ok ya'll i am not shure if this is the currect area for this but,

I have just hired someone to build me the body of the Emperorclass battle titan. Now what I want to know is howto do and what I need. To make the weapons for him. As gamesworkshop dose not make the the bitzs to this size nor do they come close. So since not even forge world makes the weapons TO THIS SIZE i am wondering what i need for the following:

vortez missle

laser blaster

volcanno cannon.

vengence cannon

plasma annilator

I think FW do make the Titan wepaons...

Whether or not they are correctly scaled for an Emperor Titan is another matter...

For the Vortex missile I'd suggest a rocket / missile kit (V-1 or 2 maybe).
Forge World makes a laser blaster, Volcano cannon is in one of the Shadowsword/stormlord kit.

yes but i need it for the scale of the titan. This thing is 4 feet tall. (over a meter for you Eupopean people)
but thank you i think i might go the route for the rockets

Vortex missile could be made from the deathstrike missile. Everything else is plastic pipes and hoses and whatever else is at the hardware store.

Thats what i was thinking. Anyone have any advice like how big the pipes should be and so.

You could always check out paperhammer 40k in the download section they have plans for titans, and some of the instructions could scale to emperor size.

Or you could do what I did for my Warlord (link below), just go to walmart and look around the toys section till you see something that may work

i cant download that stuff. i have tryed but when i did it was a torrent that my pc couldnt read and after 3 hours of fixing my pc after downloading the reccommdend program to download it. after that i said that ant working for me.

Have you looked at the ones in the gallery?

The usual route for titan sized weapons is to buy toy guns and fit them. Stormtrooper blasters are a popular pick as are nerf weapons.

Pipes are a cheap and easy pick.

Ok, hang on. An Imperator titan is like, 6 feet tall in 40K scale. A Warlord is 4ft tall or more, and an Emperor class is much larger.

Emporer and Imperator are the same thing arn't they? only different roles as one carries far more ranged support weapons then the other while the other is a "tactically flexible" design.

Emperor is the name of that class of titan.
There are two types within that class: The Imperator, which the generic jack-of-all-trades type. And the Warmonger, which is a long range fire support variant.

^^ correct.

Aye. Typically an Imperator will be armed with:

- Arm Plasma Annihilator
- Arm Hellstorm Cannon
- Sensorium Volcano Cannon
- Sensorium Doomsday Cannon
- 4 Tower battlecannons
- Multiple Secondary weapons

Whereas a Warmonger comes with:
- Arm Devastator Cannon
- Arm Doomstrike battery
- 4 tower hydras
- Lysander spotter aircraft
- Multiple Secondary weapons

The Warmonger and Imperiator are subsets of the Emperor.

As far as I know they're the largest of the titans, the only larger land vehicles are the Adeptus Mechanicus Ordinatus which are basically rolling factories.

As for scale, the fluff is all over, rule of cool and all that. Here are some charts from our gallery.

From the scales i have seen the Base (aka the body frame with out all the weapons and buildings added on is some where in the 4 ft range.

Work starts tomorrow on this bad boy i will take pictures as it goses along. also when i am done if anyone wants a copy of the blueprints just pm me.

legs done

Made of wood? That is going to be obscenely heavy.

you would be suprised on how light it is.

ok now a computer will be place in the middle of this thing on the shelf and will run all the led lights and the speakers that will make gun noises or play music depending on what i want at that moment.

I look forward to your updates!
