why not create the models and just use them as 'counts as'?

E:A is certainly a game which avoids adding rules when it isn't necessary, most weapons/attacks are highly abstracted to get to a simple AP/AT/MW value anyway

I think we can agree that the Imperator titan should have no CC variant, it's simply not suited to that role, so you have the imperator as a close-ish firebase, and the warmonger as a long ranged support titan. What other roles are there that an imperator titan can realistically fulfill within the context of a game of Epic? how differently is it really likely to play?

Extrapolating and considering what Neal said, all I can see the imperator doing is working like an even bigger warlord titan within the standard GT scenario, you'd have to make some pretty severe changes to alter that and encouraging people to stop objective-camping

Gentlemen, i think you will find that the fluff around the high age/golden age of technology before the dark age gives room for absolutely any technology you can imagine to be introduced into the game-its just a matter of PV, if its capable of taking out several titans every turn then its got to cost thousands of points i dont see the problem with taking an existing titan and doing like for like weapon swaps eg imperator has a plasma weapon equivalent to ordinatus so a swap for another ordinatus weapon would be fine.

Or the Warbringer Variant: Corvus assault pod in each greave, a battery of carapace mounted heavy flamers that form a glowing burning set of eagle wings in battle, one arm carrying the tempest hammer with it's built in mega-melta, the other carrying the Typhoon Shield, capable of sheltering the titan and all below from even an exterminatus barrage.

Dark Adeptus by Ben Counter has a very neat dark age Titan as one of the main characters...

Ok, lets get going
who wants to do stats for epic 40k,EA and Netepic

I would think it a huge plague gun instead of a plasma inialator (I am still dyslectic) a slime/muggus Traill, no transport capability, demonic, and contagion marker on the barrage templates
What do you think

Now we need a tutorial on how to make it while I write op a draft for him for netepic (you made him you name him (like abominatus the despoiler))

how about some close combat ability for the rear head and giant centipedes?

Not a bad idea the ceterpedes are cc blades and the head as a cc head (possible will think about it closer) what about a name a idea "kraken the decayer of lives"

i made some background up when i made the model and tied it in with characters from my 40k death guard but that was a decade ago, ill see if i can find it.

Perfect fluff is good makes the unit more believable and feels more present rememher to make a how to make it with a bits guide
