    That's not even the biggest Titan class either.

    To use a BT comparison, the Imperator-class makes the Warlord look like a Wasp against an Atlas.

    Back when i ran a Games Workshop store, we had a guy bring in his scratchbuilt 40k-scale Imperator. It was 5 feet tall.

    we used it in the big 4 table battle we ran, each table was a different part of the larger battle, one was an assault on imperial artillery batteries, one was the battle for the city walls, one was a fight in the sewers (we had a space hulk table) and one was a battle for a communications relay on a moon. The people who controlled the comm relay could call in strikes from the Imperator, as long as it was functioning. We also had a fight going on on the imperator itself, around the castle on its shoulders. It was really cool, one of my proudest moments putting that event all together.

    A fight for control of the Titan, while it is raining down The Emperor's Judgement on heretics on another table. That does indeed sound quite fun.

    I've done a ton of titan class battles with Apocalypse formations in 5th edition warhammer 40k. They make for fun games. Apoc balances out at about 6500 points a side.

    Biggest game yet was 18,500 points a side and we used half a school gym floor to play. It took 3 days to finish up. We had 14 players total. This was back in 2nd edition when armorcast made a warlord class ork gargant

    This was the cover to the Epic scale warhammer 40k [​IMG]

    Here's some fun stuff to look at:

    Imperator class titan

    Emporer class titan (Chaos)

    Phantom class Eldar titan (the model at the bottom is a regular scale dire avenger)

    and Revanent class Eldar titan beside a Warhound class Imperial titan

    That Imperator is absolutely beautiful....even if it isn't Chaos.

    To be frank: Those pics are fucking tit milk. Glad I didn't get into WH40k now. I would've spent sooooooo much money on stuff like that.

    I like how the Imperator is on a wheeled platform to move it around :lol: Very impressive!
