marshall Egregorius Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 We all know that forgeworld has been planning something big. We got the cover of tempest leaked early on. Now we have this: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/FW/Events/whw-mars-warlord-bnr.jpg So basically a knight on mega steroids. Thoughts? I think it looks good, and that it will grow on me, but I do love the lucius pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffersonian000 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 It's an homage to the old Beetle-backs, for which I for one approve. SJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Bearclaw Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Still don't like it. I expected more from a Warlord Titan than what seems to boil down to a 3:1 Knight. They should have at least given it a different head, then it'd look sufficiently different (although classic Lucius would still have been better). It's kinda sad, I want to be excited, because a 40k scale Warlord is one of those 'I never thought I'd see' things, but this thing just leaves me cold.

Spaz431 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I'm down with the design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodusXIII Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I understand where the design is coming from, and it's very faithful to the Heresy-era chassis. I fall in a generation of 40K players that looks to the Lucius-pattern as the definitive Warlord, though, so I'll stick with my scratchbuild version. I'm very interested to see both a scale shot of the complete model, so I can tell how consistent or inconsistent my own will be. I'm also hungering for rules. Hopefully wide release of HH5 is just around the corner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffersonian000 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 The biggest issue with posters on forums is that they set their expectations too high, which almost always ends in disappointment. I, on the other hand, learn to lower my expectations to the point that most things either meet or exceed what I anticipate might happen. Makes life more enjoyable.

CommodusXIII Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Plan for the worst and you'll never be disappointed, only surprised or vindicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilofix Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I wonder if in 10 years time, they will have an Imperator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffersonian000 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I wonder if in 10 years time, they will have an Imperator?10 years? Try 10 months the rate they seem to be kicking out new stuff. SJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorthaur Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Just looks like a slightly different upscaled knight to me. It looks cool but the concept could have been way different had they wanted it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xwingt65 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 It is a stunning design, that fits in well with the other Mars Pattern stuff. If only if it wasn't 1000£ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Targetlock Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 need to see the final form, but like what i see so far :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skullz Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 A warlord titan needs something that is equal to it. So...I've got my moniker and I'll let that one just hang ;) Tbh I had hoped they drew more of the imperator elements in. It's a bit dull in a way since we've seen the primary design elements from the knights already as has been stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilofix Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Yeah I prefer the variant like Commodus is building but excited nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffersonian000 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I kinda want to add a second carapace weapon to my Crusader, now. Seems empty/Reaver-ish with just one. SJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I like Commodus' Titan because it probably didn't cost 1250 bucks/pounds/pesos whatever to make! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 it looks dreamy but that would probably turn into a nightmare...imagine the size of the resin pieces, and the probable warping of said parts and the amount of glue and pinning required to put it together... now when I look at it all I see is too much work ... LOL who am I kidding, of course i'd love one !!! *On a serious note though, the size and weight if made with their usual resin would make this a bit of a beast to work with Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 For anyone that's seen the actual pics, does it seem a little short to you? Maybe it's just the angles/pose, but for some reason it doesn't "loom" the way I figured it would. Maybe they should have put it alongside a Reaver/Warhound for scale instead of some random infantry model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mippie Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Dude, it's the size of a man's torso lol! The larger knights in the cabinet next to it don't look like they even reach it's waist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodusXIII Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Someone estimated its height at around 2 feet. Mine's pushing 3 feet, so it won't be as comparable as I'd hoped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffersonian000 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Warlords should only hit about 2 1/2 to 3 feet tall, with an Emperor pushing 4 feet. They ain't as big as people seem to think. SJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Yeah, you guys are probably right. Maybe it's just because it doesn't look how I pictured it. For me, it's always been the Titan on the cover of Titanicus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
