I have heard about a unit called a tiitan what is it and how good is it ?

It's a big-as-hell awesomesauce walker the size of a city. It. is. AWESOMESAUCIFICATIONOFEPICNESS

Its a really large, silly looking robot

Load it up on D weapons and it'll flatten anything it attacks

not that is over doing it. A titan is as tall as an apartment building and can range up to a skyscraper.

50-60 metres. People will claim that they are even larger but the apoc datasheets as well as the numbers given by Forgeworld's IA favour smaller titan sizes.

Weep, as you bear witness to its glory.

A thread about Titans in which the last post is a crying pony.

My life is complete.

If you own a reaver titan, why would you be asking about having "heard" about titans.

Does anyone know who built this and if there are 'in-progress' pictures of it being made? It's all over the internet, but I don't have much detail on it.

I heard about this car called a Ferrari, is it fast?



Oh yea I have one.

This seems pretty accurate about their relative sizes:

But it's not.

Emperor is not that big

As well as these beauties.

Many races have titans, not only the Imperium. Eldar have their weird skinny guys, chao has Titans too, but they're the same as Imperium Titans, only more daemonic, Nids have bio-titans. They're all basically massive things the size of building., I think the Emperor-class Titan is the size of the Empire State building.

whats the one that's smaller than the warhound? I though warhound was the smallest/fastest

It's a Knight, from the look of its armament, a Knight Paladin.

Sigh... I have plans on buying a titan, but I don't know which. I both play Eldar and CSM, so nearly anyone would be quite fitting to buy. Anyone here who found a particular titan particularly fun to put together and paint?

All titans are a large, long term modelling project. However, I have heard that Warhounds are a nightmare to build due to the large quantity of leg parts. But still, any titan is going to take you time. Pick one you like the look of.

That's the thing, I like all four (Chaos Reaver, Chaos warhound, revenant, phantom), though my friend has a usual warhound, so I guess I should be a bit different.

Dies Irae, probably the most famous Imperator, stood 55 meters tall. The ESB is 442 meters tall. That's roughly eight times as tall.


Where do people get all these insane measurements from anyway?

The imperial armor books. They are probably the only way we know the weights of dreadnaughts and such. They pile a lot of into in the pages.

Last I looked IA doesn't state that Imperators stand 400+ meters tall, though I might be wrong...

How can you have a reaver and not know what a titan is? Are you some sort of mega-rich spoiled kid whose parents throw toys at to keep him occupied?

Emporer Titens do not exist because neither of those things are words.

The Imperial Armor books also say that the Land Raider's armor is equivalent to 4 inches of steel, aka worse than modern tank armor, because the Forgeworld guys were reading WWII books when they decided 4 inches of steel was enough to stop guns that fired the concentrated power of the sun.

The first Imperial Armour book was the only one which stated the rather odd amount of armour for Imperial tanks. All others refrain from such statements.
Stoping guns that fire the "concentrated power of the sun" is just an idiotic statement. You should be ashamed
Otherwise both IA and the Apoc datasheets are quite consistent when it comes to the hight of the titans they describe, which means that titans range from roughly 12-15metres to roughly 55-60 metres, depending on their class, extra equipment ( missile pod on the Reaver for example ) and posture.
