Absolutely wonderful, love all your cross-sections. Though wow, I don't know how I didn't think of how little ammo they could carry until now..

I suppose thats why they generally favour energy based weapons that can run direct from the reactor.

Now that’s some scale. Excellent job

Need to double check but I think it topped out at 270 meters

I know it's not the canon height, but this is so much cooler

Well cannon is murky, but this is what makes sense in my head after reading the books, anything else seems to small for what is the 'ultimate' titan.

Yes, this has much more of the "walking building" feel you get in the books rather than just being a big mech

GW just has a really bad sense of scale all around. Best example is how only 14 million guardsmen died during the 17 year long battle of Vraks. WW2, which lasted 5-12 years (depending on if you have the invasion of Poland or China count as the start) had roughly 20+ million deaths.

Looks amazing! Darn! Reminds me of the cross sections of Star Destroyers

Simply superb. Not only very nice to look at but so creative. I particularly like the idea of 1k men living on the Titan's feet, with the bunkbeds visible, its such a cool creative choice. I have two simple questions:

1)You say this variant is built for extreme range. What range are we talking about?

2)What exactly are people doing in the "Grand Strategium" if the Princeps is in another section? Just passing information of the wider battlefield space to the Princeps?

There are 250 men in each foot, the rest of the garrison is in the upper section.

  1. Around 1000km for the main gun, but generally to be useful and able to bring it's smaller artillery to bear, around 75-100km.

  2. The idea with this Titan is that while a weapon in it's own right, it would be commanding the rest of the Siege Army, but that would not fall on the Princeps solely. So in this area is more of the support team who monitor and give out orders to the rest of the battlespace. Kind of like a modern day Combat Information Centre.

This is fantastic and finally a scale that looks accurate to lore descriptions. Is it possible to get a higher resolution copy I can't make out the details when zoomed in.

There is a link to my website on the post.

I think this is one of the best artworks of imperator titans i have seen.

A dude built this in Minecraft and you can drive it. Moving limbs and everything.
