Post subject:  Psi Titan

Hey there, Just popping in for some advice and love from titan lovers. I'm considering adding a Divisio Telepathica Psi Titan into the Grey Knights list I am developing- probably as a 'friendly games' item. Please let me know what you think of the below! Warp Quake is a power in the grey knights list, but it functions in a similar way to the Devotional Bell. I have costed it as a reaver titan + Quake cannon + close combat weapon + bell (reaver +100).

Quote:
The Divisio Telepatica operates the extremely rare and highly valued Imperial Psi Titans. Sacrificing most of it's main armament, the Psi Titan is equippped with a gigantic carapace mounted Censorium dome. The dome contains numerous of the Imperium's most powerfull Sanctioned Psykers. Unlike the much smaller Censorium Domes mounted on Emperor Class titans the Psi titan'sdome has both defensive and offfensive capabilities; it's very construction seems to focus and amplify Warp energy. This makes the Psi titan an extemely potent weapon against enemies who field lots of psykers.

Psi Titans vary immensely in design. Some are dedicated psychic "beacons", some more like oridinary battle titans. Most are a mix somewhere in between. The most common variant Psi titan mounts a relatively small dome which houses a gigantic Psy-Cannon similar -but much bigger- to the those used by the Grey Knight Daemonhunters.

The Divisio Telepathica is believed to be secretly based somewhere within the Solar System similarly to the Grey Knights. When the Divisio is called to arms it is usually only in times of dire crisis and even then only a handfull of titans are ever deployed. It would be uncommon to find more than a single Psi titan fighting on any planet as these machines are so highly treasured that the loss of just one is a further step towards damnation of Mankind

Warp Quake
The Grey Knights cause a tremor on the border between the Warp and
Realspace, throwing teleport beams off course, silencing marker beacons
and destabilising landing thrusters.
Roll a d6 for each enemy unit that enters the board (via Landing, Planetfall,
Portal, Summoning, Teleport) within 15cm of a grey knights infantry unit. On
a roll of a 1, the formation that the unit belongs to receives a Blast Marker.

Model wise, I plan to create or collaborate to build head and weapon options to fit a Medium Walking Titan ;-)

Not so keen on how you've written warp quake... units within 15cm of a unit within 30cm get affected... why not just have all units within 45cm? Is the proximity to a GK unit tat necessary?

(also the range could be much higher if your GK detachment is spread out, 30+15+4/stand+unit coherency, ou potentially could cover the entire table!

i rather assume that the devotional bell is "has the warp quake rule, except range is 30cm instead of 15cm in this instance" not that it gives units within 30cm warp quake
although thats not actually what it says...

Warp quake rule there is provided for list context- provided as the rule is written in the grey knights army where that rule is used on grey knights infantry, has been borrowed for the titan, and i see what you mean! I need to reword that, then reword warp quake from 'a grey knights infantry unit' to 'a grey knights unit with the warp quake ability'. Its meant to confer the warp quake ability onto the titan itself, but with a 30cm range instead of 15cm.

you should probably remove the "grey knight" part entirely, and just say "a unit with warp quake" so it can be poached as need be by other lists (those necron pylons in cadia, for instance could use such a rule)

+3tk d3 attacks? A tad overpowered.

That's the standard AMTL close combat weapon stats

Good idea to include the Psi-Titan in the Grey Knight list! I’d stick it in the list properly, rather than just friendly game only.

However you’re doing it wrong! – a Psi-Titan is based not on a Reaver but a Warlord Titan body; with the dome taking up the space for both carapace weapons as well as the spaces that could be taken by banner poles or carapace multi-lasers. The head has what look like three guns (it'd actually make a great weapon head in general) but are probably actually psychic in nature.

Click here for a picture of the pieces. The gun could do with a little improving IMO, but the rest of the pieces are really nicely done and it has the latin edge writing like the grey knights have.

I’m going to be eBaying my Psi-Titan pieces once they get back to me from a trip across the Atlantic, though there might then be another way of getting hold of a copy also by then.

I'd also make it a standard part of the list.
I think it'd be fine to have both Reaver and Warlord psi titans as a reasonable extrapolation.

Post subject:  Re: Psi Titan

The old model traditionally is yeah, by that bit of fuff there are many variants, i think reavers hit the table more often given points, and i can think of a mighty fine base model to use ;-)

would be no reasnoable problem to re-stat a warlord too though (warlord uses both top weapon slots, reaver uses top and an arm) for dome and psycannon. however I'd probably have to replace the traditional warlord and reaver in the list instead of having 5 titans.
