40K: Forgeworld – Eldar Phantom Titan Teaser (Pic)
HOLY MOLY! You’ve got to check out the latest teaser image from Forgeworld. The Eldar Phantom must be getting very close…
Ok, so follow that link for better pics. That thing is twice the height of the Revenant. By the old Epic stats, a Phantom, being a full sized main battle titan, should be the most powerful single unit Forgeworld has created as of yet. It should be able to handily defeat a Reaver in single combat. We’ll have to wait on the rules to see where they think it should sit on the power spectrum.
Via Forgeworld:
Each Phantom is the pinnacle of Eldar warcraft. Linked to a wraithbone core containing the living spirit of its previous pilots, the single crewman of each Phantom Titan, known as a Steersman, is an Exarch dedicated to this aspect of warfare. Locked in a trance-like state, the Steersman’s consciousness merges with the spirit-sentience of the Titan, enabling the mighty war machine to react and manoeuvre with astonishing speed.
The Phantom Titan is most commonly armed with at least one immense Phantom Pulsar, a long range and rapid-firing energy weapon far superior to anything sanctioned by the Adeptus Mechanicus. The Phantom’s other primary weapon is often a Phantom D-Cannon; much larger and more powerful than similar technology used by the Cobra or Warp Hunter, it tears a seething warp-rift in the fabric of reality to engulf and utterly destroy its foe. As well as these primary weapons, the Phantom is armed with shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft and anti-personnel missile launchers as well as an additional heavy weapon; usually a long-barrelled Star Cannon or Pulse Laser. Adeptus Mechanicus logis-engines also record other primary weapons systems that have been encountered in the long history of conflict between the Imperium and the Eldar.
~We’ve been waiting for a Games Workshop Phantom for a loooooooooooooooong time. This is gonna be good. Can someone get some smelling salts for Eldargal…
