TheGreatChonricler Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Hey I know I am a new member but i am generally familiarized with some of the lore of 40k. I was going through the titans articles and found the imperator-class. So i decided on asking for your help for what the average points for a titan class like this is and how tall should the model be. Since the warlord class is 2ft all is was thinking maybe 3-4ft for a imperator. Also if you have general experince with making Titans out of scratch it would be helpful to give some tips due to how expensive forgeworld is. " For the Emperor, For humanity Death to heretics."

Possessed Marine Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 The datasheet for it is on GW's website under apocalypse articles, as for how big it's supposed to be... 7ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajax Tlamunus Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 The Imperator Titan model in Epic was rendered in 1/700 scale, all the other vehicles in that game (including other Titans) were 1/350 scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatChonricler Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 well then i couldn`t find the points to it but thanks i will look more sooner. " For the Emperor, For humanity Death to heretics." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffersonian000 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Proper scaling is 8" Knight, 12" Warhound, 16" Reaver, 24" Warlord, 36" Emperor. However, most people build their Warlords and Emperors twice as big, for the"epic" feel of the model. The scaling I just listed is based on Titan height in meters per written sources, converted to the 30mm (Heroic 28mm) scale we currently use in 40k.

TheGreatChonricler Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 thanks i was just wondering because if i make a chapter there`s no fluff behind it but if i make the battles i fight the fluff. i personally think that its a more personal army than any blood ravens or blood angels.

KhorneHunter57x Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 The link to the PDF with the rules for the Emperor Titan is here, on the GW website (scroll down a bit for the Emperor datasheet). Also, for tips on scratch-building a Titan, there are several threads buried within the Adeptus Mechanicus sub-forum here on the B&C that deal with that topic. A word of advice, though - you will probably want some experience with scratch-building at a smaller scale before attempting to tackle a Titan.

Hellios Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 To be honest Titan size is tricky... as you get different sizes have been given and artwork of titans may have taken some license. If you are using forgeworld scale then around 36 inches is about right. The main body of the titan should be a bit larger than a Warlord with the fortress on top then adding more height. However I feel that the scale of the Forgeworld titans is wrong and that a more impressive 6/7ft Emperor is better. That being said a smaller one is far more practical.

General_Cairn Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 If the the titan is that big maybe it would make more sense to build a giant foot or leg pieces and use it as a stand in so you don't flip the table. always found the idea of an army battling a giant boot hilarious, mostly because the boot is probably going to win.
