Necron titans, ideas anybody?

[Evil Being 2]

What kind of stats would a necron titan have? who reckons GW should make necron titans cos it mentions things 'as ponderouse and inexcapable as death itself' . basicly post some ideas on how a necron titan should be.

Do they even exist?
I mean they already have the monoliths... are Titans even needed? I think they'd have bigger pyramid-like vehicles and that's it...
I mean what would they even look like!?

[Stubber]

Well it would probably look like a big monolith
(please god don't call it a neolith)
Maybe 6 structure points.
Longer range and higher power Gauss batteries.

[DeAd_cOmMaNdO]

im with GW on this - tau and necrons dont ahve titans. the closest thing tau have is the manta, and necrons MAY haev a large tomb spyder-type thing, though i doubt it would be any bigger than warhound-sized, if even that

[Dan296]

yea necrons dont need titans. i think the c'tan would just be pumping things out of an assembly line. though i can imagine a huge monolith with 2-3 layers of gauss flayers, and its power matrix could be used twice like teleporting twice, the big blast twice, or 1 and 1. that would be awsome.

[Torquemada Coteaz]

well the fact is,
necrons HAVE souls.
a titan would either be: a monolith thing, or a giant walking necron.

[DeAd_cOmMaNdO]

moch like a normal tomb spyder maintains tombs and the bodies of necrons while they lie in stasis, the gigantic tomb spyders could do the same with the necron ships, and, in times of war, used as battle machines (like normal tomb spyders, also)

Necrons arnt mass produced they were souls of the necrotyr implanted into mechanical bodies, what they have is what they are stuck with for eternity cos they never get destroyed.

[Perturabo]

I cant see the having titans-doesnt fit with the fluff (for me anyway).Maybe as said by other people larger/more heavily armed Monoliths or variations on the Pylon (perhaps a mobile version) for Titan/Super Heavy Killing because they are bloomin nasty!

yea i no but it was an assembly line. i no, i was there.

[Steellegioncpt]

No, dont have any. Necrons dont need any titans or anything like that they are too cheesy as is, so no....dont even develop that....

No... Just no.. No Necron titan.. The necrons just need to rust past the point of moving and die. Evil things get back up and shoot you in the ass! That's not right!

How about a giant 500ft Necron head called Tony's that have gauss eyes of magnificent green death? THAT would be beautiful

[timjonesiddqd]

ha ha ha... tony

But what niche would a Necron Titan fulfill in the army-why would they have one?They arent just gonna think "++HEY THAT IS COOL...WE MUST BUILD ONE++"

Well... necrons could very well have titan-ish units... don`t forget that they`re an ancient, buried race.

Simply put, necrons have lots of potential units it all depends on what GW decides to do with them.

Nobody ever said we (well, people in the 40k univers) know evrything about the Necrons, and we might be up for a few surprises

Now about the titan... it could simply be a bigger monolith, maybe one with mltiple particle whips... or something closer to a flying tower of death or a giant robot (from humanoid or insectoid) or a cool incarnation of another ctan

[Inquisitor Rosenadel]

Or perhaps the machines at the end of Matrix: Revolutions that try to down the Logos as it approaches the machine city. They were pretty cool...

[Dan296]

giant catapults of flaming shooty death!
but actually, reading rosendals thing in final hour about the void dragon waking, those kind of titans that the tech priest was piloting. just a smooth lined, tough thing like that. once the void dragon wakes, the imperiums titan will be necron titans anyway!

i`ve actualy seen this silly cartoon when i was little, and it was about this huge robot that came from... somewhere, and he kinda fell on his so he couldn`t remember his purpuse in 'live' (obviously something to do with destroying a certain race of humanoids ) but at a certain moment along the soty he realised he was full of weapons (the only one i remember is this really really BIG chest-mounted blueraythatgoesthrouweverythinggunofdeath )
Oh, and he could rebuild himself kinda like our beloved necrons
*he hugged a nuke and went BOOM and there were pices of him around the country/whatever that was, and all the little pieces started moving towards the bigger chuncks so they could reasemble the big fella

so, a 50x necron warrior-ish thing could really work

if that fails just give me a DarkSteel Colossus :x

I think I've seen that movie! It was pretty cool when I saw it. But it's waaaay to 1950's to be a Necron... That would be a good idea if there was a different shell.

[Perturabo]

The movie was Iron Giant. Based on the old Iron man story.

Thanks for the info, i`ll look for that movie

But what`s this you say about it being based on the old Iron Man story? could you give me more details?

[Dan296]

yea i like that movie =]
if they did make a necron titan, they could never give it the 'we'll be back!' ability.
youre thinking "finally! 3 structure points down! wait...what. WHAT!!! NOOOO....*dead*"

[Wakim]

Or it could be a cool varation of the spider bot from Supreme Commander
It just needs some Necrotyr nesign and it`s weapon changed to gauss stuff, but the main idea is there... a HUGE slowmoving spider of death that fires a continous ray of doom <3

Just as soon as i find a site to host pictures i`ll give you some links

Its called :The Iron Man: A Story in Five Nights.By Ted Hughes

I cant recomend it enough-I read it when I was young and I still love it.

Synopsis from Amazon.
"Hughes's classic about a huge iron man who struggles to put himself together after being smashed to pieces falling from a cliff, and then takes on a giant dragon in an unfair contest. It was first published in 1968 and has sold over a million copies since."

Scary eh! a book written in 1968 about a metal warrior who can regenerate after death and is involved with a fight against a dragon!Wonder if GW have a copy of this book?
