[[File:Electrify.jpg|thumb|right|350px|I HAVE THE POWER! <s>Thundercats HOOOOOOO?</s>]]
'''Librarians''' are [[Space Marine]] [[psyker]]s. Less likely to be fucked inside out by [[daemon]]s though, due to being a superhuman and all. Often overheard punishing xenos and heretics alike while screaming cheesy one-liners like "Your book is overdue, BITCH!". They have varying degrees of awesomeness depending on what writer and/or chapter. Usually though, they dominate the battlefield and are feared by both friend and foe as they wield a vast selection of pure psykic awesomeness.

==History==
Back during the [[Great Crusade]], when the [[Primarch]]s were reunited with their legions, the Space Marines began discovering some of their new recruits had psychic potential. Wanting to utilize this and prevent them from falling to [[Warp]] corruption, [[Magnus the Red]], [[Sanguinius]], and [[Jaghatai Khan]] proposed the creation of Librariums, divisions of the Legions which would take in psyker Space Marines and train them to use their powers for the good of the [[Imperium of Man]]. Seeing the possible good, the [[God-Emperor of Mankind|Emperor]] agreed, authorizing the go ahead and presumably getting all teary-eyed at how independent and grown-up his kids had gotten (while being awesome and manly of course). When the Librariums proved effective, they spread to other Legions. However, a number of Primarchs, namely [[Mortarion]] (he's got psyker issues that would make a Culexus blush), [[Rogal Dorn]], [[Corax]], and [[Leman Russ]] opposed the training of Librarians and wanted the program shut down, believing that the powers of the Warp could not be controlled (Russ maintained that [[Derp|Rune Priests were not actually Librarians,]] given the Space Wolves insistent maintaining that they drew power from [[Fenris]], not the Warp). Further concern was raised with Magnus's constant peering into the [[Warp]] to learn more about his powers, which Russ and Mortarion felt warranted censure.

===Then Nikaea Happened===
[[File:Blood_Angel_Librarian.jpg|thumb|You can tell this dude in front is a Librarian (even though he's red, instead of blue!), cause of the HUGE MOTHERFUCKING BOOK on his head. Also THIN YOUR PAINTS]]
Following the Emperor's departure from the Great Crusade, a conclave was called to determine whether or not Librarians should continue to be used. With representatives summoned to the Council of Nikaea (often remembered as the Trial of Magnus the Red) both sides pleaded their cases. In the end, the Emperor, fearing that Magnus was being way too arrogant and reckless in his pursuit of power and in serious danger of Fausting himself over (which is exactly what ended up happening), decided that Librarians posed too great a risk and ordered the Legions to disband their Librariums, return to their battle companies, and never use their psychic powers in battle again. An edict Magnus ignored. Well, actually, an edict that quite a lot of them either totally ignored or later broke. But Magnus broke it harder. The White Scars simply ignored it, but the likes of Dorn and Vulkan implemented it straight away.

''"Hear now the words of my ruling''

''I am not blind to the needs of the Imperium, but nor am I blind to the realities of the hearts of men. I hear men speak of knowledge and power as though they are abstract concepts to be employed as simply as a sword or gun. They are not. Power is a living force, and the danger with power is obsession. A man who attains a measure of power will find it comes to dominate his life until all he can think of is the acquisition of more. Nearly all men can stand adversity, but few can stand the ultimate test of character, that of wielding power without succumbing to its darker temptations.''

''Peering into the darkness to gain knowledge of the Warp is fraught with peril, for it is an inconstant place of shifting reality, capricious lies and untruths. The seeker after truth must have a care he is not deceived, for false knowledge is far more dangerous than ignorance. All men wish to possess knowledge, but few are willing to pay the price. Always men will seek to take the short cut, the quick route to power, and it is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe, that will lure him to evil ways. True knowledge is gained only after the acquisition of wisdom. Without wisdom, a powerful person does not become more powerful, he becomes reckless. His power will turn on him and eventually destroy all he has built.''

''I have walked paths no man can know and faced the unnameable creatures of the Warp. I understand all too well the secrets and dangers that lurk in its hidden darkness. Such things are not for lesser minds to know; no matter how powerful or knowledgeable they believe themselves to be. The secrets I have shared serve as warnings, not enticements to explore further. Only death and damnation await those who pry too deeply into secrets not meant for mortals.''

''I see now I have allowed my sons to delve too profoundly into matters I should never have permitted them to know even existed. Let it be known that no one shall suffer censure, for this conclave is to serve Unity, not discord. But no more shall the threat of sorcery be allowed to taint the warriors of the Astartes. Henceforth, it is my will that no Legion will maintain a Librarius department. All its warriors and instructors must be returned to the battle companies and never again employ any psychic powers.''

''Woe betide he who ignores my warning or breaks faith with me. He shall be my enemy, and I will visit such destruction upon him and all his followers that, until the end of all things, he shall rue the day he turned from my light."''

Dude could give a speech.

Unfortunately, this seemed to be one of those decisions that the Emperor didn't really think through. It added yet another layer of bullshit on top of his fear of the warp and psykers in general, a group of people who, had they been able to ply their mind-bullets freely would have been an awesome weapons against the traitors (I mean presumably) when Heresy time came around. '''Thing is'''... This is something that the books and stuff seem to say a lot but it's kinda... Well... It's hard to say how true that actually is/was.

At Istvaan psykers wouldn't have made any difference (3 legions vs 8 is a bad day for the good guys) and the balance of forces was so extreme that just knowing ahead of time wouldn't have helped. At Calth they ''might'' have made a difference. All of the former [[Ultramarine]] librarians had bad dreams in the days before the treachery, so maybe they might have seen what was coming. But if they could ever have convinced [[Roboute Guilliman]] of impending treachery (remember this was happening just after Isstvan V and communication was moving slowly thanks to the Warp Storms, on top of the fact that Marines fighting each other was totally alien to them (fluff writers expect you to disregard the fact that the Wolves had already massacred two other legions and tried to do the same to the World Eaters)), they would have really been struggling to deal with the magic stuff because it was totally new and a weird combination of technology and warpstuff. Oh, and of course practically no-one who wasn't on Guilliman's flagship or with the 4th company even knew what the problem was. So it seems really unlikely that Librarians would have magically made the Heresy all better.

In any case, the edict of Nikaea stood for a year or so at most, and it was ignored or abandoned by nearly all the legions.

====Loyalist Response to Nikaea====
[[File:Awesome stuff.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Toasty.]]
*In one of his brighter ideas, [[Roboute Guilliman]] himself stated during the Battle of Calth that the Edict of Nikea needed to be overturned as soon as possible, even deducing that the Edict's time was [[Just As Planned|so convenient]] that it could only mean that [[Tzeentch|someone]] had arranged it. Thus, when he thought that Terra and the Emperor had already fallen he decided to build the [[Imperium Secundus]] in a manner he thought sensible and kept his Chief Librarian around as an advisor ''(much to the chagrin of a [[Space Wolf|Space Wolves]] detachment deployed on Macragge to "ensure" Guilliman's loyalty.)''
*Without a [[Ferrus Manus|Primarch]], the remaining [[Iron Hands]] mostly fell in with the [[Ultramarines]] and so basically did whatever they were doing.
*[[Lion El'Jonson]] re-introduced the Librarians as soon as he discovered that the traitors were using daemons, presumably knowing what shit was going down from his experiences on Caliban. Even going so far as to punch the living fuck out of a [[Chaplain]] who reminded him that it was going against the Emperor's edict. As in, literally punched his head off - although said Chaplain was about to execute one of the Librarians for using his psychic powers against daemons and refused to back down, soooooo...
*[[Rogal Dorn]] locked all his Librarians up in the [[Phalanx]] and refused to even let them rejoin their battle brothers as line-troopers. However, when [[Nathaniel_Garro#Nathaniel_Garro|Nathaniel Garro]] [[FAIL|stealthed]] his way on board to try and rescue them, they seemed happy enough where they were. Apparently all the [[Imperial Fists]] need to feel happy is thick walls around them. With the Primarch explaining that they were exactly [[Just as Planned|where they needed to be]]. Presumably for keeping them in reserve for when the Imperium really need them. What happened to them afterwards is (as of yet) unexplained so we're forced to assume that were just left there to rot for a millenia or so until they died of old age or went rogue and warp-walked their way out. This self-imposed handicap made keeping Terra secure a lot more difficult - psykers would have been an extra layer of security against infiltrators and spies.
*While [[Sanguinius]] desperately tried to [[Noblebright|uphold the Emperor's word]], his own former Librarians met in secret and proved their worth by saving the entire Legion from the daemonic precursor of the Black Rage at Signus. So he kept them afterwards.
*[[Vulkan]] also tried the Sanguinius approach. However, there were barely any [[Salamanders]] left after Isstvan, though by M41 they looked back upon Nikaea as an ancient and archaic edict that had no place any more.
*[[Corax]] was a latent psyker but voted against at Nikea. Following a personal encounter with [[Possessed Marine|Gal Vorbak]], Corax did a 180 and began advocating using Librarians, nearly getting into a shooting match with the Custodes over it. We don't know if they reinstated their librarians but it seems extremely likely that they did after the Alpha Legion attack to disrupt/steal their cloning tech (which Librarians could have detected). Lets be honest he was dabbling in Gene-tech, he wouldn't have even flinched at going against Nikea, like giving Charles Manson a speeding ticket - it wouldn't register.
*The [[White Scars]] just kinda shrugged and twiddled their mustaches and did their own thing same as ever, including keeping their Storm Seers around. Since it was also suggested that the [[Jaghatai Khan|Khan]] himself was a psyker (true enough, though he favoured using his sword instead), on top of his total disregard for authority and support for the librarians this shouldn't be that much of a surprise. If nothing else, he could fall back on the excuse that he wasn't at Nikea at the time the edict was made and could therefore plead ignorance. His "stormseer" who spoke for the Scars at Nikea simply privately refused to accept it and vindicated himself shortly after by exploding a daemon with lightning. His psychic powers (and those of the one surviving loyalist from the Thousand Sons) later saved the entire Legion during the Horus Heresy.
*The [[Space Wolves]] supported the banning of librarians, but kept their own afterwards. They totally denied that their Rune Priests actually were pyskers at all, and claimed that their power came from Fenris, as opposed to the warp. Which was totally wrong, of course, and they may or may not have known this. Of course, seeing as they use psychic hoods and psychic foci...they totally knew. They might just have been jerks, or perhaps more likely the Big E made a decision to tolerate their beliefs, seeing it was important for his 'executioners' to be able to deal with other warp-users. In fact, two of their librarians, Aun Helwintr and Ohthere Wyrdmake, were [[DERP|vocal opponents of employing librarians]] at the council and yet directly participated in the [[Burning of Prospero]].
*[[Malcador the Sigillite]] gave tacit permission to for the Librarians among the [[Knights-Errant]] to begin using their psychic powers, even supplying them with psychic hoods. The [[Adeptus Custodes]] made it clear that they did not recognize Malcador's authority to do so, but since the Emperor Himself had appointed Malcador as Regent of Terra, they were in a bit of a logical-paradox: either enforce the Emperor's will by taking out Malcador, or defy the Emperor's will by taking out Malcador. They settled for threatening to kill any Librarian using his powers in their presence, so the Knights-Errant just did it out of their presence.

So by the Siege of Terra all but two of the loyalist legions definitely had active librarians, and one of the other two probably did.

====Traitor Response to Nikaea====
*[[Lorgar]] and his [[Word Bearers]] were already planning evil, so they just ignored the prohibition.
*[[Magnus|Magnus The Red]] decided being a ninja space wizard was too cool, and ignored the decree. If he hadn't he would've been all right.
*The [[World Eaters]] ignored the decree as well, still having official Librarians (not Sorcerers, actual honest to goodness Librarians) during the Heresy, and there's no way in hell they reinstated them since they would be glad to get rid of them. As best we know they weren't represented at Nikaea (for reasons that may become obvious) and it's easy to see that Angron just didn't give a fuck because the decision didn't involve RAGE. However, the World Eaters hated their librarians all the while they existed and frequently didn't even tolerate them being around. This was nothing specifically personal, it was just that psykers made the Butchers' Nails a bit...''twitchy'' and could not themselves be implanted without becoming brain-dead. Which is not a good thing for brain implants that are already turning you into a psychotic, rage-filled murder machine. Between this and a superstitious dislike of anything "unnatural" (but only the terminally stupid would actually mention this paradox to Angron, who while being unnatural in so many ways, is above all unnaturally angry) there just weren't enough Librarians left to bother suppressing and the World Eaters mostly ignored them. By the time of the Shadow Crusade the Librarians weren't even considered full members of the Legion anymore, and Angron killed them all shortly after he became a Daemon Prince.
*[[Mortarion]] was actually just about the biggest psyker hater in the universe, and was one of the decree's strongest supporters. Hilariously, this backfired badly on him when he eventually realised that getting the edict pushed through only weakened the loyalists psykers; his allies were (mostly) letting their psykers run rampant with a whole new set of freakshow abilities. Things got so bad for him that he tried to get the librarian supporting Jaghatai Kahn on his side. Jaghatai countered by attempting to carve the hypocrite out of Mortarion's pustuled arse. He then pillaged a Thousand Son's library world and summoned a demon whose sole purpose was to tempt him into using sorcery even more. It worked, and Mortarion then yo-yoed between studying sorcery whilst pillaging every ritual device he could get his hands on, and smashing the various trinkets he acquired. It peaked with Molech before Mortarion tried to get back to first principles. Ironically due to his lack of people skills and his poor Psy-dar he never knew his second-in-command was a dirty warp burglar. First rule of management, get to know your people.
*[[Alpha Legion]] also ignored the edict, like they did almost everything else.
*The Night Lords nominally accepted the edict but the Night Haunter mostly left the decision to individual company commanders. Most happily went along the edict (even going so far as to exile their Chief Librarian) as they weren't too fond of psykers anyway but occasionally dabbled in sorcery throughout the Heresy.
* The Sons of Horus went along with the decree initially but learned quickly from the Word Bearers (through the Lodges) and were quick to use sorcery after Istvaan.
* It's not really known what the Iron Warriors thought. But if it helped them build or tear down fortresses any quicker they would have joined the "fuck Nikaea bandwagon" with gusto.
* We likewise do not know how the Emperor's Children reacted. Presumably they went along with it to demonstrate their perfect loyalty, but then no EC Librarian has ever appeared in the fluff. However in fulgrims omnibus they point out that that they saw psychic abilities as a mutation and therefore a flaw. And cause they were little bitches they swallowed the emperors cock that was his edict when the time came. Later on they used sorcery to large degree.

In M41 the Edict technically still stands (no-one could overrule the emperor) but it stopped being enforced after the heresy and the marines could please themselves. Also of interest is that the Emperor violated the Edict himself by ordering the founding of the Grey Knights, who are even bigger violators of it than the Thousand Sons.

==="Modern" 40k===
[[File:DA Librarian.jpg|thumb|right|300px|[[Star Wars|I AM THE SENATE!]]]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MHusGl9BeM !!]]
There is obviously a bit of [[1984|historical revisionism]] going on, because most accounts from the 41st Millenium look back at Nikaea and suggest that the Emperor actually said "[[derp|yes]]" to Librarians, so long as they were trained in a controlled and careful manner. ''Which is what the [[White Scars]] and [[Blood Angels]] were doing at the time anyway, it was only the [[Thousand Sons]] who ruined it for everyone by thinking there should be no limits''

By M41 it has been left it up to individual Chapters whether or not to use Librarians, and most Chapters have Librarians to some degree or another, with the noticeable exceptions of the [[Black Templars]] and the [[Marines Malevolent]], the former is because a psyker Marine is one less Marine to beat the shit out of enemies in melee and the latter is probably because they are the biggest dickheads in the galaxy.

==Ranks==
Among [[Codex Astartes|Codex]] compliant Chapters, the ranks of the Librarium are based on their level of training and advancement. They are as follows:

*'''Chief Librarian''': The head of the Librarium, and the most powerful psyker in the Chapter. He is also one of the masters of the Chapter and usually a senior adviser to the Chapter Master. On the tabletop they are usually represented by named special characters of psychic mastery level 3, ''(or level 2 if they occasionally have some other unique ability)'' If you don't have a special character in your chosen chapter then you'll just have to settle for a cool Epistolary.
*'''Epistolary''': The highest rank below Chief Librarian, Epistolaries serve as the main communication aides on the battlefield, sending psychic messages through the Warp to their brothers in the Librariums, similar to Astropaths, but without having their eyes burned out. While no longer explicitly stated in the 6th edition codex, Epistolaries have traditionally been psychic mastery 2 on the tabletop with the ability to know and cast two powers per turn.
*'''Codicier''': Mid-level Librarians, who evaluate reports from campaigns and document them in their Librariums. Supposedly represented on the tabletop as the common variety "Librarian", only at level 1.
*'''Lexicanum''': Entry-level Librarians, they are responsible for compiling battlefield reports for the Codiciers. Interestingly, they don't wear psychic hoods, or even helmets unless in dangerous environments. Haven't been represented on the tabletop since 2nd edition, when they were WS/BS4 W1 A1 Ld8 and a psychic power.
*'''Acolytum''': Librarians in training. Brought in from the battle companies before or shortly after they leave the Scout company, they're tested for psychic potential. It's possible that the Acolytum may be killed in the process, but that's life in a Space Marine Chapter for you. If they survive they're enrolled in Introduction to Mind Bullets and How Not to Melt Your Head 101

Titan (Warhammer 40,000)

2017-07-19T00:43:58Z

2A02:C7D:CA0:8500:492F:1B3B:703F:D7A5: /* Bio-Titans */

''"Day of wrath, day of anger 
''will dissolve the world in ashes, 
''as foretold by David and the Sibyl. 
''Great trembling there will be 
''when the Judge descends from heaven 
''to examine all things closely.."'' 
Dies Irae

A Titan is a general term used by the Imperium for all things that are [[Dakka|ridiculously MASSIVE and carry HUGE FUCKING RAPE GUNS that can blow the fuck out off the opposing side]]. The bigger ones are humanoid Giant Robots. And they say the Tau are the only mecha-using weeaboos in the setting

Most races own a titan of some sort. Each race's Titans reflect the design philosophy behind the rest of their armies. So Imperial Titans are walking Cathedrals with Gothic architecture with guns poking out of every crevice, [[Chaos]] Titans look like a doom metal rock concert made of spikes and evil, [[Ork]] Titans are cartoony and cobbled together out of odds and ends also with guns poking out of every crevice, [[Tyranid]] Bio-Titans are essentially (even) more toothy and (even) more tentacly forms of [[Monsterpocalypse|kaiju]], [[Eldar]] Titans are sleek [[wraithbone]] slendermen...that incidentally move like him too.

None of the fluff writers seem to have a consistent idea of how big a Titan is (other than that it's big); [[Graham McNeil]] says an Imperator is 43 metres tall, [[Dan Abnett]] says an Imperator is over 140 metres tall, and the cover of the graphic novel ''Titan II: Vivaporius'' shows a smaller Warlord with access ladders on its guns suggesting each barrel is the size of a house, meaning the Titan itself would be over half a kilometre tall. However, as Titans have to be shipped to where they are going to be used, they can't be a (very) substantial size relative to Battleships (the largest ship available to carry them); we can't be certain of Battleship sizes *either*, but best guesses place them at 8-12k long. Combined with the fundamental scaling issue that Titans can't fly but Attack Craft (commonly 70-100 meters) can, so Titans would simply never be fielded if they were substantially larger, and 43 meters becomes far and away the most reasonable of those three guesses. Though some source says the Imperator/Warmonger is 80 meters tall, matching a common pattern of Fury interceptor's length. Given how Titans are transported, this is also a reasonable size. That, by the way, is as tall as a Boeing 747 is long.

==Imperial Titans==

''Imagine a city that hates you. Now give it city leveling weapons and legs to walk on, then fill it with more things that hate you. You have a rough idea of a Titan.''

The [[Imperium]] has quite a variety of titans under the control of [[Adeptus Titanicus]], each has a name and no two are the same.

They are quite often referred to as god-machines due to their ability to blow the fucking shit out of anything in their way. They are so fucking huge that infantry can't do anything to them with their tiny ass guns. These titans can unleash unlimited amounts of [[rape|RAPE]] via their '''MASSIVE FUCKING GUNS''' that are mounted on their arms and sometimes on their shoulders. Well, actually there are guns fucking '''EVERYWHERE''' on a titan, so when you see one you are quite fucked. They also have [[void shields]] which makes them pretty much invulnerable to whatever shit you can throw at it. (update: in Epic, infantry can shoot at it enough to overload the Void Shields and bring them down, letting other Warmachines pummel the actual Titan).

Like all machines made by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] more complex than a toaster, Titans have [[machine-spirit]]s that reflect their nature. Meaning Titans have machine spirits full of [[RAGE]] that want to [[Rip and tear]] everything it sees. To combat this, Titans are controlled by individuals called ''Princeps'' who possess extremely strong wills which can override the machine-spirit's bloodthirsty nature. However, if the Princeps is not careful in synchronization, then he goes insane and his mind is consumed by the Titan's machine spirit which then goes berserk and destroys fucking everything a la Evangelion.

Imperial Titans are old. As a rule. No exceptions. These things are so old that they make some Eldar Titans look young by comparison. ''That'' old. The main reason that these titans are so bloody ancient is that the Imperium often lacks the knowledge, skill, or resources to build them anywhere but [[Forge World|Mars, Ryza, and apparently Lucius.]] In the good old days, every other Forge World had a Titan Legion. The second reason they are so god-dang geriatric is that when Titans get killed, they are usually so big they don't get killed ''dead''. This means that the Mechanicus can haul the thing back to the Titan's home world and fix it up again. (Not wholly true; there is a small number of highly highly-censured tech-priests that make, and even design, new Titans. However, the work is so nearly outright heresy that people don't talk about it much.)

Oh yeah, we forgot. Imperial Titans have home worlds that run the upkeep for a whole Legion of titans of various sizes and classes. A single titan can be deployed by itself, though small ''detachments'' of titans are more common, typically the '''''whole legion''''' will "walk" together to end a threat. Because, for the Imperium, if we need to send one titan, we might as well send thirty-plus titans just to be sure that ''that severe'' of a threat gets taken care of.

During the Horus Heresy, several of the Titan Legions defected to Horus, giving [[Chaos]] its very own supply of Titans. Most of them are relatively similar to their loyalist counterparts, but often they end up getting possessed by [[daemon]]s, making them far more dangerous.
===[[Imperial Knight]]===
[[Image:Knight paladin.jpg|thumb|right|Nice crotch-banner.]]
This unique walker is small enough (at "only" 9 meters) to be piloted by a single person, but is no less deadly than a true Titan. They were originally designed during the Age of Strife when several members of the AdMech discovered feudal worlds whose leaders were willing to provide military assistance in exchange for the Mechanicus' technology. Although they have long since been overshadowed by the full-size Titans, the Adeptus Mechanicus still deploys them as a reserve force on occasion.

There are currently nine different Knight variants which have up-to-date rules right now.
*Knight Paladin: Equipped with an oversized Battle Cannon for use in most combat situations.
*Knight Errant: Equipped with a Thermal Cannon to vaporize enemy armor.
*Knight Gallant: A melee knight with a super-cool power fist that can pick up and throw other big dead things.
*Knight Warden: Equipped with a super gatling gun to ventilate mobs.
*Knight Crusader: A dakkalicious knight with both a gatling gun and a thermal cannon or battle cannon.
*Knight Lancer: A Melee Knight Armed with a Lance and Shield.
*Knight Castigator: Armed with a Sword and twin Bolt Cannon.
*Knight Acheron: Armed with a D-strength ChainFIST, and an autocannon-strength Hellstorm template
*Knight Magaera: Lots of anti-infantry goodies, but can swap its standard chainsword out for a D-strength version of a Dreadnought's siege claw, complete with Fleshbane flamer
*Knight Styrix: Murders shit, unique to heresy-era lists, and has the same claw option as its brother, the Magaera

All of them have a reasonable points cost (by Titan standards, anyway) and also wield Strength D chainswords or giant power fists that can pick up and throw whatever they kill if it's big enough. [[Cheese|Have fun.]]

[[Image:Warhound9.jpg|thumb|right|'''Where are your Dark Gods now?''']]
===[[Warhound Scout Titan]]===
The smallest traditional Titan class the Imperium has but it's still massive. To put things into perspective, the Warhound is around 14 meters at rest. [http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Metal_Gear_REX Metal Gear REX] from the MGS series is around 13 meters high, just 1m short of a standard warhound. It looks like a dinosaur with no tail. It carries smaller weapons such as a massive megabolter which is like a minigun that fires off tank shells, or a Huge ass [[meme|LAZAR]] that rips your tanks a new one like they were made of cardboard. Or maybe throw a really big flamethrower on it. Can also be used to scout behind enemy lines and reveal itself behind a bush-[[Creed|CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!]]

===[[Reaver Battle Titan]]===
Bigger than the Warhound so therefore causes more RAPE, this titan can wield an absolutely HUGE powerfist for fucking Wraithlords, Defilers, etc. It can also carry a massive hellfire missile launcher for triple lehzar cannons and even a fucking Gatling Blaster.

===[[Warlord Battle Titan]]===
It's really REALLY fucking big, one of the more common huge fucking titans that carry all the weapons you can imagine from megabolters to huge lazer and devastator cannons that should've been mounted on some kind of battleship. The Imperium seems to have almost as many of these as it has Reavers. Modified or custom built titans are known to exist such as the [[ANGRY MARINE]] TITAN with its HUGE chain fist, even moar massive Chain fist, oh and it launches Angry Marines and [[Land Raider]]s, fucking [[awesome]] rite? Now has an awesome new model.

===[[Imperator Battle Titan]]===
HOLY SHIT IT WEARS CASTLES!!! Over 9000 times bigger and heavier than a Warlord Titan and too many massive fucking guns to count. It needs a whole ship for itself to get around. Unfortunately the Imperium doesn't have a lot of 'em anymore since those [[chaos]] assholes stole the majority of 'em.. They said that it's the largest thing to walk on land, because anything larger would produce its own gravity well. Oddly enough, it mounts a Ryza-pattern Plasma Annihilator, yet most of these things were supposedly made on Mars. Then again, they might predate differing planetary patterns of weapon. There is a [http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Ordo_Sinister#.T_TbV5HhcYI|special detachment] of '''twelve''' Emperors that serve one purpose — '''SCARING THE SHIT OUT OF ANYONE THAT MIGHT THINK OF REBELLION AGAINST THE IMPERIUM'''. And <s>they FUCKING do.</s> considering the amount of planets and hell, even whole sectors, that regularly defect from the Imperium, their one-hat trick isn't as effective as most people would think.

TL;DR They're what would happen if Cherno Alpha was made by Mormons and grown to <s>twice</s> FIVE times its size

If you feel compelled to represent one of these monsters in a game, the best way to do so is to make the entire 6x4 (or whatever that translates to in metric units) board into the titan's back, load it up with massive fortifications, and fight a cityfight/planetary assault on it.

===Other Imperial Titan Classes===
While the Warhound, Reaver and Warlord are the most common Titan classes seen in the Imperium, at the time of the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy there were others. Some, such as the Eclipse, Nightgaunt and Nemesis were once just Warlord variants that FW decided to make new types. Others like the Carnivore and Komodo are entirely unique designs never before seen in fluff. Two are noteworthy. First is the Apocalypse Class, which is to the Imperator what the Imperator is to the Warlord and is the biggest Titan of all. Though there is no images of it, it would most likely be a skyscraper-sized monster that would make anything that saw it shit their pants. The other is the three-legged Punisher-class Titan, which was used during the War of the Beast.

===Castigator Titan===
''"By the Fell Gods and the destiny of warp, by the death of the False Emperor and the dying of the stars, we bring to you, Warmaster Abaddon, Beloved of Chaos, Despised of Man, this tribute. For now these last days are the final fires burning, the black flames that consume a galaxy, the storms of the warp that drown out life, the End Times and the dawn of a galaxy of Chaos. We swear fealty to the Gods of Chaos and their herald, Abaddon the Despoiler, with this tribute that it might strike fear into the followers of the Corpse-Emperor and that through it they may see the true face of death..."''
-The Castigator Titan, on itself

The '''Castigator-Class Autonomous Bipedal Weapons Platform''' is an [[Standard Template Construct|STC]] Titan believed to be the design all Imperial Titans are derived from (a claim supported by the Titan itself, which referred to all other Imperial Titans derisively as "pale imitations made by ignorant children"), and like everything else made during of the [[Dark Age of Technology]], it is to all other Titans what a [[Primarch]] is to a [[Space Marine]] by comparison (the Father of all human Titans). It was a towering giant of white and silver, with a faceless head except for its gleaming red eyes. Despite being far larger than any other Titan in existence (save the [[Gargant#Temple_Gargant|Temple Gargant]]) it proved to be far faster and agile (standing completely upright instead of hunched over like 40k titans) than its bulk would suggest thanks to its unique locomotion system, which featured synthetic muscles supplemented by an automatic repair system. Its weapons were no less advanced, consisting of a Titan Power Fist and a heavily modified rotary cannon of uncertain origin (it fired [[Daemons]]). (Some theorize that this was what inspired the Angry Marines to equip their Titans with Angry Marine Launchers and Land Raider Launchers, but nobody has the courage to confirm if this is the case.) Unlike any of the other Titans, it has no crew and is instead operated solely through the action of an [[Machine Spirit|artificial intelligence]].

- SPOILER -

This turned out to be a very big problem for the Imperium, as the AI in question was advanced enough to fall to Chaos and went so far as to make a pact with the Ruinous Powers, although the book is a bit ambiguous about that too as [[Grey Knights|Justicar Alaric]] claimed that it was a daemon that had found itself trapped inside the STC during the time the planet it was buried in was lost in the warp, and that it was in there so long it actually started to believe it was the AI. Only the efforts of an expeditionary force of Tech Guard and a single squad of Grey Knights were enough to destroy it, though fragments of its STC database was collected and stored by the Mechanicus shortly afterward to be reviewed at a later time.

==Orky Titans==

The [[Ork]]s use titans called Gargants, made out of scrap metal, wood, stolen stuff, and SHEER ORKINESS. They are supposedly effigies of the ork gods, but we all know the mek that built the first Gargant just wanted a bigger, killier thing than [[that guy|that other ork over there]].

Obviously, the Orks have no standard pattern of build, but Gargants are almost always <strike>humanoid</strike> Orkoid, wield over-sized guns, have a huge close combat weapon, and are insanely hard to take down (even compared to the other races' Titans!). The bigger ones usually move on treads, the smaller ones usually waddle. Either way, these things are slow. But who cares, because they have enough guns to blast the enemy apart, and enough other Gargants to box them in as well!
They have Power Fields, which are so finicky that they can't be repaired in battle, which sucks, but at least they have them.

Ironically, these are the most realistic titans in 40k. Unlike the rest of the titans, these either have massively proportioned feet or use treads to deal with the problem of sinking into the ground, and are very bottom heavy in order to avoid concentrating the weight of the machine on the thinnest part of the structure. If anything, the Orks should have the most impractical titan designs, not the least. Not really though, just the most low-tech solution.

[[Stompa|'''Stompa''':]]
The smallest Gargant type. While [[Games Workshop]] would like you to think otherwise, the Stompa is bigger than a Mega-Dred but smaller than the current "Stompa" model, which is presently a small Gargant (don't get all smart and technical, we know the irony there). They come in bunches, and have no shields whatsoever. Their main armament is usually a gatling gun or stolen tank cannon, and then a giant close combat weapon. They eat infantry, buildings, smaller Titans, and tanks for breakfast, but only in close combat.

[[Gargant|'''Gargant''':]]
Orky Titans roit an' proppa. They are more in line with the "Stompa" rules GW and Imperial Armor put out, plus a little extra. Lots of armor, lots of staying power, lots of [[dakka]] (but not enough). Usually has a better close-combat statline than any other Titan counterpart except the 'nids. Due to the utter lack of design consistency, the weaponry varies ''roughly'' from stolen Earthshaker cannons to giant gatling guns or massive [[meme|friggin' laser beams]], plus a gazillion other little guns so the Gargant can fire at everything at once. One configuration has so many guns on it that the ''entire crew'' cannot fire them at once. And they somehow generate Supa-rokkits out of thin air.

[[Gargant#Great Gargant|'''Great Gargant''':]] The Great Gargant in ''Space Marine: Epic'' was what is today simply called a Gargant, and was armed with a Mega-Kannon, a Super Lifta-Droppa and a ridiculous <s>trouser cannon</s> Belly Gun. The latter fired a giant iron ball which wrecked the hell out of anything short of another Titan and had rules allowing it to roll through multiple targets!

[[Gargant#Mega Gargant|'''Mega Gargant''':]]
Here the line between giant robot and moving fortress blur. Where the Great Gargant is like a skyscraper, this thing ''actually is'' a fortress on treads. With a population in excess of a small city, these machines are always moved on huge treads which can literally crush [[Baneblade]]s beneath them. Slab-sided and covered with gun nests and extra armor patches, this large block-like fortress is home to thousands upon thousands of grot riggers, running to and fro. Powered by salvaged space ship reactors or dangerous Ork-made engines of questionable physical legality, these gods of destruction have more guns and bigger guns than any other race will mount on a thing of equivalent size. And this is a ''small mountain.'' Bristling with turrets, artillery cannons, rocket bays, launch hangers for aerial craft, high-caliber gatling guns, flak turrets, lightning lasers, autocannons, and ONE GIANT MEGA-CANNON, each Mega Gargant is not just as tough as a block of titanium, it can evaporate you through sheer volume of shot. Also, it has the obligatory close combat weapon, which is something easy to move around (like a hammer, axe, or buzzsaw) because it will be so large that the Gargant just may not be able to move it much.

Like the Imperator, the Mega Gargant originated in ''Titan Legions'' where it had the dubious honour of having the most complicated rules of any model in the game, requiring the player keep track of dozens of '''Hit Locations''' (which could each be destroyed or the subject of a fire that could spread), the '''Krew''' (and there were different types of Krew), the '''Steam Counters''', the commander's '''Shoutin' Counters''' to actually make the Gargant do anything... ''and after all that,'' one was destroyed in a battle report where a Space Marine side with only a basic Warlord Titan won by 105 VPs to 5. This appears to have been about the time [[White Dwarf]] decided to switch to narrative, rather than blow-by-blow, battle reports to make bullshitting the results easier.

'''Not all Gargants are created equal! For other Gargant Variants, see the [[Gargant]]s page!'''

== Eldar Titans ==

[[Revenant Scout Titan|'''Revenant Titan''']]:

Well, yeah back to the Titan: It's the smallest Eldar Titan, and it's also the most useful Titan, as it/s both fast and agile, unlike some I could mention.

The Eldar field these war machines in pairs - they are piloted by Eldar twins with a strong psychic bond to enable a greater level of awareness and cohesion to the fighting unit. For a race who are dying out and don't breed much you'd think they'd figure out how to just network two titans together or just use the radio rather than building their doctrine around psychic twins but frankly the Eldar titans could only be more anime if they were powered by magic and could only be piloted by angsty teenagers.

These agile monsters are considered as scout Titans due to their speed and agility.

It's armed with [[Eldar_Laser_Weapons|a Pulsar]], which is pretty much made to tackle enemy Titans, like this [[Reaver_Battle_Titan|bitch]] here. It also has an Eldar Missile Launcher, a rapid firing missile launcher. And FINALLY, it has Sonic Lance, and it's a large flame template infantry killer, which even makes space marines look like pussies.

It also gets Titan Holofields, which works like reverse 4++ against hits (basically forcing your opponent to roll D6 for each hit and completely negating it on 1-3), which, mind you, stacks with cover saves your titan can get (by, say, hiding behind the building quarter its size, bonus points if it's a 3+ cover fortification), and in case you really want to make it even tougher your farseer may cast a Fortune on it - now you may wish your opponent good luck going through three successive 4+ saves to just touch this thing.

Well, short story, pretty much your basic, Eldar killing machine, and it's the SMALLEST of the Eldar Titans.

[[Phantom Battle Titan|'''Phantom Titan''']]:

The other titan available to the Eldar in IA11. Loaded up with all kinds of fun customizable toys. From the Phantom Pulsar which doubles the standard number of pulsar shots, the Heat Lance which turns titans to molten slag without too much difficulty, the Phantom D-Cannon which throws out an SD 10" pie plate at AP2 and does D3 STRUCTURE POINTS of damage, a power glaive which allows the phantom to take down pretty much any other titan in CC. And it's protected by the same bullshit holofields Revenant does, backed by AV13 and insane amount of hull points.

[[Warlock Titan|'''Warlock Titan''']]:

Old ''Epic'' rules included a Psyker version of the Phantom, armed with a big powerfist and a giant Psycannon. It has not been seen since then.

== Necron Titans ==

[[File:Tomb Stalker.jpg.jpg|800px|right|thumb|Only in 40k do centipedes eat Rhinos.]]

While no record of Titan-scale war machines exist in Imperial Archives, it should be duly noted that it is well within the reach of [[Necron]] technology to create them, and they most likely do exist. The only other race with knowledge on this matter would be the [[Eldar]], who we are sure have already purged the memories of such constructs from their minds to rid themselves of the PTSD.

While many fans speculate over what a Necron Titan would look like, most agree it would be a Necron version of the Iron Giant; i.e. an up-sized, unkillable Necron Lord with guns aplenty.

A machine suspected to be the Necron Titan looked like a worm. (Well, what would you expect from race that most time spends under the surface?) They are called Tomb Stalkers, and are strange beasties that walk and talk like monstrous creatures, but supposedly can take down Warhounds.

There are also the [[Æonic Orb]]s and the [[Tesseract Vault]]s.

They got advantage that Titans(or similar units) from other races doesn't have: they're more Resistant to [[Graviton weapon]]ry due to their technology that's advanced enough to ignores Laws of Physics(including Square Cube law among others)

Something that could perhaps be called a "Necron Titan" (or at least the closest they've been seen to have so far. It's more the size of a [[Wraithknight]] really) appeared in that old [[Necromunda]] comic Kal Jerico: Above & Beyond. It begins with Kal's mother [[Jena Orechiel]] basically abducting him from Necromunda's underhive and whisking him away from his life of gun-slinging bounty hunter shenanigans. She took him on a mission to the [[Space Hulk]] Kronos which had recently re-emerged from the Warp and where there supposedly rested a powerful alien weapon she wanted destroyed which, after a [[Grimdark|fun]] journey through the Space Hulk, turned out to be a giant Necron called The Setekh. Obviously the thing wakes up cranky and starts killing the shit out of Orechiel's retinue as well as the numerous [[Deathwatch]] Space Marines some asshole rival Inquisitor named Malva brought with him while taking zero damage from their attempts to fight back (at this point Orechiel comments that defeating it wouldn't be possible even with an entire Space Marine chapter behind them). The only ones to barely escape the hulk alive were Kal, his half-sister and his mother (oh, and her pet Kroot) who commandeered the Deathwatch ship and ordered it to perform [[Exterminatus]] on the Space Hulk which was heavily damaged by the ensuing barrage of cyclonic torpedoes and thrown back into the Warp. It's important to note this was before the changes to the Necron fluff so it's likely it [[Retcon|never even happened]]. A shame because fielding this thing in one's Necron army would probably be hilarious.

Another possibility of a Necron Titan happened during the Medusa V campaign where the Necron´s tried to awaken a huge Tomb Spyder like construction called a Crypt Stalker.
Unfortunately it got it´s ass handed to it by a bunch of Chaos Titans.
However since this is from a time where the Necrons was actually cool and the C´tans wasn´t reduced to overgrown Pokemon, it has likely been shelved alongside the Setekh.

== Bio-Titans ==

The tyranids equivalent of titans are predictably giant versions of other tyranids, following the style of the army in the same way the others do. As in they're giant monstrosities that will either run at you and eat your face off or wield guns that shoot things that do. Obviously, they fall under the Gargantuan Creature rules, rather than any superheavy rules. There are three kinds that currently have models, the relatively small [[Hierodule]], the flying [[Harridan]], and the FUCKHUEG [[Hierophant]]. Another exists, in the fluff, a couple more, one called the [[Dominatrix]], which has an Epic-scale model but [[What|no rules for it]]. There's also the even less tangible Hydraphant,which is either a misidentified Epic Hierophant,an altogether new titan or a Dominatrix without the synapse organism,depending on who you ask. Either way, the Hydraphant is the largest of the Tyranid bio-Titans. They are also, naturally, utterly impossible due to supporting huge heavy bodies on very thin spindly legs.

== Tau Titans ==

For much of the Tau's history, they never had Titans or any equivalent to them. This is worth mentioning here because they thought that the idea of any civilization that had the resources and technology to build something like a Titan would surely not be so absurd as to actually waste them in such an impractical manner by building one when creating numerous smaller war machines would be much more efficient. They laughed at the first humans to tell them of Titans, assuming that it was only Imperial propaganda to intimidate their enemies. Then the [[Damocles Crusade]] made them turn their blue skin several shades paler as they realized that [[Humanity Fuck Yeah|the gue'la were crazy enough to actually build them]].

They suffered horribly at the hands of Imperial titans, but for some time they still considered titans too impractical to be worth building. The Tau utterly failed to understand the kind of wars the Imperium gets into. When you're up against a [[Vraks|defensive line 12 miles deep]], or an ork hoard large enough to make Soviet Russia blush, what you need is not 20,000 of something cost effective, but something that can just destroy large swaths of the enemy as fast as possible. In this kind of, admitted uncommon (which is why titans are not commonly deployed) situations, winning strategic victories is far more important that the most efficient production practices. Building many smaller machines is useless if the one massive vehicle wins the important battles. Besides, the Imperium of man has such a powerful industrial base that they can (or at least could until they forget how) afford the cost of building multiple Titan sized units without even putting a dent in there more cost effective weapon production. To put another way, Destroyers may be more cost effective in many situations then a battleships, but sometimes you really need a Battleship.

So when the Tau faced off against the Titans they needed some ways to counter them. [[Manta]]s were in the same mass class as titans, and had big enough railguns to threaten them, and while almost invulnerable to most titan class weapons (since they aren't designed against flying targets, even ones big enough to be mistaken for real estate) they were too vulnerable to massed anti-tank weaponry (like lascannons) in turn, and a bit too valuable to lose cavalierly. So they ended up manufacturing a version of the [[Tiger Shark]] bomber equipped with Manta-scale railguns. For a time, it seemed to work at forcing the Imperium to be more careful about deploying titans against the Tau, since a single flight of bombers can rip up a formation of titans and replacements for those bombers can be (relatively) easy to manufacture compared to the titans it threatens. Unfortunately this does not make a lot of sense, since if you think about it the Titans void shields and ship-level thickness of adamantium armor and escorting massed anti-air support from the Mechanicus and Imperial Guard forces pretty much made them impervious to anything but GW's hard-on for making things difficult for the Imperium, so it's hard to imagine a situations where bombers alone can drive back a Titan, unless one of two things, or both are true. A: the armor on a titan is like a tank, and thinner on the top which is possible or B: The Tau are using World War 2 era "Lets make that city disapear" size bomber flights and assorted fighter support, only with more accurate targeting to really make every one of those bombs hit home. Funnily enough this is what actually happened in the real world, only replace "titan" with "battleship" and you have a perfect example for the dominance of modern naval combat, although with the introduction of anti-ship ballistic missiles such as the DF-21d and the high cost and maintenance is really stretching the relevancy and practicality of ships such as Aircraft Carriers.

However, due to the increasing number of Imperial Knights and Tyranid gargantuan creatures the Tau have been facing during their expansions, it has become clear that the tried and true method of spamming bombers and Mantas is no longer sufficient enough to properly take on these new threats (with the mantas being too valuable to risk mutual destruction with Knights equipped with dedicated anti-aircraft weaponry, and the bombers not being quick enough for rapid deployment against newly arriving war machines and also being vulnerable to anti-aircraft weaponry). In order to have a chance against these opponents, the Tau needed something that could go toe-to-toe with these towering monstrosities, or at least bombard them from long range while still being tough enough to withstand being a massive bullet magnet itself.

In a move that would have previously seemed foolhardy and wasteful to try, the Tau just said "Fuck it!" and decided to take a page from Pacific Rim, building their own Titan in order to fight everyone else's. The result was the KX-139 Ta'Unar Supremacy Armour, the first Titan-class battlesuit of its kind. While it still can't fight in melee very well, it does have two Twin-Linked burst cannons and smart missile systems, which it can fire on Overwatch with (at BS2, no less) to discourage enemy assault forces. For its arm weapons, it can equip either a slightly gimped multimelta (which more than overcompensates by being Heavy 5), for popping vehicles, TEQs, and monstrous creatures; or an ion cannon that can fire 6 shots at S7 AP3, or 3 shots at S9 AP2, both of which are superb for massacring heavy infantry. The back-mounted Pulse Ordnance Multi-Driver can fire either a Strength D AP2 Massive Blast with 72" range, or a S8 AP3 Apocalyptic Barrage(3) with Pinning and Ignores Cover with a range of 12-120". Defensively, it has a 2+/5++ save that improves to 4++ against shooting attacks, and it can sacrifice the invulnerable save for a turn to cut the number of wounds suffered from a "Deathblow" result on the Destroyer table in half, allowing it to withstand as much damage as it can dish out, especially since it's a Gargantuan Creature with 10 wounds. As you may have noticed, something that uses a multimelta as an arm weapon is so far from being a titan or knight that it isn't anywhere close to funny. A dreadnought at best.

== Fielding Titans ==

Unfortunately fielding a titan in a tabletop game will cause lots of [[RAGE]] and presents itself as a huge fire-magnet, so every fucking thing on the other side will try to shoot at it. Luckily it's got shields, so it can soak up a lot of damage. Should said titan 'get killed' it may take out the whole field (if its a small one), and all those units around it, enhancing its awesomeness. Too bad that, since you are forced to buy one from [[Forge World]], everyone who sees you with one will call you a rich noob who buys his way to victory. <s>(Anything larger than a Reaver has to be built from scratch.</s> NOT ANY MORE!! For the price of a mere £1240 you can now buy a warlord titan model from Forge World, sure it's a rip-off but who cares. It's an awesome model. If you want to make an accurately scaled miniature of an Imperator, it's actually easier to stand on the table while wearing a sign saying "Imperator Titan"- it's that big.) <s> AND, you have to play [[Apocalypse]] (or Escalation)[http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod2330053a] which [[rage|''SUCKS'']]</s> Lord of Wars permitted in normal games from 7th edition. But who cares? YOU HAVE A GIANT RAPE MACHINE OF DEATH!!!!! (If you really want to field a Titan and you are smart enough to realise that <s>apocalypse sucks</s>, you could always organize a game where it's 1 Titan vs an equal points number of normal stuff. Would be a weird, probably unbalanced but fluffy and fun game (Having witnessed a single Ork Gargant with crew take out an entire Imperial Guard regiment on table top, it's not as unbalanced as you think). Or just a titan showdown, possibly 1v1.)
DISREGARD EVERYTHING. FORGE WORLD JUST RELEASED A FULL BUNDLE OF LIKE 5 TITANS FOR THE COST OF ONE WARLORD TITANS. RIP APOCALYPSE. ALSO TITAN LEGION GAMES ARE NOW POSSIBLE WITHOUT BEING A DRUG LORD.

== EMERGENCY WARNING ==
Lukas the Trickster WAS able to troll them so hard that their owners and their dogs would rage quit instantly but, thanks to the 7th edition codex, he can't do that crazy shit anymore! His "The Last Laugh" special rule used to remove any model in base contact with him when he died, including Titans, but now functions only in a challenge, thankfully, meaning he can only threaten characters. His reign of terror is finished. (At least for Titans)

2A02:C7D:CA0:8500:492F:1B3B:703F:D7A5:

Homeworld of the Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus. A mining world reachable from [[Terra]] at sub-light speeds, it was mined out by the [[Age of Strife]] and stripped of the mining equipment by the Mechanicum of Mars. There was literally nothing left to do but organize into loose gangs and stab each other. Horus landed here, but didn't conquer the planet or fix it. As a youth, he discovered what would be the Talon of Horus on the advice of an old crone, pretty much the only other interesting thing that happened on this world and thus naturally not explored in the fluff. The Emperor found him while looking for recruits of good gene-stock, and the planet was left in anarchy to help train futures Legion aspirants.
