You make a number of excellent points regarding the slow death of the Titan Legions. However. You fail to account for one thing. For the last ten thousand years, Roboute Guilliman has been gradually builidng up his legions of Primaris Titans in the Ultrafactories of Ultramar and stockpiling them in techno-tombs with Stasis-frozen Princeps. They're like regular titans, except bigger, and twice as durable, with cooler weapons (which they can't change out) and some of them can fly or peirce the earth with their drills. Naturally.

@@baldermort Same situation here, I only just found out about your channel about 1 weeks ago, and a few days before that only just decided to look into the Warhammer 40k universe, with the thought of "you know what, I've heard so many things about 40k, from the games (most notably Space Marines and Deathwing from TheRussianBadger) to the vast lore to the memes (the Heresy meme video, I think you know which one).

We once scratch built to scale a Warlord Titan. So much PVC, plastic sheeting, so much modding! In an Armageddon scale battle our (4 of us) battle was called while we unboxed our stuff :( we even went to a bigger city. Titans are unbelievably MASSIVE! Even with more titans on the other side (measuring 5" tall...) they balked at our own 1. That is how scarey, how mean, how ... immeasurable one really is.
Seems like a perfect base for a world of tanks type game. Different classes of titans with different choice of factions with an immense amount of customization

Titan Moderati: Heresy in sight, Princeps!! Princeps: (slaps hand on the war horn activation rune, and keeps it pressed while he pumps fist up and down)
I think Titan construction isn’t quite fleshed out yet in the lore. It’ll probably get retconned at some point, because based on current lore the Mechanicus should not be able to manufacture Titans at all because it’s Dark Age technology. Especially the AI part. If they had an STC they’d be able to mass produce them, but they don’t, so they just “remember” how to make them. Yet they don’t “remember” how to make anything else? And there’s those crazy OP psyker Titans, which again begs the question of who really builds these things.
Soylent Green as far as I’ve heared Titans are the ONLY thing the Mechanicus actually builds and improves on. Not just copy paste it like an STC but actively improving it and changing it. There are even titans classes that have been invented by the Mechanicus themselves( I belive they invented the Reiver). The reason why they don’t mass produce em is because it’s a holy ritual that can take decades and also needs very specific, rare components. If even terminator armor cannot be mass produced titans can never be
The thing about the Mechanicus is that they don't deal in science but ritual. They do not know how AI is made they have a ritual for a titan core. They do not know how a shield generator might work they do know the ritual to make one that works on titans. So now you might ask why they still know about titans when everything else was forgotten? Because there was never a time when the titan forgets where not needed. There where grim times where the Techpriests forgot a lot. But they never forgot the basics, the meat of their craft: Lasguns, power-packs, titans and starship engines. But why then do they advance their titan designs? Because there is no oversight. Normally the Techpriests have a strict oversight in all their fields. Every hint of derivation is dealt with swiftly and brutally. Except the titans. For the titans are _complicated_ . At the one hand they are needed. At the other they have AI and break the law. So the solution? Don't check and don't tell. Just let the Margi do their thing.
Keine Angabe exactly. And this also ties in in Specific Titans being Built by specific forgeworlds. Take Ryza( i think Thats how its written.) they may use the Same STC for an Imperator class Titan as Mars. But they may Not have the Template for a Nova Cannon or their void Shield templates are damaged. They DO however have Access to the best plasma Based STCs in the Whole imperium. So instead of equipping their emperor Titan with a Nova cannon and lets say 10 void shield banks they Change the Equipment to something they Van actually produce, in this case a Macro plasma incinerator and a stronger Plasma Generator with More Output as well as 15 Weaker shield Banks That get Powered by it. Because as stated, they do this ritually. They BUILD their Gods. And so they will use any tech they have at their disposal to complete it, even if this means changing and Improving set designs as well as improvising Parts That are needed. Its literally of such high importance and priority to Build These machines if comissioned, That the Mechanicus will happily Break almost all rules and Doctrines laid down by the Cult mechanicus, simply because in their mind they´re Building something That Comes as close to their God as Possible. And that’s how the Mechanicus sees the commission of building a titan. Because either the emperor or the high lords or the Fabricator General commissioned those, which basically translates to „the messenger of our god ordered us to build this image of our god, thus we must complete this holy task by any means, and at any cost.“ And thats why the concept of Psy-titans exists for example. Because in some (albeit extreme) cases, even incorporating chaotic and xenos tech and thus committing tech heresy is worth the price of building a titan. And thus (and i cant stress this enough) ANY means necessary will be taken to build and complete a god machine. Even if it goes against holy tradition and forces the mechanicus to change, adapt and improve.
I always wondered what it would be like if i ate gravel instead of cheerios as a young man...... dammit i made the wrong choice with those whole grain delights, i could have been this majestic bastard.

@@baldermort that odd I really thought I read on my feed that u are moving and will be uploading less , but praise the silence king u are fine..almost hope u get better really fast battle brother the only in dead ends our serving to the tyrant Emperor XD
LOL. I think you are confusing me with a certain Border Prince? :) All good. He's much bigger than I am anyhow. Many thanks, brother. I hope to be able to get some more content out this week. Hoping the eyes and head clear up a bit. Be well brother and I hope your 2020 brings you everything you require. :)
After many, many, MANY repeats, All I can hope for is that, Emperor willing, there will one day be a Chaos Titans lore video, if only to see how the Dark Mechanicum would create/use them. Idea, maybe?
And then we've got chaos with the eternal "You've got something ? Well i've got it too but since mine is chaos it's possessed by demons so it's stronger and if you destroy it it can comeback because Chaos gods !"...damn the Endtimes made me hate chaos SO MUCH for how cheesy it can be !
Lord Baldermort, Keeper of Law. Superb story as always my lord. Titans are the single coolest thing in 40k. Might I ask, do you have a favourite Titan Legion? I've always liked Legio Crucius (the Warmongers) of Raisa.
Great video sir! I was thinking the siege of Vraks must have been horrific for the Titan legions. There were quite a few god machines destroyed on vraks, as I recall. Part of me has wondered if the machine spirit is not a well leaned and ancient AI (just renamed by the mechanicus. Though I know that's complete herresey 😊
These Behemoths, these Gods of War are what brought me to the Warhammer Universe as I love all things Big Stompy Robots. For me to simply calls these Magnificent Living Machines Robots though seems somehow wrong, wholly, woefully inaccurate and lacking. I can not wait to learn more of them and for you to be the one teaching, enlightening me as to what they well and truly are. This verse is vast and oh so much fun to learn about, think about and simply revel in all of it's strangeness. It's so harsh and dark yet to me these Titans are a light, a flame that draws me. If I were to play this game I feel it would only be as a Titan, the machine spirit itself...
Look xenos..we are incompetennnnnt.. "moments later" the entire ridge collapses from our planted charges and the eldar thing loses it's footing..as I planned o_o
What is that short story called or is is part of a collection or codex? I adore your work and I am grateful to have found your channel recently, you do Warhammer a great honor, keep up the excellent work my friend
Thank you for the very generous feedback, brother. Alas, the short stories, the flavour pieces, that start the more recent entries are all my own invention. I sincerely hope this is not too large a let down. They are my ham handed attempts to make the factions more accessible to newer fans of the setting. I like to try to give, what I think, is the heart of the faction. Direct quotes seem to be hard to gain for this purpose. They are either too brief, or too involved. Also, I never claim to own or have read all of the books. I simply don;t have the time or resources for that. So, I hope you can see this is just an attempt to enthuse the newbie and entertain the old hand. Nothing more. Many thanks for listening, brother. : )
Its a team effort. Honestly. We did this. We. : ) And we're going to get even better. There'll be mistakes along the way, but with the brotherhood behind this content, giving constructive guidance where needed, I feel we can do almost anything. : )
@@baldermort I don't even play Warhammer, it's the lore that gets me into it. And the community of content creators like yourself and other Warhammer-dedicated channels that keep me hooked. Speaking of which, are there any good books or audiobooks that you would recommend? If I may, perhaps creating playlists for ease of compartmentalizing topics of discussion? Could have a playlist based on the Imperium, another on Orks, another on Eldar, etc. Just to make things neater and easier to find. That is my humble recommendation to this channel.
Wow. Well, thank you brother. I never thought anyone who didn't play would be interested. An eye-opener. But there are amazing sites out there. Amazing ones. Have you listened to the Horus Heresy line? Ok, some are better than others, but for a consecutive immersive experience I'd do them one at a time. The style and content does vary, but its a road worth treading, well in my very limited opinion. I have made some play lists, but I will look at them again. Thank you, brother. Always grateful for any guidance. : )
*The Imperium of Mankind:* AIs are forbidden *Also The Imperium of mankind:* lets put an angry machine spirit into the largest weapon platform ever created.

Here's theory. These are not really titans - but regular power armours from Dark Age of Technology. Afterall, Astartes' power armour are agriculturlar work suits or something. :D
How anyone who likes 40k dislikes this is a greater mystery of life, up there with existentialism and that anthrax mailer who was never caught after 9/11.
Those are only the smallest ones. I intend to do another entry on the whoppers soon on a Wargear Wednesday. :) Well said though. Very well said brother Leeboy. :)

All jokes aside, I'd rather be a dark angel waiting for the day my primarch returns back to lead us once more. Oh and, hunt fallen when I'm free.
Mechs ftw!
Indeed. Not seen a good mecha anime in an age. They seem to be off vogue. Sigh. We'll just have to enjoy the Titans instead. :)
Thank you for listening, brother. :)

Heavy cold brother, but this will bug me all night. Armageddon? I have visions of |Grimaldis and can;t clarify through the cold. Help! :( Sorry brother.
@@baldermort Armageddon indeed
Thank you, sir. I did not respond, but your message let me sleep. I am so scatty. I wish I had a tardis to read more - let alone the re-reading I need to do due to the memory.
Thank you for a good night's sleep. :)
Titan Moderati: Heresy in sight, Princeps!!
Princeps: (slaps hand on the war horn activation rune, and keeps it pressed while he pumps fist up and down)
If they EVER make a space marine 2 youd BETTER be cast as one of the main characters
I think Titan construction isn’t quite fleshed out yet in the lore. It’ll probably get retconned at some point, because based on current lore the Mechanicus should not be able to manufacture Titans at all because it’s Dark Age technology. Especially the AI part. If they had an STC they’d be able to mass produce them, but they don’t, so they just “remember” how to make them. Yet they don’t “remember” how to make anything else? And there’s those crazy OP psyker Titans, which again begs the question of who really builds these things.
Aye, its a bit of a hot mess, that one. I think they may tidy it up soon, but sort of like the mystery too. :)
Soylent Green as far as I’ve heared Titans are the ONLY thing the Mechanicus actually builds and improves on. Not just copy paste it like an STC but actively improving it and changing it. There are even titans classes that have been invented by the Mechanicus themselves( I belive they invented the Reiver). The reason why they don’t mass produce em is because it’s a holy ritual that can take decades and also needs very specific, rare components. If even terminator armor cannot be mass produced titans can never be
The thing about the Mechanicus is that they don't deal in science but ritual.
They do not know how AI is made they have a ritual for a titan core.
They do not know how a shield generator might work they do know the ritual to make one that works on titans.
So now you might ask why they still know about titans when everything else was forgotten? Because there was never a time when the titan forgets where not needed. There where grim times where the Techpriests forgot a lot. But they never forgot the basics, the meat of their craft:
Lasguns, power-packs, titans and starship engines.
But why then do they advance their titan designs? Because there is no oversight. Normally the Techpriests have a strict oversight in all their fields. Every hint of derivation is dealt with swiftly and brutally.
Except the titans. For the titans are _complicated_ .
At the one hand they are needed. At the other they have AI and break the law.
So the solution? Don't check and don't tell. Just let the Margi do their thing.
Keine Angabe exactly. And this also ties in in Specific Titans being Built by specific forgeworlds. Take Ryza( i think Thats how its written.) they may use the Same STC for an Imperator class Titan as Mars. But they may Not have the Template for a Nova Cannon or their void Shield templates are damaged. They DO however have Access to the best plasma Based STCs in the Whole imperium. So instead of equipping their emperor Titan with a Nova cannon and lets say 10 void shield banks they Change the Equipment to something they Van actually produce, in this case a Macro plasma incinerator and a stronger Plasma Generator with More Output as well as 15 Weaker shield Banks That get Powered by it. Because as stated, they do this ritually. They BUILD their Gods. And so they will use any tech they have at their disposal to complete it, even if this means changing and Improving set designs as well as improvising Parts That are needed. Its literally of such high importance and priority to Build These machines if comissioned, That the Mechanicus will happily Break almost all rules and Doctrines laid down by the Cult mechanicus, simply because in their mind they´re Building something That Comes as close to their God as Possible. And that’s how the Mechanicus sees the commission of building a titan. Because either the emperor or the high lords or the Fabricator General commissioned those, which basically translates to „the messenger of our god ordered us to build this image of our god, thus we must complete this holy task by any means, and at any cost.“ And thats why the concept of Psy-titans exists for example. Because in some (albeit extreme) cases, even incorporating chaotic and xenos tech and thus committing tech heresy is worth the price of building a titan. And thus (and i cant stress this enough) ANY means necessary will be taken to build and complete a god machine. Even if it goes against holy tradition and forces the mechanicus to change, adapt and improve.
I always wondered what it would be like if i ate gravel instead of cheerios as a young man...... dammit i made the wrong choice with those whole grain delights, i could have been this majestic bastard.
You gaze at a mountain and the mountain flinches ..... Lol thats will
Oh wow man, have you done any voice work?
Been watching your videos like mad now that grandpapa nurgle has blessed us with the corona blight
Amazing video man, I can only hope you one day do a video on my machine of war, the Imperial Knight.
Nothing but love. Updoots forever Lord Baldermort!
Thank you, brother Popa. :) :)
I thought u would upload less since u moving and all but by the Kahn u are fast brother very fast indeed. Awedome video and cheers
Lol. I think you may be confusing me with another channel. NO movement here. Just a horrible cold again.
Thank you for listening, brother. It is appreciated. P:)
@@baldermort that odd I really thought I read on my feed that u are moving and will be uploading less , but praise the silence king u are fine..almost hope u get better really fast battle brother the only in dead ends our serving to the tyrant Emperor XD
LOL. I think you are confusing me with a certain Border Prince? :)
All good. He's much bigger than I am anyhow.
Many thanks, brother. I hope to be able to get some more content out this week. Hoping the eyes and head clear up a bit.
Be well brother and I hope your 2020 brings you everything you require. :)
Great video keen for more titan lore!!
Thank you, brother. I;ll try to get back to them as soon as I can. Still have more introductions to do. So many.
Many thanks for listening. :)
Loving your back catalog but I'm dreading the I've got through them all but loving it for now 😊
The infamous “mechanized beaver” is a pale shadow of these things.
David attenborough of warhammer, thanks man
this is tense story telling omg iam on the edge of my seat and its 141am
You do justice to the badassery and power of everything you thing
After many, many, MANY repeats, All I can hope for is that, Emperor willing, there will one day be a Chaos Titans lore video, if only to see how the Dark Mechanicum would create/use them. Idea, maybe?
i utterly loved this so much, thank you
Not sure how you're not the most popular 40k CZcamsr tbh
I barely make ends meet. Go figure.
And then we've got chaos with the eternal "You've got something ? Well i've got it too but since mine is chaos it's possessed by demons so it's stronger and if you destroy it it can comeback because Chaos gods !"...damn the Endtimes made me hate chaos SO MUCH for how cheesy it can be !
The humongous techo-Wraths of humanity unleashed
Lord Baldermort, Keeper of Law. Superb story as always my lord. Titans are the single coolest thing in 40k. Might I ask, do you have a favourite Titan Legion? I've always liked Legio Crucius (the Warmongers) of Raisa.
Not yet! I’ve never gotten into totanicus. Being a squad grunt type of guy. But I can see it happening when we entries for them on a grander scale. ;)
Try staring down a mountain and the mountain flinches XD
Yet again another Great Video.
racspartan1 thank you for listening and the kind comment. Thank you brother Spartan. :).
Wait till a titan shoves his power claw up nurgles face hahahahaha
I'm part way through reading mechanicum and this was fantastic!
This almost made me feel sorry for the poor adeptus regretica
id love a video explaining what exactly a machine spirit is in Baldermorts words :)
WhiteWolf Crossy I’ll get it on the list. Good point. :).
Know yourself, know you're enemy, know youre terrain. 100%
Real Good stuff :D
Lewton thank you, brother. Glad you like it. :).
Great video sir! I was thinking the siege of Vraks must have been horrific for the Titan legions. There were quite a few god machines destroyed on vraks, as I recall. Part of me has wondered if the machine spirit is not a well leaned and ancient AI (just renamed by the mechanicus. Though I know that's complete herresey 😊
Very good really enjoyed that
Great video, you never disappoint 😀.
Give it time..... :)
Thanks for listening, brother. :) :)
Love it, keep it up dude
Chris Coulson thank you brother Chris. Trying. :).
Thank you, as always, for listening. :).
These Behemoths, these Gods of War are what brought me to the Warhammer Universe as I love all things Big Stompy Robots. For me to simply calls these Magnificent Living Machines Robots though seems somehow wrong, wholly, woefully inaccurate and lacking. I can not wait to learn more of them and for you to be the one teaching, enlightening me as to what they well and truly are. This verse is vast and oh so much fun to learn about, think about and simply revel in all of it's strangeness. It's so harsh and dark yet to me these Titans are a light, a flame that draws me. If I were to play this game I feel it would only be as a Titan, the machine spirit itself...
Look xenos..we are incompetennnnnt.. "moments later" the entire ridge collapses from our planted charges and the eldar thing loses it's footing..as I planned o_o
Chill ass turtle hope you endure it brother. :).
Chill ass turtle hope you enjoyed it brother. :).

What is that short story called or is is part of a collection or codex? I adore your work and I am grateful to have found your channel recently, you do Warhammer a great honor, keep up the excellent work my friend
Thank you for the very generous feedback, brother. Alas, the short stories, the flavour pieces, that start the more recent entries are all my own invention. I sincerely hope this is not too large a let down. They are my ham handed attempts to make the factions more accessible to newer fans of the setting. I like to try to give, what I think, is the heart of the faction. Direct quotes seem to be hard to gain for this purpose. They are either too brief, or too involved. Also, I never claim to own or have read all of the books. I simply don;t have the time or resources for that. So, I hope you can see this is just an attempt to enthuse the newbie and entertain the old hand. Nothing more.
Many thanks for listening, brother. : )
I do not know what we did to deserve Baldemort but I accept regardless.
Its a team effort. Honestly. We did this. We. : )
And we're going to get even better. There'll be mistakes along the way, but with the brotherhood behind this content, giving constructive guidance where needed, I feel we can do almost anything. : )
@@baldermort
I don't even play Warhammer, it's the lore that gets me into it. And the community of content creators like yourself and other Warhammer-dedicated channels that keep me hooked. Speaking of which, are there any good books or audiobooks that you would recommend?
If I may, perhaps creating playlists for ease of compartmentalizing topics of discussion? Could have a playlist based on the Imperium, another on Orks, another on Eldar, etc. Just to make things neater and easier to find. That is my humble recommendation to this channel.
Wow. Well, thank you brother. I never thought anyone who didn't play would be interested. An eye-opener. But there are amazing sites out there. Amazing ones.
Have you listened to the Horus Heresy line? Ok, some are better than others, but for a consecutive immersive experience I'd do them one at a time. The style and content does vary, but its a road worth treading, well in my very limited opinion.
I have made some play lists, but I will look at them again. Thank you, brother. Always grateful for any guidance. : )
Awesome work mate
Thanks, boss. Any idea if we are getting Necron knights? Any grumble on the grapevine? :)
@@baldermort No nothing, only wishful thinking
Nuts. Sigh. One day. :)
*The Imperium of Mankind:* AIs are forbidden
*Also The Imperium of mankind:* lets put an angry machine spirit into the largest weapon platform ever created.
epic stuff ! stuff of dreams !
All is fun and games until a tank column gets vaporized in 2 shots
I will say one thing. At least they can still be produced, while slowly, it is still something in their favor.
I will make some time for fun. In the evening I'm GMing the final session of Chapter 2 of my Dark-Heresy-transitioned-to-WaG campaign, wish me luck, so that it's challenging enough, yet not deadly to the young acolytes!
Goooood luck!!!!!
Here's theory. These are not really titans - but regular power armours from Dark Age of Technology. Afterall, Astartes' power armour are agriculturlar work suits or something. :D
Basically the way GW attract MECHWARRIOR Players
Thanks!
This is the saddest story about giant robot I have ever seen. Next only to Iron Giant.
:'(
You really should write lore for GW.
They’ve got plenty of far more talented writers than I. :). I just make it sound good ish. :)
WH Is a good cautionary lesson for today.
I'm here for the pronunciation and vocabulary.
How anyone who likes 40k dislikes this is a greater mystery of life, up there with existentialism and that anthrax mailer who was never caught after 9/11.
laser sighted super flamers seems a good idea.
Hi Mister Baldermort, that story was AWWWEESOME! Thank you! 😍(❁´◡`❁)
some one at WG missed a 0 off the height of the titans. just walk out 14 meters and look how small it is even if it is just for a war hound
Those are only the smallest ones. I intend to do another entry on the whoppers soon on a Wargear Wednesday. :)
Well said though. Very well said brother Leeboy. :)
So much Badassary
Princeps are just mentally tougher than anything I know of bar the Grey Knights or Soul-forged psykers. Well, as far as I see things at the moment. It changes by the hour. There is so much depth this setting its maddening. :)
Thank you for listening, brother. :)
@@baldermort Clearly. I am not a big Titan fan, but you showed me there was much more to them that just a towering piece of hardware. Thanks brother.
You are more than welcome. Thank you for taking the time out to share your thoughts. :)
And do we have any solid info of the Psychic Awakening?
michael howell alas, my eye had come off the ball with the PA. grey knights seem pleased with their new tides. It’s looking hopeful rules wise. No idea lore wise yet. Hoping to look into it as soon as it drops. Can’t guarantee. But hoping. :).
Thanks for listening, brother Michael. :).
great one mort how about some imperial guard catachan plz?
James Thompson thank you brother James.
They are ok the list. But it’s intimidatingly long. If i haven’t done it in a month hit me again? I’ll try. :).
no rush brother mort also bloodpact (that one is a tough one i even have a hard time finding lore on them)
A challenge! I love it! As soon as I get the introductions out of the way. Do remind me, brother. My memory is not what it was. :)
10:25 twas an Imperial Knight a big stumpaa I looted Hahaha!!!
LOL!! :)
So Titans are actually Italians! Never knew they had it in em haha
Shadowswords though.....
Black library had had good luck going backwards and forwards,in story arch’s and spinoffs. I would like to see 50k;the humans starting to go forwards again. I got burned out on all the dark. It can still be dark,but there needs to be a sliver of hope.
