As many people have brought up valid points I would like to make an addendum to the Titan’s asskicking ability. It is best used for murdering models and not capturing objectives. But really, if you try and do anything but murder big models exclusively, are you really living the 41st Millennium dream?
It is genuinely cheaper to buy a printer, screw up two packages of FEPs, replace the screen, and still manage to print out one of all the Titans and all weapon options than it is to just buy one fully kitted out Warhound.
Definitely, I bought a used Ender 3 pro for $75, added a upgraded motherboard for another $55 and then I printed the warlord titan in full with about 3-4 1kg rolls of $21 filament. Which in total is about $214 dollars, and I was able to print a Leman russ, four squads of cadian infantry, a warhound titan, a Knight crusader, and more for cheaper.
Option 4: Get a stuffed animal to act as a titan. Can you imagine space marines fighting a collossal and fuzzy teddy bear? That is a fight I want to see.
That or take your MechaGodzilla Toy to act as one, as long as it’s not official tournaments. Anime Mechs for the Tau and Eldar stuff and arts and craft for the Ork

The closest thing to a lore issue they have is that it’s never explained how it doesn’t violate the square cubed law. But if anything, that’s the lore equivalent of being a feature, not a bug. Who’s gonna look at an Imperator as tell it it shouldn’t exist?
Also how their leg joints aren't a gigantic, glaring weak spot that make infantry with AT weapons their biggest enemies. Like, for real, it's described a few times that I've seen that their void shields project out around them and aren't tightly formed to the machine's surface, so some suicidal soul running up and slapping a melta bomb onto its foot-area, or two or three soldiers hiding in cover until it trundles past them and they can take a shot at the sides and rear of its knee-joint, should be able to bring one crashing down really reliably. Unless their knee joints are made of some material harder than the frontal armor of any tank in the setting, I suppose. I'm not sure how much that would apply to Xenos Titans, though. Not nearly as much, I suspect.
@@SirKickBan Their knee joints would have to be made out of something that could realistically support the weight of a building (ie the equivalent of about 250,000 tons at that point tank armour crumbles like wet tissue paper), Anything short of crashing an airliner into the titan shouldn't be cause for concern.
@@SirKickBan Infantry IS considered a Titan weakness provided they can get close enough to get in the Titan (unless they have a very specific OP weapon they're not doing anything on the outside) but most larger Titan have their own infantry inside to counter such tactics.

Fun fact, you can go to any animal shelter and buy a one-of-a-kind pre-painted Felinid Biotitan. It's rules are a bit odd: It gets to ignore your orders as well as the turn order, but is functionally indestructible and can destroy not just armies but terrain pieces!
Honestly given the size of those legs (about 20m tall) and the acceleration due to gravity an Imperator titan would have to move at a minimum of 30m/s (about 3 times faster than Usain Bolt) just to maintain decent stability without shuffling. This translates to around 108 km/h or 67 mph. in other words Imperator titans literally have to move at HIGHWAY SPEEDS just to maintain some semblance of walking and balance. Note that this is a minimum walking speed. Actual movement speed can be higher, especially if the Imperator can run.
Your reviews give me sort of mandalore vibes in the objective breakdown of things. I really enjoy your videos man i hope they blow up they deserve to be seen!
This^. I already wanted a 3d printer for other stuff, printed out a Warhound for I believe about £25. Given the printer cost what, £150 ish, that was still a fraction the cost of the real thing. And I could make more, if I wanted.
The lore flaw is that if you can fit a titan killing gun on a titan, you can fit it on a star ship, which means you should 100% get it mounted on a ship and just orbital bombard the titan whenever one appears on the battlefield because of course that's what you should do.
@@andrewshepherd1537 it doesn't have to be a world ending cannon. The heresy trailer shows a titan getting nuked by the vengeful spirit and (unless Horus's capital ship was told to kill him as he was on the planet) it didn't blow up the planet.
Bringing a warship to a titan fight can’t end up as anything but some sort of pyrrhic victory. I can’t really see the Admech letting a titan legion/part of a legion/a single god machine be bullied by a spaceship. Once they find out every Arc Mechanicus, explorator fleet and imperial spaceship the tech priests can hijack is going to come reeing through the warp loudly enough that the psykers on that fleet will be asking what all the screeching is about a couple days ahead of arrival. It’s all fun and games till the Admech decides to ask big daddy Speranza to make you telefrag yourself.
As weird as it sounds, getting a Titan on the ground for combat is somewhat less complicated than engaging in orbital bombardment, and it allows for exponentially more precision. Think of it as the difference between shooting a target while you’re sitting in a helicopter… and shooting the same target with the same gun from the international space station.
When I was a kid a local convention would end in a giant combination 40k/Battlefleet Gothic mega game. It was a 24 hour long game that used roughly half a ballroom with about 10 people a side. I never played in it but you haven't truly experienced 40k until you've seen 5 of these things per side alongside about 1000 other models.
I believe an acceptable proxy, is to make a Titan leg :P After all, depending on source, these things are so damn big none of the other combatants are likely to see more than that anyway :D
One Warhound is 2000pts. They're a good way to introduce relatively new players to the concept of "you need more than just a few guys with guns". They die easily to massed anti-tank firepower but if your opponent just takes intercessors they won't do anything to you.
When he mentioned adding a Warhound to a 40k army and "how it would effect the balance of your Mechanicus army". I felt personally attacked....because that's exactly what I did with my Mechanicus army....
I got a friend at my work who does 3d printed works for people who commission pieces from him. One of his more recent projects was a 3ft. tall titan for a guys 40k army, it sounded pretty cool.

I’m staring to collect orks and I wanted a GORK or MORKanaught but it’s 100$ per so I think I’ll wait on that but the call of da green gods is to great
well, i have to disagree with the;"just bring a titan & your oponent loses if they do not have one"; I have seen a 2k game where sb brought just a warhound and nothing more because its exactly 2k points the other brought tyranids. turn 1 the tyranids tryed and failed to do any signifant damage than just ignored the thing for the rest of the game to do objektives. The warhound anhilated 1-3 units per turn but scored basicly no points. tyranids won with like 45vp while the warhound had like 18.
I mean, I hesitate to call the T'aunar Supremacy Armor a titan, but it's the closest you can get in a reasonable 40k game, you'll only have to sell one kidney instead of both to afford it, and you can actually run OTHER MODELS with it! Crazy, right? And I mean, just look at that thing. It's beautiful.
Eh, you're overstating their effectiveness. They're pretty tough, with the warlord probably being the toughest unit in 40k BUT they're not efficient. You'll be hard-pressed to make back their points cost unless your opponent brought a lot of very pricey high-point vehicles or a titan that's weaker than yours. If you're shooting at baneblade-equivalent enemies than most titans will be able to destroy 3 per turn tops. A warhound is the least expensive imperial/chaos titan but it will probably only be able to kill 1 baneblade per turn. Any model weaker than a baneblade will probably get wiped by a hit from any of their main weapons but these units are rarely going to be worthwhile targets Again, they're pretty tough but they need support that you probably can't afford since you put thousands of points into a single model. Enough anti-tank weapons will kill them, especially if it's terminators that get into melee. Attrition is a bitch and even heavy bolter spam will take down a titan eventually Titans are hella-fun on the tabletop but you're probably going to lose if you take one and your opponent doesn't
They arnt even tough anymore. T9 and only a 5+ that GOES AWAY real fast. eldar titans get a flat 4+ invuln till they die, those are tough mofos. Imperial and chaos titans are glass cannons.
I was hoping the Do or Don't you were planning in your community post was going to be Kill Team, but I still appreciate it, especially with that Battletech shoutout at the end.
2:20 Titans are full of lore based flaws. For one, infantry can just walk under their shield and blow their generators out. Or put explosives under the armor plating. Kind of like siege the vehicle, as it has scitari guardians. This is why Titans always have escorts around them. Don't believe me? Well guess what. Knights do that. Hide in rubles, destroyed buildings, than Melee down the enemy titan, by rushing it down. A lot of Baneblade variants do the same thing. Hide in wait, till another Titan takes off the shield of another, or till the enemy Titan is occupied. Than strike, by either just shooting it, or reposition, drive under the enemy Titans shield and strike at it's most vulnerable point. Basically a critical strike. As if you strike a critical point, like a leg joint, generator. Than you basically crippled the Titan, and it's at best unmoving, or at worst falling.
Isn't there also a tank ace that has plenty of titan kills under his name, as well as several destroyed tanks per skirmish? And when I say tank, I mean Leman Russes, not something like a Baneblade or Stormblade that's designed to kill titans.
@@andrewryan4417 Plenty. I don't know the model or names from head. But usually there are variants and companies for this. Titans can be literally sieged, or attacked under the shield. While their Armor is thick, smaller vehicles can angle under it. A melta shot angle under the armor plate does extreme damage.
@@target4all766 OH. I REMEMBER THAT. How was it?.. How was it..? "Zahah, you Swore to me!". The Orcs have collapsed a large, larger than the Titan, building onto the Titan, and it knocked off the void shield of the Titan. While this have not harmed the Titan, it greatly offended the Titan Spirit, and killed the pilot. Who was bought back by Grimaldus. If the Orcs would've had a greater offense or enough dakka, they could've harmed the Titan greatly, as it was now both harmless and only protected by it's armor plating and rubble. Where it had those. Richard Boylans Helsreach Part 11, around 5 minutes mark.
I have more than once thought of the possibility of building warhammer models out of lego. Edit: I'd say that the KX139 Ta'unar Supremacy Armor also qualifies as a titan, considering that it costs more than a Tyrranid Hierophant and looks a lot like a titan.
I love how the largest titan you can buy is shin high to the 7 foot tall cathedral that if you even want you best know how to build because gw isn’t gonna even try and make something that big
No it isn't worth it: 1- Outside apocalypse games you won't find another player to use it with. So your just payed 500-2k just to keep the thing in the closet. 2- Painting it is a pain in the ass. 3- This might be fixed in recent Edition , but surprisingly a large group of Necron Warriors can down it.
There are such fortifications and force multipliers that require titans. They are not impractical. You have huge demon engines and primarch demons. You need titans in those battles. Ten million Leman Russ tanks won't do anything to Angron.
i miss the 8th edition stompa battalion. Now that its actually possible to put 3 stompas in a 2000 point game you dont get buffs for doing it??? What the hell, gdub
Last week had a 2 vs 2 game of 40k. Our team, we both had death guard armies. Our opponents had chaos space marines (alpha legion) and Titans... or rather one titan. First round we focused all our fire power on that titan.. and it died surprisingly cause it kept failing saves... like so many failed saves. Afterwards the rest of match was pretty easy.
As many people have brought up valid points I would like to make an addendum to the Titan’s asskicking ability.

And when I say tank, I mean Leman Russes, not something like a Baneblade or Stormblade that's designed to kill titans.
@@andrewryan4417 Plenty. I don't know the model or names from head. But usually there are variants and companies for this.
Titans can be literally sieged, or attacked under the shield. While their Armor is thick, smaller vehicles can angle under it. A melta shot angle under the armor plate does extreme damage.
in the books battel of Hellsreach Ork Blow Up the Buildings surrounding a Emperor Titan to bring him down
@@target4all766 OH. I REMEMBER THAT. How was it?.. How was it..? "Zahah, you Swore to me!".
The Orcs have collapsed a large, larger than the Titan, building onto the Titan, and it knocked off the void shield of the Titan. While this have not harmed the Titan, it greatly offended the Titan Spirit, and killed the pilot. Who was bought back by Grimaldus.
If the Orcs would've had a greater offense or enough dakka, they could've harmed the Titan greatly, as it was now both harmless and only protected by it's armor plating and rubble. Where it had those.

Noosphere started playing in the conclusion
If godzilla monster isn't your thing what about a dozen scrap yards fussing into one walking warcrime with a hunger for destruction? Luv me boys.
Love your content bro!
Holy shit that titan absolutely zooms
Lotta talk for a group who's emperor class titan was killed by an 2 Orks, a gretchin ,a squig, a shokkjump dragsta, and a trusty snaz hamma
Orkish and/or Imperial propaganda, I choose to believe it didn’t happen
I like to think Henry is watching and already has a craft world army.
Man that beginning was quite cheeky and funny
1:45 That is now my go-to description of Titans.
the ending was a creme de la creme addition
Every time I play UA as the guard I drag it out as long as possible because it’s so fucking funny to me
Livin' down in Jersey, fighting villains from afar!
You gotta find first gear, in your giant robot car!
YOU! DIG! GIANT ROBOTS!
I! DIG! GIANT ROBOTS!
WE! DIG! GIANT ROBOTS!
CHICKS! DIG! GIANT ROBOTS!
Nice! (guitar hit)
I have more than once thought of the possibility of building warhammer models out of lego.
Edit: I'd say that the KX139 Ta'unar Supremacy Armor also qualifies as a titan, considering that it costs more than a Tyrranid Hierophant and looks a lot like a titan.
I feel like this was all an ad for Battlemech's. I'm in.
0:53 I still find it hilarious that in a way orca have the most logical titans
i love this part because i can imagine this happening 😂 1:47
Merry Christmas to you sir
More of these love the vids bro
A shame the Tyranids only have one titan left. Back in Epic there was more variety
Ultimate apocalypse what a fun time
4:38 Fix it but add a cheat command that makes it happen so you can enjoy it.
The in-universe reason is making one bankrupt 20 planets and fielding one bankrupt 3 more.
Was not expecting you to tell people to play battletech at the end but hell yeah maybe more than 3 people in my state will get into it
I like option 2 - 3d print one. It is a viable option these days
I love how the largest titan you can buy is shin high to the 7 foot tall cathedral that if you even want you best know how to build because gw isn’t gonna even try and make something that big
No it isn't worth it:
1- Outside apocalypse games you won't find another player to use it with. So your just payed 500-2k just to keep the thing in the closet.
2- Painting it is a pain in the ass.
3- This might be fixed in recent Edition , but surprisingly a large group of Necron Warriors can down it.
Everybody gangsta, til the church starts walkin 😂
Imagine two rich 40k fans playing a titancus match with the full sized titans and knights instead of the normal scaled down ones
0:52 I want that quote printed on the first page of the next Titan codex.
God that ending had me in stitches
Merry Christmas everyone
i like how you put Knights just to trigger people.
Adeptus titanicus needs more attention
There are such fortifications and force multipliers that require titans. They are not impractical. You have huge demon engines and primarch demons. You need titans in those battles. Ten million Leman Russ tanks won't do anything to Angron.
i miss the 8th edition stompa battalion. Now that its actually possible to put 3 stompas in a 2000 point game you dont get buffs for doing it??? What the hell, gdub
Last week had a 2 vs 2 game of 40k. Our team, we both had death guard armies. Our opponents had chaos space marines (alpha legion) and Titans... or rather one titan. First round we focused all our fire power on that titan.. and it died surprisingly cause it kept failing saves... like so many failed saves. Afterwards the rest of match was pretty easy.
merry christmas to you too
No Ork gargant's?
As an ork player, i would build stompas and gargants out of modded toy robots and spare weapons from kit leftovers and small pvc piping.
i lov ur videos sir
Merry Christmas
The Tau have the KX 139 Ta'unar sumpremacy armour as a titan
I knew you couldn't do this video without mentioning Battletech. Aka Warhammer for Gundam fans.
*Warhammer but they respect you
Any chance to tell people to not support GW is a chance I’ll take
Happy xmas to you
4:13
Missed chance to talk about the Steppy Steppies.
The tyranid titan is clearly the best because it’s doing the jack-o pose.
Ork players just take a bucket, dollar store toy guns, and literal plastic trash and paint them to look like a titan.
Titanic units: everybody gangster till the church drops from low orbit
Man I want a orc titan’s
