For everyone that likes Warhammer 40k Tabletop and Dawn of War Games or anything to do with Warhammer 40K.
Psi-titans are a specialized and rightly feared class of titan used by the Collegia titanica and developed in secret by the Ordo Sinister.
In place of usual titan configuration, a Psy-titan is equipped with "highly forbidden" Dark Age of Technology-era technology known as the Ciricrux Anima.
These Titan's are manned by damned Alpha-class psykers surgically bound to the cockpit and locked in place against their own will. They are in effect slaved to the Blank Perceptor-intendant, which serves as the princeps/commander of a Psi-titan. This unique setup allows a Psi-Titan to project psychic devastation and phenomena on a truly gargantuan scale.
Some of the psychic powers it can bring forth includes: being able to project massive waves of abject fear, psychokinesis, biomantic leeching of life and even temporal distortion.
However the most feared and dreaded ability of a Warlord Psi-Titan comes from its Sinistramanus Tenebrae, also known as a Psi-Cannon. This relic device allows it to focus the psychic antipathy of the bounded psykers, creating a massive Warp breach similar to that of a vortex weapon.
These titans are truly devastating but rare and are only deployed in the most desperate of situations. So far only 3 deployments or so of Psi-titans have been made. 2 during the Horus Heresy and one during the 13th black crusade.
The only encountered type of Psi-Titan are modified Warlords known as the Warlord sinister class. However other types of Psi-titans are speculated to exist.
Not going to lie, off all the f*ckawesome weapons in the 40K this things description genuinely scares me.
well this would be utterly useless against Necrons and Tyranids except for the warp breaching weapons.
Actually, Nids are very much psychically active, that's what their hive mind is based on. Tau on the other hand have no warp presence at all, so it would be less useful against them.
I thought the 'Nids were so psychically active that they tend to kill psykers with their warp shadow thing. Thus the Psi-Titan would be ineffective.
True, Their ability channel their own Psychic Presence is soo strong and cohesive that it creates the sooo called Shadow in the warp.
i kind of liked the Ordo Sinister better with their old lore of deploying 12 Imperators as an intimidation tactic, but the new fluff with the psychic power nightmare stuff makes more sense i suppose.
Imagine hooking up Magnus or The Emperor to one of these things.
