Hfran Morkai Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Ursus Claws please! And Psi Titans would be cool. I don't think I'll ever own 28mm scale Titans but would like to build some maniple mainly around Warhounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Yeah, Audax FTW! I also look forward for decal sheets of other Legios too...maybe with an expansion we might see the release of alternative weapons and decals... here’s to hoping!

Burni Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 So is much know about the Legio Sinister? Have any been depicted in artwork? I'm just curious about the colour scheme. I'm assuming it'll be like Grey Knights - you COULD paint them how you want but really they should be silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I think most of the community would appreciate a small release detailing numerous Legios for us to mix it up. Just colour schemes and a page of rules each. Maybe have about 8 or so for each faction. Only needs 16 pages ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dosjetka Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Agreed. A small handbook with plenty of pics and some blurbs of fluff would be fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I found this the other day when I was looking for colour schemes, a PDF someone has put together (I have no idea of the source sorry!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming it'll be like Grey Knights - you COULD paint them how you want but really they should be silver. Inferno mentions at least one Ordo Sinister titan in "deep green-black verdigris" with silver detailing but Forge World took the sneaky approach of having the the only modern images of Psi-Warlords appear all washed out/greyscale or otherwise indistinct... though that last figure looks slightly blue-ish on the screen.

Black Knight Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I just finished my first warlord last week, please tell me I wasn't the only one that looked at the leg pieces and realised I didn't have enough hands to dry fit the poses :S I don't think I have ever stood up to test fit poses with my own legs before. I am now waiting for a whole bunch of new magnets to arrive between now and Christmas... got to love that over land free shipping. I really didn't like the 5x1 magnet strength, I am going to try 5x2 to see if it feels better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Hahaha, you’re not the only one - posing was more of a challenge that I initially thought. And I almost messed it up anyway. :lol: So, what Legio? C’mon, make a blog and show us your work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I searched for a Legio by looking at the lore side and the one I settled on was Legio Ignatum but I am not sure on the colour scheme. So I need to take another look but I do like the blue/silver schemes and I would pick Sinister in a heart beat if I knew if they could field normal Warlords which I don't know. My wife and I are sharing the GM box so the first one I made is hers, she will be painting it. I will definitely update when I get my magnets and see if the bigger ones feel better. I did fit the right leg the wrong way but thankfully was able to pry it apart and fix it. Need to find something for it to step on now, anyone know of any scaled scenery I can cut up?. Also slightly annoyed that I cannot build the head fully until you paint the lenses to put inside the main part. But at least the shoulder plates can all be combined into a single assembly. Three days, dam you mold lines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burni Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Was on Dakka (I know...) just browsing around and posters where talking about some Necromunda bits that have been quietly discontinued and one poster says he treats all Specialist Games stuff as limited edition and just buys what he thinks he'll want on release, just to be safe. What do you veteran's think of this strategy? Should I get any extra card packs or command terminal packs I think I might need, asap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Given GW's trend of putting stuff OOP, I'd say yes (unfortunately). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yodhrin Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Hmm. I don't find that argument about Lucius pattern Titans very convincing. Sure, a version of the Lucius just using new armour plating based on the Mars chassis wouldn't look exactly the same as the classic versions, but you could get pretty close - closer than the resemblance between the classic Titans that inspired the Mars patterns we have today for sure. I think most folk who want Lucius pattern engines would be happier with a slightly differently-proportioned redesign over waiting - potentially indefinitely - for SGS to run out of other stuff to make to such an extent that they'd be prepared to put out an entirely new set of duplicate Titan kits. Of course they may not have to wait at all and SGS might miss out entirely - I've already seen a couple of people converting the Warlord using plasticard to construct the armour, and eventually a fan with the requisite skills is sure to make and share a 3D model of the armour parts for people to print.

It's a tricky thing. If SGW did take the route of new Lucius-pattern armour sprues rather than an entirely new set of titan kits, that's still only three more spures. In practice that would probably be three more boxes based around those sprues together with the Mars-pattern skeleton and weapons. Granted, at the moment that's nearly doubling the AT range/model SKUs but once we've got 2-3 more knight kits, some warlord weapons and odds and ends like legion-specific or chaotic upgrades, it could seem like less of a serious investment. I think it's going to depend on how long SGS/GW proper want to keep AT as a game with a one-track model range. If they're going to introduce orks/eldar, Lucius armour sprues/boxes could be a way of slipping in imperial releases in between gargants and such. That's a good point about the plasticard though. Folks can and are making perfectly acceptable Lucius titans using it because as a design it does lend itself to that material. Quite apart from the skeletons - and I agree that a new skeleton isn't vital - any FW version would have more detail and be more 'accessible' than plasticard/printed version but would not, I think, be shockingly better. EDIT: Come to think of it, the warlord weapons might be an issue for any Lucius pattern kit. The volcano cannons and missile launchers are pretty clearly Mars-pattern and making any future carapace weapons fit the hump of the (Epic Armageddon-style) Lucius warlord could be tricky.

Black Knight Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 There is always a chance that GW are just releasing stuff to keep the Copywrite current but the Titanicus release was so bombastic and with all the people they have recorded in the design team telling us of the design of the models, I would say its going to be around for a while. But yeah its just GW in general with their cloak and dagger until a week before release that really tries all of us. At the end of the day they sold a lot at the release, there will be more to come. Models will be around for ages as well as the command packs and cards as they go hand in hand. Now if you want to worry about anything it will be the Resin weapons packs of very obscure weapons, eg: Sinister Psi Weapons, that will probably be short lived. Black Library was doing the same and got a lot of flak for it but now at least they give us 3-4 months notice on releases, which I am very thankful of.

The volcano cannons and missile launchers are pretty clearly Mars-pattern and making any future carapace weapons fit the hump of the (Epic Armageddon-style) Lucius warlord could be tricky. There's a bunch of problems with it actually. First, they would have to do decide between doing them the classic way (which would mean full new kits for all three), or just doing some upgrade weapons and plates. After that, there would still be the problem of it "just" beeing alternatives to the already released big three, with almost zero rules differences. The only thing they could do would be to say Legio Astorum Titans need to be Lucius pattern in order to teleport into battle. In the end, ask yourself what you would like to see more - new titans and special characters or lucius pattern versions? Btw, I found a thread on reddit where someone posted his take on lucius engines for some game, including the files. Maybe someone could use these as base for 3D printer files? https://www.reddit.com/r/TTSWarhammer40k/comments/5gpa5q/titans_ive_got_some_here/ http://files.1337upload.net/warhound2-d98c35.jpg http://files.1337upload.net/titans2-94823e.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fajita Fan Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Has GW or FW every mentioned the models you see in the rulebook? There are Warlord plasma and carapace laser blasters, I wonder if those were 3D printed for photography, they’re zoomed way out so it’s hard to tell.

Burni Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 There’s rumoured to be a release of a campaign book based around Beta Garmon (Titandeath) alongside additional weapons at the end of the year or beginning of 2019. Weapons will probably be plastic with maybe some rarer ones in resin (warp missiles for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
