40k Stories: The Collegia Titanica and the Questor Imperialis

[@themechaknight6360]

Great video on a very rarely elaborated on subject that isn't a re-reading of the wiki article. Kinda surprised you didn't go into some of the famous named titans in 30k and 40k (The Dies Irae and its drop pod come to mind. Nothing more epic than an Imperator Titan drop pod)

[@TacticaImperialis]

I probably should have done in hindsight, but there comes a point where I need to say "that's enough". If I had the time I could write huge scripts for these things, but I have to consider both my schedule and the actual video length, as a script nearly 45 minutes long might put some people off. Still, glad you enjoyed the video!

[@pyrosauria7444]

I do hope we get to see more of the psycher Titans as they actually sound cool.

[@zlboyle90]

What about stories from or about the administratum? They never see enough love, sure they may be paper pushers and bureacrats. No one loves that but they are necessary to the continued function to any organization.

[@TacticaImperialis]

I get what you mean, and the administratum are definitely worthy of a measure of respect, but their lore isn't quite as... interesting or in-depth as these sorts of factions. I won't rule it out, but they aren't top of my to-do list.

Well done Tactica 👏👏👏 that was an incredible video! Absolutely 10 out of 10

[@TacticaImperialis]

Glad yo enjoyed it!

[@thePaintbrushKid]

Micheal, I absolutely love all your videos!!!! Keep up the fantastic,amazing, wonderful work!!!!!! I always listen to your videos while I paint my army.

[@petemillsopp]

Finally some info on the titan legions and the knights that isn't a top fucking 40

[@Aravaganthus]

Does anyone else think that the relative abundance of Reaver and Warlord Titans makes the Baneblades not live up to the hype they have in-universe? If you can build a walking war machine of a certain size, surely one the same size that's supported by threads should be easier to build?

[@anotherzingbo]

I started listening to this just after reading the Doom of Molech Adeptus Titanicus suplplement, so I can let you know that traitor Knights took part in the Molech campaign. While no traitor Houses came to Molech, the native House Devine turned traitor during the battle for Lupercalia, and was instrumental in the fall of that city.

[@InquisitorThomas]

Insidious, devout, and Xenos? Micheal gonna talk about the Tau again?

[@InquisitorThomas]

Micheal noticed me... NOT THAT I CARE OR ANYTHING DU- DUMMY!!!!

[@parkermaisterra8532]

Wait...insidious devoted Xeno's. Is he talking about the dark eldar??

[@chriss6398]

Sweet new 40k stories how about some primarch stories or some more chaos champions? Either way thanks once again for the great content

[@TacticaImperialis]

Could you be more specific re Chaos Champions - I've already covered the 5 major ones and Bile and Blackheart, so I've done all the main ones I think

[@chriss6398]

Tactica Imperialis Your knowledge far exceeds mine on the subject. I was hoping there were more then what you did. Thanks for the response and always looking forward to your next video.

[@nikkepikkelito115]

So the mecanicus saves the best tech/weapons for themselfs. Does that mean the skitarii are more lethal than the marines? Shit,i will obsess over this forever..

[@IDICBeer]

Nice one

[@InquisitorThomas]

*Points and laughs at the Tau* Ha! Ha! Our Giant Robots are cooler!

[@pyrosauria7444]

Agree

[@bradwatson1142]

laughs in the ability to have a psyker titan

[@patrickmcginty3234]

Size is the only thing you have going for you. It makes me think you imperial fanatics are compensating for something. Besides, all I see are giant trashcans with legs.

[@deniskomarov342]

How fast you can build new machine?

[@patrickmcginty3234]

Faster than you can build yours. We can also come up with improvements to our battle suits to make them even more effective in battle. Last I heard, you lost the knowledge needed to make new Titans and that it takes you at least a century to make even one titan on specialized forge worlds.

[@Nyctophora]

No mention of the Dies Irae? :O

[@bladestormviking]

he said "no traitors"....

[@megaduck7965]

bladestormviking he said no “traitors “ were allowed one ;)

[@korstmahler]

You're pronouncing a hard G on the 'Legio' - classical latin. Yet Collegia is getting the ecclesiastical soft g/J sound here. I'm not fussed, both are absolutely legitimate, I thought I'd point it out though since you seem to be moving to classical latin. (I must say I prefer the sound of classical for 40k's archaic tone.)

[@TacticaImperialis]

Korstmahler Fair point - I suppose the classical sound on Collegia just didn't sound right to me (unlike on things like Legiones). I know you don't mind, and to be fair I don't either, but I'll try and be consistent going forward

[@Lucivius27]

Gundams VS TITANS?

[@dropdead234]

Agility and speed vs. heavy armor and huge guns. Not a bad idea....The gundam could try to get in close before the titan blows it away.

[@Lucivius27]

There is a Gundam which can short circuit all electronics and mechanics from Earth to Jupiter.

[@MalcadorTheSigilite]

Questor Mechanicus?

[@themechaknight6360]

The Questor Mechanicus are the Imperial Knight Houses who have sworn allegiances to the Mechanicus instead of the Imperium of Man (these are the knight houses who display Mechanicus heraldry instead of the imperium aquila) with a very good example being House Taranis

[@MalcadorTheSigilite]

TheMechaKnight I Know I meant should have a little fluff on them even if tokenistic

[@TacticaImperialis]

I did refer to them, even though technically not by name, as I mentioned the Mechanicus-aligned houses. I apologise it didn't come across clearly.

[@themechaknight6360]

To be fair Michael, the Knight houses were only recently referred to as the Questor Imperialis with 8th Edition and Questor Mechanicus was introduced as a term with the new Admech codex (I think) so im sure not too many people are familiar with it to start so everyone is still going to refer to them as Imperial Knights (or Admech Knights if people are going to be uppity about Knight strategems in the admech codex)
