i want, but i can't justify the $1000 price tag

That's a lovely looking kit.

More dynamic than the Armorcast model...but for some reason (whilst I love this and will get it eventually), I still slightly prefer the Epic-scale-ups of the Armorcast/Biasi/Epicast days.

I found the "the single most powerful model currently available in Warhammer 40,000" line interesting, as rumour has it that a Warlord Titan is in the works.

From memory, I believe that the Phantom was rated power-wise somwhere slightly higher than a Warlord but well below the Imperator Emperor-class Titan. Can't see them ever making an Imperator, no way no how.

Scale wise, here is a photo of the legs of my WIP Forgeworld Reaver against the Armorcast Phantom model. For reference, the Phantom is 57.5 cms tall to the top of the fins, so I think the FW one may be slightly taller.

Padre.

At 5'9 he's a pretty standart sized male.

I don't even fit on the scale at 6'3! (and yes, that does make me the tallest midget)

Personally, I don't like any of the Eldar Titan designs from Epic, Armorcast and Forge World: They look just like action figures with odd proportions to me. The "fembot" guns (Austin Powers) on the new one don't help. Only exception is the Warlock Titan head (without the body) and the old Armorcast Revenant Titan which looks more like a machine. Happily I own one.

Man that looks awesome. I'm still crossing my fingers that it won't be too much more than the Reaver actually. Certainly its going to be taller than a Reaver, but in terms of the actual amount of material involved in its construction it probably won't be that much more (as its lithe and streamlined like all Eldar).

Looks like a regular Guardian to me. Albiet, a tremendously large one.

holy christ..... i think ive just found my next purchase...and the perfect thing to trump my bud's reaver. looks fricken amazing....i cant wait to dark eldar that beast up. any idea on what the rules will be for this thing?

Hmmmm I dont like the fact that yea it does look like an upscaled/more detailed smaller titan. Still it looks like a quality product (unless the resin goes out). Good ol japanese space elf shenanigans inbound

All I have to say about that is:
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

5 foot 9 aka 69 inches isnt very tall at all. It is UK average height for a man.

Sign me up for one!

Biel-tan love to bring the pain!

Love it!

This is getting ridiculous, I can barely decide which of the existing fw eldar to get, let alone introducing more stuff. Is there a rehab clinic for forgeworld addiction?

Any hints at price?

Here's a hint: it's going to be really stupidly high.

It's called "going hungry for a while". That usually rehabilitates the addiction.

what.....one cant survive on eating leftover resin pieces from FW models?? dang....

The price will based on a formula related to HEIGHT and point cost.. Not actual material

Good effort, but an Epic40k upscale has the Emperor Class standing as tall as you.

hmm... given the sheer size of these current models I'm almost hoping for the Heirophant and Heirodule to be relooked at.

The latter, if I remember correctly, was roughly warhound/reaver sized, while the other one used to poke heads with Warlords. Now they're sitting at the ripper/termagant sized when looking at their titan-scale compatriots.

That is a pretty sweet looking eldar titan though. Not sure what the big deal is about the hands/shoulder guns. Honestly the first allows for more easily interchangeable weapon systems (and if you'll notice, it's not like it has a trigger) at the same time keeping a versatile hand (and since the thing looks to be controlled by a single pilot, who knows what the interface is like... it might even be so that the pilot feels more of a link to the body), while the latter allows the limbs to be kept free for mobility rather than weigh them down with heavy or immobilizing armaments.

Maybe, just maybe, they might make a close combat arm.... That would be nice.

Yes but the apoc formation does not and that is how he is scaling it

In Mechanicum they said that emperor titans are absolutly huge, making a scout titan looking like a baby next to it.

So I geus that the emperor titan should be a little bit bigger.

If you want to build a 4 foot titan have at it the standard table is kinda small for that. the scale is skewed in epic each foot can hold a company of terminators in the standard one they hold 51 models.
But this is ot the Phantom looks nice and if anyone in my group get one my two titans will kill it hard core.

I dunno. It's a nice kit and all and I'm a big fan of the Eldar aesthetic, but I'm actually a bit 'meh' about this kit. When you see it next to the revenant, I just find the pose and proportions seem a bit 'wrong' to me. It's a lovely kit as are the details, but I dunno, it doesn't look right to me...
That and I struggle to imagine the Eldar fielding such a large titan, but hey...

That's right. I'm using the size comparison with a warhound provided in it's apocalypse datasheet in order to determine it's height. If you'd like to learn more there's a link to the thread in my signature.

I have to say though, I find it odd that people are quick to point out that space marine artwork gives them wacky proportions and tiny heads, but are even quicker to suggest that emperor titans should be hundreds of meters tall.

Very cool looking titan but dang it is going to cost a small fortune.

Concerning Titans, here is a very weak rumour posted on Warseer, not deserving its own thread. I just wanted to mention it, so make a mental note and move on

I WANT it to be a MARS Pattern Warhound that eventually gets made in plastic, but sadly, doesn't the other one (Lucius? Wolf? Something-or-other?) make more sense, in all of its boring squareness?

Still - go Mars go!

I can see them doing a plastic version of one of their most popular Titans. The Warhound makes the most sense as well as, unlike the Thunderhawk, there are more armies that can use it.

Not that they won't eventually do a plastic Thunderhawk - there are more than enough Marine players to justify that. It's just that with the Warhound you add Guard players and Chaos players on top of all the Marine players.
