Warmaster Titan[5h]
The Warmaster Heavy Battle Titan is among the largest classes of Imperial Battle Titans.[1]
Contents
History
Secret records attest to the Warmaster Titan being in use millennia before the advent of the Imperium of Man, for instance in the wars against the Cy-Carnivora.[5d] Its existence was a closely guarded secret by the Mechanicum until the late Horus Heresy[2a], with even the highest echelons of the Cult Mechanicus not openly speaking of it.[2b] They were covertly seeded on certain Forge Worlds, kept slumbering and shrouded until a day its home planets very existence was at stake. On that day the Warmaster would stride out, annihilating all in its wake.[5a]
The first open use of Warmaster Titans came during the Heresy in the Schism of Mars[2c], when word spread of the forge-fanes of Phoenicis falling in a day to a wrathful god-engine, or of entire maniples destroyed by a single, towering giant of battle.[5a] In the opening phases of the battle the traitorous Legio Mortis revealed its hidden stock of Warmaster Titans, causing devastation to loyalist forces. The Legio Mortis had acquired a number of Warmasters due to its alliance with Kelbor-Hal, the treacherous Fabricator-General of Mars. However the Legio Mortis victory was so complete that word of the new Titan would not reach loyalist forces until the Siege of Terra.[2c]
The exact number of Warmaster Titans that existed prior to the Horus Heresy is unknown, but even the most prominent legions were only able to field less than a half-dozen, with only three confirmed to belong to the Legio Gryphonicus[5e], and two to the Legio Crucius.[5g] On Travo’anor, it took the combined assets of four different Legios to field a handful of the war-engines against the Traitor besiegers of Novavistra.[2d] Likewise, the Iconoclast (a melee-focussed variant of the Warmaster) was a rare sight, the Legio Krytos counting three (including one permanently stationed on Krytos).[8d]
Armament
The Warmaster Titan bristles with heavy armament, requiring a secondary reactor to power its many weapons systems.[1] The ancillary reactor can accommodate different systems, such as Plasmatic Locomotors to increase its moving speed or Infusive Supercoolant to facilitate reactor venting.[3] For protection, the God-Engine is equipped with seven Void Shield generators. Six servitor clades also mean that repairing damage is easier for the Warmaster’s princeps.[3]
Its weapons systems include two Suzerain-Class Plasma Destructors and Revelator Missile Battery for primary weapons[1][3], as well as four twin-linked Ardex-Defensor Autocannons, Missile Launchers, and twin-linked Lascannon mounts for lighter foes and aircraft. Its shoulders can also sport two support weapons including Melta Cannons, Plasma Blastguns, Inferno Guns, Vulcan Mega-Bolters, Apocalypse Missile Launchers, or Turbo-Laser Destructors.[3][5i]
Warmaster Iconoclast Titan
Warmaster Iconoclast Titan[6]
The Warmaster Iconoclast Heavy Battle Titan is a melee-focused variant of the Warmaster.[6] Despite being first mistaken as a retrofit of the Warmaster, the Iconoclast differed in the nature of its machine-spirit, whose bloodlust and savagery required the strongest of princeps to keep in check. Designed as a counter-measure to conventional siege fortifications, it would stride through void shields and unleash its fury in apocalyptic close-quarter combat.[8a]
The Warmaster Iconoclast Titan is armed with a Desolator Chainsword and either a set of Krius Siege Drills or Krius Grav Imploders. Its secondary weapons include Cruciator Gatling Arrays, shoulder-mounted Apocalypse Missile Launchers, Plasma Blastguns, or Melta Cannons.[6] Its ancillary reactor is modified to accommodate Void Shunts that increase its resistance to enemy firepower, or Kinetic Transducers that use the Titan’s very motions to power its armament.[7][8b][8f]
