Ïa! ïa! All hail the God-Machines!
Here's some WIP shots of Barathrum Negilians, Mars-Alpha pattern Reaver.
The Machine is pictured here outfitted with a close-in support weapons suite: an Inferno Gun for flushing soft targets from cover and a Chain-wrecker for dealing with hard targets. An Apocalypse Launcher completes the weapons outfit, providing Barathrum with a flexible engagement load-out.
Barathrum is a great example of weapons outfit being led by temperament. Like all Battle Titans, it is readily able to swap its weapons suite, but its aggressive temperament, coupled with a dynasty of battle-hungry Moderati, has meant that its weapons suite has been virtually fixed to help it in urban engagements, where it has excelled.
The front-loaded muzzle of the cockpit houses a complex suite of sensory equipment, and in common with all Validus engines, it is controlled by means of a mnemo-harmonic organ.

I've left the first Reaver of my Titan Legion fairly unmarked at the mo – though since he's a good few thousand years old, not clean! – as I'm intending to record their victories and defeats as I go.
