Scarab Vs Warhound

An interesting mecha battle here. It would seem that the Warhound would have the advantage in this match. While the Scarab packs a nice punch, it has limited maneuverability.

How do you think this battle would play out?

No contest, one shot from the plasma blastgun and the Scarab would be a smoldering pile of metallic slag….

Scarabs are formidable but against the mere scout titans of the Imperium they are massively outgunned, out armored and are just plain short….

Tho wither this is an Imperium titan or a Chaos titan (as depicted) shouldn’t make too much of a difference depending on the level of chaotic taint….

If find it funny how the smallest and weakest of the known Titans, still outclasses the Scarab in both height and strength; and yet is as nimble as a Ballet dancer in comparison to the clumsy Covenant equivalent.

Even its shielding is somewhat formidable and a combination assault from its Plasma Blastgun and Vulcan Mega-Bolter would wither the opposition to super-heated scrap in short order. Although this seems somewhat excessive when a Warhound merely has to approach the Scarab and beat it into submission with its titanic fists of fury.

Warhound calls his big brother Warlord for a big time ROFLSTOMP!

Warhhound, no contest. I don’t play MGS but I just know that the scarab is weak in halo 3.

they both get beaten by nothing because you cant not be nothing when there is nothing to beat so nothing pwns all but second place would be the warhound : D

Also i would like to see a dual between eragon and a rider of pern.

Warhammer 40,000; more specifically a Warhound Scout Titan of one of the many Titan legions. This one is armed with a Vulcan Mega Bolter and a Plasma Blastgun (which seems “standard” for Warhounds)

The one depicted is a Chaos titan tributed to what appears to be Chaos Undivided (since there is no telltale sign of the major chaos gods being an influence save the sickly brown hinting at Nurgle), but plenty of Warhounds are Imperium-loyalists. Considering roughly half the Adeptus Mechanicis (and thus Titan Legions) turned traitor during the Horus Heresy it could be said that equal amounts of both remain.

Yup. The Warhound ROFLSTOMPS!!!!!!!!! The scarab down and half-crushes it and it cannot get up again.

Scarabs aren’t even that strong anyway so this shouldnt be to tough to beat at all for the warhound.

“This thread surely is swarming with W40k”

You may be right. There are very few things that can match 40K’s epicness. That means that you need to counter-flood the battle requests with non-40K stuff.

That, or get on the 40K Love Boat! *wink*

Which Scarab is it? The hunter piloted Digging pansy scarabs of Halo 3 or the super indestructible Attack scarab from halo 2? The H3 one i give 5 minutes while the h2 scarab may have a chance.

The warhound has two advantages, it’s got a slight edge in raw firepower and doesn’t sucumb to shock as easily as the scarab.

The scarab has slightly better balence than the warhound.

say what you will, but the AdMech knows their war machines.

You know, I so missed the super indestructible engine of death from Halo 2. When I saw the Halo 3 scarabs, I nearly cried.

There not super engines of death the scarab of halo 2 was meant orginally for mining which is why the plasma beam was more powerful in halo 2. The halo 3 ones were actually meant for war which is why it has better guns. The halo 2 scarab was bigger and could only be destroyed from the inside and could’nt be stunned thats it.
