I know that this is a bit off topic, however, I used to use drugs, finally got off them however I needed something to fill the void and accidentally discovered warhammer, was walking by a store in my town, and saw some cool stuff went in and started checking it out, it's a store devoted to mainly warhammer they have painting areas and huge battlescape tables in the back all the books and miniatures for purchase and a whole community of people that do it in their spare time. I had to ditch all of my "friends " who use so pretty much all of them. Now I found new ones of a like mind. And when I'm not working, doing mundane tasks ect I paint or play. Who knows, warhammer may have saved my life. It is expensive, I'll give it that. I've heard it's even bigger over in Europe.

[@combomaster666]

I like how how the fact that some titans have swords is just a titanic version of "Get closer I want to hit them with my sword"

[@michaelhowell2326]

I don't know why I haven't thought about before, but have any Titans been used for anti-space craft artillery?

[@PigreKo]

michael howell I believe it would be a waste of effort. Ships have powerful void shields, and those are incredibly effective against titan’s weaponry. Ballistic weapons for ground to space would require immense railguns to be somewhat effective, and even those would hardly be reliable at hundreds of KMs from their targets; missiles could work, but each one would be massive in size as it needs to propel itself out of the atmosphere, which means easier to detect and intercept; lance/laser weaponry does not posses the range to engage at those distances. Nevertheless Titans would work magic as deployment denial, with enough firepower to one shot any drop ship.

[@L0stEngineer]

In the book Titan Death, a maniple of Titans gets in a dust up with a Traitor frigate. It didn't go well for the frigate.

[@danielhogan6255]

What bout space faring ship's using rail guns? once you fire a round in space, it travel's and travel's until impact...newton's first law So to effectively take out space faring ships with rail gun tech it needs to be fired with 100% precision, cuz if you miss, the shot will continue to travel until it connects with something, could be a asteroid, could be a planet, could just travel in a straight line for 10,000 years and randomly hit something in its trajectory at the same time as the shot travel's through the area. im sure 40k got its own equivelent to that type of firepower, but realistically, railgun tech, precision shots, extreme long range.. Perhaps disable void shields to ensure a one shot kill? Dont fully understand how they operate or if they transcend physics( which im not gonna bitch about, warhammer gives enough "lore logic" to effectively suspend disbelief so its not like everything in 40k is gonna align with our current understanding of science...its the far future after all😁)

LUETIN, a slightly random but possibly enlightening video idea popped into my head while watching... Perhaps a short video on some of the artwork you feature.

I wonder how much artwork is based on very specific and pivotal moments that, by themselves, are the perfect insight into the background of certain hero characters.

Gulliman is great. By far the best Primarch. (I also love the Alphas and Alpharius with Omega as a two sided Legion). He is the best most loyal Primarch. The right one to take over and preserve the work of the corpse Emperor! In many way while less powerful than the Emperor he is a better man with better less arrogance and more thoughtful. The Human Races greatest three being the Dead Emperor, Malcador and Gulliman being irreplaceable!

[@DocWolph]

The closest non-WH40K equivalent I can fathom would be Star Trek star Ships having full scale ship to ship combat less than 10,000ft from the ground. A single starship can scour the life from a planet in a single orbit. Phasers that can carve mountain ranges into rift valleys and photon (anti-matter) torpedoes that can range from a small nuke to something that can shatter a small moon. And are quite smart and capable of overcoming or bypassing almost any defense they encounter. But are quite vulnerable if their shields fail, something that should be taken with a lot of salt as writers tend to downplay their own lore stats for the sake of exciting stories. But then if you can so easily wreck a planet focusing that kind of firepower on a single target is going to kill you regardless. ONe can argue the same things for Titans. This is not Star Trek versus WH40K, but just how close can one get to the other in aspect. Also Genesis device. Rewrite a planet not just blow it up. Imagine waiting for a full scale Tyranid invasion and then just "Genesis device" killing the Tyranids and restoring the planet as if nothing happened. Kind of a very happy alternative to exterminatus.
