In defence of “scout titans”: when you can peak over the horizon and have the best scanners, radars, telescopes, etc. around it really doesn’t matter that you’re big as a building. Especially when you’re relatively fast.
Relatively?? They are stupidly fast for their size. On tabletop they have a base movement of 14”, and auto advanced 8”, for a max speed of 22”, which is faster than aircraft in hover mode. Your big bot is faster than tanks and armigers.
@@averageeughenjoyer6429True and they can probably see further but if you can see the enemy they can see you. Sending in the cheaper and faster ones is probably a fair trade for view distance.
@@averageeughenjoyer6429 True but you might still give a way the location of an unsupported Emperor class titan and it takes a while for it to get anywhere. A Shadowsword is definitely faster than an Emperor class and you send in ten of those and they can bring it down. (Of course with the imperium both the specs and Shadowswords are a question of availability.) Plus an emperor class is so big taking it out with an astartes kill team might be the most cost effective and they might catch up to it on foot.
Ever since humanity came up with the idea of a mechanical man, they thought what if it was giant. It is one of the most ancient thoughts of our species.
The funny thing about watching yours and PancreasNoWork's content is that I'm really into warhammer lore but I know almost jackshit about tabletop rules so whenever he starts talking about tabletop stats I'm just sitting there and going "ahh yes, those are words. That is a number. I don't know what these terms mean so I'll just take your word on it when you say they're good, bad, or average"
Some would call an aircraft carrier a waste of resources. When you can strap a unmaned drone to a fishing boat and give the control to a 12 year old. A floating island with a giant target on it can be seen as the first thing a ballistic missile will go after.
@@lemonaded2481 it is still a massive target as are the ships around it. it is going to be a question of weapons out performing armour. Also, you might want to look up the Rods of God.
@@themalcontent100 Rods of God do not exist yet. You are using a concept weapon that doesn't exist in an argument about a weapon that is currently in use and is highly effective. Aircraft carriers aren't going anywhere for a while.
@@lemonaded2481 any AA defense system can & will be oversaturated if targeted, missiles have gotten to the point where they can sink vessels like carriers. its not just the one anti ship missile, its the potentially hundreds coming in. (china's missile force for ex.)
Modern day equivalents to a Titan is probably a US supercarrier. A single one and its battlegroup is enough to rival and suppress the military might of most single nations on the planet. Having one sailing just off your coast is a threat of complete defeat.
Tbf, I've heard that things like tanks don't necessarily have the morale-boosting effect on your allies that you might want them to, because it can make troops think they're not as necessary, and that they should be more careful while allowing the tank to do more of the job and get more of the enemy attention. So I could see titans having a similar performance-dampening effect in 40k. Granted, people in 40k are probably braver, and more emotionally invested in their nation than most real life soldiers are, so maybe they would see titans as inspirational rather than as an excuse to lay low.
And if you want a titian it would be cheaper to get a 3d printer. Which GW doesn't understand. Or maybe they do and the people who buy a plastic puzzle are dumb.
Eh.. for taking on Titans with Knights, there is the Knight Porphyrion. They often run in pairs when used in lore, and are meant for hunting down Titan class enemies. They carry some of the largest and most dangerous Las weapons the Imperium has.
3,200 dollars for a fully assembled Reaver Titan. Most likely including taxes. Probably the full cost of an entire Imperial Guard (or Orks) army, assuming that the math is done right.
I was distracted for half this video because unPancreas decided to play Halo Wars music in the background. And even then these tabletop rulebooks have the same font as Halo Wars and old Halo textbooks. Fantastic
$1600 dollars for one model. That's what I make in a MONTH at work. Jesus-jumped up-Christ on a stick, no wonder there's such a big market in bootleg models.
If there was an STC for Titans (especially Emperor Class) the mechanicus would stop at ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to obtain it.

To hate the idea of Titans would be to deny your humanity!
Hating on giant robots is punishable by banishment to the afterlife.

@@samiamtheman7379would that mean talos and the colossus are both technically the first mecha?
@@Beepers559 Possibly.
@@samiamtheman7379 in that case talos is the most flawed mecha in history, he literally was defeated because of a pin in his foot being pulled out

The dominatrix was the other bio-titan unit the tyranids used to have, but they only were playable in Epic.
And yet were mentioned in codex all the way up to 5th edition.
@@thejestor9378 I think remember reading the dominatrix was able to carry a norn queen to the battlefield to boost its synaptic influence.

and those same people would be idiots given how hard it is to sink and aircraft carrier.
Said floating island also has an entire escort fleet with enough AA to blot out the sun, and can take an ungodly amount of damage before sinking.

The motivation comes from looking forward at the enemy emplacement that has been holding you and your boys for weeks, and only see magma
@@mobiuscoreindustries Wouldn't that make you feel useless in comparison?

Good night , could you see what Lord of the Rings would be like in the warhammer 40k universe, it's very interesting and I think you'll like it a lot
I love warhammer tabletop but I swear to god I could have bought another Harley bike from what I spent over the years.
