PLAY AID: Additional Weapons for Emperor Battle Titans

Today I am putting up my first supplemental rules for an existing GW Datasheet, the Emperor Battle Titan.

It is a list of additional weapons it can use. You find it at the very bottom of this blog.

Hope you enjoy this, and good gaming to all.

The measurements are in, and the findings are shocking...A Clarifaction

I feel it necessary to clarify what I meant by the phrase "in real life" in the previous posts. I am simply referring this to mean a real life 40k "28mm scale model" and not the actual fictional depictions of the titans themselves.

Sorry about any misconceptions or misunderstanding this may have caused.

The measurements are in, and the findings are shocking...Part 2: The width and depth of it

Hello again,

Here are some more measurements one the Emperor Battle Titan, this time the width and depth of it. Again we will use the ratio of 10.5:1. In measuring the titan this time was a bit tricky when finding both its width and depth, and I will not bother telling how I found these measurements as it would only serve to confuse you. Instead, I simply tell you what they are according to the datasheet as per the printed copy I have. First the width is 1.5 inches on the sheet. The depth is 1 inch barring the length of the arm weapons. This gives us a width in real life of 15.75 inches (1 foot and 3 3/4 inchs) and a depth of exactly 10.5 inches, minus the length of the arm weapons.

As to the width and depth of the Warlord titan, it is 11 inches in width and 10.5 inches in approximate depth.

Happy Gaming,

Mark

The measurements are in and the findings are shocking...

Given the size comparison in the 40k Apocalypse book of the Warlord titan, I was able to find the exact size to scale size of not only the Warlord titan, but also the exact height of the Emperor Battle titan as well.

You see, I first made measurements of the side by side comparison of a printed copy of the Emperor Battle titan. It so happened that my printer, by some weird quirk, did not print the datasheet as a full page print. As it were, the Warhound titan used as a size comparison example was exactly, for bottom of foot to the very top of the carapace, 1 inch in height. Now the Forgeworld website listed the miniature at being 10.5 inches in height. Using a simple ratio of 10.5:1, I then measured out the height, in inches, again from bottom of the Emperor titan's foot to the height of the vengeance cannon, to be 3 and 3/4 inches in height, or roughly 39.375 inches (just over of 3 feet, 3 inches) in real life.

Now for the really "hard" math. The picture of the Warlord titan and the Warhound used as a size comparison was, from bottom of foot to top of carapace, was 1.5 inches in height and that the Warlord titan was 3.6 inches. No big deal, as I had already calculated the 10.5:1 scale, so who cares about the .5 inches. Given the already established 10.5:1 ratio, the Warlord would measure 2.6 if put side by side on the Emperor Battle Titan datasheet, or 26.5 inches (2'2 1/2")in real life.

And on that bombshell, I bid you all ado.

D-4: The Forbidden Format

This is a film I did in college on a 32 dollar budget. It is rather amateurish, and rather short (59 seconds in length). Anyways, here it is for your viewing pleasure.

WIP Codex: Adeptus Custodes

Today I will till you that work on my Adeptus Custodes mini-dex for WH30k is nearing completion, and should be posted ASAP. This work is based largely on my readings of the Horus Heresy art books. Any comments or suggestions on any additions to the project are greatly appreciated.
