==OverviewHistory==The existence 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 Warmaster [[Cy-Carnivora]].{{fn|5d}} Its existence was a closely guarded secret by the [[Mechanicum]] until the late [[Horus Heresy]]{{fn|2a}}, with even the highest echelons of the [[Cult Mechanicus]] not openly speaking of its existenceit. {{fn|2b}} They were covertly seeded on certain [[Forge World]]s, 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 of in its wake. The first open use of Warmaster Titans came during the Heresy in the [[Schism of Mars]]. 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]].{{Fn|2}} The exact number of Warmaster Titans that existed prior to the Horus Heresy is unknown, but even the most prominent legions such as the [[Legio Gryphonicus]] were only able to field less than a half-dozen.{{Fn|55a}}

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]]{{Fn|5e}}, and two to the [[Legio Crucius]]{{Fn|5g}}. On [[Travo’anor]], it took the combined assets of four different Legios to field a handful of the war-engines against the [[Siege of Travo'anor|Traitor besiegers of Novavistra]].{{fn|2d}} Likewise, the Iconoclast was a rare sight, the [[Legio Krytos]] counting three (including one permanently stationed on [[Krytos]]).{{fn|8d}} ==Armament==The Warmaster Titan bristles with heavy armament, requiring a secondary reactor to power its many weapons systems.{{Fn|1}} The ancillary reactor can accommodate different systems, such as '''Plasmatic Locomotors''' to increase its moving speed or '''Infusive Supercoolant''' to facilitate reactor venting.{{Fn|3}} For protection, the God-Engine is equipped with seven [[Void Shield]] generators.

Despite being first mistaken as a retrofit of the Warmaster , the Iconoclast Heavy Battle Titans are melee focused differed in the nature of its machine-spirit, whose blood lust 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.{{fn|8a}} The Warmaster Iconoclast Titans that charge into battle.
