Kyogen Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 To address a few of the questions and suppositions on the Imperator in the first post. The Imperator in the first photo was sculpted by Mike Biasi during the time of the Armorcast license as a personal side project. That photo was taken in his home shop. It is 40 inches high and was scaled up from the Epic models the same way the other Armorcast Titans were (using GW's published Titan heights from Adeptus Titanicus). We did not have the option to drastically alter the sizes of Titans like Forge World does. If I remember correctly the actual size would have been 36" , but Mike made it a little taller. The Legio Mortis Dies Irae Imperator Titan is listed in the HH novels as 43 meters high. Using a figure height scale of 1" = 5' (1/60th scale), this comes out to 28" tall in 40K "scale", so would be smaller than Mike's model. Regarding the lack of detail, no detail has been added at all. Detail would have been added after the basic structure was finished. The Plasma gun is not a plunger, but a machined resin piece... Casting it would have been really exciting, but it could have been done. We were looking at a price of around $1200. Tim DuPertuis Armorcast Owner 1995-2007 Well that clears up a lot of stuff :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solid Zaku Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Well, as far as destructing the ole Imperators, a squad of Chaos Marine Terminators managed to fight their way onto the leg of one, set some charges, and blow its leg out from under it.

Dreachon Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Dark Apostle, careless deployment by the imperials allows the WB terminators to board the Imperator, place melta-charges within it's leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im terrible at painting Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 didnt i read somewhere that that titan was capable of shooting space marine battlebarges outa orbit <_< course dont get me wrong i also read where the imperator was capable of transporting a sm company in its "legs" now that would be some phat transportation for the marines :D course any space marine on the recieving end of anywhere and enemy imperator looked would be doing the codex thing aka callin for evac while the orbital strike is inbound ur under the imperitor rules that were reliced to day, it can.

jeffersonian000 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Just posted at Games Workshop: Imperator Ttitan datafax, costing 4000pts! http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_Custom...attle_Titan.pdf SJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accommodator Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Yeah, and this datafax is a demotivator for me to complete the Imperator. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhydin Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Well !%@# this, I'm off to build up Warhammer Fantasy Battle army, I'm not going to lose every single one of my marines every game to a unit that can Poop twice my numbers in minutes, destroy entire cities in seconds, and traverse the ENTIRE table six to eight times per turn...

jeffersonian000 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 While I find the datafax underwhelming, I do like that toned-down natured of the Emperor as it gives an easier to reach goal for building a couple of them. I'm just annoyed at the typo's: Vengence Cannon shown on the Carapace yet not in the stats, firing ports not able to fire to the left, and no mention on how many passengers can actually fire from the ports. That said, I'm still building two ("Why build only one when you can build two at twice the price!"). SJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulson games Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I fear nothing that is armed with a plunger! However I have much respect, and will steer well clear if it's recently been in brownwater, ick. :sick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accommodator Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I fear nothing that is armed with a plunger!As pointed out, that piece is machine tooled resin. And at 2inches across, is really way too small to be a plunger, despite the shape. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prathios Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Hey guys just an fyi, (I just saw this thread) in the book Titanicus Dan Abnett mentions that an Emperator has void shields capable of weathering orbital fire indefinitely. They simply can't focus enough fire on its shields from orbit to overload them. *Titanicus Spoiler* It takes roughly 40 titans, which are a mix of reavers, warlords, and a couple warhounds slaving their targeting system to one titan and focusing an alpha strike on one portion of the shields to down this beast. So as far as table-top games go it should be physically impossible to defeat one of these. And of course if Abnett says it of course its true right? <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
