Emperor Titan

Hi. I'm a marine player and I have wanted to get a titan for a while. The only big thing standing in my way is the immense cost of the forgeworld titans. Anyway, I decided to build an Emperor Titan out of things I have around the house. Pics will be up as soon as I can figure out how to get a pic from my phone to the comp. Please note that I'm a teenager with a total budget of $70, since current situations prevent my parents from working (not going into detail). So, first of all, what I want is suggested weapons configs and whether or not it is practical to make an emperor titan. And 2nd, once I get pics up, I also want feedback on whether or not its OK (wont be painted as I am still unsure of what paints to use). Please, don't come here and say the emperor titan is overpowered/broken, blah blah blah. Its 4000 points and 6 of its weapons have a 36" minimum range. Shut up.

You'll rarely get to use it, it's too big to lug around, and it's likely to collapse under it's own weight if you build it from cardboard odds and ends (plasticard costs money and it's a big titan).


As suggested - warhounds are easy to build (lucius pattern is all flat surfaces), cheap enough to run in spearhead games, and quite frankly are still powerful enough that you might want to hold off on the turbolasers.

True, considering my emperor titan is mainly made up of bionicle pieces(I have a load of bionicle pieces, so it made sense[to me] to build a titan out of bionicle pieces) My bioniclized-emperor titan looks absolutely nothing like a real titan. If anything, I should probably wait for my dad to get a job and then buy from FW.
