In the distant Federation Era, there is actually the concept of Titan level ground unit.
The ground combat of Federation Era is somewhat similar to that of Necrons.
The mechanical wave formed by small combat machinery accompanied by medium and large combat machinery is enough to engulf everything, or combat machinery equipped with multiple destructive weapon devices can be directly deployed to cooperate with Orbital Strike to carry out a strong attack.
If normal combat methods don't work, then Men of Iron also has some unusual attack modes.
For example, use Nanorobots to engulf the entire Planet or simply destroy the Planet. In even more troublesome cases, it may even destroy the entire Star System.
Cold numbers and cost-effectiveness are everything Machine Body fights with, efficient and direct.
As for the redundant device Imperial Titan, its efficiency is far less than the accurate Orbital Strike.
However, due to the disintegration of Federation, there is only information about a three-legged self-propelled weapon platform and a bipedal self-propelled weapon platform in the Iax database. There is a natural sense of strangeness to the God-machines, which is somewhat similar to the Knight in terms of size, shape, and dual-purpose military and civilian uses.
Regarding the origin of Titan, Iax actually also made an analysis.
After the disintegration of Federation, a large number of Federation Planet fell into chaos, and many forces fought separately on the surface of Planet.
As it can be controlled purely manually and is the easiest to produce, STC Template has a huge reserve, and the largest equipment is only Knight.
People's awareness of the Machine Body army has not faded, and they have sufficient awareness of the lethality contained in the Knight, which once had a smart model.
It is likely that Knight will be used as the main weapon on the battlefields of various civil wars for a long time to come.
Planet, who is fighting with multiple forces, will inevitably be unable to build a space fleet.
So the large-scale modification and expansion design based on Knight began.
After all, building a battleship requires too many resources. And because of the Federation civil war, almost most of the giant production lines were destroyed in order to suppress the manufacturing speed of Men of Iron.
Without the giant Quantum Printing device, the time to build a battleship is much longer than the time to build a giant mecha.
Moreover, most of the Federation battleships are smart ships. With the departure of Men of Iron, almost all this information was taken away.
Giant Railgun and energy weapons relative to military equipment.
The only ones they can use are some defensive weapons carried on civilian ships, as well as the weapon modules that people used to modularize their ships in the Federation era.
After all, that era was faced with a variety of high-energy weapons and weapons of destruction every day. Many people began to miss cannons and gunpowder, and some people developed and produced live ammunition weapons such as giant cannons on their own, which were mounted on some common civilian ships as defense devices and toys.
Federation Citizenss are simulating the medieval Piratess in ancient history in space, just like a popular imitation game called Full-Armor Combats in ancient Terras.
Perhaps that is why a large number of Imperium naval battleships always seem to have some blood relationship with the ancient medieval sailing ships.
The Mechanicus Ship ships under Iax almost do not have that ancient ship structure. The multi-faceted firepower arrangement greatly reduces the dead spots for attack, and even the bottom of the ship is equipped with a weapon system.
Not to mention the huge 270-degree three-dimensional attack range of Titan Ship.
And human beings never lack imagination and action.
However, they must face a problem. After losing the support of Federation Era's systematic industry and various scientific and technological materials, they can no longer build those manned super war machines that were once hundreds of meters high and required hundreds of people to operate.
It is very likely that it was in those dark ages that people began to study how to make the Knight bigger, and found ways to move the civilian equipment carried on the expensive battleships that were once used for entertainment to these enlarged Knights.
They drew on their own existing technology and on the other hand, they drew on ancient mechanical components and wreckage.
Eventually a whole new arms race began.
Those lost worlds began to focus on building larger mechas and equipping their warships with more or heavier weapons.
When Emperor unified Milky Way, these magically modified mecha technologies from various worlds were gradually confiscated, and Adeptus Mechanicus re-designed them into a unified standard.
The most successful model among them is probably the Titan which was improved and renamed Emperor-class.
The caliber of weapons carried on Titan God-Machine is astonishing, and it is highly similar to the main guns of some civilian ships of Federation.
However, Iax cannot find its combat positioning at all for these pro, max, and pro max series of aircraft that are likely to be derived from the upgraded variants of Knight. It can only be said to be an alternative Federation afterglow.
Whether it is the Apocalypse Titan used before or the Punisher Titan manufactured later, it has a clear role.
The initial birth of the Apocalypse Titan was the Federation's first response plan to the Eldar Titans, which enhanced surface fire support and carried out a wide-range fire coverage strike against the Eldar from the conventional ground to the Titans.
Punisher Titan, which has not yet completed testing, is the final plan designed by Federation after seeing the huge unit and flexibility.
But the existence of the Imperial Titan Legion itself seems to be just a series of crude imitations.
A large amount of redundancy creates a sluggish machine that is inefficient.
Iax even feels that this thing is not as good as Orks's Gargant. At least Orks's war masterpiece is incomprehensible, but it has almost no redundant design, and many functions are unexpected.
"Rumble!"
A huge sound came from the air.
Red meteors streak across the sky of Lucius.
There was a Silence on the track monitoring station, and several Tech-Priest took over the equipment on the monitoring station and stared at the screen.
This visiting standard fleet did not carry any Titan.
However, this does not prevent Iax from being manufactured on-site through Industrial Ship.
Mechanicus Weaver The giant Quantum Printing Module used to print ships is extremely efficient and has a large range. The printing volume of producing an entire hull armor at one time is enough to print six Punisher Titans at the same time.
In order to ensure that efficiency is not wasted, Iax simply fills the entire printing range and completes one manufacturing with the minimum amount.
Six Punisher Titan were synchronously constructed and appeared in the structure below the Industrial Ship's hull.
The finished print of Punisher Titan wasn't even shipped.
With the help of several heavy-duty drones, the location was selected from space and then directly dragged to the surface.
In order to avoid destructive damage to the weak outer surface structure of Lucius.
Iax also used Transport Ship to build a gravity well above the landing point in advance that is usually used to tow the cargo hold.
Under a series of precise calculations.
Six Punisher Titan formed a circle in space, easily passed through the atmosphere of Lucius in a ring shape, and rushed diagonally into the range of the gravity well at an altitude of 10,000 meters above the earth with a precise attitude of less than 3 degrees.
The huge acceleration is quickly reduced under the action of the gravity well.
Then it completed the final deceleration at a height of less than 100 meters above the ground and successfully passed through the gravity well.
The moment Titan were out of range, Transport Ship simultaneously closed the gravity well.
"Boom!!"
With a muffled sound, six Titan landed only two hundred meters away from the wall.
The huge cloud of smoke covered his figure.
But the Voidwalkers and Titan captains have fallen into sluggishness.
Smoke and dust cannot block the scanning of Auspex.
Captain Warren of Emperor Titan relied on the high-precision Auspex array equipped with Titan to see those huge figures clearly.
On the surface, Fasor and other Priest were working hard to use their prosthetic eyes to figure out what was going on.
Valentin and other Sage, who had just arrived at the scene on a ground vehicle through the Hive City wall gate, looked at the huge smoke and dust with doubts.
