I hope you know I’m expecting you to go over all the epic titan class models in a second video. You’ve broken the seal and now the random 90’s era goofy models must be satisfied (highly recommend 2d4chan for a semi comprehensive list, it’s a mirror of 1d4chan since it’s pretty much dead. Always glad to see you put out a video, especially longer more comprehensive ones)
Fun fact, they actually did used to give some weapons infinite ranges, the reason they stopped is because people were calling up stores and dropping Deathstrike Missiles into the middle of random games
I remember my old lgs allowing that a few times, with the stipulation that the person calling in the strike had to have the model actively deployed on an actual table. Didn't have to be in the store, but the person had to provide proof that they weren't just being funny
The fun part about Tyranid bio-titans is that they are made during the invasion. Meaning your millennia old titans are being killed by swarms of week old bio-titans.

In front of you are two choices. You watch the old Titan video, and you get not even 5 minutes of rushed together slop. You watch the new Titan video, and you get minutes straight of rules over a background picture. The third choice is not watching either but that one doesn’t make internet number go up so I’d prefer if you choose option 1 or 2.
I love that Space Marine 2 has a derelict emperor titan in the scenery of one of the missions. We now have an official scale represenation of the beast in 3D.
@@creed2466 I'm sure it is the same. I've just seen the largest imperial titans named as either Imperator or Emperor class. They could be one in the same in general or there could be differences in armaments. shrug. Just enjoying the details of the game though.
The Tau Mantas took out 2 unsupported warhound titans. Then the AdMech refused to deploy more titans unless they got proper air and ground support. When they did, well, the Exodite animation is a good reference.
They weren't even Mantas, they were just Tiger Sharks. The Tau responded to priceless God machines by putting mass produced cannons on mass produced fighter craft and just casually shooting them.
the Exodite is ass for that scene alone. That is not how Mantas are used. That is not how Titans are used. Its fanboyism and I refuse to view it in another fashion. t. Necron player
@@NukefandangoI hate the Tau and all, but it's amazing what proper, well maintained technology, with well calculated firepower can do huh? Truly, E= MC² is the best thing out there.
@@pessien8474 It's like people forget that 40k's methods are whatever the EXACT opposite of efficient military action is. It seems like they don't get that there's a reason that multi-gigaton missiles aren't useful when you need a single megatons to kill an entire army.
Fun fact, Apocalypse in its original format HAD Infinite range guns. Them and the Deathstrike Missle Launcher. During debut day, people would set up for big games, and part way through we'd get a call from another store 20 mins away saying they were firing on us.

12:00 Horus Heresy nerd here. About a dozen Chaos Knights killed an Imperator-class titan, the Paragon Of Terra, during the Battle of Molech. Granted, Dark Mechanicum magi had covertly sabotaged the Titan’s reactor and shields prior to the battle, but it was an impressive feat nonetheless
That's how the halo Gravity Hammer works. Jets on the side of the hammer allow you to swing it like a baseball bat even though it has the mass of a motorcycle
The Eldars Warlock Titan actually did reappear in the Lore in the Adeptus Titanicus game. It was wrecking every Imperial Titan it came up against, but ended up being destroyed by Imperial Psi Titans. It did release a Psychic Backlash, but instead of opening up a Warp Rift, it drove all the Eldar nearby into being Murderously Depressed, and the Eldar started to throw themselves agaisnt the Imperium rather than fighting like they usually do.
Probably looked at the Manta then was like, "In a video about titans, why consider the small fry when you have the whole potato?" The Ta'unar Supremacy armor is cool though. Still enjoy the video a lot.
Also came here for this. The supremacy armor is basically the equivalent of a warhound. And could probably take one in a 1 on 1 fight. I'm suprised it didn't even get mentioned.
Mate, you need to stop downplaying the "watchability" of these long format videos. I can genuinely, honestly listen to you talking about 40K and BattleTech stuff for hours (and on some days in traffic, I have). Love the amount of detail you put into both the lore and tabletop stuff, helps people like me that have been in the hobby for years but never decided on an army.
I played in an apocalypse game that is held every year at a convention in California. I think there were like 6 or 7 warlord titans, and probably a dozen war hound, but the most glorious sight to behold was the ork player who made a mega gorkanaught out of a 5 gallon bucket and he made his own rules for it they the group allowed.
@@PingachuWarham that was a war hound though, still pretty funny for a single person to say bet to a war machine many times their size. also isn't the tac arrow d6 damage?
@@LordCrate-du8zm huh, i remember bricky (adeptus ridiculus) complaining that the tac arrow back in the day was only d6 damage, must have been buffed since then.
It's always funny to look at artistic representations of titans in 40k where they're portrayed as the size of mountains vs their actual height which is often shorter than the statue of liberty. But hey, big mechs are always cool.
For what its worth, you should think of titans more like naval ships than proper land forces. A destroyer is a recon and interference ship, despite being the size of a small office highrise. Warhounds are mobile fortresses that can scout out ahead of an army the same way a destroyer or light cruiser might range ahead of a fleet. Titans make a lot more sense when you frame them that way.
Agreed. I always thought that the closest real world equivalents would be naval warships and bombers(dedicated bombers, not fighter-bombers that are normal sized aircraft). You could kind of think of a warhound as a destroyer class titan, a reaver as a cruiser class titan, and a warlord as a battleship class titan. And with that, I guess you could also consider knights in smaller ship categories like corvettes and frigates. In comparison, conventional sized vehicles would be more like patrol boats, gunboats(not gunships, those are more destroyer class) and landing craft.
14:40 Pancreas- the reason they have a limited range is that when players hear 'unlimited', they can and will have their equipment hit other tables... even if said tables are half the world away. Literally it doesn't matter if your game store is in the UK, Deathstrikes, which were unlimited, can and had rained upon American games. No, I'm not making this up. Now I'm wondering if there was just someone with a bajillion points of Deathstrike missile launchers who would take money to cheese your opponent by launching a bazillion vortex missiles from three thousand irl miles away.
Thats dumb. Why can other players interrupt your game? Its like youre having fun playing a game with your significant other and a dude from vietnam jumps into my lobby kills us and leaves
@@everythingsalright1121because having someone phone the store and say "i wanna fire my warlord titans volcano cannon at whatever the largest unit on table 3 is and then having that happen, is very funny.
It's so fun and fluffy. If I'm playing a game and someone says "we just got a call, the Imperial Navy is bombarding the table indiscriminately" I'd both laugh my ass off and dread whatever happens next.
@@LordCrate-du8zm maybe at some sort of store event where cross table artillery strikes were the whole gimmick... but at that point it's more like an Apocalypse game where instead of 2 players with 40+k point armies you have 16 players with 2-3k point armies tgat may or may not be cooperating... and at this point, you'd need like 7 judges with walkie-talkies just to keep the turns lined up, and would need to house rule a ton of shit to make it work... Edit: hell, let the Marine play land his droppods in the Guardsmen player's table as an act of "divine intervention", why not?
I was just thinking about the scene in Exodus where a Phantom titan goes full "nothing personnel, kid" against a warlord and pretty much one shots it. That was one of the best showcases of how fast they are, and how hard they are to hit because of the holo fields. Also, I'm surprised you talked about the harridan, but not the Ta'unar. That's the tau answer to stompy titans- a walking gun platform with weapons that will delete entire directions.
Titans occupy their niche as "fuck everything in that direction" combined with "leave everything in the opposite direction untouched", which isnt really possible with orbital bombardments. An orbital bombardment also doesn't give the opponent time to regret their decision, whereas a titan can stride over the horizon all gothic and chrome, and ENSURE the opposition has browned their pants before sending them to kingdom come
8:37 it is explained in the book Titanicus that most principae (?) are augmented as little as possible to make it easier to hold onto their own body and not get lost in the machine. Their natural human bodies are basically a massive spiritual eyesore in the perfection of a god engine.
Fun fact: there's only one human war vehicle that surpasses a Titan, and that's an Ordinatus. The railgun that saved Helsreach. Titans are built with pageantry and religious requirements, but Ordinati are stone cold practical designs. They're like tanks, but in the same way Custodes are like soldiers. The Mechanicus really hate deploying Ordinati because the things basically disprove their religion. No machine spirit. No need for ritualism, no connection to Martian culture. Just a Dark Age railgun on treads that kills anything. For example, potshotting the Mega Gargaunt that destroyed the Titan defending Helsreach.
The one at Helsreach was hijacked by a Black Templar. They usually have specialist Ad Mech crews that observe even more strict rituals than the Titans. Given how the warp works it's a miracle the gun fired without just incinerating itself without said rituals.
They're not all giant railguns. Every Ordinatus is a different machine built for a specific purpose. They can be anything from massive weapons to a device of some kind or in one case, a GIANT TRANSPORT with a HUGE DRILL.
9:00 thank for you dispelling this myth. It's kind of tiring to hear "The Imperium cannot build more Titans" because Titans were not based on STC (they did derive from the Castigator which was an STC tech) but most Titans in of themselves were not.
Sure, the ones in front of the thing are gone, so might that planet or city. What isn't shown is the 3-4 other Empire worlds that run out of firepower and reinforcements when they are attacked. That's the boring downside to superweapons, they reveal to your enemy what your intentions are. Which attacks are real and which positions are weaker. More likely than not, if the enemy focuses fire on you your hyperweapon will eventually go down. Question is, can you afford that loss. And in 40k the answer is noooooooo. The empire is declining, heavy battle bots reliant on shrinking advanced tech are the exact opposite of what they need. (I know it's borning and thus irrelevant)
@@mr.chemistry8128 This comment right here is a great example of why Superheavy tanks design just stopped post ww2. Plus Tau Mantas in lore are a serous threat to Titans to the point the Ad mech demanded airsupport before they can be deployed against the Tau
Fun fact! the Stompa is the cheapest one of these to buy, and is the only one available in glorious plastic. For this relatively low pricepoint, it pays in the worst instructions known to man.
@@paulhorrox6478 as someone who uses it, it crumples to any lascannon/melta (or faction equivalent) infantry squad and it only feels worth its point cost in offense if you pair it with a Mek.
@@paulhorrox6478to be fair, most of these titans are horribly ineffecient points wise. There are videos of 2k knight armies easily beating a warlord, by killing it while the warlord manages to down only one or two knights. Like if these titans were redone to be as good as their points then a warlord should be able to take on 2 full 2k armies and win by killing everything. So like 10+ small weapons (heavy bolters/lascannons etc.), 4 large weapons (volcano cannons etc.) and a giant fuck off missile launcher. As well as 3 special rules (1 of which is just the titanic rule). But alas theyre just an awesome centrepiece.
16:00 I seen a game where that Deadly Demise fired off. The scout titan was jumped by a pack of tau battlesuits. Rolled a 6 for deadly demise amd took all the battlesuits with him.
In the lore the necrons have a 'Megalith', a massive Monolith that carries other Monoliths. It got mentioned once I believe, in a random sourcebook. Edit: Nvm, I just looked it up and it was in a codex, not a random sourcebook (though it was an old Codex)
"Why yes that one particular guardsman.....fuck him" at 19:55 killed me. Great video, Pancreas! Makes me remember why I love this universe so much: 600 foot buildings shooting at each other.
I remember when deathstrike missiles would rain down on games when the phone rang at the local GW. Or when the guys with titans would show up and half the store would join up with there armies and a "floor-acoplse" game would start up.
@@SamueL-td7fb idk. They could totally give Tau more Auxiliary units, heck, even races from Fantasy like Skaven or Lizardmens. Letting Tau keep their "Practical Combat" of keeping their men's as far away as possible while letting them have their Melee charges and just, different ways to play and whatnot. Flesh out their lore as well, even. Maybe if they've done that from the start, people would've have fun fighting the Tau and it wouldn't be a meme.
So small but here or there. Titan princeps dont take on augmetics because it can threaten their connection with the Titan. Their meat bodies act as anchors for their conciousness that help keep it seperate from a titan during operation. The more metal that replaces flesh, the less of an anchor it is. Also, dying as a Titan princeps is arguably one of the better fates in 40k. As shown in Titan death, the princeps soul is actually shielded indefinitely by the Titans machine spirit from the warp. When they become part of the Titan Gestalt conciousness, their soul as well remains safe.
Be me, be 4-5 years old with my dad, go to see the new transformers movie. See optimus prime do a tacticsl roll say “youll never stop at one” rip someones face off and then linkin park starts playing. How could i not become obsessed with giant robots
If you're looking for a video topic, I would love to hear about all events leading up to the Mechanicus marching a titan into that one room on Terra that everybody talks about when describing mars' limited independence.
Someone told me the Tau Manta is made to order, they never have it stocked. My headcanon is there's a dungeon under GW headquarters with a Manta servitor that boots up like windows XP anytime someone places an order
Titans are cool but are they as cool Lord horrik canorom,son of high king valorik canorom, high prince of house canorom, master of the blade of Gaia keeper of the gates of lorlo, welider of the kalorik flame, bringer of hope, hereld of the holy order of the adamtine lance, the paladin of KOTO, slayer of the loin of essa, the triumpht, the light of stars, the ERADICATER!
I really wish they'd go back to the old sizes for Titans. Its really hard to be impressed by a Warlord when there are trees in the forest next to my house that are taller or how Warlords aren't even as tall as ships that fought in WW2 are wide. Hell there are airplanes flying around right now with wingspans larger then Warlord titans and somehow I'm supposed to be in awe at these marvels of engineering.
This is another reason why Transformers would fit surprisingly well into 40k. Not because they're Imperial knights who can jump, but because they have they also have Titans, and they're much MUCH bigger.
Warhammer: we have titans that can ravage country sized cities and are 70 meters tall. Five Star stories by Momoru Nagano: I have 45 meter tall skeletal mechs that carry twin 100meter long guns that can destroy planets.
Or Mazinger Zero's "you only have 0.000000001% chance of losing this fight? To me that number only means 100%" *proceeds to defeat said enemy while shooting photon beams that could pierce the earth back to back, among other things that are just as destructive if not more, depending on how strong said enemy was, then goes on to eat said universe wholesale*
@@SeanCrosseralso let's not forget the Jagd mirages engines throw so much interference it's 100 meter guns required smaller versions as ranging guns like the ontos. Yes.
Titans SHOULD be massive. FFS, a normal cathedral is over 100 meters (and some of the bigger ones are 150+). and a Emperor is supposed to have one on it's back. Not to mention they have corridors inside big enough for space marines to fight trough. So an Emperor should be around 200-300 meters at a minimum.
I like to think that the Imperator titans are around 1 kilometere tall. That is taller than the Burj Khalifa, but not by an unreasonable degree, and of course, the cathedral is a little less than half of it's height, so the Titan itself is probably not taller than 650 meters.
@@victorpedrosoceolin3919 the Titan is there to finish off whatever survived and whose lower clothes are filled with something else besides legs and tools
I know this video was about Titans but the bit about the Tau manta just made me laugh. It's so stupid yet awesome that it's basically channeling everything that people like about 40k and delivering it in a Tau shaped package, much to the dismay of the haters.
Does this mean that you willl remake the Stormcast Eternals video? Man, I´d love to see an updated video about them, seen how the narrative around them has evolved
I remember reading several White Dwarf editions that had Space Marine or Epic rules in them as a kid and Titan combat looked so fascinating, and the black and white photos scribbled by Brits was so different than all the Japanese robot battles of the late 80s. Sometimes I would read the rules over and over and the little lore bits and dream up of them battling in my own mind. Way way before Pacific Rim. And Titan combat is way more lumbering than you think. The Horus Heresy novel TitanDeath is an excellent example of Titan combat in detail.
The tyranid bio titans rules wise are terrifying because you get the detachment bonuses where as the imperial ones dont. That means in thr invasion fleet it can get sustained hits against infantry or lethal hits against vehicles. Or the crusher stampede that gives it +1 to hit after it has lost only a single wound.
Clanner logistics are basically nonexistent…possibly it’s their biggest weakness. They are great warriors, but once the Inner Sphere got its shit together, Operation Revival failed. Twycross let em know that the great houses weren’t fuckin around anymore. Tyra Miraborgs sacrifice gave just enough time for IS forces to focus and then Tukayyid sealed the deal.
At the end, you mentioned about being aware of your titan. I have turn 2'd my friend's freshly built and painted warhound, using kastelan robots almost exclusively. I HAD 5 baneblades on the table and chose to ignore it with them. He was not happy and hasnt played warhammer since (this was in 8th ed, just before lockdown)
Idea: A Titan for the emperial guard that isn't a mech, but a fortress sized tank with dizens of cannons sticking out of all sides and can serve as transport for other tanks!
Basically Ratte? You know, I'm actually surprised GW hasn't made something like that for the Guard or even Space Marines. They would show how actually effective that thing is until T'au with their bs luck show up and GW goes "hAhA, hUmEn StOoPiD"
What gets underestimated about the Titans, impractical though they may be in broad terms, is the utility of raw Intimidation. To understand this, we must put Titans in their proper context. Setting aside their roots as weapons used by the tech priests of Mars to fight the colossal robots of other Martian factions and rogue war machines during the Age of Strife, Titans were used by the Imperium to win the Great Crusade. And one of the greatest hindrances to conquering worlds was the willingness to resist in those local polities. In that sense, more than simply crushing the foe militarily or logistically, the goal of the Compliance Fleets was to break their _spirit._ To crush their will to fight, so they surrender. Taken in such a context, a Titan is a very _powerful_ weapon. It can be difficult for isolated pockets of humanity or xenos to grasp, on an individual level, the sheer scale of military disposition the Imperium could bring to bear. A soldier can only see so much from their position on the ground. NO ONE can look at a Titan cresting a ridge, blaring war horns and leveling whole cities with its weapons, and mistake it for anything but a world-destroying threat. More often than not, a foe's will to fight dies the moment they SEE a Titan deployed, or will do moments after seeing it discharge its weapons _once._ The impracticality of a Titan in terms of the resources needed to build and transport one is almost a moot point. Single Titans likely delivered entire worlds into the Imperium's hands without firing a single shot, or ONLY firing a single shot. From that perspective, the Titan made back the cost of building it several times over. Arguably, when morale is taken into account, Titans were worth more during the Great Crusade than their equivalent quantity of "normal" military assets ever could be.
Titans are the embodiment of the Tarkin doctrine, only that they're giant robots carrying churches instead of flying doritos, and therefore more awesome
Just like an AT-AT. While an AT-TE may be more effective as a dedicated tank, you see a group of AT-ATs you're not going to care about which Walker is more effective. And the imperium scales this up, so while the Imperium could make even more dedicated tanks that might be slightly more effective. You don't really need to when a titan sends your enemies running or straight up ending themselves so they don't have to face the titans.
So what you're saying is Titans are more about police work than actual military combat. I get it. It's like if say, there's a riot going on right now; Somewhere, anywhere, doesn't matter; And you need them disperse, how do you do it? You could send the Riot Police there, but that might agitate the crowd, and they'll need to target troublemakers before the stir the pot too much, but watch it, put too much pressures will make the mob aggressive and won't look good on the paper, and the- or just send in the giant robot. Either they know their place, or they fight back, and if they fight back, they aren't winning. Mob fights? Stomp them. They're climbing? Slap them away with these hands. Fire? Waterhoses. Bullets? Armor. Like, most civilian population will likely find it exceedingly difficult to take down or stop a giant robot, and that is if they even want to risk getting crushed by it in the first place. Like a car a mob can reasonably stop it's movement by just mobbing it before it get's any speed, then from there they can figure out how to rip it open. A two stories tall robot starring you down like an ant? I'm booking it. And part of why I think all this is because IRL, this is, like, the most reasonable utility that a "reasonably sized" "Giant" robot would perform the best in, Public Services, like Police and Fire Department. If we wanted Giant Robots right now, in our life, that's their roll. In the future? Swiss Army Forklift for exoplanetary colony, like on Mars, or beyond. If we want Mechs in Military, they cannot be Giant. If anything were to be giant in the military, it'll be a literal Landship, or some sort of mobile base, but no giant stompy bois. Not until we break the Square Cube Law.
I love titans and mechs so much. I just wish we had a 40k titan or knight game like MechWarrior 5. I like BattleTech, but that 40k motif just calls to me. It will never happen, but I strive everyday to make enough money to bring it into existence myself lol
If there's one faction in star wars I think that can survive in 40k It would be The Separatists And It wouldn't be hard to make their own Versions of titans
Plenty of star wars factions can survive in 40k. You just need to toss out the silly idea that "survival" means completely destroying the full might of every 40k faction at once. Not even 40k's factions have pulled that off, so it's not fair to make that the expectation.
@@viperblitz11 That's honestly the opinion I've come to have as well. Stop asking: "Who would win? 40k v --." Start asking: "Who could survive in 40k?" I mean, if we're being honest here, the Tau are Star Wars-sized and they only have a small sliver of the Galaxy, but they're beefy enough any of the big factions would have to put their back into it to kill them off and they're all too busy hammering each other to spare the effort for that. The Covenant (prime, pre-schism) could definitely survive. The Empire (or at least Paellon's Remnant) could probably hold onto a few systems. I mean, an Executor is *absolutely* giving a Battleship a serious fight. Pack that sucker with several thousand TIEs and it's whacking any enemy strike craft right down. They'd just need to purge the sycophants and failures and all that Sith crap and embrace professionalism.
Finally a proper PancreasNoWork titan video like before the only video you had on this topic was like 6 minutes long and I find that criminally unjustifiable of representing the GOD MACHINES
@@velphidrow did you read my comment? I clearly said inch Also literally look at the latest post on titanowners club. Where the field was what I’d say is around 4x10m ish.
Reconnaissance can also mean probing defensive lines to find weaknesses for the main assault This is why some reconnaissance units nowadays field main battle tanks and mine clearance vehicles I’d imagine the small titans would probably excel in that role probing for the main assault
I don’t think you understand how this works Pancreas. We *OWN* You. If you run out of ideas you keep producing mindless lore slop I’ve already heard or read a thousand times before and you out your own spin on it for my enjoyment. Only in death does duty end. Capeesh?
Princeps of the larger titan patters(Warlord upwards) are actually among the most augmented members of the Cult Mechanicus. According to "Titanicus" by Dan Abnett, senior Princeps of Legio Invicta are closing in 70% metalbits, and permanently placed in amniotic tanks. This interface procedure is called "proximus pattern" in the book, so other patterns exist, too. Certainly they do in 30k as most Princeps shown in the HH series are not bound to a amniotic tank. In Mechanicus the head of the Legio was not connected that way in the beginning, but later received the augmentation and noticed a noticable improvement regarding to connection with his Titan.

The Tau Mantas took out 2 unsupported warhound titans. Then the AdMech refused to deploy more titans unless they got proper air and ground support. When they did, well, the Exodite animation is a good reference.
They weren't even Mantas, they were just Tiger Sharks. The Tau responded to priceless God machines by putting mass produced cannons on mass produced fighter craft and just casually shooting them.
the Exodite is ass for that scene alone. That is not how Mantas are used. That is not how Titans are used. Its fanboyism and I refuse to view it in another fashion.

The Eldars Warlock Titan actually did reappear in the Lore in the Adeptus Titanicus game.
It was wrecking every Imperial Titan it came up against, but ended up being destroyed by Imperial Psi Titans.
It did release a Psychic Backlash, but instead of opening up a Warp Rift, it drove all the Eldar nearby into being Murderously Depressed, and the Eldar started to throw themselves agaisnt the Imperium rather than fighting like they usually do.
Wow, GW really does hate eldar.
Did you forget the Tau actually do have a walking Titan in the form of the Ta'unar Supremacy Armour?
Being honest it got almost no lore
@@marrvynswillames4975I mean, so does half the things on his list!
The Supremacy Armor has actual tabletop rules and everything!
Yeah, it's not as big, but it was designed specifically to hunt titans.
Probably looked at the Manta then was like, "In a video about titans, why consider the small fry when you have the whole potato?"
The Ta'unar Supremacy armor is cool though. Still enjoy the video a lot.
Also came here for this. The supremacy armor is basically the equivalent of a warhound. And could probably take one in a 1 on 1 fight. I'm suprised it didn't even get mentioned.
Pro tip: if you ever want to commit tax fraud, just purchase a bunch of Titan models.
Mate, you need to stop downplaying the "watchability" of these long format videos.
I can genuinely, honestly listen to you talking about 40K and BattleTech stuff for hours (and on some days in traffic, I have). Love the amount of detail you put into both the lore and tabletop stuff, helps people like me that have been in the hobby for years but never decided on an army.
At work, these videos are my go to for passing the time. I'm getting to the point that I can narrate these videos perfectly, lol
I played in an apocalypse game that is held every year at a convention in California. I think there were like 6 or 7 warlord titans, and probably a dozen war hound, but the most glorious sight to behold was the ork player who made a mega gorkanaught out of a 5 gallon bucket and he made his own rules for it they the group allowed.

@@cr90captain89 Back in the day, in modern 10th it's a fantastic anti-tank weapon.
It's always funny to look at artistic representations of titans in 40k where they're portrayed as the size of mountains vs their actual height which is often shorter than the statue of liberty. But hey, big mechs are always cool.
For what its worth, you should think of titans more like naval ships than proper land forces. A destroyer is a recon and interference ship, despite being the size of a small office highrise. Warhounds are mobile fortresses that can scout out ahead of an army the same way a destroyer or light cruiser might range ahead of a fleet. Titans make a lot more sense when you frame them that way.
Titans are land ships... huh... never thought of it that way.
Agreed. I always thought that the closest real world equivalents would be naval warships and bombers(dedicated bombers, not fighter-bombers that are normal sized aircraft).
You could kind of think of a warhound as a destroyer class titan, a reaver as a cruiser class titan, and a warlord as a battleship class titan.
And with that, I guess you could also consider knights in smaller ship categories like corvettes and frigates.
In comparison, conventional sized vehicles would be more like patrol boats, gunboats(not gunships, those are more destroyer class) and landing craft.
Imagine a clever joke

I like this comment too much I’m afraid
14:40 Pancreas- the reason they have a limited range is that when players hear 'unlimited', they can and will have their equipment hit other tables... even if said tables are half the world away. Literally it doesn't matter if your game store is in the UK, Deathstrikes, which were unlimited, can and had rained upon American games. No, I'm not making this up. Now I'm wondering if there was just someone with a bajillion points of Deathstrike missile launchers who would take money to cheese your opponent by launching a bazillion vortex missiles from three thousand irl miles away.
Thats dumb. Why can other players interrupt your game? Its like youre having fun playing a game with your significant other and a dude from vietnam jumps into my lobby kills us and leaves
@@everythingsalright1121because having someone phone the store and say "i wanna fire my warlord titans volcano cannon at whatever the largest unit on table 3 is and then having that happen, is very funny.
It's so fun and fluffy. If I'm playing a game and someone says "we just got a call, the Imperial Navy is bombarding the table indiscriminately" I'd both laugh my ass off and dread whatever happens next.
@@LordCrate-du8zm maybe at some sort of store event where cross table artillery strikes were the whole gimmick... but at that point it's more like an Apocalypse game where instead of 2 players with 40+k point armies you have 16 players with 2-3k point armies tgat may or may not be cooperating... and at this point, you'd need like 7 judges with walkie-talkies just to keep the turns lined up, and would need to house rule a ton of shit to make it work...
Edit: hell, let the Marine play land his droppods in the Guardsmen player's table as an act of "divine intervention", why not?
@@hardcorelace7565I read this in Pancreas Man’s voice, because this is exactly something he’d say.
I’ve always liked stories where the Princeps and the machine spirit have almost a sort of mutual respect.
I was just thinking about the scene in Exodus where a Phantom titan goes full "nothing personnel, kid" against a warlord and pretty much one shots it. That was one of the best showcases of how fast they are, and how hard they are to hit because of the holo fields.
Also, I'm surprised you talked about the harridan, but not the Ta'unar. That's the tau answer to stompy titans- a walking gun platform with weapons that will delete entire directions.

Sometimes all ya need in life is a giant ass mech. Infact that solves pretty much all your problems. Orcs, daemons, taxes.
No, in the imperium giant ass mechs ARE THE ONES COLLECTING TAXES.
Titans occupy their niche as "fuck everything in that direction" combined with "leave everything in the opposite direction untouched", which isnt really possible with orbital bombardments.
An orbital bombardment also doesn't give the opponent time to regret their decision, whereas a titan can stride over the horizon all gothic and chrome, and ENSURE the opposition has browned their pants before sending them to kingdom come
8:37 it is explained in the book Titanicus that most principae (?) are augmented as little as possible to make it easier to hold onto their own body and not get lost in the machine. Their natural human bodies are basically a massive spiritual eyesore in the perfection of a god engine.
You should make videos discussing the Endless Space/Legend universe's lore.
This is a threat.
Fool, pancreas is actively guarded by an entire eldar craftworld.
Fun fact: there's only one human war vehicle that surpasses a Titan, and that's an Ordinatus. The railgun that saved Helsreach.
Titans are built with pageantry and religious requirements, but Ordinati are stone cold practical designs. They're like tanks, but in the same way Custodes are like soldiers. The Mechanicus really hate deploying Ordinati because the things basically disprove their religion. No machine spirit. No need for ritualism, no connection to Martian culture. Just a Dark Age railgun on treads that kills anything. For example, potshotting the Mega Gargaunt that destroyed the Titan defending Helsreach.
The one at Helsreach was hijacked by a Black Templar. They usually have specialist Ad Mech crews that observe even more strict rituals than the Titans. Given how the warp works it's a miracle the gun fired without just incinerating itself without said rituals.
The ordinatus armageddon used a nova cannon
They're not all giant railguns. Every Ordinatus is a different machine built for a specific purpose. They can be anything from massive weapons to a device of some kind or in one case, a GIANT TRANSPORT with a HUGE DRILL.
Literally everything you said is wrong lmfao
Ordinatus arent just railguns
9:00 thank for you dispelling this myth. It's kind of tiring to hear "The Imperium cannot build more Titans" because Titans were not based on STC (they did derive from the Castigator which was an STC tech) but most Titans in of themselves were not.
Tau: They are dumb. What a poor resource distribution!
Imperium: haha big robot man go brr
Tau: Ah shiiii-
Sure, the ones in front of the thing are gone, so might that planet or city. What isn't shown is the 3-4 other Empire worlds that run out of firepower and reinforcements when they are attacked. That's the boring downside to superweapons, they reveal to your enemy what your intentions are. Which attacks are real and which positions are weaker. More likely than not, if the enemy focuses fire on you your hyperweapon will eventually go down. Question is, can you afford that loss. And in 40k the answer is noooooooo. The empire is declining, heavy battle bots reliant on shrinking advanced tech are the exact opposite of what they need. (I know it's borning and thus irrelevant)
@@mr.chemistry8128 This comment right here is a great example of why Superheavy tanks design just stopped post ww2. Plus Tau Mantas in lore are a serous threat to Titans to the point the Ad mech demanded airsupport before they can be deployed against the Tau

@@paulhorrox6478to be fair, most of these titans are horribly ineffecient points wise.
There are videos of 2k knight armies easily beating a warlord, by killing it while the warlord manages to down only one or two knights.
Like if these titans were redone to be as good as their points then a warlord should be able to take on 2 full 2k armies and win by killing everything. So like 10+ small weapons (heavy bolters/lascannons etc.), 4 large weapons (volcano cannons etc.) and a giant fuck off missile launcher. As well as 3 special rules (1 of which is just the titanic rule).
But alas theyre just an awesome centrepiece.
It's also fantastic in the Dread Mob detachment, so if you want a Stompa you can absolutely make it work.

Titan princeps dont take on augmetics because it can threaten their connection with the Titan. Their meat bodies act as anchors for their conciousness that help keep it seperate from a titan during operation. The more metal that replaces flesh, the less of an anchor it is.
Also, dying as a Titan princeps is arguably one of the better fates in 40k. As shown in Titan death, the princeps soul is actually shielded indefinitely by the Titans machine spirit from the warp. When they become part of the Titan Gestalt conciousness, their soul as well remains safe.

Titans SHOULD be massive. FFS, a normal cathedral is over 100 meters (and some of the bigger ones are 150+). and a Emperor is supposed to have one on it's back. Not to mention they have corridors inside big enough for space marines to fight trough. So an Emperor should be around 200-300 meters at a minimum.
I like to think that the Imperator titans are around 1 kilometere tall. That is taller than the Burj Khalifa, but not by an unreasonable degree, and of course, the cathedral is a little less than half of it's height, so the Titan itself is probably not taller than 650 meters.

I remember reading several White Dwarf editions that had Space Marine or Epic rules in them as a kid and Titan combat looked so fascinating, and the black and white photos scribbled by Brits was so different than all the Japanese robot battles of the late 80s. Sometimes I would read the rules over and over and the little lore bits and dream up of them battling in my own mind. Way way before Pacific Rim. And Titan combat is way more lumbering than you think. The Horus Heresy novel TitanDeath is an excellent example of Titan combat in detail.
The urge to throw a psycho Gundam mk2 into a tabletop game rising
The tyranid bio titans rules wise are terrifying because you get the detachment bonuses where as the imperial ones dont.

You know, I'm actually surprised GW hasn't made something like that for the Guard or even Space Marines.
They would show how actually effective that thing is until T'au with their bs luck show up and GW goes "hAhA, hUmEn StOoPiD"
What gets underestimated about the Titans, impractical though they may be in broad terms, is the utility of raw Intimidation. To understand this, we must put Titans in their proper context. Setting aside their roots as weapons used by the tech priests of Mars to fight the colossal robots of other Martian factions and rogue war machines during the Age of Strife, Titans were used by the Imperium to win the Great Crusade. And one of the greatest hindrances to conquering worlds was the willingness to resist in those local polities.
In that sense, more than simply crushing the foe militarily or logistically, the goal of the Compliance Fleets was to break their _spirit._ To crush their will to fight, so they surrender. Taken in such a context, a Titan is a very _powerful_ weapon. It can be difficult for isolated pockets of humanity or xenos to grasp, on an individual level, the sheer scale of military disposition the Imperium could bring to bear. A soldier can only see so much from their position on the ground. NO ONE can look at a Titan cresting a ridge, blaring war horns and leveling whole cities with its weapons, and mistake it for anything but a world-destroying threat. More often than not, a foe's will to fight dies the moment they SEE a Titan deployed, or will do moments after seeing it discharge its weapons _once._
The impracticality of a Titan in terms of the resources needed to build and transport one is almost a moot point. Single Titans likely delivered entire worlds into the Imperium's hands without firing a single shot, or ONLY firing a single shot. From that perspective, the Titan made back the cost of building it several times over. Arguably, when morale is taken into account, Titans were worth more during the Great Crusade than their equivalent quantity of "normal" military assets ever could be.
Titans are the embodiment of the Tarkin doctrine, only that they're giant robots carrying churches instead of flying doritos, and therefore more awesome
When you walk your own fortress right up to an enemy fortress that cant walk even a little bit, its gotta be demoralizing
Just like an AT-AT. While an AT-TE may be more effective as a dedicated tank, you see a group of AT-ATs you're not going to care about which Walker is more effective. And the imperium scales this up, so while the Imperium could make even more dedicated tanks that might be slightly more effective. You don't really need to when a titan sends your enemies running or straight up ending themselves so they don't have to face the titans.
So what you're saying is Titans are more about police work than actual military combat. I get it. It's like if say, there's a riot going on right now; Somewhere, anywhere, doesn't matter; And you need them disperse, how do you do it? You could send the Riot Police there, but that might agitate the crowd, and they'll need to target troublemakers before the stir the pot too much, but watch it, put too much pressures will make the mob aggressive and won't look good on the paper, and the- or just send in the giant robot. Either they know their place, or they fight back, and if they fight back, they aren't winning.
Mob fights? Stomp them. They're climbing? Slap them away with these hands. Fire? Waterhoses. Bullets? Armor. Like, most civilian population will likely find it exceedingly difficult to take down or stop a giant robot, and that is if they even want to risk getting crushed by it in the first place. Like a car a mob can reasonably stop it's movement by just mobbing it before it get's any speed, then from there they can figure out how to rip it open. A two stories tall robot starring you down like an ant? I'm booking it.
And part of why I think all this is because IRL, this is, like, the most reasonable utility that a "reasonably sized" "Giant" robot would perform the best in, Public Services, like Police and Fire Department. If we wanted Giant Robots right now, in our life, that's their roll. In the future? Swiss Army Forklift for exoplanetary colony, like on Mars, or beyond. If we want Mechs in Military, they cannot be Giant. If anything were to be giant in the military, it'll be a literal Landship, or some sort of mobile base, but no giant stompy bois. Not until we break the Square Cube Law.
I love titans and mechs so much. I just wish we had a 40k titan or knight game like MechWarrior 5. I like BattleTech, but that 40k motif just calls to me. It will never happen, but I strive everyday to make enough money to bring it into existence myself lol
If there's one faction in star wars I think that can survive in 40k It would be The Separatists
And It wouldn't be hard to make their own Versions of titans
😂
Nah but the corpos in separatist will be whining about the cost of building them.
Plenty of star wars factions can survive in 40k. You just need to toss out the silly idea that "survival" means completely destroying the full might of every 40k faction at once. Not even 40k's factions have pulled that off, so it's not fair to make that the expectation.
@@viperblitz11What I'm Imagining is the funny fighter blowing up imperial sectors via supernovas detonation .
@@viperblitz11 That's honestly the opinion I've come to have as well. Stop asking: "Who would win? 40k v --." Start asking: "Who could survive in 40k?" I mean, if we're being honest here, the Tau are Star Wars-sized and they only have a small sliver of the Galaxy, but they're beefy enough any of the big factions would have to put their back into it to kill them off and they're all too busy hammering each other to spare the effort for that.
The Covenant (prime, pre-schism) could definitely survive.
The Empire (or at least Paellon's Remnant) could probably hold onto a few systems. I mean, an Executor is *absolutely* giving a Battleship a serious fight. Pack that sucker with several thousand TIEs and it's whacking any enemy strike craft right down. They'd just need to purge the sycophants and failures and all that Sith crap and embrace professionalism.
Finally a proper PancreasNoWork titan video like before the only video you had on this topic was like 6 minutes long and I find that criminally unjustifiable of representing the GOD MACHINES
14:10 yeah as you point out, 480inch ranges exist because Gw knows titans are played in Titan walks which take up pest part of a tennis court at once.
It's 480 inches not feet and no, titanwalks aren't that big
@@velphidrow read what I wrote, and when you are done go look up the annual walk of TitanOwners Club
@@velphidrow did you read my comment? I clearly said inch
Also literally look at the latest post on titanowners club. Where the field was what I’d say is around 4x10m ish.
Reconnaissance can also mean probing defensive lines to find weaknesses for the main assault
This is why some reconnaissance units nowadays field main battle tanks and mine clearance vehicles
I’d imagine the small titans would probably excel in that role probing for the main assault
I don’t think you understand how this works Pancreas. We *OWN* You. If you run out of ideas you keep producing mindless lore slop I’ve already heard or read a thousand times before and you out your own spin on it for my enjoyment.
Only in death does duty end.
Capeesh?
“A dozen or so can harass a warhound” except the time in vengeful spirit when a single knight blew up an imperator
Yeah it's a lot less then a dozen lol. Usually around 4-5 can take on a warhound with no issues
Titans? Yes
Princeps of the larger titan patters(Warlord upwards) are actually among the most augmented members of the Cult Mechanicus. According to "Titanicus" by Dan Abnett, senior Princeps of Legio Invicta are closing in 70% metalbits, and permanently placed in amniotic tanks. This interface procedure is called "proximus pattern" in the book, so other patterns exist, too.
Certainly they do in 30k as most Princeps shown in the HH series are not bound to a amniotic tank.
In Mechanicus the head of the Legio was not connected that way in the beginning, but later received the augmentation and noticed a noticable improvement regarding to connection with his Titan.
"Wrath of the Omnissiah" is absolutely cool as hell, but it's no "Castigate the Enemies of the Godhead" from Lancer's Manticore haha
