The absurd ranges are, I think, just a holdover from days past. There used to be rules for official events where if you were in a team, you could fire from your table to a teammates to help them out 😂

I actually approve of the 120 inch range because it's basically you being able to have infinite range without you also being able to say "I Deathstrike the Necron player four tables across from me.'

The Amorcast Warhound Titan released in 1989. I saved up so much money and bought one when I was 10. It cost me $80 USD.

I printed a warlord titan. Cost me about $300.00 in resin and it's very fun to use in large apocalypse battles.

The earthshaker canon has 240 inch range. My favorite story is from my LGS. Someone declared their target on another table and the player said "go for it, I lost this match already"

The idea that someone walks up to a warhound titan and hits it with a thunder hammer is really funny to me for some reason. It's like Raiden fighting the Metal Gear Ray with nothing but a sword in MG rising.

Maybe. Titans existed in the 90s through Armourcast.

Spoke to other dads today, consensus was the same, just want to say your channel is one of the only ones that I let my ratlings (kiddos) watch to get into the hobby. Thanks for being wholesome AF 🤙 -Warhammer dad

1st Titans were actually made by Armorcast under license from GW in the early-mid 90s. They had all kinds of firsts including the Reaver and Warhound as well as the Baneblade, Eldar Titans, Ork Gargants and even a bunch of the big Tyranid beasts like the Exocrine

I just want a plastic titan in proper 40K scale. I feel like we’re actually getting close to something like that with so many forgeworld kids becoming plastic. Seeing the cerastes night coming out in plastic makes me feel even better about this possibility. Plastic titans and plastic Thunder Hawks. These are the only things I need and I will be happy forever.

Having an army of tanks, infantry and flyers vs another is a strategy game. Putting a single titan down is no longer a strategy game, it is a "Can you survive until the clock runs out?" scenario.

Jay please 3D scan your dogs face and add them to your black Templar army, you could finally make a unique space marine lieutenant!

Ill probably get one because i discovered that i have a fondness for walkers. Started collecting dreds then moved up to knights. Now i want to build a beaten up war weary warhound.

The white dwarf that introducted invulnerable saves for temriantors in 3rd edition repeated a story of a terminator surviving being stood on by a titan to explain why they gave them an invulnerable save.

Basilisk had 120” range for a long time. Deathstrike was released with UNLIMITED range if i remember correctly. 😆

A warhound could be the thing I need to prop up my deathguard list 🤔. (I know it is a terrible idea but at current state of the army, maybe not 😂)

love your content eons of battle, You should make a video on the brutalis dreadnought and add it to your black templar army

The warhound Titan is surprisingly viable in the game rn😂 towering +overwatch+flamers+ignoring cover, it's a spicy package

I have to say with my main army being sisters of battle and them getting kneecapped at the start of this edition, the warhound is looking mighty tempting, although I do already have a knight errant freeblade to take alongside them. Honestly given the warhound is the same height as a stompa I really do feel that they could easily produce a plastic warhound, however I think part of the reason they don't is because they want to have titan ownership have a feeling of exclusivity, and producing a cheaper plastic kit would cut into that aspect.

That long range of the quake cannon reminds me of the 13th Crusade campaign from way back when. Was battling with my Iron Warriors in the local GW store and we got shot at by the store in the next city by one of their Deathstrike missiles! Hardly surprising, it's basically an ICBM, or close to one. I also think that in a battle report from that time they were playing on multiple tables and had the basilisk SPGs shoot from one table to the next one.

List I've been mulling over, but don't have anywhere near the money or time to do. Chaos Space Marines army 1X Warhound Titan 6X 20 man Cultist mob. 3X Traitor Guard squad. One Hundred and fifty guys, and 1 freaking Titan. Would it be a good list? Absolutely not. Would it be hilarious? Yes.

I had the pleasure of playing firefight a few weeks ago. It is a Mantic Game in SciFi setting and it actually uses D8. It was a really fun and great game and it felt less awkward as the D6 games. So i agree. GW should consider giving up on D6

Titan melee weapons in lore are only meant for engaging knights, other titans and sometimes buildings

40k did used to used D20 dice set in Rouge trader, the game switched to D6 only in 2nd edition.

Guardsman survives a titan stomp and kills the titan with a bayonet charge!!! Thanks gents!! Fantastic as always!!!

You can 3d print one for $60 to $80. It’s way less then $600 to $1000 with all weapon options. Find a friend with a 3d printer, and get get one. They are so much fun to paint and you don’t have to take out a second mortgage to get one.

My favorite mathhammer of the episode is 120 inch range needing a 25 foot tape measurer…I think my little 12 foot hobby tape measurer should work fine…haha!!! I also like that two people are needed to handle such a large measurement. I love it!!!

I fielded a warhound against chaos a couple weeks ago, was doing great, the turbo laser annihilated all their vehicles and the mega bolter was doing fine work against their units, until they dropped 2 squads of obliterators right next to the Titan in turn 2 and they dealt 38/40 wounds, biggest of sads

I have an old Armorcast warhound titan I got from eBay and recebtly painted up. Since you don't get to see something like a titan often I decided to run it for the next crusade campaign. So far I lost most games but won against Custodes that didn't have enough anti-tank weapons. The games are quite short wich is a bonus imo. 4-5 hour games are a bit much. However the balancing is horrible wich can impede the fun.

Speaking of the titanic feet remember it took angron and lorgar's magic to stop from being crushed and any longer it probably would've killed them. So other units should just get one shot.

In the 90's there were 3rd party guys who made 40K scale Titans. I used to run into them regularly at conventions.

Titans started back in 2nd edition with the secondary market. Armorcast made them and they were great. Stupid expensive but still great.

The thing i dont like about the titans in 40k is that they are super overhyped, they are at the point where a warhound titan is smaller then an ATAT, but they are given the tital of God machines, and it takes centuries to build one of them, i know before they made models for any titan they were larger because they wanted to be ridiculously big, but now they are just way to small to be impressive, only like the imperator titan or whatever is impressive when you remember that if a titan was put into starwars, it would fit entirely in the lore that the clone juggernaut tank can run over a God machine, the small ones need to be larger, as is the size difference between the warhound and the larger knights is ay the point where other then the lore in how it's piloted, the size between knights and titans is not that big, smaller then the size difference in knights, it just really kills the hype when every metric that you look into for titans makes them not impressive, particularly when the imperium have like 8 different titans in lore while the lucky xenos have 1 titan, the closest thing to having 2 titans is the tau with one of them being a space ship, and the supermecy armor being priced like it's a titan

The easiest way to get more granularity in the dice rolling while not changing any of the current odds would be to switch to a D12. And it's not like GW hasn't used the D12 for 40k stuff before. There was that one version of Apocalypse where some things were rolled for with a D12 (the version that was its own rules & not 40k + more rules).

0:26 The Warhounds existed in 40k scale since 1989, thats when I brought my first one, the Reaver was a few years later, in 1990 I believe.

this is why 3d printing has gotten even bigger. when someone can spend way less and print a titan with as many options as they want

Any thoughts on if the warmaster titan becomes the next biggest model, its already in adeptus mechanicus and it could be here in the close future

This is such a fun episode!

I'd be curious about your take on things that have Titanic like Tau Stormsurge 465, etc. or the FW Ta'unar at 790 pts

The thing is Titans are insanely expensive but their quality in games is all over the place, which means that it might not be a good investment and you just burned several thousand dollars/euros. You *could* buy a Titan, but that doesn’t mean you *should* buy a Titan.

Damn you, now I have the scene in Eisenhorn when he releases Cherubael to kill the Titan in the arctic in (I think) the 3rd book. Oh well, they’re worth reading again (or listening to today, while I purge the unclean on Atoma Prime).

.... i just bought my first titan. Its a warbringer with full volcano cannon loadout. Im finishing up my titanicus set then starting on it. My games club does mega battles and i want him built ready for the game, not necessarily painted though

Thanks mate for fixing me on again 😂👌

What are the small Titans? Which you can buy nowadays, scouts or reaver

I suddenly want a Plushie Titan

There is a story of a spacewolf on terminator armor stepped on by a titan, and he stands up and keeps pushing forward.

The Reaver definitely doesn’t look like it can take as many hits as the warhound

We played several apocalypse games which 6 4x8 tables, and have see warlord Titan crotch builds , thunder hawks and all out shenanigans

hello I just wanna say have a great day y'all

back when i was playing my first imperial knight in 6th edition... or was it 7th? the warlords foot was an auto hit, small blast template with strength D. meaning it insta killed infantry and automatically blew up tanks, only dealing massive damage to other titans. but characters could do a last second dive out of the way. i miss those days... i also really dont. 6th was both amazing and terrible... when you would stomp with titans your number of attacks was how many steps you took and each attach had to line up with the feet moving across the board, ending with the model actually finishing its full move.

You missed the turbo laser destructor 72 inch range d3 +3 +3bs strength 20 ap 3 2 d6 damage on the warhound scout titan

Doesn’t the Warhound also get the turbolaser destructor?

“I don’t think anything can possibly contest an objective with this thing” you fool, I can have 42 OC with a unit of 20 Grots, I only need 80 Points to take that objective. Get me in there, let me at ‘em, I’m ready, the nails are biting.

As for titans not being able to kick stuff really well (4+), this is actually rather realistic. Lifting a foot is by itself a real feat on a bipedal robot laden with humongous unbalanced weapons mounted on it. So for explanation you could simply assume the movement of the foot in a way that is not a walking motion is pretty slow, as compared to swinging a large melee weapon. The chance of a human sized target just running away is pretty big. The timing it would require to kick something that is actually moving is actually much harder than you would think. Compare it with an elephant, it is not the most agile animal and its feet will crush you with the sheer weight, but most certainly not kick you like a donkey or kangaroo can... So any Titan that swings an actual melee weapon in an articulated arm and hand will obviously hit the same way like a smaller person, but stomping stuff is not that easy :-) Try stomping a live mouse.

urm actualy the cadian/kreig/catachan/infantry squads can beat a warlord in oc if they come with a command squad and a regimental standard in said squad it has like 35 or something like that

Currently you have to say that in terms of range you have to say that "Engine War" cannot be compared to anything that has existed before, in the lore it is described as "In engine war, more often than not, given the range and power of a Titan’s arsenal, your opponent was likely to be beyond visual acquisition anyway. Most engine fights took place at a distance of five kilometers plus. Throne help you if you got up close." And in the final battle for Orestes, the enemy engine collection received fire from Imperator's Loyal Engines from a distance of fifteen kilometers "bombarding the enemy host from distances of up to fifteen kilometers." in preparation for the tactical forces Shifting. Furthermore, any weapon is significantly too weak in the tabletop and no matter what infantry armor, it protects a maximum of the 3rd or 4th soldier in a straight line against the bolter fire of a warhound and that only because the bolter round explodes itself. Voids shields are very difficult to understand even in the lore because there are big differences even in the same pattern/type so 5 mars pattern warlords of the same year of production can have 5 different shield weak points. Which of course is always an advantage for the empire since every machine previously belonged to the empire and thus such errors or weak points in the mechanics were catalogized. Furthermore, one has to say that "wounds" are of course a balance factor. Such a Titan doesn't care whether guardsmen or tyranids or space marines are knocking on the armor. Even heavier artillery rarely gets Titan's attention, let alone the minefields. They are only a danger against heavily damaged Titan and even then usually only due to gyro damage and the associated risk of an accident, which would be a death sentence for a titan

We played a 100k apocalypse game where the scenario was we needed to stop abbadon. Where my full legio (5 titans in total) got to walk alongside my full knight house (18 knights). It was a blast we all joked that Abaddon was terrified and hid in a set of ruins the ENTIRE 5 rounds. The chaos players made the mistake of saying "dont worry about the titans just shoot at the objective controllers." Yeah... 2 turns of ignoring my legio and 45% of the enemy army obliterated. There isnt a joyous feeling that can describe this. Two warhounds, 1 reaver, 1 warbringer, 1 warlord walked. I agree the reaver is my favorite and most used titan and he has yet to die in an apocalypse battle.

I have a scratch build Nurgle Warlord Titan, He has only played in one game , once the realized he could hit the whole table e did not bothered to measure range him, we joked he could hit the bathroom :) He did not move the whole game , he did not need to to.

can some of the bigger titans blow through buildings and so on?

Games workshop should release a box called chapter box where it is just a ridicules amount of something for like $1000 and they could do like different names for the different factions like the Waag for Orks or fleet for the nods

Actually, if you run a squad of plaguebearers, and a soilpox scriviner, that EQUALS OC 30, for the plaguebearers alone. So...they could contest it, i guess lol

Everyone should 3D print a Titan to add to their shelf

Titans worked fine in early 40k, when you had percentile armour modifications, like -12 for a plasma cannon on overcharge, armour saves for things like Terminators being on 2ds, and you had things like defence lasers on the battlefield, it only bacame difficult to balance them, when they tried to dumb the game down, by removing armour facings, templates etc, and introducing all the stratagems, which made balancing anythings points almost impossible.

If only volkite still had stats, I always wondered what the titan sized volkite guns would be like

So I'm guessing most of you guys have never played the old 40k apocalypse when you're supposed to put several tables together and used normal 40k models. It was pretty awesome.

This video is a win just for the "bug stomper" t-shirt 😉

Can somebody please help me, I have been scurrying through Warhammer community and the rest of the internet and i just can’t find the new points costs anywhere, everything still says Warhound Titan at 2000 points, can someone help a fellow out and throw me a link?

I mean, a titan fist could easily miss especially if it is targeting a lone guardsman. Like, have you ever tried punching an ant? Me neither, but still I could imagine that maybe it’s less a case of missing the target and more so that maybe the target by sheer luck finds a spot between the fingers to survive in, or being such a small target it’s hard to hit directly.

The old Reaver model is realy the best one. It looks scary as hell.

Finally someone agrees with me on 40k arm length. Why do the arms on everything taller than a dreadnought only go to the waist? How is that practical? I hated this so much that I extended the length of my Chaos Knight Rampager by about 1.5".

I have 4 imperial knights just because I got them each at a great price.. but now I may try and get one into an army😂

To solve your issue with out people having to go out and find D8s,D10s,,D12s which are stupid hard to find in bulk at a good price like only Dice shop online does but still... The solution is roll more dice or add fixed extra damage that add to your hits... That said imagine 40k moving to a D20 system for granularity and you still have to roll dozens of dice.... The would be both glorious and nuts.

Ripper swarm vs titan who’s holding the objective

ONE game, NornQueenAlexis conned me into an apoc game. On a normal table. She showed me that we should have used the entire shop floor for the game instead. How? Turn 1, before I got a chance to maneuver or shoot, her Tyranid MCs were in my deployment area mauling all my infantry and guns. She was playing nids, I was playing guard. What he says about the larger titans being fire magnets... well, he's not wrong.

well now you can actually field a warhound titan in 40k, as it is only 1100 points now :D so make a knight army with a Warhound titan :D

A particularly determined Knight-Gallant can one-shot a Warhound Titan. It's not guaranteed by any means but it's possible.

I know it's not correct as far as the lore goes... but can we see a black Templar titan on here?! I think it'd be cool with the weapons covered in chains and the crosses!

A 10man Deathwing Command Squad with an attached Ancient in Terminator Armor matchen the Warlord with 30 OC as long as they can stay unharmed 😅

🎵Teenage Mutant🎵 SALAMANDER!!

I am just waiting for the warmaster titan to come out.

Or you 3D print a Warlord Titan for roughly 250 dollars in resin and this includes multiple weapons

Were can I even find a Titan I cant find them the GW Web page

I kind of just want to bring a space marine action figure to a game and play him as a titan but in universe hes just radioactive

Believe it or not a group of 20 cadian shock troops how have oc2 each can hold an objective against a warlord titan

A squad of 10 guardsmen can take an objective away from a warlord titan with an order... I love my guard : )

I still dont get what are the différent point cost for the titan Thé first one is 1100 but the other ?

I love titans. They are my favorite thing in the 40k universe, in fact. I do not understand the point of titans in mainline 40k. They belong in Epic/Adeptus Titanicus, where they originally came from. Also, I quite like the warbringer. It's significantly different than the reaver in Adeptus Titanicus. It's slower, and it's main weapon being carapace mounted is a disadvantage. Also, the reaver's carapace mount has a 360° arc of fire, which is pretty useful.

Only if you print them haha

It is semi funny of his obliviousness of the militarum who can basically Field a war hound by having two Baneblade variants

I love the titans, but seeing the absurd price, I look to the past. The Armorcast titans are sick and derpy at the same time. Usually much less expensive.

Now imagine if you will, the imperator titan, witch has more guns than the warlord, and is a transport. I really want an official version to exist to have my toddler sized walking cathedral being probably 40000 points on its own

Take this as a grain of salt but, 40k Titan: Unpainted, basic range of movement, have to work with resin, hard to get - 1000+$ Perfect Grade Unleased RX 78: sculpted panel line and details on both armor and inner frame, colours are there, high quality plastic, snap fit, opening hatch gimmick, Leds, high range of movement - 300+$ Gw got a long way to go

Someone actually played Warhound titan + stuff at the Tacoma 40K tournament. They didn’t win or even come close but I’m sure they had a ton of fun. I’ll never own one because I’m not going to spend that kind of money on forgeworld resin, and I’m not going to be doing any 3d printing anytime soon either with the fumes (among other things). I looked into printing enough to say “this won’t be for me”

I'd like to see Titan standees in the right size

DOG DOG DOG!

Re: locking them in combat.. isn't the titanic rule that they can leave combat without penalty?

My issue with titans is how are you going to fit one into a game

"Hey guys. Ready for our game?" "Yeah. Let's set up." Puts out teddy bear. Everyone laughs at you. "What's that for? In case you get scared?" "It's my Imperial Warlord Teddy Bear. Careful, he has claws."

I want a revenant titan for my ulthwe army... BUT I AIN'T PAYING MY COLLEGE FUND FOR IT

A full 20 man of Primaris Crusader Squad could out OC the titan if they have at least 16 alive (or have the ancient with them). Also land raiders are sadly only T 12 :c
