But even this was insufficient to entirely protect them from the psychic forces at play, and so each Titan commander of the Ordo Sinister was a psychic Blank, an Untouchable, but selected it would seem on entirely different criteria from those who served within the Sisters of Silence or the Culexus Clade, and cybernetically augmented to allow for Human-machine interface. Set at the heart of the storm of these energies, the preceptor-intendant sat in a shielded command crucible in the Titan's head. This energy was controlled by a techno-arcane interface quite unlike that of a standard configuration Mind Impulse Unit, while much of the Psi-Titan's other functions were slaved to sub-automata systems and Machine Spirit homunculi (artificial intelligence routines). Rather than the the moderati that would normally help operate a Battle Titan, the Psi-Titans were instead crewed by what might be considered the damned - bound psykers surgically locked in place and slaved to the will of the preceptor-intendant who commanded the god-engine in place of a princeps.īy direct cortical control, the psychic power and life force of the bound psykers were siphoned off and focused by the arcane technologies of the Ciricrux Anima, the baleful device that truly made the Psi-Titan what it is. In place of the standard Titan configuration of Mind Impulse Units, it was this which controlled and empowered the Warlord-Sinister. For a Warlord-Sinister, fear is its constant companion, bleeding those around it of hope and joy with its very presence. A fusion of one of the mightiest god-engines of the Adeptus Titanicus with the weaponised power of numerous bound alpha-grade psykers, and commanded by a soulless Untouchable, a Warlord-Sinister was constructed with methods only the Emperor Himself could permit. The Warlord-Sinister Psi-Titan is ultimately a thing that should not be. It is a standard Warlord Titan that has been rebuilt around a psychic amplification matrix device called the Ciricrux Anima that was designed by the Emperor Himself during the Great Crusade using ancient technology.

The most potent of a Psi-Titan's weapons is the Sinistramanus Tenebrae, colloquially referred to as a " Psi-cannon." This device focuses the psychic suffering of the Titan's bound and cybernetically-linked psykers to rip open a massive Warp rift in realspace that is as destructive as a Vortex Weapons. The Ciricrux Anima allows a Psi-Titan to project its suffering internal psykers' powers externally, meaning that a Psi-Titan can unleash waves of abject fear, wield psychokinetic abilities, leech away the life forces of other combatants through biomancy, and even distort the flow of time to heal itself.
It is the role of the perceptor-intendant to control their psychic charge and prevent them from losing control of their abilities. They are in effect slaved to the Psi-Titan's commanding princeps who bears the title of "perceptor-intendant," and is always a psychic Blank. In place of a standard Titan weapon configuration, a Psi-Titan is equipped with highly forbidden psychic amplification technology dating back to the Dark Age of Technology known as the Ciricrux Anima which allows it to project psychic abilities out into the environment with increased potency and scale.Ī Psi-Titan is manned by damned Human psykers surgically wired into the war machine's heart and locked in place against their will. However, rumours persisted at the time of as to the existence of other prototypes and experimental patterns hidden even from the eyes of Imperium's high officials. The Warlord-Sinister was only seen in small numbers before the onset of the Horus Heresy.
Only one class of Psi-Titan is yet known to exist - a modified Warlord-class Titan called the Warlord-Sinister-class Titan. Psi-Titans are only deployed by the unique Titan Legion of the Collegia Titanica known as the Ordo Sinister.
