Ive been working on this model for a while now.
Its more an oddity than anything else.
The idea being to make a 1 piece force of considerable points value.
The model can be see here

Ive stood my Burna Gargant next to this IG Titan so you can see how huge it is.
Still needs some constuction work and a good paint job, just wanted peoples oppinons on the concept of such a huge model.

Hi!

Wow! Now THATS big. I wonder how much bigger than an Imperator it is?

Out of curiousity what manufacturer does the model belong to?

You KrOOza, I envision this model as the Tau response to Imperial titans. The ultimate tech titan.

The model was made by Bandai.
Its a Dugger Type Robot from the Xabungle range.
This range of models was discontinused long ago.
You can see the whole Xabungle range here though

I had this model some 15 or so year ago.
Picked this one up from ebay for ?12.
I had to diside weather to keep it origanal or convert it for either WH40K or Epic.
I disided to go for an Epic converstion, as it seemed the silliest :D
I like ur Tau idea. I was going to have the model as an IG Titan because of its design, being more militry and less gothic looking. But I guess with some work it could also be used as a Tau model.
There are loads of GUNDAM and other such robots out there.
I might go have a look for something more naturaly Tau looking ?and maybe build another.
Models that I reakon would work well are these...
http://www.gundamshop.com/Merchan....Count=4
and
http://www.gundamshop.com/Merchan....Count=6

These two ?models are in 1/144 scale not 1/100
So Im gussing thered still be bigger than an Imperator but proberly a better size for epic

What about the two massive titans that open the doors to the Emperors throne room? Could it be one of them?

What/where is the fluff for that? I would expect them to be emperor titans, as in AT, it says they are the biggest titans to be built.

Personal I think there shouldnt be a limit to titan size "within reason"
Ive often toyed with the idea of a SoopaDoopaMega Gargant.
If someones willing to make such a model and invest all those points into a single model then why not? :;):

Hi!

I have entertained from time to time making these "ultra-big" land units. I think the idea came from the Reviersco "land battleships". The squat land train is sort of the idea, although much much larger.

Jimbo's ork "leviathan" makes me wonder what other ideas have for such huge models?

Well, not as tall - longer, I'll bet, though - does it also transport troops? Looks like it would.
PS I didn't use the L.... word once this time.

Yerh I gota agree. Over all size wize I think ur Levaithan is just as big. Not to mention its far more creative... truely impressive :)
Mines basicly a standed model with a few extras stuck on.  :-:
