The Reaver is roughly 50% larger than the warhound,the Warlord is 50% larger than the raever and the Emperor is roughly twice as large as the Warlord.

Tau use Mantas to destroy the big stuff, especially since they'll most likely have air superioty. As far as the data sheet is concerned for the Manta you don't want it's guns on you...

In BFG, one of the unique things about the Tau ships is drone-guided torpedos. Would torpedos, fired from space, be able to reach ground forces? That might be one answer; ships wouldn't necessarily need total space/air superiority if the projectile is fire and forget and finds its own target.
Just a thought.

1)
Krieg not kreig 
2)
imperial armor does not invalidate 40k codices. Its the other way round.
nothing suggests armies take years to deploy after arrival.
3)
The setting prefers the combatants in the spotlight, but this does not mean the other guys do nothing.
If logistics wouldn't work usually, armies would be lost on such scale that no recrutement level could counter the losses.
Its a challenge to keep them all fed and armed, but its not impossible.
4)
A clever commander would handle a legio like the maginot line. Instead of opposing it, keep it distracted.
To give up a world and leave would be fluffy for Tau if you count their 4th ed background.
The issue here is too many want to "win" by killing the machines. Something that makes them a real target.
But there are different ways to victory and the thread does not provide a location or a description of the opponents.
5)
IoM,Chaos, Eldar, orks and nids have their own "titans", necron are unknown yet and Tau got a different theme.
Maybe the Tau are designed to evade that fight?
GW Gave tau mantas with the specific goal of giving them a non-walker titan equivalent. Flying Reavers for the win! Automatically Appended Next Post: Brother Coa wrote:im2randomghgh wrote:

40m is the approximate height of a reaver.
Warhound 25

Imperator too much variance to peg a number. The lowest I have heard (before your post) was 85, the highest I have heard (seems improbable) is 150m.
Either way, NOT 25m tall.
"Warhound model, 250mm tall, would stand around 15 meters (45 feet) in real life."
Reaver = 22.3m ( Imperial Armory, Reaver Titan Specifications )
"A Warlord Titan is approximately 33m (100ft) tall according to the scale diagram in the Apocalypse Rulebook"
"Other accounts have stated it to be in the region of 200 meters (656 feet)" - this is from BL novel. And we all know that in a mtters of fluff Codex and Rulebooks > BL Novels.
"According to the scale diagram from the Imperator's Apocalypse datasheet, Imperator Titan stands approximately 39" tall on tabletop, equivalent to 55.5 meters (166ft) in real life."
"Dies Irae, the famous Chaos Imperator Titan that laid siege to the Imperial Palace, was stated as being 43m (130ft) tall"
You need to check your numbers again...
I respect your opinions, but as with all matters of GW fluff, there is too much contradiction to peg a number definitely.

I just found out that Titans are actually pretty easy to take down. The Castigator (said to be larger than an Imperator) was destroyed by a single Grey Knight Justicar (source: Dark Adeptus). Damn you Ben Counter!

Once you are on the inside they really aren't anywhere near as hard to take down.
But a castigator would be nearly impossible to board, the only exception being mary sue armed with plot armour.

Plus he kind of pwn'd a daemon world alone.
And pwn'd a daemon prince.

I'll admit he did for the titan in the second one but he didn't exactly kill it in the traditional method.

Likewise, this is the best I could find in Codex, Rulebooks and Imperial Armories... Titans are actually much smaller then we imagine them. But then again, Tiger Tank was pretty large to ordinary solders in WW2...

the Titan wasn't really a big deal. It was posessed by a daemon. He killed it, and the STC was destroyed as a result. not a huge stretch.
and he basically incited a huge fight over the world and it self-destructed.

Not a big deal? It has been said that an Imperator is big enough to defend a world, and this titan was supposedly worth quite a few Imperators, PLUS it was bolster by a powerful daemon, PLUS it had a gun that shot daemons.

Not sure what you mean by pwning a daemon world and a daemon prince.
In the Omnibus, the first story was daemon-prince pwnage
the second was wtfhuge titan pwnage
The third was daemon world pwnage.
He didn't kill the Daemon Prince in the first on.
I'll admit he did for the titan in the second one but he didn't exactly kill it in the traditional method.
The third one isn't exactly hard considering the state of affairs of the planet he was on.
Well he DID banish the DP, and politics isn't enough to make a single Astartes own a DAEMON WORLD.
@Brother Coa, doesn't matter that they're GK, Custodes are even better than GK, but you don't see them attacking entire daemon worlds.
Clearly politics was enough. The entire world was about to descend into anarchy Alaric just made sure there would be no winners...
The fact that he survived it is what makes no sense. If you no longer had to obey the commands of the planetary ruler who ordered you not to kill one of your greatest, most prestigious enemies, you would attack. x billions of bloodletters. And probably a Bloodthirster or two.
There weren't that many daemon on the daemon world come to think of it...
All the mortals were fighting anyone and everyone but the daemons seemed to be absent entirely...
Pay closer attention. 2/3 of the population was JUST daemons.
Really? It's been a while but i was partially sure it was mostly mortals... ah well maybe they were fighting each other as well then?
I doubt the Daemons would fight each other seeing as they're directly controlled by Khorne.

Not directly but even if they were what does he care? Killing 1 GK is nothing compared to the amount of other people he could far more easily kill.

Or we stop quoting other quotes so much...
Quote pyramids look awesome after a while anyway...

Endless pointless internecine slaughter is pretty much what the Daemons of Khorne do, though, when they're not bound by a sorcerer or teaming up to kill someone else instead. A bit like orks in that respect.
