I had an idea and made rules for a Tau Titan.
If Tau use Stealth Suits and then larger Crisis Suits and even larger Broadsides then why wouldn't they have even larger suits we havent see yet?
So heres some rules for a Battle Suit that can fight other Titans or atleast a BaneBlade.
TAU XVSH 508 GREAT WHITE
(Super Heavy Battle Suit)
PTS 550
WS BS S Front Side Rear W I A Sv 2 3 10 14 14 13 3 2 2 5+
ARMOR AND EQUIPMENT:
-The Great White comes with a Shield Generator a Multi tracker and Target lock built in plus special Drone Controller, which can control 6 Gun or Shield Drones. (Shield Drones add 60pts
-Special Character. Can only be used where special characters or detachments are allowed.
-Drones form their own unit and are programmed to protect the Great White at all cost.
WEAPONS:
-Do to the extremely large size and super heavy frame on the Great White Battle Suit, it can move and fire heavy weapons. It can also carry very strong weapons and more ammunition.
1Burst Cannon 18”Range STR 5 AP - Shoots 16 linked
2Missiles 36”Range STR 7 AP 4 Shoots 8 Heavy
3Two twin linked rail guns 72”Range STR10 AP 1 Shoots 2 Twin linked
(Rail Gun Submunition) 72”Range STR 6 AP 4 Shoots 1 Ordnance blast
DAMAGE:
-Once all Drones are destroyed then damage is taken from the Battle Suits wounds per its statistics. Armour save applies per each wound as normal.
-Once wounds reach 0 role on the vehicle Penetrating chart to see what happens to the Battle Suit.
MOVEMENT:
-The Great White can move and fire all weapons up to 12” in movement phase ignoring difficult terrain and can move another 6”in the assault phase, no shooting unless assaulted.
ASSAULTING:
-The Battle Suit has special Drones built into it’s suit that can fire all of it’s weapons in an assault. That’s correct the Battle Suit shoots if assaulted. Why the pilot controls the Battle Suit the built in Drones will automatically shoot the enemy troops for him if assaulted at there ballistic skill.(BS 2) If you assault the Battle Suit its Drones will shoot you.
-The Suit is too big and bulky to pursue after an assault and must hold it’s ground.
-If the Battle Suit assaults it attacks at its Strength 10+3D6. The Drones do not fire.
NOTE- Just like the Titan if the Great Whites feet in the movement phase touch any troops they would be crushed under foot. They must take their saving role. If they fail they die.
NOTE-The Great White is not tied up in an assault with troops do to its massive size.
NOTE-Infantry assaulting a Great White must pass a morale test, do to its massive size.
-If Morale test is failed they may not move into an assault that turn.
And a photo of it.
Notice the Drone at his feet for a size comparison.
