==Warlord-Sinister Pattern Battle Psi-Titan== [[File:WarlordSinisterAT.jpg|500px|right|thumb|A model on the Psychic Titan courtesy of Forge World. [[Tl;dr]], the <s>Mechanicus</s> [[Emperor]] saw the wonder that is the [[Eldar]] [[Warlock Titan]] and [[Blood Ravens|'borrowed']] its design philosophy.]] {{topquote|While the Warlord-Sinister appears to be a singular creation in form and function, the concept of the 'Psi-Titan' however is not an entirely unknown one, at least in the annals of the Great Crusade's foes, and even the more obscure reaches of the Mechanicum's own Titan lore. In the depths of pre-Unification history, there are numerous occluded references of what might be described as 'Psi-Titans'; in this case, Titan engines designed to be piloted by and amplify the powers of a single psyker as experiments and unique relic engines of war. Though now long suppressed by Martian orthodoxy, what became of the machines themselves or the sub-cults of the Omnissiah who created and piloted them remains unknown. Among the psychically potent xenos species with which Mankind has warred, psi-construct war engines were known to be possessed by both the Eldar and the Fra'al, and more tenuously by the now exterminated Vaxal'rek, some of which easily matched the Titans of the Imperium in scale if not always in form.|Horus Heresy: Inferno}} As if regular Warlords weren't bad enough, the Emperor decided to create a new breed of Titan. The Psi-Titan (Psitan?). The important thing to note is that they are PSI Titans, not PSYCHIC. In a Psychic Titan the pilot is a psyker. In a Psi Titan the pilot is an untouchable because otherwise they would die from the sheer amount of screaming in the warp from all the tortured shackled Alpha psykers that are used to power the thing. Yes, a Psi-Titan works by chaining a bunch of Alpha-grade Psykers to the Titan and bleeding them dry to fuel the Titan's weapons and protect it from harm while the machine is controlled by a human born without a soul, the third most Grimdark thing in all 40k to date, after the Dark Eldar and, of course, the [[Daemonculaba]], this and the introduction quote of the Ordo Sinister in the Horus Heresy Book: Inferno may give you a hint that the Dark Age of Technology was anything but Star Trek/The Culture. The Technology for the Ordo Sinister Psi Titans is exclusive to the Emperor - aside from the Warlord titan it is mounted on. The Big E demanded a whole bunch of ('''25''', to be exact) Warlords for the Ordo Sinister until eventually the Mechanicum reluctantly gave them up. They were kept a strict secret until their deployment, with only two known instances of Psi-Titans fighting before Prospero, one instance a single one is used to bring a whole planet in submission through the sheer manifest terror of a few dozen tortured psykers enhanced through forbidden technology. The other, three were deployed against demented Eldar (who were similar to the [[Dark Eldar]]) from an adrift craftworld in active combat, and utterly wrecked said Craftworld's titan-equivalents (although losing one of their own in the process). You can bet your ass [[Eldar]] players are beyond [[Rage|pissed]] that the filthy Mon'Keigh manage to get a Psi Titan before they (A species who actually ''HAD'' [[Warlock Titan|a psychic Titan]] that is still awaiting a modern update and is even mentioned in the Psi-Titan's fluff) did. ===BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!=== Have you ever wanted your Warlord to be capable of psychic cheese on top of all its other cheese? You're in luck, because Forge World has introduced the Warlord-Sinister Pattern Psi-Titan. Making its mundane cousin look cheap at 3250 points base, it gains the following new tricks: *Psychic Pilot, with ML3 and the following powers: **A 6 bolter-shot equivalent Nova with Soulblaze and Ignores Cover. **A blessing that allows it to regenerate Hull Points on a 5+, because it wasn't hard enough to kill already. **A witchfire which hits all units within 24" of a point with a Haywire hit (for vehicles-'''EVEN FLYERS''') or d6 Heavy Bolter shots (PER 5 MODELS) if it's infantry. *Forces Ld checks for all units within 12" of it. **Anyone insane enough to try and charge it takes the test with a -3 penalty. *Swaps one of its default Volcano Cannons for a new weapon, the '''[[Sinistramanus Tenebrae]]'''. It's an absurdly long-ranged apocalyptic mega-blast that's Strength D, with Fleshbane on its middle circle and Poison 4+ on its outer circle, and AP 1/2/3 for its respective ranges. Oh, and the innermost circle is a Vortex so a lucky roll on the Destroyer table probably won't save you. *Its death explosion has a 50/50 chance of being Strength D, so there's an even better chance that it'll fuck over anyone nearby '''''if''''' it goes down.
