<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Imperial Class Titans."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Imperial Class Titans. 40k Apacolypse data sheets for this unit. theres fluff refering to them. But were are they? There are no models in forge world and i havn't seen very manny models built by fans. I understand that noone wants to be known as the guy who brought a 4000 point super heavy to a planet strike but noone has made one of these? Why?

This is the data sheet that i am refering to http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m2440056_Imperial_Datasheet_-_Emperor_Battle_Titan.pdf

It says Apacolypse and 40k on the data sheet but the only pics i can find of the EMPEROR and the Warmongerer are for epic, is that the only game that you can field these units?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/887218.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/887218.page GMT Imperial Class Titans. TBH, I don't know the answer to your question BUT you may attract one if you ask more clearly. Do you mean Imperator class? It's a subdivision of the Emperor Titan.

EDIT: Actually, this picture may answer your question. (and I think that's only a Warlord.)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/887227.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/887227.page GMT Imperial Class Titans.
theyre (AFAIK) the largest imperial titans, & people do make models of them, (just do a google image search for imperator titan), theyre just rarer than the smaller classes.

I think the epic models look rather cartoonish, Id like to do a 40k scale Imperator thats dynamically posed & looks like it could actually walk.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/887569.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/887569.page GMT Imperial Class Titans.

GW or Forgeworld had made models for those, my theory is that it would be so expensive to manufacture even in plastics,it would be tougher to sell those too! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/888269.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/888269.page GMT Imperial Class Titans. 40k APOC games. they are pretty devestating. i own 2 FW warhound titans and 1 armorcast reaver titan (wip) for 40k games, and even a single warhound can shift a game dramaticlly.

as for the emperor class titans, there are 2 in service to the imperium, the imperator and the warmonger. the imperator titan is a more "assault" based titan, if assault can even be used to describe it, its weapons are more short ranged then its brother the warmonger. the imperator (for me anyways) is an iconic model, its one of the first models for the 40k universe i ever saw, and prolly got me into the game. the warmonger is a long range support titan that has a rack of 8 "doomfire" missiles as an arm weapon, you can basiclly choose 3 types of missiles and shoot one each round. the loadouts being the standard deathstrike missile, a warp missile that avoids shields, a barrage missile and i beleive there is a 4th. the warmonger also packs a load of ainti aircraft hydra flak turrets in place of his "towers" and a command center that helps with rerolls when he is firing. this info is all from Epic, where i run an imperator and a warmonger in my Admech titan legion list. a pic for reference. the one on the right is the warmonger, the left one is the imperator.

- Knight-Paladin is the smallest of the titan classes. It only mounts one Titan weapon and only has one pilot tied to its MIU. Good pilots of a Knight-Paladin eventually become moderati and princeps to a Warhound.
- Warhounds seat 3 crew members. Princeps, Moderati and Tactical.
- Reavers operate the middle ground. Larger than a Warhound but smaller and more manuverable than a Warlord. Probably the most commonly used of the Titan classes.
- Warlords can finally use the big guns. The second most commonly used titan class. This is what most Princeps Exceutors link with. This is the class Irvine Hektake used in Titan: God Machine. And the Red Fury used in Titanicus.
- Imperator are the largest and rarest of all the Titans. About the size of a Hive Spire. Capable of laying waste to an entire world or defending it. Its so strong that in Titanicus it took the combine firepower of 20+ titans many of them Warlords to puncture a small section of the Titans shields that manage to collapse its entire network. And even after its shields fell it still took 10 minutes for the Titan legion to kill it. And in that time it killed 2 more Warlords.

So I hope that never do they produce rules for an Imperator. Such a thing would totally create a lopsided game in favor to the titan player. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/888711.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/888711.page GMT Re:Imperial Class Titans. 40k.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/888725.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/888725.page GMT Re:Imperial Class Titans.

The link on the OP is to the official GW Apocalypse datasheet for one...

GW (and no one else for that matter) has made a Warlord for Apoc or PS use is because at that point, the titan would BE the table, thus defeating the entire purpose. Though it would be cool to have a battle on it's 'shoulders', and then to integrate other tables into a single ground battle representing what's happening around the titan, and having it's attacks randomly placed every few turns by a ref on one of the boards, alternating now and then between each.

Otherwise, rent out a hockey arena and drain all the ice out of it, because that's about the space you'd need to properly play one made to scale.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/888824.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/888824.page GMT Re:Imperial Class Titans.


A Reaver titan is 16" high in 40k scale, so, because the head of the Warlord is about shoulder-height on the Reaver, I think that a Warlord titan would be roughly 2.5 to 3 feet tall.

I think it was the 3rd ed Rulebook that had a picture of a max-bracket Imperator's foot, and there were literally thousands of Guardsmen pouring out of it in a sea of squishy. So that scaled one wouldn't be anywhere close to the maximum scale if that illustration has anything to say ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/889001.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/889001.page GMT Re:Imperial Class Titans. gw table, and btw everyone thank you for the picsthey look great!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/889271.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/889271.page GMT Re:Imperial Class Titans.

Actually, the Warlord is 24" tall, at least if you take into consideration that Mike Biasi sculpted a 40K scale Warlord to be released alongside the Warhound and Reaver:

The only problem with that is that Space Marines are not made to proper scale (As is apparent by their equal height to a Guardsman) and so using one of them as your measuring point will come up a bit short, albeight still within the min/max range]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/889339.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/889339.page GMT Re:Imperial Class Titans. gw website http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m2440056_Imperial_Datasheet_-_Emperor_Battle_Titan.pdf onthis site they show A size comparison between a guardsmen and the emporer. if you take a screen shot of this page and open it in a photo editing program like paintshop, then copy the guardsmen and paste him again again and again head to toe from the bottem of the titan to the top you will see that the number of guardsmen is 23, and the guardsmen model is 1.5 inches tall. 23 times 1.5 is 34.5 inches but that isnt an exact science so my last post that says 35.5 could still beright giving room for error.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/889355.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/889355.page GMT Re:Imperial Class Titans. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/889419.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/889419.page GMT Imperial Class Titans. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/889433.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/889433.page GMT Re:Imperial Class Titans. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/232903.page]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/889448.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/889448.page GMT Re:Imperial Class Titans. GW's complete inability to measure things correctly; for instance a Rhino should be a fair bit large in order to accomodate 11 space marines (including driver) engines, armour etc. An Imperator should be large enough for it's lower legs to contain 52 Skitarii or Guardsmen plus machinery and armour.

Very true...

You know how convenient it would be if 10 marines could actually fit in a Rhino?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/889476.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/889476.page GMT Imperial Class Titans.

Im not sure if its the fact they are castles, or just the way the castles look. I dont think it needs to be completely retconned, just made a bit more realistic looking (in as much as something like a titan *can* be realistic), the castles need to be more in scale for the thing, & the legs need looking at, theres no way its skinny little thighs could support the torso.

As for the scale thing, I remember reading in Mechanicum that it is (I think) 43 metres tall. That however, cant be right, because that would make it about 4 times the height of a knight (9 metres), which seems very small, given that warhounds are significantly larger than knights.

Judging by the apocalypse datasheet, its approximately 4 times the height of a warhound. I consider this to be the correct size for a 40k scale imperator, (much like all the 40k vehicles are undersized). A 'trusecale' Imperator would be significantly larger of course.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/889846.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251182/889846.page GMT
