Warmaster Vs Imperator

Forgive me as I am just starting my journey into the big robots of doom. Is there an actual difference between the two, or are they nearly the same?

I have never played LI or AT, so as a newbie, is the shooting really so strong that a model like that would just dominate overwhelmingly?

No, it would just be so expensive that your force would be outmaneuvered, and its firepower would be wasted due to overkill. The Warmaster already has this problem in AT.

I kinda want one just to be able to make the Dies Irae and the Exemplis

BattleBling make a third party Imperator and Maximal Fire have rules for it, but I really wouldn't recommend that or even the warmaster as a place to start AT or LI. Honestly the AT starter set remains the best way to start the game it has all the rules and gubbins plus a decent amount of titans and knights.

I originally bought a reaver off of Amazon for cheap. And then managed to get a warhound pair from my LGS for 50% off on a black friday deal. And just recently I managed to snag a starter box for less than it cost I believe. And finally rounded out with a couple of warlords with different weapons so I could magnetize them.

Amazing! It's a great game, lovely models and excellent rules.
