==Overview== [[File:March of the Titans.jpg|350px|right|thumb|Nothing more grand and [[Awesome|awesome]] than seeing a military parade conducted only by giant walking death machines.]] In comparison to Battle Titans of all classes, the Imperators and Warmongers are rare with most Titan Legions only able to field three or four in a campaign (and even that is rare in the present day of 40k, with at least one legion having lost their Imperators entirely and never gained new ones). Captained by only the most battle-hardened and elite of Princeps, its interior is large enough for it to serve as a mobile headquarters, with room for dozens of operators and serfs. Their crews are composed of the finest crew members from other Titans within the Legion. The Titan Legion's Grand Masters often use Imperator Titans as their mobile headquarters from where they can issue commands or lead vital assaults personally. Imperators are most often employed as vast mobile fortresses, strengthening vulnerable sectors of the Imperial battlelines or to act as a reserve force; it can also transport around a hundred [[Imperial Guard|Imperial Guardsmen]], several times that number of [[Skitarii]], or dozens of [[Space Marines]] in its lower legs for either close defence or to assault a shattered fortress. Although woe betides any poor sod that is not a posthuman, because they are going to get the ''mother of all motion sickness'' when this thing moves around. Free vomit bags for everyone I guess. The Emperor Battle Titan comes in two models: the standard 'Imperator' is an all-round assault and support vehicle, whereas the 'Warmonger' specializes in long-range fire support. The Imperator is commonly seen leading frontline Titan assaults, while the Warmonger rains artillery on the foe with its city-levelling firepower. It's unknown which variant was designed first as this knowledge has been lost down the long millennia of the Imperium's existence. However, it is well documented that both the Warmonger and Imperator Emperor Titans were both utilised extensively long before the outbreak of the galaxy-wide conflict of the Horus Heresy. Their only difference is in weaponry; the Imperator have shorter ranged weapons, while the Warmonger is armed with long-range artillery and missile platforms. A third Emperor with an aircraft carrier deck on its back was planned and showcased as part of the build-up to the release of ''Titan Legions'', but sadly ''Titan Legions'' was an overly complicated trainwreck of a system and the planned line of super-Titan variants was canned as soon as people stupid enough to buy a box containing more counters than ''Battle for Armageddon'' realized this. More can be read below.
