Hello!
Sci Fi Month has started and it's time to delve back into the world of giant mecha and cyberpunk!
So as the most arrogant race in 40K, it should come as little surprise that the Eldar got into the dick measuring competition with the perceived inferior races. But while human and ork titans are bulky and kind of slow, Eldar titans are much more graceful and quite fast for their size. They come primarily in three types, the quick Revenant Scount Titan that actually has a jump jets, the Phantom Titan and the Warlock Titan piloted by Farseer Soulstones.
Their Pulsars and Distortion Cannons are less about packing huge amounts of firepower but using accurate shots to deliver critical hits to the enemy. But they also have missile pods mounted with plasma warheads for crowd control. In terms of defence, Eldar titans use Holo Fields which don't absorb damange but displaces the titan so enemy shots miss entirely.
Interestingly, Eldar titans are usually piloted by twins or even triplets. The natural emotional bonds between siblings, the Eldar's latent psychic power and the accumulated experience from the Eldar Soulstones maintained in the wraithbone matrix combine to create a mastery of control few amongst even the Eldar could hope to achieve. So yeah, very cool giant mecha and an interesting departure from the traditional Walking Cathedrals. 👍 For Space Elf titan, I'll include all their ranged and melee weapons I know about including the Power Glaive.
Okay, next up is Rebecca from Edgerunners fame. So I haven't had a chance to get into the series yet but I know she's part of Lucy and David's crew in Night City and that she's the 'Wild Card'. Yeah, just looking at some of her anime shots I can tell Rebecca's kind of unhinged. 😅
But she's very loyal to the crew and apparently very lethal so you definitely want her backing you up. I'm also going to make Daisy II Rebecca's animal companion. I feel like she would dig Rebecca's kind of crazy and wants to get in on the fun. 😄
Okay, next up are Infested Kerrigan and the Star Wars Troopers. Stay tuned and live for the swarm!
