THE FATHER OF TITANS THE CASTIGATOR

The castigator is such a cool part of the lore it’s just such a shame it only shows up at the end of one book but I hope we will see more like it sometime

Typical Grey Knights storyline 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ By Games Workshop's own inconsistent logic, the fact that they were able to _destroy_ it (after removing the demon posessing it and not getting squad-wiped in the process somehow) means that it should be close to impossible for the Space Wolves to kill any of them.

To be fair, Titans ARE shown as one of the few things capable of killing a Primarch, and if the Primarch gets caught by surprise in a bad position they can certainly die.

Claimed to be the first titan, yet was extremely large rather than a smaller prototype.

It's a shame this class of titan was such a cool concept that got wasted but at the same time, that's the entire point of this thing, it's basically a "here's a cool dark age of technology thing that we can't have" Also for people complaining about grey knights destroying it, they didn't just deploy on a battlefield and shoot it to death, they boarded the thing and destroyed it from the inside. While it may be the most devastating war machine on land, it's basically a small ship to board and destroy, the only difference, is there's an atmosphere.

Castigator: The Grey Knights never told you what happened to your father? IMPERATOR: THEY TOLD ME ENOUGH! THEY TOLD ME YOU KILLED THE OMNISIAH! Castigator: NO, CHILD...I AM YOUR FATHER!

[@davisdf3064]

Imperator: NOOOOO!!! Castigator: It's true, you can see it in your blueprints

Battletech fans in the corner looking at this: Ah yes. Hellfire artillery target.

[@nix-cipher]

I think i read about this in one of the stories about the Grey Knights...

Ah, so has greater than > weaponry to destroy entire armies- is also a ballerina manoeuvrability wise, but small shiney team is all that’s needed to wreck it.

I've always loved reading about the god-machines. Recently I've been reading Titanicus by Dan Abnett. So far so good, it's nice to see bigger isn't always better; a Warlord gets taken out by 2 warhounds

[@tarnished9108]

Yea warhounds in packs are deadly to larger titans. If you get a chance check out Mortis by John French it delves a little into how warhounds hunt larger titans. I haven't read Titanicus tho , is it good?

[@WTTuck]

@@tarnished9108 good to know, I'll have to read Mortis. As far as Titanicus, yeah it's good. It's a standalone Dan Abnett book so expect several themes and different storylines throughout the book, i.e. a major from a tank regiment, a tertiary PDS conscript, a convicted murderer Moderati. Even the title of the book is somewhat tongue-in-cheek.
