I've never seen one (but would love to if there is one).  Its well descibed though in "Inquisitor" (titled "Draco" in second release). They are positioned next to the "Column of Glory"-a column half a kilometer high made from the armour suits of White Scar and Imperial Fist Marines that died defending the Palace during the Battle for Terra.  The bodies of the heroic fallen remain inside... "Two immense Titans, embodiments of the Machine-God, flanked the great archway that led onward, serving as columns, one blood-red, one purple.  High over the archway, in obsidian, the wide double-headed eagle of the Imperium was mounted.  The giant carapace's of these giant fighting robots sustained golden mosaic roofing in which were buried the heavy macro-cannons and multilaunchers of the Titans, just as their great cleated feet were locked underfloor.  Purity seals and devout banners dangled everywhere. By each side of the archway sagged a powerfist which could seize and crush to liquid any unpermitted interloper.  The other jointed arm of each Titan terminated in a massive point defence laser. Inside the jutting armoured head of each Titan, rostas of warrior adepts from the Collegia Titanica had roosted on honour guard during thousands of years.  During those thousands of years those two Titans had stood as columns, immobile, statuesque, awing all who approached.  Yet in ultimate emergency their plasma generators could presumably power up rapidly from standby mode.  Enemrgy could flow through hydroplastics coupled to actuators.  The electrically motivated fibre bundles that serevd as muscles could tear their heaviest weapons free from the roof, bringing tonnes crashing down as a blockade.  The God-machines could wrench their feet free.  They could open fire devastatingly,  During overhauls throughout the millenia the appropriate maintenance litanies had been chanted faithfully." I thought that was cool enough to type out for you.  Enjoy! _________________ Tas My General blog: http://tasmancave.blogspot.com/ My VSF Blog: http://pauljamesog.blogspot.com/ My ECW Blog: http://declaresir.blogspot.com/

Reminds me of the awesoem Imperial Palace Gate diorama they have at GW HQ in Nottingham- the MASSIVE one with the big gates, 2 Titans etc etc and all the hite scars sallying forth on their bikes...kewl

I saw the pics on that, but never saw in real life. Again another good display of great modelling.


Of course it would be more impressive in Epic scale...soembody once worked out that in epic scale the gates to the Imperial place woudl be 30ft high  

Who was that? 30ft high? That seems rather large considering the size of the titans, Imperators included....
