...They made a model out of it and the Warlord?

I thought those were scratch build only?

Anyway, the Imperator is over twice the height of the warlord, which would roughly be around 3.5' feet tall, so the Imperator stands at a good two meters in 40k scale.

No, fail, wrong.

Going by the scale charts on both the Warlord datasheet and Emperor Titan datasheet, they are NOWEHERE NEAR 2 metre!

The Warlord is usually described as 1.5 the height of a Reaver Titan (16"), give or take, so would put it at roughly at 24" tall, and its scale chart in the old Apocalypse book shows similar comparison when compared to the Warhound Titan at 10.5"

The Emperor's fluff height varies. I've seen entries on wikis that quote them as 150ft, to 400ft, to 150metres to even an enormous 400m.

That said, the scale chart puts the model if you convert one, somewhere between 3 Warhounds (31.5") and 4 Warhounds (42")

A safe bet would be somewhere around 36", which makes it 3 times the height of a Reaver, and 1.5 the height of a Warlord.

2 metres! Good god man! Maybe a Strike Cruiser from nose to engine! Not a 28mm scale Titan! Sorry if I come off a little rude, but I am just flabberghasted really.

A strike cruiser is roughly 3km long, and so would be about the size of your car.

A 15km Battleship would be what...the size of an abrahms tank?

QUICKLY.... SOMONE MATHHAMMER A BATTLEBARGE AND STRIKE CRUISER INTO REAL WORLD FROM 28MM!

I realllllyyyy want to see this happen

Assuming 1:64 scale a 3km long cruiser would be...

47 Metres (150ft)

At that size it would be cheaper to buy one of these and stick votive icons all over it

Amd if you want a 15km battleship at 1:64 scale, look into giving the HMS Belfast a paintjob

Edit:

Sorry I underestimated, Belfast is only half size

This is a 15km Imperial Navy battleship in 1:64 scale

Emperor Titans really suffer the worf effect. Them losing to a bunch of Warhound Titans is like, the equivalent of a fit adult human soldier losing to a bunch of housecats. This isn't Dungeons and Dragons, Black Library writers. -_- Why even bother building something that probably takes more time, materials, and resources to build than an entire friggin' city if it can lose in a match-up like that?

Yes, because no massive, heavily armoured war machine has ever been destroyed by significantly smaller units

Such constructs would be simply too small to justify their rarity. Emperor class titans should be an extreme resource and time drain due to their rarity on a battlefields. If that isn't the case, then why they are so rare on a battlefield?]
