

And please...work on your grammar, and spelling. Please. In just your last sentence....

It is basically a really powerful machine that techpriests build and were used to fight one another with before the Horus Heresy now they are used in key battes.They are also use in big game in Apocalypse and around 2000-5000 ponits and really hard to kill.

And that's ignoring the grammar mistakes! That sentence should read.

Titans are basically really powerful machines that Techpriests built and used against one another before the Horus Heresy (Which is false in and of itself, but whatever...) Now, they are used in key battles. In Warhammer 40k, they are often used in big Apocalypse games. They range in points cost from 750 to 4000 points, and are very hard to kill.

I think too many folks 'drunk post'...

I understood the meaning in the post, but I've had to decipher far too many in order to offer a comment. I would like to think that the OP's use of Titain was a simple spelling mistake only. Like those few of us that insist that a 'turret' is in fact spelled 'turrent'.

Still, I think going so far as to police Dakka's articles with a mind to 'quality' on a fan based forum is a bit much in this case.

Sadly, there are very few openings for professional titan experts.

If you're putting together an article like this (and props for putting in the work) then it's always best to have a list of references showing where your information has come from. There is lots of contradiction and changing over time in the 40K background so it's extremely helpful to say exactly which book stated "xxxx". Have a look at the Lexicanum website for ideas.

guys peasce can we stop all of this bikkering and acherly start to discous stuff snd questions about titians.I will start one of with,does any boady have masurements for the reaver and warhound?and what would be better an group of 20 warhounds and 10 reavers or 4 emoror class titains?

if you any any others ant to know where the sourses were well they were form the web .You may be wandereing that I had said that there history bit was from an opp bokk weel that was an excteat on the web and dident say what book.

I'll discuss things with you once you make your posts actually LEGIBLE! I...I honestly give up...

In that case it would have been quite straight forward to provide quotes with links to source.

What do you maen by that?

You're compiling this article from a variety of sources - you could have had links to the sites so that everyone could see where you got the information from.

That makes the article much more valuable than if you just write a bunch of stuff that may or may not be correct.

Example - have a look at this article: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Korvydae
See how every paragraph has a number at the end of it? And at the bottom we can check that number and see where the information came from? That means that you can very easily confirm that what's in the article is right.

Ive now done that I hope this helps

Much better!

The thing to bear in mind, should you decide to write another article (don't let these guys put you off), is that wikis and forums aren't proper sources - you should always try to reference source books. Do try and improve your spelling and grammar as well - try writing it in word (or google docs) and use the built in tools to improve it before you post.

I would also suggest that you use lexicanum rather than the 40Kwiki. The quality of their information and their referencing is far superior.
