THIS;
is the Imperator, and shows the difference in scale.
I only occasionally dip my toe into warhammer but did play 40k a while back. I've always liked the sort of psudo-plausability about it yes its crazy and over the top but all of that crazy makes sense in context.
One thing strikes me about the Imperator though, what the hell does it use the chain sword arm for? That thing could cut its way through a mountain. Surely when you get up to that kind of scale you are picking fights with ships (a la Battle fleet Gothic) as well? Guns are just a better option.
Is it bad that this is the only thing I have ever seen related to 40k that I have had trouble buying into?
That is great. Also, I agree. There is a list of Mechs from BattleTech/MechWarrior/MechAssault that I liked. Hopefully the new MechWarrior game comes out soon. Have you seen the teaser for it?The Madman said:

The prawn walker from District 9 is supremely awesome but it's barely 10 feet tall, I don't think it qualifies as a giant mech, more of an cyber-armor ...like the equally awesome JMSDF type 303 chickenwalker from Ghost in the Shell.
Among proper giant robots it's a toss up between the Guren from Code Geass for melting it's opponents and the Teiring from Visions of Escaflowne for turning into a jet but fighting with its claws.
What can I say, I have a soft spot for the bloodthirsty ones.
Out of the veritechs I'd have to pick the VF-19 Excalibur; not as advanced as the Messiah but a big step up from the Valkyrie and so much prettier than either.

Of course I've seen it, looks solid too, although not having heard anything about the game since its announcement has left me more than a little curious as to whether or not it'll ever actually happen. Doesn't bother me too much however since, during the giant wait between Mechwarrior games, fans have since created a couple of different options to enjoy.RUINER ACTUAL said:
Personally I'm a big fan of the Mechwarrior: Living Legends mod. Damned solid experience so far, and its still only in the early beta stages. Given time and continued efforts and it could easily become the multiplayer Mechwarrior experience. Already I find it better than the game for which its a mod, Crysis, go figure!

I imagine it would go down something like this:John Funk said:Eastern mechs are Bruce Lee. Quick and lethal. Who would school either of those guys in a fight.The Madman said:I like my Mechs like I like my action hero's, ugly gruff & tough. Western Mechs are the John Waynes and the Clint Eastwoods of the robot world. You're robots are more like pop stars and Twilight pretty boys.John Funk said:
Yeah, I went there!
Lookin pretty and doin fancy moves wont save ya when there's 100 tons worth of weaponry pointed your way. Hokey techniques and flashy weapons are no substitute for a ton of firepower at your side!

Bruce Lee just has ten of them. (Skip to 1:50)
Is that game very old? And by that, I mean, can I buy it in stores? Or do I have to hunt it down on some shady website on the internet to download it? Or is it avaliable on Steam?The Madman said:
Wing Gundam. I grew up watching this one kick butt! Still my favorite.

Every single thing picture here would fall over if it fired any of it's weapons. That's if it even managed to make it to the battlefield in the first place.
