that disappoints me. would be really good for a fan animation but something official its pretty depressing. Especially since all the voice lines I'm pretty sure where just cut from the DOW games
@@josbud1112 Yeah I thought it was a fan thing. But official? Damn they need to step it up on the voices. But at least it's actually animated.
@@josbud1112 for $5 a month im happy with this
Imagine trying to fight a machine that's 100x older than your entire species
Humans vs any other faction than Tau experience
And then they slap together an effective solution in 1/100th of a time the Imperium needs to build just one of those machines.
@@HubiKoshishame the technology knowledge to build it is lost........i think its better just to clone bunch of flesh bag and armed them with dozen of lasgun......
100x older, 100x bigger, 100x more experienced, 100x more intelligent, 100x more weapons . . . it's basically like an ant or bee trying to fight off someone in sealed armor. Fuck all they can do.
fuck. thats the most badass shit ive ever seen
Man, taking part in a battle in the 40k universe would be the most exciting 10 seconds of your life
That if you don't go deaf
@@J0hnHenrySNEEDen thats why you whear the headphones that reduce the power of deafening noises like the ones rolling out in modern armies (and by armies i mean the US army)

*Warlord Titan loses its void shields*
"Just because I've gotten weaker, doesn't mean you've gotten any stronger!"
Tau: shit shit shit shit shit!!!!! *flying around trying to avoid getting killed*
I got that reference
He has not lost his shields, they simply allow small or heavy objects, like other titans, through the force field, as well as anything that cannot harm the titan. In this case, the Tau had no chance of causing any harm to the titan
The tilting plates with the heraldry shields ACTUALLY TILTING to reveal point defence systems is such a brilliant addition
Too bad there's an animation mistake with the one in the background, the shields close instantly instead of slowly as with the foreground one
holy shit i had missed that . man this animation
I only noticed because you saw it!
Man that's good
Timestamp?
What do these weapons do? They look pretty slow firing and ineffective for point defense.
"'Titans are just Gue'la propaganda' they said! 'They don't exist' they said! 'Their technology is too primitive' they said!" - Last word of a Battlesuit pilot before being shot out of the sky.
To be honest, the argument was less about them being primitive and more on the line "why would you build the Death Star when you could use that budget for thousands of smaller ships so you don't see all of your resources blow up in your face at once?" Which makes sense, considering how damn expensive titans are even for the scale of the Imperium.
@@giacomoromano8842 but then you remember that this is 40k and that argument stops being valid
@@XD-sc4ix lol, true for literally everything within the Imperium.
@@giacomoromano8842 For the sheer size of the imperium's industry Titans aren't so much as too expensive to mass produce but actually just too complex. Much like Battleships, Titans take too long to build to deploy them without it being an absolute necessity, even more so if its one of the older and larger titans or Battleships.
@@old_kasr1155 The facts that Titan construction is soooooo fuckin' long due to all the prayers and ceremonies involved and they're basically hand made... well "hand made" by Mechanicus standards makes one of those things that's so cool yet also kind of pointless
Tau Battlesuits: "Surrender! We have you surrounded!"
Warlord Titan: "All I'm surrounded by is fear... *and dead xenos!"*
I thought these were Warlords. They look exactly like the Warlord on sale at Forgeworld
Edit: Originally the comment + Video Title said they were Imperial Knights, hence the confusion.
@@RockyX123 They look exactly like it because they are XD
Yeah they're probably a battle pair and one of them is like "hey dude i know they're weak af to us but I wanna troll them"
"Uuuhh fine what's your idea?"
"You wait behind the fog and when they're swarming me, ATTACK!"
"Alright Bob I'll do it but you gotta have pay the favour back somehow"
Great now we can fire in any direction.
"Silly xenos, just because we're surrounded don't mean we lose!"
I feel like trying to destroy a crisis suit with a volcano cannon is like trying to kill a fly with a 50cal
Think of how meany targets in single volley tho
Worth it
Yeah the animation is pure entertainment with no logic behind it, Crisis Battlesuits wouldn't even attack it that way.
That’s because it is
I feel sorry for whomever is going to get absolutely obliterated by the attempt though
Moderati: "My lord, we are surrounded by the xenos".
Princeps: "Good, now we can kill the bastards in any direction".
for real, now we can fire freely without wasting ammunition

@@JeanLucCaptain either they facing warlord titans or imperator titans
@@JeanLucCaptain the pacific rim machines would get 1tapped by titans wtf are you even on about bro lmao
You don't wanna see how titans make babies.
Isn't this actually a worst-case scenario for a titan in the same way as it would be for a modern tank: separated from infantry support and swarmed by agile enemy units? "In truth, a Titan has only three enemies: folly, hubris, and another of its own kind." Outrunning it's support would seem to be an example of hubris.
it could also be folly. but yes, canonically a titan can even be killed by a large enough volley of lasguns, and the reason that doesn't happen (except for extreme rare cases) is the titans don't work alone.
The titans have Leman Russ tanks with them
But those are all dead
@@matthiuskoenig3378 or the princeps go rogue and leave back their support like in hellsreach

@BaronObeefdip yes no, going rogue as in she wasn't with the rest of the maniple. She stayed back while basically everyone else left.
I love how those huge turbolaser on the shoulder of the first titan can't do anything against the various small targets surrounding it, while the second titan's "humble" mega bolters destroy all targets in no time.
Actually they are tir tubo laser
And thats an apocalypse missle launcher on thr second not a mega bolter
@@theepicspacemarine8684 they are actually is vulcan mega bolter。 look the weapon pod behind and front
I mean in game warlords can only wield the missle launchers or laser cannons so it would be a bit awkward if gw said a titan couldn't wield a weapon, then instructed animators to give them said weapon
@@theepicspacemarine8684 even in-game Warlords can get many carapace weapons - missile launchers, laser blasters, turbolaser destructors, even volkites as the newest tabletop addition.
You know you pissed off the imperium when they send not ONE but two warlord titans after you.
If they send three or more titans then you've royally pissed them off
Very impressive warlords and animation overall. Can imagine a pair of cheeky warhounds popping out with vulcan mega bolters and/or inferno cannons to give those suits a really bad time
Would've been cool if the warlord had one of those gigantic fists and swatted the tau warriors mid air like flies

Isnt that an imperial knight thing?
@@brok56 no warlords have their own called the Arioch Power Claw/Fist, which can have a mega bolter on the back of it optionally
@@traumma2729 that sounds like the most impractical thing ever, I fucking love it
You'd think a titan would have some kind of small target protection system considering we've had that tech for like 40 years
they need to chant and bless a power cell to stop it from deciding to become a Frag Grenade and titans by their battlefield stratagem are Seige breakers not AA smaller warhounds are soposto be providing screening
They usually Walk with "smaller" warhounds and knights to deal with this kind of annoyance.
Having built the Titanicus model, they do have a forward facing pair of heavy botlers on either side, but I don't know how much cover they'd give against flyers.
Pretty sure Titans are covered in PDS turrets and the like, just like Imperial warships, but the models and animation tend not to show them.
@@thatonigod Not to mention the fact that the Titan AI's are constantly trying to mindrape the pilot because, turns out, the STC pattern for Titans became its own demon.
My thoughts: "Hmm, it's a Warlord Titan but it only has single shot anti-titan weapons; That swarm of battlesuits *might* stand a chance."
"Nope, my bad; They're completely borked."
I love how at the end the first warlord titan bows to thanks the second one who came to help him.
When the Tau finally crack the Warlord Titan's void shields
Titan Legion: "There is another."
Railguns don't care about that lol
If Tau actually had something bigger than spacemarine analogue (XV8) than Warlord would get oneshotted with Railguns.
"look we finally downed the monsters shields!"
"!MY ARMOR IS METER THICK!!"
@@KossolaxtheForesworn only a meter? Railguns easily punch through that
@@ICantThinkOfAFunnyHandle tau railguns penetrate Imperial steel forged during the dark age of technology? only if they somehow adopt the orks power of imagination.
This clip is honestly a great representation of ‘Tau vs Imperium’ where this small force has to somehow contend with this massive war machine that views them as nothing more like insects and just when they think it’s over more arrives.
Especially when you consider that the Tau (other then farsight's guys I think) have no idea what the galaxy's worst really is. Think about the worlds Tau have, green landscape and mostly normal conditions. The humans live on death worlds and slums killing each other more then anyone else.
It’s missing the hammer head that gets a double headshot collateral on them with one shot haha
@@BrotherVoidBomber The funny thing is, the Farsight crew saw all that and were like, "Gawd damn, we better be nicer than these f*cks."
Wh40k universe in 40 seconds, this is not dumb star wars scene or a weaboo things, gothic war machine go brrr ahahhahahah
Well, dealing with these smaller threats is what we have scout titans and secondary weapons for, neither of which seem to be present here. This is basically unsupported artilery fighting infantry
What I love about this is the little details, you can clearly see they're aiming for the joints hoping to hit the weakpoints.
If they invested the tau on hyper manoeuvrability like the ornithopters from dune with their wings making use of the titan low velocity in order to reach out and sent detonations of antibunker explosions or extremely powerful corrosives on the joints the titan own power would fall on itself
@@a.r.h9919 The Tau did finally design supersized Battlesuits specifically for Titan-killing. The Tau are slowly becoming just as deranged and impractical as everyone else.
@@thebighurt2495 The key difference is that their Titan killers can be built significantly faster, and then broken down into a 'kit form' to be deployed when needed.
Watching that second Warlord appear outta the smoke was such a cool thing to watch in that episode. It see’s its sibling under attack and instantly goes to defend it. It’s great.
Princepts 2: Hey, I see you have mosquito problems.
Princepts 1: They don't really hurt, they're just annoying.
Princepts 2: I got you, I got my mosquito swatter in hand.
The fact that the tau in the opening actually showed physical panic/fear at seeing a god engine is a phenomenal way to start things off 👌
Well, before they got here, the Tau thought the Titans were IMperial Propaganda. Then they find out that they aren't
@@danielhaire6677 thats the fun part, if they were thought myth what else do the humans have.... wait till they see psi titans...
@@r25012501 Well, the Tau do have a poor track record for assessing what humanity is capable of. Remember that they deemed the Space Marines' capability for precision mass orbital drops into contested territory to be propaganda as well. Their prediction was...less than accurate.
So, Psi Titans would be another unwelcome and quickly lethal surprise.
Species known for engaging in long distance firefights and plinking matches buzzes around giant machines because reasons.
Excellent writing.
Games Workshop last minute trying to sell more of those Warlord Titan models
uhmm,... achkstually those are warlord titans :^)
They might sell better if they could actually perform well on the tabletop. Right now if you're an idiot who owns a Warlord Titan, the only opponent you can beat is another idiot with a Warlord Titan. I am saying this as an idiot who owns a Warlord Titan.
@@Mikazuchireborn How many organs do you still have?
@@nguyenten6877 Never said it was my organs.
@@nguyenten6877 You dont need to sell your kidneys to own a titan, i still have all MY organs and i have a warhound
There's nothing I love more than the sound design of the warlords Horn. Perfectly, captured here!
You mean the... pretty 08/15 War of the Worlds Tripod Horn? It's sad that you like this 4/10 scene. Well. I guess GW will understand soon enough that they just have to make you *feel good* to gain greater riches. Because you have no expectations, and no sense for quality.
@Das institut man who shot in your cereal this morning?
If I recall. There is a story or a Warlord Titan got a hold of a Chaos Marine. Brought it up to his massive horn and just let the marine have it. I don't care who you are. That Marine's body was turned to mush and the Titan crushing what remained was just adding insult to injury.
@@TurKlack I think its more the Reaper from Mass Effect, but I know what you mean
@@daspurekarnickel6206 Now that you mention it, yeah.
Mosquito 1: "Hey, shouldn't we just get between the head and shoulders where the guns can't reach us stay there and chip away at them?"
Mosquito 2: "Hell no! Fight fair, that's an order!"
This entire scene reinforces the idea of packing the right tools for the job. The missile banks and volcano cannon might be powerful as hell, but does fuck-all against smaller and more nimble targets. The mega bolters, on the other hand, do wonderfully.
Using a volcano cannon on a Tau battlesuit is just a tad overkill.
There is no such thing as overkill, if it killed, it’s the appropriate amount.
-Imperial thought of the day
Kinda accurate the machine spirit of the Titan literally nutted when firing those guns. It probably got itchy here and begged the pilots to fire it.
Like swatting flies with a twelve gauge.
When all you've got are hammers...
is a mercy kill
God, every time I see more of this animation, I wish more and more that they had stuck to speaking actual Tau

This is incredible. I’ve been hoping for more Titan animations and this is perfect. Great work
You may already know this, but this animation is not made by Janovich. This is a clip from the Warhammer+ show "The Exodite", just in case you wanna see more.
I actually imagine Crisis suits are a good counter to titans. They can fly, very maneuverable and have good firepower. It would be difficult to shoot one off your back.
Unless plot demands they just be idiots and fly around peppering its armor instead of landing on the damn thing to plant explosives
They should do that the tau, making the whole over the top power of a titan against itself basically death by a thousand cuts and a chain reaction to destroy the machine
@@thattigercat The main reason the T'au lose in battle is because of plot contrivance
@@thattigercat Crisis suits don't have hands. That's the problem.
@@thattigercat Tau are all about plot armor. It's the only reason they've managed to survive up to this point.
Me outside my house getting attacked by mosquitoes:
That first warlord might need the paint touched up, and the blueberries need to acctually move instead of float ominously
I'm glad we get to see some of that warlord action we saw in the trailer
You can see the difference between the Imperium and the Tau. Humans use firepower and brute force to try to take down the enemy by overwhelming it since they simply have the numbers and have been at war for 10000 years at this point, whereas the latter still uses tactics and trys to send it a nimble force to take down the titan's weak points (the joints) after taking out its shields.
I guess they graduated "the Hoth Military Academy of Attacking Big Things"
The Tau are like the only faction in Warhammer who isn't out to completely destroy humanity, and yet it seems like the Imperium hates them the most lmao.
Because they;re the one's being openly sneaky (yes I know it contradicts) about trying to seduce humans from the Imperium.
Who doesn't I mean they're basically space communists
@@adamsteele23 not super familiar with wh40k lore but aren't the Tau trying to turn all of humanity into a slave race or am i thinking of the Dark Eldar?
@@guyverdx94 Much like everything with 40k it depends on who's doing the writing. Using the Black Templars as an example some writers have them somewhat aetheistic...in that they don't worship the god-Emperor, while others have them as frothing zealots. Same applies to the Tau, but the thing is that they still developing as a 40k faction.
But currently yeah, they're willing to live alongside humanity...so long as they can control their numbers.
@@adamsteele23 oooh ok
That animation is an absolute offerings for the Emperor, and indirectly for chaos gods, just saing.
"Its guns are too big, it can't hit us."
Enter second Titan with anti-personnel/light vehicle weapons.
"Sh**."
Each and every single grain of gunpowder used in that battle is older than any one of those crisis suits
My gf: Hes just casually killing mosquitos
What me and the mosquitos see:
The way that second Titan appeared out of the smoke... beautiful!
And this is why titans carry secondary batteries. Always good to have a few backup heavy bolters
A second Warlord Titan! Hiding in the smoke behind the first one! Such tactical genius could only ever be done by .... CREEEED!
The moment when the second titan showed up was just epic.
Imagine what would happen if games workshop took their head out of their ass and embraced the fandom
It would be the animation equivlent of the Emperors dream come true
That will be when they don’t have a government to run to for protection because logically, it’s better to side with people who will keep you safe than it is to side with people who use violence to improve society

0:15 to 0:17 is a Dawn of war voiceline, right? I played the shit out of that game when I was little and still remember the superb voice acting every unit had.

@@karobot nope it's exactly the same
Lol it's always funny to see the tau be like oh man look at us we're so much more Superior than the imperium, and then a Titan just casually strolled along completely obliterates half of their attack squad with just a few shots of its light weapons
Blud really watched him evaporate several battlesuits and said “we can’t hold here”.
Yes, the Tau will absolutely send their flying battlesuits into close quarters against Warlords.
Although unironically, that may well have been their best choice in this particular circumstance.
agreed, if they could get close enough that the guns can't hit them, then the warlord probably wouldn't be able to defend itself. but then again, there is the second one backing it up,
@@halfknight2310 I kept thinking, "why don't they just land on it." Not only can it not remove them, the friendly titan wouldn't really be able to shoot them.
@@travisolexa3074 I found out why they couldn’t get close. the titans have void shields. The shields kill anything that gets too close.
Another thing, The tau were lucky those weren’t psy warlord titans. Otherwise those tau and eldar were fucked
I will just point out that my comment was entirely sarcastic in tone. This whole scene was ridiculous in the extreme. The Tau would not pull this kind of stunt, nor would the Imperium send some of their rarest, most powerful weapons in to fight alone. Titans ALWAYS move with loads of backup.
@@OneBiasedOpinion Yup, the animation is fun fireworks but 0 actual sense or logic behind it

All things considered, very impressive point defence from a war machine that's supposed to have an entire ARMY around to handle the small stuff. Then again, probably far from the only time a titan has outrun/outlived its support elements, so bonus point for the boys and girls on Mars for one scary symbol of mankind's superiority among the stars !
Me fighting the army of mosquitos in my room:
"At least they only have one of those!"

Warlord Titan 1: Get this f*cking buzzing outta my ear!
Warlord Titan 2: Ayo I got the bugspray
I feel like the titans weapons weren’t fitting for this battle,seeing as battle suits are very fast
Hand mounted big guns are not - their purpose is to turn cities into pile of rubble. Turrets on the shoulders - as we see they are perfectly capable of killing fast battlesuits in high amounts
@@markedforstrike I was kinda expecting more point defense. Like some storm bolter mini turrets (mini for Titan scale). Not sure Warlords have those though.
@@pirig-gal idk, I think they should. But maybe there was none on STC, so stormbolter turrets was considered technoheresy
@@pirig-gal Warlords can use mauler bolters and lascannons as point defense
@@markedforstrike they got point defenses, but seem like the animators didn't put
It’d be awsome to temporarily visit a war hammer world and watch a titan in battle from a safe distance of course
one problem, there is no safe distance
I love how the Tau's overall reaction to Titans was basically just "dude..."
Imagine you have to take on the city-sized machine that looks like gothic cathedral with legs full of AA guns and missiles, that's also 10 times as old as your antire civilisation.
And you have a jetpack.
‘Commander the humans have sent titans, shall we use our superior movability to avoid them?’
‘Nah’
I feel like the T’au could have approached this more intelligently, idk, ready some Ta’unar battlesuits to get the first shot in volley fire, or like engage with some Mantas and supporting aircraft. At least something with bigger guns than that 💀
If this was happening lore-accurately you wouldn't even see any Tau. All you would see is titans getting pierced by railgun shots coming from tens of kilometers away.
Titan looks at other titan, “hey, did you feel a mosquito bite? No? Me, either.”
ah yes, let's just stay in their direct line of fire
When the second one emerged from the smoke and ashes of the Tau's burning planet I was filled with awe. Masterfully done.
If I could offer one bit of constructive criticism it is that the video ends abruptly halfway through the sound of the titan walking. I think if the video went to black on the sound of the impact of a footfall it would end so very satisfyingly.
This is a clip from The Exodite, an official 40k animation, not a fan project.
@@marconarvaez9871 its was a fan made project that got absorbed by gw as per usual thankfully they actually gave the person a sizeable budget it seems
Just... Fly with some of the Krisis(?) Suits under the Head of the first Warlord, A blind Spot for the Canons of the Warlord I think, and give all the Dakka this Suits can give. Kills the Princeps, Out of the Fire from the 2.Warlord aaaaand enjoy one burning War Machine of the Empire of Man. Good ol' Girlfriend of Kitten had do once in the Damokles War something like that with a Imperial Knight. Stealth Mode on, Jump/Fly on the Knight and killed the Pilot in his Seat.
titans don't just see with their eyes you know, they have auspexes (sensor arrays*) all over their carapace.. some titan varients don't even have heads and instead have an additional weapons mount. these varients are described as 'common'. the heads are mainly used because they allow the primary crew and the rare mind-impluse-unit tech to be ejected in cases of catastrophic failure not because they are needed to see.
so nope, no blind spots to hide in, not from its carapace mounted point defense lascannons and heavy bolters. (which includes mounts below and above the head on the warlord).
also a warlord is not a knight, it doesn't just have a cramp pilot in a seat. it has a multistory armoured bridge. assuming you can get through its armour you might not even hit anything of importance.
*this includes radar, thermals imagers, echolocators, spectrographic sensors and electromagnetic detectors (and more unlisted sensors). they can get a target lock based on heat signatures, seismic activity, motor noise, communications signals. their audio sensors can aparently detech the hum of engines and even shields in a sandstorm. so no sneaking past it, atleast not this close to its auspexes. it will detect and target lock you unless you have sheer weight of numbers (like tyranid numbers) there is a reason the Tau had to develop super large weapons to deal with titans (and then use large numbers of ships armed with them, as a single ship would simply be targeted and destroyed too easily before it can deal with the titan)
case in point; this is why battleships need fast-boat support
Glorious God-Engines. Beautiful enough to activate my ocular lens oil distribution valve.
I love that the show is supposed to be having T’au take center stage, but these first two episodes have been them getting dunked on. By the DKoK no less.
Personal highlights are the SPR reference that ended the way it should, Titans, and the Kriegsman beating the “elite” Stealth trooper to death with a Trench club. Should have been a shovel but we can’t have everything, especially since we got so much
I believe it's the result of the creator selling out to GW...
only t'au fans could be so deluded to think that a show titled "Exodite" would be about the tau
Titans yes! One of my favorite things in 40k are the imperial titans. Imperium titans are terrifying to think about, even the most technologically degraded titan is an absolute menace to have to deal with. I'd imagine for enemy factions the fear goes deeper than just a massive death machine, they don't know how old it is, older it is higher chance of better technology. Sure that one warlord's shields failed and it's weapons couldn't break the fortress shields, but that other titan that's 5k years older shields barely wavered and a single salvo from it's energy weapon just obliterated the fortress lol. "Most want to be astartes, me, I want the imperator titan! Big badda boom!"
At 0:32 I am reminded of Grimaldus narrating in Helsreach, over the city's wall defences just before the walls are attacked. Helsreach moment: 0:32. Legendary.
There Is No Sky. There Is Only The Might Of The Emperor And His Chosen.
This is incredible, would have loved to have seen some "realistic camera angle" like in the 2014 Godzilla to really appreciate the size of this battle. Awesome work!!!
Technically these titans should be incredibly vulnerable like this with no infantry or ground vehicle support.
huh... i expected the tau battesuits to fly a bit faster. I mean, they use it's jetpacks to dodge incoming fire by darting away...
Also since they're battlesuits I'd expect them to be used like infantry they are. ie, land or stay on the blind spots. They feel like slow planes.
Cool setup but it is missing some motion
everybody gets nerfed the second imperial heroes show up. Everybody gets slower, stupider, and just lets the imperium blow them to pieces like a good little punching bag
@@kamerionsmith4551 Didn't the DOW3 trailer showed us knights running FAST and get cleaved apart even FASTER by an eldar wraithknight? Speed is good my friend, specially to show violence. The knight here could just wreck the battlesuits as they fly around him like flies.

Dude you didn't just call the Tau battlesuits mosquito army :I
Awesome animation as always.
You’re right, they’re gnats
Tau : We broke the shield! Attack!
Warlord titan : Shield's out? Now this is interesting.
Titans: "I only have to hit you once Dexnerds."
Neat! I like the Tau cuz it’s how got into Warhammer in the first place, but seeing them go up against Titans? 1 is bad, but 2 is immediate death.
I would also assume those volcano cannons don’t actually need to “hit” to kill something. The flash burn radius of something like those cannons would have to be insane.
I know with the shadowswords they have to make sure that the beam doesn’t pass over anything they don’t want to destroy and the warlords carry a more powerful version of the weapon
I'd imagine the higher elevation means it's easier to shoot over friendly targets.
“Remember pilots, fly at them from the front.”
When your homie finally shows up
Prime example why you never skip on point defence
duno why those warlords are alone normaly there should at least be some warhounds or even reavers (maybe even some knights) be around wich would have less of a problem to murk those tau.
This animation is amazing keep up the good work
Dang, that's impressive!
Very well done!
Fun fact, the adeptus Titanicus HATE the tau because they don't fight like "honorable" factions like the Imperium who simply try to overpower their enemies, or the eldar who try and fight with more grace then tact, or fight in swarms like the nids and orks. The tau know exactly where to hit every single vehicle in the 40k universe to disable or neutralize it with the least amount of effort and ammo spent. So sending a squad of like 20-30 crisis suits is extremely problematic for the Titan regardless of its incredibly awesome durability.
Fun Fact: the Collegia Titanica thinks about the Tau roughly once every never.
@@marinesinspace6253yeah because they don’t want send titans in tau territory anymore
@@nomus1172 bcs no one gives 2 shits about the tau
@@apathy251yes, because they feel shame that they are losing titans in fights against Tau xD
It's wild how impractical and useless a titan would actually be.
But damn is it cool.
Until Imperator Class Titan Show up and blast everything clean
@@accessdenied5998 Get shredded by Missiles from multiple dozens km away till the void shields are down and afterwards get oneshotted by single Tigershark railgun in the exposed cockpit.
They are weapons of mass destruction, and have a place. This animation forgets everything to do with logic behind the titans and tau and how they actually fight
The T'au had better be *really* glad they aren't enough of a threat for the Imperium to consider sending an Imperator-class titan. Makes Warlords look like happy puppies.
In current era lore, the Tau would probably be one of the worst targets to send it against. They've spent the past several centuries since meeting the Imperium, building battlesuits expressly designed to kill titans, and they're no joke either. Every other faction has their own assorted equivalents to titans too of course, but there's not really any area of space so densely packed with anti-titan capable forces as Tau space.
The Legio Titanicus already lost one of their Titans they sent during the Damocles crusade, to simple gunships. I wouldn't expect them to be very keen on blundering into another such embarrassment.
I love the subtle addition of the tripod sound from war of the worlds.
I thought for sure they were going to land or flyby attach explosives then ditch with the 2nd Warlord Titan just blasting through the upper section of the first to "purge the heretics" or whatever. Does no one in 40k still have plastic explosives (or just infantry plant-able explosives that you remotely trigger) I know we've got bigger, smarter, and more controlled but those never seem to get wheeled out when they're relevant.
THIS! This is what actual Tau that were written according to their own lore would do, but this is absolutely awful.
Id like to see a Taunar Supremacy Suit or a Stormsurge here (multiple ofc)
Maybe even a couple Riptides
Exactly my thoughts as well
