I love the W40k universe. Its scale, its scope, its colossal nature. And you convey this beautifully.

The battle had been going well for the loyalist forces, with wave after wave of chaos tainted traitors falling before the guns of the Emperor's angel's of death. And yet for all the success the Ultramarine's were having, their Primarch couldn't help but feel as though there was something more to be had; some large plan.
Night had already fallen as Roboute Guillimann gazed upon the situation table inside his bunker, a ruined half collapsed and partially fortified building, which sat naught but 5 miles from the closest of the fighting. All around him fellow Ultramarine's and support staff buzzed; orders spoken through vox-caster to units in the field, servoskulls taking dictation from the quartermaster, the sound of metal being ground down as outside a techmarine repaired a damaged Razorback. Guillimann took it all in and then cast his eye back onto the table, where realtime data was being relayed by both his battlebarge in orbit, and by scout squads in the thick of the fighting.
Orbital recon was becoming harder to use, with massive banks of clouds having rolled in with the twilight hours earlier. The fact that his flagship could still send even the smallest amount of crucial data was a miracle that only the Emperor could have created, so Guillimann thought. He smiled as he did so, thinking about his father, who felt so betrayed by his most prized son. Guillimann remembered how the Emperor had reacted that day; watching the most powerful man in the galaxy, his father no less, practically fall to his knees in sadness and anger was a sobering experience. It was one Guillimann had vowed not to regret, and it was what drove him to ensure that all those he once called brothers would pay for their treachery.
The smile disappeared from Guillimann's face as one large red dot appeared on his tables display, followed by another, then a third. Close by, 8 blue dots symbolizing his forces from the 3rd company and their attached armored unit. "Brother Cerus," Guillimann said, pointing to but not looking at the young Astarte serving as his chief Vox officer, "get me in contact with these units. I want to know what these contacts are, now!" The younger Marine nodded quickly and worked his Vox, until he had the Sargent in charge of the detachment.
"Wait one milord, we're cresting the ridge now," the Sargent spoke, and on the nearby monitor Guillimann could see through the Sargent's helmcam. There was darkness, and then suddenly, flashes of lightning. No not lightning, lascannon fire; Guilliman watched as the Rhino in the lead burst into twisted metal and flame. Suddenly lights appeared, and before the men of the 3rd company stood an Emperor and two Warlord class titans, all belonging to the traitors. Lightning, actual lightning, hit the Emperor's void shields, causing them to pulse as it's leg mounted lascannon fired once, twice, thrice in a row. In front of the machine, another Rhino and a venerable Land Raider exploded. The Sargent and his men rushed forward to a tank stopper to find cover as several of their brothers crawled out of the damaged Land Raider, some on fire, other's without legs or arms. A Stormblade tank crested the ridge and took aim at the hulking monster, firing it's Plasma Blastgun at point blank, the superheated material bouncing off the titans voidshields with minimal effort.
"Brother Cerus, tell the Sargent to get as many battle-brothers out of there as he can and reform with the rest of the 3rd Company," Guilliman said, grabbing his sword up from its place aside the table on a munitions crate. "It is time to show these traitors why we are called the Angels of Death," Guilliman said, walking out of his bunker with 8 members of the 1st company in tow, their Tactical Dreadnought Armor marred and dirty, a testament to the already heavy fighting they had seen, and would yet see this night.
And NOW, you have a story to go with the picture Joazzz. Enjoy

With three Emperor-class Titans on the battlefield, it makes me remember the Red Alert Apocalypse Tank line "It is day of judgement" because this is a literal expression of that line; a day of judgement for those who reject the light of the Emperor of Man.

The other two are Warlord-class engines, though. And if one looks closer, there's an Ultima visible on the leftmost tank, so these titans are actually traitors.

I didn't notice the Ultramarines logo on the leftmost tank. Looks like the Ultramarines will needΒ back-up from a regiment of GuardsmenΒ with a pairΒ of Shadowswords to kill the traitor titans. Or any form of Loyalist Titan-killer vehicles.

Left most tank looks like a Shadowsword from this angle, but could be wrong.

The bumper sticker on its aft reads 'If you are reading this, you are dead!'

Holy, epically wondrous! This Radical War Monger Titan is stunning and The War Tanks looks incredible! The battlefield, designs, bubble orb, machinery, structure, lasers, cannons, guns, weaponry, smaller titans, terrain, laser lights, face, legs, arm cannons, sky, lightning, shadow play, gleam, glow, flames, haze, action, interactions, effects, movement, flow, perspective, realisticness, atmosphere, textures, hues, concept, composition, uniqueness, lighting, style, colors, and other details are also outstanding! Amazingly Retro-tastic work!

thanks. when i was applying the final touches someone actually pointed out how this looked like something from a 40's film so i added the lightning effects just to drive the retro feel a little bit further.

I like to imagine that thrill-seeking wealthy Imperial war tourists live in those.

The earth trembles beneath every step. For I have beheld death, manifested in the form of a mechanical god that has swept away all in it's wake.

if i could, i'd etch that into a plate of brass bolted onto the thing's leg.

i could've taken it further by adding some infantry here and there, but was lazy and just wanted to get the shot done.

We can say they ran away long ago, in search for more likely enemies.

I love the grey-scale in this. Looks like a shot of an old movie. "They Came of Terra!"

The most astounding motion picture to date, a sensational tale of terror!
yeah, by the time i was adding the lightning effects i couldn't shake the old school hollywood feel.

I love the truly gothic feel of this image.Β

thanks, i was trying to do the best i could with the lighting - or rather, the lack of it.

they had weapons to actually counter these? man...

Yep, some superheavy tanks (Shadowsword, Doomhamer, Stormblade and Falchion) are dedicated titan-killers. You just need few of them for one god-machine.

Well, I meant in the era of the horus heresy. I understand there's plenty in the 41st millenium.
π: 0 β©: 1
It is quite the opposite, there was plenty of everything in great crusade and horus heresy era, in M41 superheavies, titans and other things are very rare.

That's what I thought...so in fact, this was the norm during the heresy.

Reminds me of the climax to the Iron Giant.

Too bad a single nuke won't kill these bastards... Though there's a good chance they'd break at least /one/ layer of it's voidshield.
