Was that picture supposed to be a "proto-Imperator" or was this the "siege titan" concept? I remember the picture well, but could never figure out what it was supposed to represent.
Given the scale with the human next to it, its too small for an Imperator, so if its warlord size, is this concept closer to the one we are trying to figure out in the original post picture?
That art dates back to the Adeptus Titanicus era, did they mention Imperators and Warmingers then? I thought they were a SM/TL invention?
It was conjecture on your part that the forward facing carapace titan might be purely a siege titan, rather than a class of titan that could be outfitted as many types. Given it's built in metal base it seems likely to be an even older prototype titan model, before the metal mark 0 was done and obviously flexible (as the guns in the similar looking art aren't especially siegey).
FW have mentioned possible plans to introduce more Titan types after the Warlord, commenting there were always meant to be other types than what we knew about.
I think we could do with a better photo. People probably snapped photos without realising it was rare. Anyone care to post up a copy and pasted threads on a few forums titled along the lines of 'HH Weekender mystery Epic Titan - photos?' Giving the existing photo and mentioning us Epic veterans are seeking better photo(s) of it. I can't right now as I'm on a bus to a club to play games of epic today.
