If someone has both the GW metal Warlord Titan and the Forgeworld Reaver Titan can you please post a side by side shot of them.

I read in another thread the GW titans are scaled small, much like their flyers, but FW makes the Ttians in true 1/300, just like their flyers.  

I was curious if this was true.

Thanks

Not true, unfortunately. The FW Titans are slightly underscaled, deliberately to match the SG warlord.

The SG warlord was made first, at under 1:300, then FW made the warhound and reaver in the same lucius style, and scaled to match the SG one.

Darren Hayes has said that he'd like to remake the titans truescale at some point.

Do you mean Will Hayes?

Will Hayes is the man! I'd love to see larger titans from him, especially Revenants. When was it that he said this Zombo?

FW open day a couple of years ago to me, and since in communications with E&C.

I spoke to a customer service rep from FW a few weeks ago and he told me that they had no intention of expanding the Epic line any time soon.

But hey, what does a phone jockey know right?  :vD

True, unfortunately.

I didn't say it'd be soon, or even definite, just that he'd expressed an interest in doing it at some point.

I think there's some WIP pics in my Warmaster's Workbench thread somewhere but I'm a bit too lazy to find the exact page right now. Basically an IMperator titan, 4 rhinos, 4 warlord turbolasers and a bunch of plasticard:p

Thanks for the pictures and comments.  It would be nice to see the Imperial Titans truly tower over the battlefield, but hey.

Only the FW Warhound is in scale, all the other Titans are out of scale: ad example the Warlord is 1:720 and it would be 16 cm tall!!!
