Adeptus Ridiculous - IMPERIAL TITAN TYPES: FROM SCOUTS TO GIANTS TO PSY-NIGHTMARES | Warhammer 40k lore feat Kirioth

Episode Date: November 16, 2022

The Imperium's Titans are mechanical, humanoid-shaped war-machines; some Titan classes reaching up to a hundred feet in height. Their presence inspires nothing but terror - few enemies can stand ...against them - and only another Titan can equal their power. It is thought that the first Titans were developed on Mars during the Age of Strife in order to combat the Cy-Carnivora.A human pilot, linked directly to the machine via a Throne Mechanicum, controls the movement of a Titan merely through thought. Titans are powered by plasma generators, as nothing else can provide the vast amount of energy required. Energy fields known as void shields are the Imperial Titan's first line of defense. The shields can absorb incoming damage until becoming overloaded. A Titan's limbs move using electrically-motivated fibre bundles which act as synthetic muscles.Support the show

Starting point is 00:00:12 Welcome everyone to another episode of the Adeptus Ridiculous podcast. My name is D.K. Diamanties, and we have two co-hosts today. We have Bricky, and we have our friend and yours, Karyoth. So, yeah, it's going to be a good time. But before we get into the episode, if you'd like to support the podcast, heading over to patreon.com slash Adeptus Ridiculous, where you can get access to the Discord, bloopers if they happen. There is a brand new Chad Ogren poster.
Starting point is 00:00:42 that is also available. You can get the HD version of that for 15 big ones. And yeah, patreon.com slash adeptus ridiculous. Bricky, tell them about the merch. The merch and the new merch. So, naturally, because we have our Chad Ogren, it is now available in a physical form with and without the text available down at Orchidate.com.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Check the description. There are still some more, if you want some short stack, Dwarf posters, they're still available if you want those two. Yes, boss. But I think I might actually make myself my own Ogrin one because that one deserves a poster. That one, that one, that one's excellent. It is quality.
Starting point is 00:01:28 We don't only have the new poster for the merch. We also have brand new merch in general. It is not a shirt. It is not dice. They are mats. They are. the 7 inch, aka 3 inches from the objective
Starting point is 00:01:47 marker in diameter mats that you place down for your 40K games. So if you guys I know you don't understand this, DK because you don't play the game. Well, I know what the mats are, and I know what the objective markers are. I've seen those. Okay. A few times that I visited a dice check, you know, I know.
Starting point is 00:02:04 For those who do not know it, you place down a little marker about 40 millimeter thing, which is about an inch. And if you are 3 inches, next to it, you hold the objective. And a lot of times when you do that, when you start off, you're like, oh, this kind of sucks because you got to keep measuring and always pre-check. These are perfectly spaced mats that are exactly the diameter for the objective and you place
Starting point is 00:02:25 them down in stem. And so if you're standing on the mat, Bada Bing, you know you're on the objective. We run them in every single game of Warhammer I've ever played since discovering them. They are commonplace at every tournament you ever go to. They are excellent. And they come in our brand new adeptus ridiculous. It's that, I don't know how I would call it, but it's that badass shot of you as a Skittari
Starting point is 00:02:49 and shy with the flaming sword, and I got my librarian stuff. Oh, hell yeah. The commission that we did. Yeah. And there's also one for all four of the little guy variants. So, and since you run with six normally for your games, they are five bucks each.
Starting point is 00:03:07 But if you buy all six, you get one for free because six is normally what you buy. Hell yeah. That sounds dope. I didn't realize we were doing that. Great idea. It's been a long thing in progress, but they look excellent.
Starting point is 00:03:21 I think they came out fantastically. Check them out in the description, as well as the Chad Ogren. And, uh, yeah. That's cool. You know, you spoiled the Kyrioth, so we, uh... What do you mean I spoiled the Kirioth? You announced it at the end of the last episode.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Oh, fuck you're right. You idiot. I'm going to have to bail DK out this time. All right. Just this once, only this one time. In fact, I think it was mentioned at the start of the episode as well, wasn't it? I think it was. I think it was announced to start at the end.
Starting point is 00:03:54 I just forgot. I accept my failure. I was wrong. To be fair, the audience might have tuned that out. Like, you know, when you have a traumatic experience and your brain decides that it doesn't want to remember it anymore, they might have just pushed it out there. So this might still be. You tried it. Trying to tell me that I'm giving the chat,
Starting point is 00:04:12 Trimatic experiences. No, no, no. Yes. I am. Not you. Me. All right. That was two very different reactions there.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Well done, Bricky. So, Kiriath is here, and I think Bricky announced in the last episode that we're going to be going over specific Titans this time, right? You're going to be walking us through all of the cool Titans, because you're like our vehicle. Titan Knight guide friend. I'm only slightly obsessed with the vehicles of 40K.
Starting point is 00:04:46 So, yeah. Titans are the... I think they're objectively the coolest things in 40K. I think that's fair. They are like the epitome of the whole thing. They are gigantic robots that are the size of buildings or mountains in some cases, just covered in guns, literal walking cathedrals in some cases.
Starting point is 00:05:05 You can't get more 40K than a cathedral that walks towards you and shoots at you at you at the same time. That is, it's peak, isn't it? What is that? The emperor-class titan with the cathedral on its bag, just had having its own little ecosystem. That's the big, big one. Yeah, it's got a cathedral on its back, and yeah. Wasn't there an emperor-class titan in the Betrayer?
Starting point is 00:05:33 No, that was a... No, the Betrayer was Warhounds. Yeah, there were Warhounds. ones with a special weapon which we will in fact cover as we go through there was something actually though that I wanted to bring up that was mentioned in the last episode where he talked about like being able to use them on the tabletop
Starting point is 00:05:51 and Brickie you mentioned Adeptus Titanicus and the fact that you can put like a full-sized warlord down in a game of 40k and it costs 2,000 points and war hounds but yes yeah Warhound sorry because the warlord's what 5,000 or something 5,500 yeah
Starting point is 00:06:08 So ridiculous. Three armies, basically. Adeptus ridiculous. Get out of the way early. And you can use them in apocalypse, but something that does happen, and I know it happens in the UK, and I think it's happened in the US a few times as well, is there will be community Titan walks. So all the Titan owners will get together and bring their full-size Titans, and they will
Starting point is 00:06:31 play Adeptus Titanicus, but with the full-size models. So it's just a room. full of warhounds and Revers and Warlords and they're all massive and, you know, the entire room is the battlefield and they'll play Adeptus, uh, Adeptus, Titanicus but they'll play it
Starting point is 00:06:50 at full scale with models that go up to like your kneecap and stuff which is amazing. So they use the entirety of a warehouse floor as their table this time around instead. Pretty much. It's totally worth Googling some pictures because it's absolutely ridiculous
Starting point is 00:07:06 seeing like a whole line of literally thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of resin just standing there as they start playing the game it's a really cool idea but if 40k is expensive i think being a titan collector is like it's a next it's like the next tier isn't it of insane investment into 40k that they all bring their own personalized cranes to move around their minis yeah they're They're minis, which is totally true, but they're minis, the size of a toddler. Maybe bigger. They left their real toddler at home so they could bring their fake toddler to the game.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Sorry, honey, I can't give birth to a child. It's like, oh, why not? It's because I own Titans. Because I have children already. There we go. There's a nice. Jeez. Oh, they even got a little Titan banners.
Starting point is 00:08:05 That's cool. Oh, that is cool. They have their own little personalized banners. I wonder if you added up how much all of those Titans cost, all those minis cost, how much do you think is sitting right there? Oh, good God.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Just in that one picture? Oh my God. I'd say over 100K. Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah. If you, like, there's knights in there as well. Like, there's multiple warlords.
Starting point is 00:08:31 Is there a warbringer in there too? There's, there is so much stuff. going on in that picture. Like, if you consider that a war hound, when you've bought the body and the weapons, is 500 pounds, um, that's, like,
Starting point is 00:08:46 there's a load, there's a load, there's a load. It's got to be 100K or something in there. Damn. That's how, that's, that is, what is,
Starting point is 00:08:56 spending. That guy is moving his titan right there in the middle. Did you imagine if you just tripped? I know the anxiety. The, just the anxiety. of seeing that much of that resin in that, oh my God, that third picture is absolutely insane. Yeah, there's so many.
Starting point is 00:09:16 The idea of having their banner is pretty dope, though, I must say. Yeah, that's a great idea. That is very, very good. Well, hey, if you're going to spend that much money on the minis, you might as well spend to get a really cool banner too. Oh, yeah, don't scrimp. You might as well, you might as well go all in. You're already neck deep in it, so you might as well just go whole hog, right? Yeah, you're already, I'd say you're already invested at that stage, so
Starting point is 00:09:38 yeah, might as well go the extra mile. Look, Mom, it's a visualization of my 401k. Now, I tell you what, let's not be crazy. They're not getting the 401k if they're spending the money on that. Yeah, that is what they spend their 401k on, just like, who needs retirement? I've got Titans. Or just go homeless and just play games of Titanicus every day, but with your full-size titans.
Starting point is 00:10:06 Or just do that. Or just be homeless in general. Ah. Become ungovernable, yeah. Galaxy great league. So Titans! You should probably talk about some of the actual Titans. I just keep looking at those pictures now.
Starting point is 00:10:23 It's distracting, but in a good way. So I figured what we'd do is we would start small and work a way up. Because hopefully with all the Titans, there's a definite increase. in size and it also increases in how in how ridiculous it is. Adeptus ridiculous. Oh, shut up!
Starting point is 00:10:43 I deliberately paused so you could get that in. I know, I heard the pause and I was like, ah, my cue. It's just like, I know what you're waiting for. I will not disappoint. So we'll start out with the Warhound Titan, which is the smallest of the Titans that is both available and in the law. and even that is basically the equivalent of a small army. So you have this scout titan, which I still think is, like, a bit of a, what's the word,
Starting point is 00:11:15 like something that shouldn't be true, like an oxymoron? How do you have a scout titan? How is this giant thing going to scout and be stealthy, right? Yeah. Is it kind of like how they said that the STC listed the Bainblade as a light scout tank to make up the statement that like old humanity was insane yeah when you go back to the old dark age of technology and things really ramped up and the bane-blade is a light reconnaissance vehicle
Starting point is 00:11:42 and it's clearly not in the same vein you've got the war hound which is a scout titan because it's relatively lightly armored it's fast for the size of it I believe the on-road speed is 58 kilometres an hour and the off-road speed is 42, which is terrifying. Holy shit. That's terrifying.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Yeah, it really is. I mean, it's 17 meters tall, and it's moving that quickly. You do not want to see that running towards you. I was going to say on a dark night, just in general, at any sort of time of day, you don't want that at all. And they're hunting packs, too. Yeah, they typically go in pairs so that they can, do the old flanking maneuver and
Starting point is 00:12:31 even though they are the smallest and technically like I guess you could say like weakest titan they still have weapons that are just outright capable of wiping out a significant number of enemies in one
Starting point is 00:12:48 go so they have something called they can equip something called the Inferno gun which is almost exactly what it sounds like it is a gigantic flame thrower Now, when you think that the Warhound Titan is 17 meters tall, a flamethrower that fits onto something that big is horrifying.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Yep. That'd take down a whole city. That's, yeah, that's no fun. Mm-mm. It's specifically good against swarms and hordes. And I would suggest pretty much anything living. I think at that point... I was going to say.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Even if you were made of metal like the Necron, you'd still probably get melted. I mean, I could see from like a more practical sense, it's like, yeah, swarms and a hordes that are hiding in this building. Let's just set the building on fire. Like, what are you going to do about it, nerd? Just melt the shelter in. That's the way to get to them. Kind of hard to take cover from a flamethrower of that size and magnitude.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Yeah, it destroys power armor. Terminator armor is still like, kind of. effective against it, sort of. It doesn't melt as easily as power armor, but being able to just wipe out a bunch of space marines with a giant flameries with a giant flamer
Starting point is 00:14:07 is quite strong, and it can melt, you know, lighter vehicles as well, just outright melt them into runny metal, which is, again, horrific. I mean, it is, yeah, it is a giant flamethrower, so... Like, I'm showing you these now
Starting point is 00:14:23 because there's a trend with these titans, right? So, as we get into the bigger and bigger titans and the weapons get called more and more ridiculous things essentially all Titan weapons start at what the Warhound has got and then every other weapon is basically
Starting point is 00:14:40 what we've already looked at but bigger the trend is just okay so this has got say like a turbo laser awesome a turbo laser destructor which is essentially a giant Ladd Cannon is what that is well, other Titans can also take different versions of the turbo laser, but it's just bigger and bigger and has more barrels as you go along.
Starting point is 00:15:04 And yeah, it's kind of just a like a scale thing where you start out with the smallest version on the Warhound, which is still enough to destroy almost anything other than other Titans, and then the bigger Titans get a bigger version of whatever that was. Okay. So these are like the standard equipment, and as you go up in Titans, they just get. bigger and bigger and bigger. Yeah, it just gets to like ridiculous scale,
Starting point is 00:15:31 especially when you get up to like the Imperial Titan, which has got guns that are, I would, I mean, to be honest, probably not that. Not, yeah, like Warhound-sized guns by that point, so. So yeah, there's the turbo laser destructor, which is just
Starting point is 00:15:46 a massive, massive Las Canaan. Very good at just melting stuff. it's supposed to vaporize whatever it hits in like an air of effect blast so good against armor people planets just generally ridiculously strong that's also that unfortunate feeling
Starting point is 00:16:08 when you have yourself an anti-material rifle and you you son of a bitch happen to be made out of material damn why was I made out of material If only I could be made of just anything else There's also the plasma blast gun Which again, just a giant plasma cannon
Starting point is 00:16:32 It does the same thing as a plasma cannon But it is Warhound Titan size It's just All of them though My favourite And this is not just because I put one of these On a Chaos Night My favourite is the Vulcan Megabalter
Starting point is 00:16:48 Oh I love that gun That thing is so fun Assuming that's just a giant boltter Yeah You know You know like when you see videos of an 810 warthog And it flies and it goes
Starting point is 00:17:00 It fires and it goes And it makes that really cool sounds Yes The burr gun Yeah yeah Imagine that but like On a 40K scale Oh
Starting point is 00:17:14 Okay And there's two of them The Vulcan Megabotter is two Five-barreled guns So it's firing two shells at a time It's the best It's the coolest looking weapon It also
Starting point is 00:17:27 Funnily enough can do a lot of damage To a lot of stuff And the shells that it fires Are ridiculously big It's just the best The thing is You don't see The design of it
Starting point is 00:17:43 I think it's like one of the best Designed weapons for Titans Just because of the overall look of it It looks Oh yeah, that's sleek It looks stable. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:54 It looks super mechanical as well. Essentially, because it's essentially like a gatling bolter it looks like. And that's a pretty sleek-looking thing. Like you'd expect that to be like this big chunky mess of barrels, and it's really sleek and cool-looking. It's awesome. It does also appear elsewhere as well. So like the Orca Megabotty, you can find them on the Storm Lord.
Starting point is 00:18:20 which is a Bainblade variant and there's a Macarius variant as well which is another super heavy tank that has the Vulcan Megabotter attached as well and yeah I was going to say carries 14,000 rounds as it standard payload that's a lot of shells
Starting point is 00:18:40 the do you remember when we played Dark Tide DK and the enemies had that one really fast rapid fire gun that would just pin you down really heavily. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I forget who used it, but I do remember that it hurt like hell. It was a volley gun, was what it's called.
Starting point is 00:19:01 And that in-game has about four shots to represent it being firing fast. The Vulcan Megabotter has 20. So it's just, it just rips. It just minces people. Menses people from a distance. It's amazing. It's so good. I miss Dark Tide.
Starting point is 00:19:20 We have a channel on my Discord called Dark Titan Cope. Soon, soon, soon, this weekend. Yes, soon. I want it back. I miss it already. I want it.
Starting point is 00:19:33 It's so good. Oh, my psycher baby, I want to pop heads. Yo, the psycher trailer, shut us. All right, we're getting off track. Yeah, we're getting off track. Back to Titans. Megaboters. Yes.
Starting point is 00:19:45 All right. So what else you got, gun-wise? So along with those you've got the ursus claws, famous ursus claws. Fire the Earth's Clause. Yeah, used to attach to other Titans and pull them over so they can be either destroyed or salvaged. Bad-ass weapons for, I think it's fair to say the best Ligio. I think that's fair.
Starting point is 00:20:10 And along with those is something called the Natrix Shock Lance. So it's like an Ursus Claw, but when it hits something, It shuts their reactor down for a bit. Ooh, that sounds very handy for fighting other Titans or fighting, I guess, anything, really. Just a super mean version of the Earth's claw. Again, this is something else where we need to keep focusing on the on-road and off-road speeds of this thing. 58, kilometers an hour and 42, given that it weighs 410 tons. And he's 17 years tall.
Starting point is 00:20:48 I see. I do like how it says on road, implying that any road is going to be able to stand up to a warhound running on it, because it's clearly not going to be a road after that, is it? Yeah, as soon as it steps on the road, congratulations, you're now off-road because the road is gone. Yeah, exactly. So there's a prefect, two moderati and a tech priest
Starting point is 00:21:13 that crew, a warhound, and a bunch of servo schools as well. just keeping everything running and there's also, as shyly to earlier, there is a sillier version of the Warhound which is the dire wolf class. So the dire wolf is, it's weird, it's really weird. Instead of having that kind of focus on scouting,
Starting point is 00:21:39 it's a heavy scout titan. So it's still relatively quick but it doesn't have the same arm weapons It's got two megabalters, one on each side. And then on top, it has a neutron laser. Oh, that's the newtron laser. That's the admec run with. Yes, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:00 It's got one of those on its carapace, like mounted above it. So it's really good for doing a bit of, doing a bit of cheeky, doing a bit of cheeky fire against, like, more heavily armored or void-shielded targets. Damn. All right. That is a big fuck-off laser. It looks silly. So goofy looking like.
Starting point is 00:22:23 It's like it's just running up the gigantic-ass gun. It's like, I bring death. So tiny. I really, I have to admit, I like the idea of it, but I don't like the pose they went with for the model. It looks, it just looks like a little, it looks like a chicken. I'm just going to say, it looks like a chicken.
Starting point is 00:22:41 Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it does kind of have that, like, chicken walker pose from like, Star Wars, what is it, the AT80s? It does kind of have that vibe to it, yeah. Makes me think it's going to say, yeah. I don't quite get that vibe, but yeah,
Starting point is 00:22:58 I see where you're coming, where it does look a little, eh. A little, yeah. The color scheme doesn't help either with the big, you know, bright yellow patches on it. That doesn't help with a whole chicken vibe either. Yeah, it makes it look like it's kind of got a bit of a beak, which is not, it's not great for that.
Starting point is 00:23:16 It's a big old biki. Biggie. I was waiting for that one. All right, all right. We spent 26 minutes on the war on the warhounds. Let's go. Riva is the next one up. Riva significantly bigger than the warhound.
Starting point is 00:23:30 25 meters tall, 740 tons in weight. So significantly more beefy. It can still move a ridiculous speed, by the way. It still goes 20 kilometers an hour off road, which is, I think. pretty good for something of that size and that stature. I hate this thing's face. Oh, this is the Squiss Stewie head. The Stewie Griffin Head?
Starting point is 00:23:58 Yeah. Yeah, I'm with you. I cannot stand the face on these. I just don't think they look good. Please tell me... They should just use the night face, like that night helmet face thing. Just use that. Those are so cool.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Please tell me about the enormous missile rack on the hop. So that is the Apocalypse missile launcher. Aftly named. Yep. Funnily enough, it's just a gigantified version of every missile launcher that the
Starting point is 00:24:32 Imperium has access to. It's, it's silly, it's ridiculously big. It's kind of basically the same thing that you find on the top of the knights. The, oh, I forget which version it is because there's two different versions for the knights. there's the there's the kind of
Starting point is 00:24:47 smaller infantry one and the larger like armor piercing one that they've got it's a colossal force of that you mean like those things?
Starting point is 00:24:55 So, oh, what are they called? On the Imperial Knights there's two different types of missile launcher that goes on the top and they're either
Starting point is 00:25:02 good against infantry or tanks and the apocalypse missile launcher is pretty much pretty much exactly that it's the same with all the Titan weapons.
Starting point is 00:25:14 They just take the thing they've got and they go, we should make this 10 times the size. We'll just do that. That'd be fine. It'd be brilliant. Ah, the Storm Spear Rocket Pod and the Iron Storm Missile Pod. Those are the ones. Yes. Yes. It's cool names. Pretty much just a giant version of that.
Starting point is 00:25:33 But, I mean, they are cool names. They aren't as cool as Apocalypse Missile Launcher. That is, that's way cooler. That's peak. It's amazing. Is there a bigger version of this? as we scale up? Of titles or...
Starting point is 00:25:49 Oh no, the missile launcher. The apocalypse missile launcher. It's kind of hard to get better than the apocalypse. So there isn't specifically a bigger version of the apocalypse. This seems to be the largest one. There is something similar mounted on the back of an Imperial Guard, Crassus or Praetor, armoured carrier. I forget which one it is, but the apocalypse missile is pretty much the biggest that you get.
Starting point is 00:26:12 It also, of course, features absurd. massive weapons on the arms as well. So you've got a gatling blaster, which is like the plasma blaster, but a gatling version of it. Laser blaster, which again is like the turbo laser, but way bigger and way more powerful. Volcano cannon.
Starting point is 00:26:34 Melter cannon, which is, it's just melter, but gigantic. And this is where we start getting into the really fun stuff, because you can also equip your Reaver if you want, with a Titan-grade power fist. Oh! I am, I'm looking up Reaver PowerFist, damage 12. That's about right.
Starting point is 00:26:58 It's ridiculous. A reaver-sized PowerFist? Yep. You can pick a PowerFist on your, on your Titan, which is bigger than most buildings. Just in case you really need to punch something, you know? What would a Reaver need to punch something? Another Reva
Starting point is 00:27:17 Another Titan, sure The leg of a bigger Titan There's a rule in game that says If you destroy a vehicle or monster with it Pick another enemy unit next to it And then roll a dice to do damage Because I'm assuming you're grabbing it And throwing the hunk of metal at them
Starting point is 00:27:33 Which is excellent It's like oh no Commander X or Y You've been destroyed Your Lehman Rust Tank has been smashed The Bits by this power fist and it's coming right towards me. It's true.
Starting point is 00:27:48 I mean, I guess a Reaver could really chuck around a tank or a Lehman Russ or punch another Titan in the face. Sure, sure, PowerFist. Let's go. Massive PowerFist. So good. The face is done. For the rest of it is great.
Starting point is 00:28:03 It is also worth point out as well that the Apocalypse missile launcher that is on the Carapace. You don't necessarily have to have that on there. You can take a Vulcan Megabotter in that slot or an infernal. no gun or the turbo-laser. So it's basically got three weapons at all times. One of them is Carapace mounted. Yeah, but it's an apocalypse missile launcher. I don't know why he wouldn't go with that every time. Yeah. It also looks the best. Yeah. It seems like that's quintessential to the Reaver aesthetic. It's what gives it, it's like it's special silhouette that it's got. Yeah. It's what makes it what it is. There are a bunch, by the way, of Titans that just have
Starting point is 00:28:44 nothing. Like no real law, no load-out, stuff that is never really covered. So we're going to quickly blast through these because they are also things that might maybe show up in future if Games Workshop, you know, continue expanding like Adeptus Titanicus and stuff. So there's a bunch of stuff that show up in like the Horse Heresy Books. So there's a Komodo-class Titan. Ooh. Don't know what it looks like. Don't know what it's equipped with. It didn't into that much detail. Oh, okay. Same thing with the Punisher class,
Starting point is 00:29:19 but it's got three legs, which is why I want to see this one. That's so cool. Like a spider walker? Yeah, there's like a three-legged, a three-legged titan called the Punisher class, which just makes me think of the tripods from all the worlds,
Starting point is 00:29:33 and I really, really want to see that. It was deployed to Ulanoe during the War of the Beast, but there's not been, there's not been any model for it. Which is a real shame, to be honest. So there's also the executor class titan, which again is mentioned in the War of the Beast series,
Starting point is 00:29:56 which shows up in The Beast Must Die. And again, there's not really any details of that specifically. Same as the Apocalypse class titan, which, if that's not the biggest version of a Titan, I don't know why even name it that. But besides Emperor-class titan, because nothing can be bigger than the Emperor. I'd see, I feel like
Starting point is 00:30:16 as in a naming sequence because, you know, he's the emperor. That's fair. That's fair. I just want to see what the hell that is. Or it's just loaded with weapons. It might not be the biggest, but it's just loaded, head to teeth armed.
Starting point is 00:30:33 It's just two legs covered in guns and nothing else. Like that, like that orc war boss thing that we saw last time with. So there's also, carnivore class as well which is about this kind of in between the Reaver and the
Starting point is 00:30:52 and the warlord but that's pretty much all the all the information that we got on that Mirage class again kind of warlord class ish and then finally we get onto stuff that we actually have things for again so
Starting point is 00:31:08 I wanted to throw those in because there's chance that they might show up later like as they continue expanding adeptus Titanicus and stuff they've got stuff that has been clearly dropped in the War of the Beast series they've got stuff that's been mentioned in the Horace
Starting point is 00:31:24 Heresy books from Forge World there's stuff that's been kind of thrown out just little names here and there that right now have got nothing attached to them but they kind of like just pulling stuff out of older things and going and here we go we've got this version
Starting point is 00:31:40 of this which we did mention once honestly and of all them, I just wanted that tripod one. That's what I want out of all of them, more than anything. Three-legged Titan sounds really badass. See, the curiosity, though, is that the Princeps is supposed to meld with the Titan, right? So how the fuck
Starting point is 00:31:56 is he controlling that third leg? Is he just got a giant dick, or is there something else going on? I knew that's what that was going to be. Is this man just, man's just fucking, like, rolling in it? I don't know. I got to understand how he's controlling his third leg.
Starting point is 00:32:12 It's good questions, but maybe with that one, they have, like, Like, do they have an extra pilot for just the one leg? They would never, ever, ever let a mutine become a princeps. So, you know, that's true. That's true. Mechanical enhancements, like tech priests give themselves extra limbs all the time, right? Like, tech priests can have, like, five or six arms or whatever, and a bunch of those, like, mechanical tendrils.
Starting point is 00:32:37 What if they get a princeps who's already good with a Titan? They graft on an extra leg. get him used to it and then stick him in the Punisher class that would work right let me just look at Cole and all his extra doodads
Starting point is 00:32:51 he's got like a bing wang bagillion legs yeah surely surely that's got to be the way to do it surely
Starting point is 00:32:57 oh yeah the Pacific Rim and Yeager that's not triple pilots yeah that was a badass concept and I would have loved to see that thing do more than die
Starting point is 00:33:07 immediately die it was so cool that was like the coolest Yeager too and it just immediately gets... It really was. That and the Russian one where they were like,
Starting point is 00:33:17 it's patrolled this area for 10 years, and then he just dies immediately. Instirect. Wow, okay. And they just drown and it's like, oh, great, cool. Glad to see you. Thanks for showing up.
Starting point is 00:33:28 Yeah. Cool movie. That's not technically off topic. Yeagers are basically Titans. Yes. So we've also got very small Titans, but still more knights. We can talk about things
Starting point is 00:33:37 that actually have models and do stuff now because we've covered the ones. Let's go. Let's go. So, The Warbringer Nemesis Titan, one of the more recent ones at Games Workshop has introduced, which is, it's smaller, it's smaller than a warlord, but it does have the benefit of having a carapace weapon like a Reaver does,
Starting point is 00:33:55 except its carapace weapon is a gigantic cannon, called the Quake Cannon. Nice. It looks like a turtle. It's a weird shape. I suppose. Don't you should talk to warlord class time. This is the thing. It looks cool. It just, it kind of looks like a turtle to me.
Starting point is 00:34:15 This is the guy. It looks like a really cool turtle. I love the helmet. Like that's the helmet they should use instead of that squish-stooey head. I think I mentioned that in the last box. I'm so glad that it's the squished stewie head now. So, yeah, this thing is, it's definitely a weird one. It's definitely a weird one because all the focus is on that massive carapace weapon. I say all the focus.
Starting point is 00:34:39 It does also have other weapons. like you can clearly see that it can take guns on the arms as well. But really, the whole thing is a gigantic walking platform for the Quay Cannon, which can basically tear apart other Titans in one hit. Can I just say really, really quickly, looking at the mini-shype mini, this is like quintessential, I skipped leg day. Like his skinny little legs and then boom Look at my big buff toast
Starting point is 00:35:15 I fucking skip leg day If only he had a third leg Yep That's the way to fix it Just stick another leg on that It'd be fine So along with the cannon there's also It's got like defense batteries on either side of the shoulders
Starting point is 00:35:33 It's also got bolt cannon turrets So that there's it's just ridiculous and it can take more laser blasters and the like so you've got a couple of different choices confusingly and I don't like how they've done this because it's just
Starting point is 00:35:50 it's baffling they've put the word Reaver before quite a few of these weapon names despite the fact this is a warlord yeah it's not the Reaver it's the warlord so of course you fit it with a Reva Gatling blaster oh
Starting point is 00:36:03 I why that is I don't know I have no idea. It's irritating. But they've got the Gatling Blaster, the laser blaster, volcano cannon and meldicannon again. And it's pretty much the same as the others before. It is a case of,
Starting point is 00:36:20 it's a slightly bigger version of the previous Titan weapon that was on the smaller class of Titan before. So just how like the Reaver's got scaled versions of the Warhound stuff. The Warbringer has got scaled up versions of what the Reavers got and a gigantic cannon right on the top. I love the scaled picture, Shai I put up there with like the tiny little human scale next to the giant.
Starting point is 00:36:46 It's ridiculous. She specifically referred to it as the little guy. I'm going to state that now. There's the little guy there. She said, there's the little guy there. Good job, Shai. You've done it. You are the meme now. Yep, he's not a big guy. He's a little guy.
Starting point is 00:36:59 He's just the little guy. He's just a little guy. He's just a little guy. It's stupid. So yeah, the cat and blasts are the best. It's just explosive shells. Just firing explosive shells over and over and over and over and over again. Well, that will get the job done.
Starting point is 00:37:17 So it still looks like a mini gun as well. It still looks like a gigantic mini gun, but the size of it, it's bigger than a knight is, pretty much. Just the scale gets so absurd as you go on. That is, that is, that's a weapon. Yep, that is... I agree, I can classify this as a gun. It's definitely a gun.
Starting point is 00:37:41 I really want to put one of those on a Bainblade, but I know it won't fit. So, I'm not going to bother. How big is that compared to a Bainblade? It's got to be bigger than one, right? Because you said it's like a... Oh, yeah, it's like longer than a Bainblade is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:54 If we look at the size of the lad down the bottom, the gun itself has to be bigger than the Bainblade, at least lengthwise. So it's not a project that's got any... got any legs, but I just kind of want to anyway. Just strap it on the side of the bainblane. Yeah, it'd be fine. On both sides.
Starting point is 00:38:14 Get two of them on both sides of the baneblades. I wonder how much those cost. I'm assuming easily like 100 quid, that totally worth it for an unusable model. Oh, yeah. What did you get for your 300 pounds? Hell yeah. Literally nothing.
Starting point is 00:38:32 All right, who else have we got? The crew starts to get a bit bigger here as well, by the way. So this got one preinceps, four moderati and two tech priests. So we're starting to scale up the number of people required to run these ridiculous, these ridiculous giant robots. For a tiny in that size, that's not bad, only needing one precept and like four people? Not bad. Something that many guns with a gun of that size, it's pretty decent.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Yeah. The next size up from that, though, is the warlord class, which is... I feel like it's kind of, I know the Imperator is like a favorite, but I feel like the warlord is kind of like the iconic Titan at this point. It's got like the knight helm, the weapons coming out of the shoulders. I feel like you say Titan, that's what most people picture at this stage. That's so cool. I love that.
Starting point is 00:39:26 Wait, will we not? Oh, we weren't talking about the warlord yet? No, the, that we were just doing the Warbringer. A war bringer. Oh, the night helmet. Look, maybe I think it was the warlord now. Okay, this is the real titan. This is the guy. This is it.
Starting point is 00:39:43 This is the cool. Oh, my God. This one is fucking awesome. Oh, hell yeah. This is it. This is the one. This is the one that sanguineous one of you won. What?
Starting point is 00:39:56 This is the one? Yeah, this is the one that sanguineus was like, I don't die today, so LaMau. Yowie, wowie. Good for you, Sanguinius. He is best boy, after all. This is also the one that two orcs, Gretchen and a squig destroyed. Oh, that's stupid. Did you talk about this last episode?
Starting point is 00:40:14 I feel like we did. Yeah, yeah, we did. Why do I feel like I haven't seen this picture of him? Because maybe Shai didn't pose this particular picture. Oh, okay. Well, this one looks really dope. Yeah, it's awesome. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:27 Tell us about it, carry-off. I think it's probably the favorite, just because of, they got everything. right with this, right? The shoulders are just the right size, the helmet, like the head, not the helmet, is, it just is perfectly done. Every part of this just looks absolutely spot on. Also, it does have four hard mounts for weapons. So you end up with this incredibly terrifying, just walking gun platform. Oh yeah. Those, those guns on the shoulder are so badass. I love that. I want to, oh,
Starting point is 00:41:06 Shai doesn't have a weight. I was curious about the weight. What are those on the shoulder, by the way? So on the shoulders, I was just looking for the weight, and I can't see it. I don't think they've specified the weight for this one, unfortunately. So you've got a bunch of choices for the shoulders. So you've got turbo-laser destructors.
Starting point is 00:41:26 You've got plasma blast guns, laser blasters, melter cannons, Gatling blasters, vortex missile banks, incinerator missile banks, or you can go back to what the Reaver had, you can have two apocalypse missile launches up there if you want. Two of those missile pods on the shoulders, let's go. It's great, it's awesome. They also have access to plasma annihilators, quake cannons,
Starting point is 00:41:54 so basically similar thing that the warbring anemesis has got on their carapace. One of these can take a version of that as an arm weapon. another Gatling blaster, laser blaster, plasma destructor, or, again, if you're feeling really fruity, you do have the option, if you want, to give this a power claw. So if you really want to, if you really want to punch other Titans in the face, you can give the warlord a power claw. I think you might be able to, I don't know, maybe you can't give it two.
Starting point is 00:42:24 Either way, the fact that you can give it one is insane. You're going to snip apart some random dude who's got too close to you. back talking your girl in his skulls. Is the cockpit actually in the helmet? Yes, yeah. I think pretty much all of the, for all of the Titans, the Princeps and the Marlarese, sit in the helmet. Okay, so they don't follow the Gundam school of the cockpit
Starting point is 00:42:54 is in the chest instead of the head? No, they put them front and center and make it much easier to hit. I don't know I don't know what the design philosophy behind this stuff is but you would have thought that you'd stick them like at least behind the head but for the Titans
Starting point is 00:43:12 they are just fully out there in the head itself that's true the cockpit isn't in the helmet for night so clearly someone had a good idea when it came to that in Gundam that's just it's just a camera the head's just a camera the um
Starting point is 00:43:28 the warlord titan does come with two Ardiok Power Clause. But if you're going to, but it's obvious like you get rid of them. It's because you want your, oh, I don't know, sun-firy plasma annihilator, or perhaps your bellicosa volcano cannon, etc. Yeah. What? No, I just want a giant power fist that's the size of a moon.
Starting point is 00:43:56 It's so ridiculous. It's amazing. I love these. They do also have. There is a variant of this that is It's like they went for peak 40K And then decided to go a little bit more Because there is a warlord sinister class
Starting point is 00:44:13 Scy Titan A Scytitan? Oh, this is the Siker one, right? Yeah, so there is a warlord variant That has got alpha-grade psychers That have been like enslaved and used as batteries For psychic powers Oh
Starting point is 00:44:31 Oh god that's cool Crazy It's actually It's actually incredibly dope looking Holy shit Oh I love that It's so good Like the ruins that have been painting
Starting point is 00:44:42 Into the armor and stuff There is Even that helmet is actually a lot cooler looking I love that It's great It's so good There was a short story When they brought those out
Starting point is 00:44:54 For Adeptus Titanicus That was like Eldar Titans were causing issues and the normal Titans couldn't touch them, just couldn't hurt them in any way. Either the gunfire or the PowerFist just weren't connecting with them. And then a few of these side tithens showed up and no one on the Imperium side knew what they were or what they were doing. They just showed up and immediately wrecked them and then just stomped off into the distance and no one was able to communicate with them. So they are like super, super secret, just ultra.
Starting point is 00:45:29 ultra overprotected secrecy where they shouldn't exist in the first place unless the emperor commanded it and no one really knows where they came from or how it worked. That's peak 40K. They came from who knows where and they went to who knows where
Starting point is 00:45:46 after destroying everything. So good. Shia's little quote, it says, The Titan is manned by a damn psycher surgically bound to the cockpit and locked in place against its will. They are, in effect, slave to the blank perceptor intendant,
Starting point is 00:46:04 which serves as the preencept of a side titan. This unique setup allows a side titan to project psychic phenomena on a truly gargantuan scale. Truly. Love that word, gargantuan. So rarely get a chance to use it. Absolutely badass. It's so good.
Starting point is 00:46:25 That's very dope. I love it. Yeah, the Aude Sinister. are the ones who keep them going. Nothing suspicious about that. Why would you even call them that? Nightmare Titans. Why would you even call them that? Side Titans are my favorite now, though.
Starting point is 00:46:44 You gotta be honest with you, a side titan. Way too cool. They are, they are like such a good idea, such a good concept. Yeah, also, auto-sinister have got them. There it is. Is that their logo?
Starting point is 00:46:55 Is that their logo? Hans, are we the baddies? Wow. Yeah. It looks like a satanic cult logo. Jesus. It's so close to being just a chaos icon, isn't it? It's so close, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:13 All it needs is blood dripping down the fangs, and you're pretty much there. Absolutely ridiculous. Yep. There are monsters, and then there are the monsters. We make to fight them, both are the same. The difference is simply a choice of how we see ourselves. an actual quote about the auto sinister they're self-aware at least
Starting point is 00:47:38 yeah at least they know that's very true they know they get it yeah they're in on what they are they sure are I must admit the little blue glowy ruins on the side titan add a lot to the look oh yeah yeah they really do yep agreed
Starting point is 00:47:55 God it's so cool there isn't a full-scale version of that yet sadly Like, they haven't done that head from Forge World because that's the Adeptus Titanicus version. I really wish that there was a way, like, that they would release a head for the full-scale one. Not that I'm ever going to be in a position to buy one, but, you know. So you'd have to, like, custom-make that for the full-scale one.
Starting point is 00:48:20 You know what, I bet someone's mould it and you could print it, thinking about it. Someone's got to have done that already. Oh, yeah. Not the whole Titan, just the head, just to, you know, steer clear of any... implications there. Anyway, moving on, before that gets taken out of context, the next one
Starting point is 00:48:37 up is the Warmaster class Titan, which is another more recent one that's been released by Games Workshop, which is even bigger than the Warlord. So the Warmaster is like 41 meters tall. And again,
Starting point is 00:48:54 it's the classic setup where it is just bigger and more heavily armored and has more void shields. That's the other thing as well. We've completely skipped over void shields. So the Warhound has got a couple of void shields. The Reaver has got more void shields. By the time you get up to
Starting point is 00:49:11 the warlord, there is a significant number of them. I think it's either six or ten. I forget which way around it is. And void shields are like, they're what ships use to avoid being flooded by chaos.
Starting point is 00:49:28 But they can also be used to prevent damage to the actual body of the Titan as well. How hard is it to like punch through a void shield on a Titan? It's pretty, it's pretty difficult. It takes quite a lot of energy and a lot of, a lot of gunfire. So the Warmaster,
Starting point is 00:49:46 so the Warmaster's got seven void shield generators. So I believe the warlord has got six, if that's, if I'm remembering correctly. It's one of those things where it's like, it's noted down in some places, but there's also a lot of like conflicting information with Titans, especially when we get up to the Imperial which we'll
Starting point is 00:50:04 talk about after the war master but the the war master is like 41 metres tall and is absolutely massive even compared
Starting point is 00:50:19 to the warlord and it's covered in guns absolutely covered in guns it can have suzerane class plasma destroyers on the arms missile launch and the carapace, laser destructors mounted in the shoulders,
Starting point is 00:50:34 Apocalypse missile launches in the shoulders, Vulcan Megabalters, basically all the weapons that are available to other Titans, you can just plaster this thing with those weapons. And also, for some reason, a gun in the knee. Of course. I mean, there's a spot for a gun, you might as well put it there, right? Sometimes someone's trying to climb up your tights and you're like, yeah! Ah, get off.
Starting point is 00:51:03 I don't love the look of these. I've got to be honest with you. I actually kind of like them a little bit. They're a different concept. They're a little chunkier, a little why, that kind of thing. But the, what is it called? I feel like void shields are often a... They're as strong as the writer needs them to be.
Starting point is 00:51:25 Oh, yeah, definitely. They fluctuate wildly where it's like, a Titan will stand there and take the gunfire of an entire army and nothing will be able to break through. Or, you know, a plucky Lehman Ross will get like a lucky shot off and it'll destroy the void shields in one hit because it hit a specific spot where they overlap and it didn't quite sink properly or something. And it's super like variable depending on the person writing it at the time. Damn. The, where is this? Omega Primus Plasma Reactor.
Starting point is 00:52:03 Yes, yes, of course. That's a juicy reactor. Yeah. Wow. I'll be honest, I've just skipped the name of the plasma reactors because they don't mean anything. It sounds impressive. It sounds really, really impressive. It does. It's just safe to assume that the bigger the Titan, the bigger the plasma reactor. That's pretty much what it needs to know.
Starting point is 00:52:24 All right. Sometimes you get really super into those details and he's like, yeah, but does anyone care, really? Does it make a difference? It's just a bigger plasma reactor, which is cool, but like, sure. That's fine. You can have that detail. Crew-wise, by the way. Not a big fan of Warmaster Titan.
Starting point is 00:52:44 They just seem, I don't know, too chunky, not that unique. It just, eh, they are ugly as sin. I quite like the, I quite like the fact that they are that ugly, but there's, like, little choices that I don't like, like the head looks a bit goofy to me. Oh, I kind of like it a little bit... I mean, it's still got that kind of nighthead to it, right? I'm gonna try on this one. I kind of like the head.
Starting point is 00:53:09 I think it's more menacing. It's like a blank face. It's strange. That blue one almost looks like it's made out of scrap metal or something. Like someone went to a junkyard and put together a robot. Orcs. Oarks. The color scheme is super orky, to be fair.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Yeah, with the checkermarks and everything. It's cool looking. It almost looks like a transformer. It looks like a transformer. Don't cross the streams. Don't do that. Oh, that's true. I've just realized what it is about the head.
Starting point is 00:53:42 It's too flat. It makes me think of a pug. It's just got a flat face. I kind of see that, yeah. It looks like it's permanently struggling to breathe to me. Oh, that's... Poor old guy. It's just not a good look for me.
Starting point is 00:54:00 Poor little guy. Yeah, not a big fan of one. Warmaster Titans. Well, the thing is, they're never going to be as cool as the warlord. And they are also up against things like the Imperial Class Titan. Yeah, so really, I mean, what are you going to go for? You're going to go for the Warmaster? Or are you going to go for the Emperor class, Imperial Class,
Starting point is 00:54:22 gigantic walking cathedral? Which, by the way, something that I had, no real, like, I knew that size varied with these. I didn't realize quite how much size varied. So there's some things that say that they're like about 55, 60 metres tall, but there's other things at Games Workshop have said that indicate that they can be up to 140 metres tall. Now, that's quite a significant difference, right?
Starting point is 00:54:56 Yeah, I've all that. 60 to 140 is a vast difference in how big that Titan is. And even if you take into consideration that the first Imperial Titans didn't have the cathedrals on their backs, because there wasn't an imperial cult, so there was no worshipping of the Emperor as a god. And so there were no monuments raised to him on the back of these things to kind of make them like an instrument of his divine will or whatever. that still doesn't quite account for a near 100 metre increase in height between some sources for these things
Starting point is 00:55:34 I mean that's a big cathedral right it's insane how big that is it's absolutely it's absolutely crazy so potentially an imperator could be what a hundred meters taller than the war master which is already bigger than the warlord. So mountain-sized mecks walking around absolutely just plastered in guns because it's not just that it's got two giant guns one on either side.
Starting point is 00:56:11 It's not just those. It's also got the full cathedral on its back which is basically just housing for more and more guns. Yeah, it's like when you think of like the Death Star, the Death Star does not just have the big gun. The entire surface is made of guns. And so the cathedral is a city of guns that house the crew. Also, I just like, like, you can probably punch a hole into the planet with some of those guns.
Starting point is 00:56:40 Like I like how they don't try to make the smaller guns and just stick more of them on their arms. You know, they just like gigantify the singular gun. They don't like strap five of the Warlord Titans plasma guns together for their arm They just make one really Fucking big plasma gun Yeah
Starting point is 00:57:02 Yeah It's why have lots of these When we can just have one gun the size of a city Why don't we just do that instead That'd be way better Lorgar would die from this one I think Yeah So how many people are crewing
Starting point is 00:57:16 Something of this magnitude Because there's a cathedral on its back. So this thing must... It must house like thousands of people, right? Maybe more? So that's something where there isn't like a definitive... There isn't like a definitive answer to it.
Starting point is 00:57:34 But given the... Just given the sheer size of it. In the word bearer's omnibus, there's a point where some of the Terminators fight up the legs of an imperial title called the... How do you pronounce it? Diaz, Diaz, Iri, Dees Iray, Dees Iray?
Starting point is 00:57:52 Um, and they fight through like a shedload of Admec just to get up to the knee to plant some explosives to then fight down the leg again. So it's like a squad of Terminators fighting, basically a small army within the leg of one of these things. Yeah. So it's got to be crude with, I mean, you have to say like, at least. least like a hundred just randoms. Oh yeah. In there. Essentially 100 randoms in the leg and God knows how many more you've got in like the chest and
Starting point is 00:58:30 the cathedral up top which is again like absolutely covered in guns at all times. It's like a walking country. Yeah. It's absolutely ridiculous. It's a really silly concept and I really like it. So the arm-mounted weapons that these things have got is a Hellstorm cannon and a plasma annihilator. So the plasma annihilator is just a giant plasma cannon, but gigantic to the size of... I mean, just look at this.
Starting point is 00:59:03 I love that, like the second picture up, where it's being fired on, and you can see that massive plasma annihilator. It's just the size of entire armies. and the Hellstorm canon is it's like the same as you find on things like the warlord which is a rapid fire weapon but it's mounted on something
Starting point is 00:59:26 bigger than anything like bigger than the army it's facing so each shell that comes out of that barrel has got to be like Bainblade sized right it's just it's just ridiculous
Starting point is 00:59:40 Bain blade sized shell imagine making that thing yeah I was mentioning earlier about how we want to you know you punch a bainbley and you throw it at somebody why not just fire the tank itself make it a bullet yeah so when
Starting point is 00:59:55 when would you field one of these things like how desperate of the situation does it have to be where you're like yeah send out the cathedral of guns that's the interesting concept right because like you will only ever send out the cathedral of guns
Starting point is 01:00:11 if you're not going to exterminate us the planet so the threat has to be so, but it's like a contradiction, because the threat has to be so enormous that it requires, not, um, they require something of an emperor class titan, but you need to make sure that you don't destroy the planet because it's too valuable to you.
Starting point is 01:00:31 So you can't exterminate autosite. But if you're bringing out a fucking emperor class titan, the planet's going to be gone. Like, like, what are you going to do? Maintain the manufacturer, like,
Starting point is 01:00:42 manufactorums. They're going to be slag. Would you send it out if like a forge world is in danger? And like you have to save the forge world, but it's like it's being overrun by chaos and nothing else can stop it. But you have to save the forge world, right? It's got to be like a strategic position. Like it's not about what's on the planet. It's about where the planet is probably.
Starting point is 01:01:04 Oh, right, right, right. I can imagine that. And you'd also want to be sure that you're not in like real risk of losing it as well. Because Imperativeus Titans, you're not just building. another one. If it's gone, it's gone. And they are so valuable in terms of the weapons they carry, the amount of technology
Starting point is 01:01:23 that goes into them. They're borderline they're like the opposite expendable. You can't lose one. So it is really... I feel like Shire's right where it's like defense duty on super important world or
Starting point is 01:01:38 in the case of the word bearers the word bearers omnibus where it's like deploying one because there is a vested interest from the admec where the potential gain is worth more than the potential loss of an Imperial Titan. Right. Which you have to assume it's got to be something like world-changingly good for the admec to warrant breaking one of these out. Yeah. Also, I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when they were going through the design phase of this thing.
Starting point is 01:02:10 Oh, let's put a cathedral on its shoulders. What? You've got to show you, you've got to show the emperor, he's Jew. You've got to give it him. He's, you know, giant walking cathedral. A walking city. Yeah, sure, sure. What says I love the emperor more than cathedral?
Starting point is 01:02:29 Absolutely ridiculous. So it's got the two armed weapons. They're, of course, absurdly powerful. But it does have up to six carapace-mounted secondary weapons, which are the ones that you get, from the other Titans. So like warlord slash warmaster sized
Starting point is 01:02:49 inferno guns or Megabolters or Apocalypse missile launches so you could potentially put six of those on one of these, which would be amazing. And that's just the secondary weapons in terms of
Starting point is 01:03:04 just all the other stuff they've got like Las Canyon placements and heavy bolters and all that kind of thing. There's not really enough for that, I'm assuming, because they're just absolutely plastered with them everywhere. Yeah. Because look at the amount of space you've got. You could fit weapons on every square inch of this thing, and it wouldn't really be all that much effort to do it. So has anyone ever made a tabletop version? Because I'm assuming there's no forge world model of this, because it
Starting point is 01:03:38 would be like $20,000. But has anyone ever, like, made a 3D printed one of this? You act like $20,000 would stop people. Wow, you think? You think somebody would do $20,000 if there was a forge world of this thing? Well, I mean, shit. But honestly, it's not about that. It's more about the, what was the thing that Shai mentioned before?
Starting point is 01:04:03 It was like, just have your buddy dress up as one. Yeah. Yeah, I guess, you know. Just cosplay it. Size-wise, sure. Whoa. People have built them, though, which is incredible. Wow.
Starting point is 01:04:22 That's, uh, that's, that's, that's, yeah, that's big. That's, holy shit. Literally, literally the size of the room. It's as tall as the room. That's the unfortunate part when you get to that level is that it just ends up looking kind of goofy because it's so big. Yeah, it's just too, too. much. You just can't reach that level of decal. How many points would that be, guys?
Starting point is 01:04:49 How many points? What would you even put the points value of that at? A warlord is 5 and a half thousand. And Perrysaw would be, I mean, could you even, would it even be sensible to do less than 20,000 points? No, it really wouldn't be. The thing, the thing steps on warlords. Yeah. It's just, it's crazy to think of it. about, like, that's just such a wild thing. It's peak 40K.
Starting point is 01:05:17 It's just fully gigantic walking cathedral with guns, the size of armies, that, you know, it's like anti-infantry gun is capable of creating entirely new land features every time it fires. And that's the one that's like, well. Changes the topography with its guns, yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, truly, why do you need to kill the enemy when the falling rubble will kill them instead? Yep, pretty much. The entire enemy army fell into a massive chasm that wasn't there until we fired the first shot, and then problem solved yourself, really.
Starting point is 01:05:57 Shai keeps posting pictures of people that have made these things, and it's just like, Jesus Christ. The dedication required is It's well up there It's well up there Yeah Looks like someone just took a bunch of scrap metal And just I don't know how will she do it
Starting point is 01:06:16 The size of it It's bigger than me Okay The mini is bigger than me Is that a goal To get to to build DK An Imperial Titan costume
Starting point is 01:06:29 Is that a thing that needs to be done Yo new Halloween Oh God No I'm good You've got a year. Let's go. You've got a year to making a Titan, an emperor-class Titan costume. You've got this. I've seen crazy.
Starting point is 01:06:44 I've seen crazy. So that's got to be the last Titan, right? That is the last Titan. That's got to be the coup de grace. There's nothing bigger than an emperor-class titan, right? No, there are no more Titans above the Imperial. I presume by that point, even Warhammer 40K physics would start to break down if you had something bigger than that. So, yeah,
Starting point is 01:07:07 it's the last one. But it is, it's like, it's properly like iconic. It's peak 40K. It's insanely over the top. I mean, Necron's had a death star, you know, like you can always get bigger. Well, as far as Titans are
Starting point is 01:07:23 concerned, right? Like, they're, they're going to be bigger, structure, sure. Like, the phalanx, for example, is just a mass of humanity that gets rammed into things. But as far as Titans are concerned. You don't get a whole lot bigger than the Imperator, Emperor class, whatever. This big cathedral on legs.
Starting point is 01:07:44 Especially when you consider how massively impractical it is. If you're being completely honest, there's a reason that humanity as a whole has not developed mechs, and it's because they're vastly inefficient for what they're supposed to do. And the idea of carrying round ammunition for a gun that big is hilarious, and why would you even bother? But they are like the ultimate symbol of power for the Imperium when it comes to planetary warfare, even though it's literally just a giant robot covered in guns,
Starting point is 01:08:16 which is the least intelligent thing you could do with all those resources, but they did it anyway, and it looks amazing. It's not about the logistics. It's about putting the fear of God into your enemies. It's about sending a message. It's the moral victory. Yeah. Can you imagine trying to reload the guns on this thing?
Starting point is 01:08:38 And then just imagine, like, the, the shell being unloaded, just falls on some of your allies and just creates a crater. I stopped giving a shit many editions ago. Screw it, man. Give them the bigger titan. The logistics of it are just so, like, not possible. Not worth it. And also not possible. I wonder how much friendly fire damage this thing has cost in its day.
Starting point is 01:09:08 Given the size of it and how much it must weigh, given the size of it, you surely couldn't even have it walk near an army, because as soon as it put its foot down, the shockwave would just knock over anything that isn't significantly heavy itself. Like, you can't have one of these walking next to infantry. Oh, no way. His foot down would deafen them and possibly kill them every single time. So even that by itself is like, so what, do you deploy this 100 miles away and hope that the damage to your own forces isn't too bad?
Starting point is 01:09:40 It's just, it's just so over the top. It is, it is. Well, I think that might be a good spot to kick it. Kick it? Kick it. Wow, what is this? The early 2000s? I have been known for my millennial humor.
Starting point is 01:10:02 I don't think I've ever heard someone say the words kick it outside of like Yo let's kick it Oh yeah it's like skater boy lingo in the late 90s Oh no I never said I never said I was proud of myself That's true that's the skater boy she said see you later boy He wasn't good to say, people will bitch if we don't mention Castigator.
Starting point is 01:10:38 The Castigator class autonomous bipedal weapons platform was a corrupt AI STC Titan. The Castigator was created during dark age of technology and was the original Titan design, with all new variants being incomplete attempts at copying the specifications. It was pulled into the warp. The catator was rediscovered when the ported re-emerged from a warped century later by a force of gray lights led by Justicar. A-Wark. A lot to destroy the Cassiator when it was commonized a devorn and Holvine destroyed the Titan's FTCC to prevent either from falling into the hands of chaos forces.
Starting point is 01:11:00 Castigator That's fair I did have that listed but I went carnivore and then I missed Castigator by accident I actually AI I know of the
Starting point is 01:11:14 The Cascigator Battle Tank from the Sisters of Battle and that's why I thought she meant and now I'm sad So the Custigator is hella heresy That is radical to the nth degree Full AI Titan
Starting point is 01:11:27 Terrible idea Yeah that does not sound like a great idea, especially when you know, AI goes crazy and let's kill all the humans. It had twin fucking cannon that shot demons as ammunition. Wow, what?
Starting point is 01:11:42 It shot demons as ammunition? What? So dumb. Did it really? All right. All right. We're getting out of hand here. Okay. That just sounds wild. Like, how do you use demons as ammunition?
Starting point is 01:11:58 I don't want to know how they use demons as ammunition. I don't want to... I mean, you know, you throw anything hard enough and it's going to hurt when it hits someone. So... Yeah, yeah. Listen, they fire grots as weapons as well, you know, so like... Yeah, but that's the orcs. Yeah, and these are... This is the forces of the imiterium. Well, I guess you're right. It's true. I think chaos have even less of a regard for lives. Or the or the orcs do. And physics. And physics, yeah. Yeah, yeah. All right. All right. Kick it, Bricky.
Starting point is 01:12:31 I'm calling it. We're calling it. We're wrapping it up. All right. Kick it. All right. Kick it. I want some, I want a nice, I think a grilled chicken.
Starting point is 01:12:41 I would like some lettuce and romaine, a little bit of salsa. And I want you to wrap it. Oh, my God. Why is it always chicken? You're so stupid. Why is that the theme that we come back to? Just cut the episode.
