Revision as of 19:05, 16 May 2015
The backbone of the Adeptus Titanicus, the Warlord Battle Titan is the Imperium of Man's primary battle titan, undertaking the majority of the frontline combat action, it stands at approximately 40 metres tall (135 feet), and will be a enormously significant presence in any battle. It is a newer and more powerful model of Battle Titan than its smaller brother, the Reaver. It is crewed by a Princeps, Steersman, Moderati, and Sensori. Also comes with 1 techpriest, along with 4 Servitors manning the weapons.
Weaponry
The Warlord Battle Titan has four weapon mounts: two for the arms and two carapace weapons.
Possible arm mounted weapons are the Plasma Destructor, Quake Cannon, Volcano Cannon, Laser Blaster, Gatling Blaster, Melta Cannon and the Titan Powerfist.
Possible carapace mounted weapons are the Apocalypse Missile launcher, Vortex Missile, Vulcan Mega-Bolter, Plasma Blastgun, Inferno Gun and the Turbo-Laser Destructor
Chaos Warlord Titan
Just like all the other Titans, Chaos has its own spin on the Warlord Titan. In fact, it has four- one for each of the Dark Gods.
- Banelord-Class Titan: The most common of the Chaos Warlord Titans is devoted to Khorne and has two additional guns- one in its mouth and another on the tail that is attached to its back. On top of the guns normal Warlord Titans get, it can also equip a Havoc Missile Rack, a Hellstrike Cannon, and a Doomfist.
- Warplord-Class Titan: Not much is known about these, except that they're dedicated to Tzeentch.
- Plaguelord-Class Titan: We don't know much about the Warlord Titans dedicated to Nurgle either, other than that they exist.
- Painlord-Class Titan: No fluff on Slaanesh's dedicated Warlords either. You'd think GW wasn't putting effort into this.
Forge World wants a word with you...
As for April 2015, Forge World, our favourite "sell your liver to buy our AWESOME products" company has decided (apparently) to show what seems to be like an old pattern of the Warlord-class Titan (read: Old-school 80's Epic pattern. Compare:[1])with some added designs from the Imperial Knight for good measure. It will be in their next Horus Heresy Book: Tempest but probably there will be rules to play it in "regular" 40k games, like they did with the Sicaran Battle Tank, Fellblade or the Fire Raptor. It's up to the reader to decide what to think about it.

Although as ridiculous as it is to own a Reaver Titan, nevermind deploy one into the tabletop, anyone who has the cash to buy a Warlord would probably be better off using that money on something they can actually use, like a new car, because the odds of finding someone stupid enough to go up against a Warlord are roughly equal to that of the Traitor Legions renouncing the Dark Gods and returning to the light of the Emperor. However, it's possible a group of friends or perhaps entire gaming clubs could put money together to buý one together, which is probably the only way to make buying one reasonable.
The price has been rumoured to be £1, 240, or about as expensive as a used car in good condition or a few months of gas.
