wildweasel Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 My notes from the Adeptus Titanicus WarhammerTV stream: Mostly reviewing the releases to date. Mentioned the Legio Gryphonicus transfers coming soon. People were panicking about the Warhound not being released cause it wasn't included in the initial model reviews. More maniples will be coming. Titandeath will have about 5 new maniples. Titandeath campaign - Beta-Garmmon near the end of the Heresy. Thousands of Titans committed. Far more Titans during the Great Crusade than during modern 40K as they were well suited to crushing planetary conquest. Worked together with Black Library establishing the background and events of Titandeath. BL tapped Guy Haley to write the HH novel, Specialist Games gave him the initial background and they had meetings back and forth for integration between the game background and novel. There's a primarch involved! Imperial Hunters and Nova Guard are the "star" Legios, wanted to focus on ones that existed in the background but hadn't been previously explored in depth. Imperial Hunters are an Artemis inspired hunter cult, all Princeps are women. Legio Krytos didn't have a Low Gothic name or color scheme - chose God Breakers cause they wanted something totally metal sounding. All the core book Narrative missions are from previously published background - no one has found where the ice planet scenario is from yet! Andy challenges people to find it. Titandeath first of planned/hoped campaign books. Inspired by HH black books but not as large - HH books are very time-consuming. More about 100 pages. Each focus on a conflict, new Legio rules, etc. Gryphonics, Godbreakers, Imperial Hunters, Nova Guard and others getting legio rules in Titandeath. Titandeath campaign system inspired by Planetary Empires campaign. 4 or 5 levels of crew skill, newbie to hard vets. Some books will have supporting model releases. "..an entire spectruum of Titans planned". Light Scout Titan below the Warhound! A Titan between the Warhound and Reaver, and one between the Reaver and Warlord. Part of a years long product plan. AT books can be used to expand setting, taking a passing reference and focusing on it. Going over why it's set in the HH again. Talking about "Adeptus Titanicus: The Beast Arises" as a way to explore that setting and introduce Orks. *NOT* a hard plan at this point, but just the ways they are leaving themselves to expand. Announcement on weapon packs "fairly soon/very soon just not quite ready yet". Ursus Claws will be done at some point, probably as resin. New person, Blake, just started with Specialist Games this week with his job being making AT upgrades. Part of the design goal with AT and Necromunda was making a game "as good as you remember it, not necessarily as it was." Showing off Legio Mortis decals. Holly Goodwin and Dominic Obager doing the color decals. Also include an affilated Knght Household. Malinax on Mortis sheet. Gryphonics has Vyroni. Future plans for Knights: will be adding more Knights, have ideas for some scenarios/Stratagems for Knight only battles. "20-30 Knights a side." "Andy wishlisting!" They want to do transfers for all the "main name" Legios, prob 1-2 every few months. Talking personal hobby projects, Andy working on his Titan maniple, either Furean or Fire Wasps. Andy collects Emperor's Children in 30K, inspired by an old pic of EC with two Fureuns in the background. Talking about the history of AT and its design. Tony was the photographer for the original AT products. Not seeing Lucius pattern Titans happening currently, but encourage conversions. Get the ice cream tubs! Command Terminals are Andy's favorite new rules element, really reinforces the idea you are command a Titan. Also keeps the board tidy and not cluttered with tokens! Have talked internally about doing downloadable honor banner images or resin banners (so you can heat them up and bend them). New upgrades guy already has a "long list" of things to work on. "Unprecedented" levels of plastic invested in the line already, mix of plastic and resin for future releases. Titandeath supplement planned to release a month or two after the novel - don't want the supplement to spoil the novel.

BadDice0809 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 "We dont want to spoil the novel xD" Sure. I'm SURE that's the reason. So January at the earliest. Great. Probably February. So long.... can't wait for the new maniples though. That will be cool. Wonder what the hold up is for the weapons upgrades. That's the single most demanded thing right now I would image. And frankly their slow release is just costing them money- people on esty and shapeways are already making some. My real concern is how are they going to handle the warlord weapon arms. They are clearly designed so the magnet is in part 60/61, meaning the whole arm is supposed to swap on or off.... but this means you need a separate arm (and armour panel) for each option. That's a lot of plastic. Will the upgrade come with an arm for each? Will the arm piece be redesigned so the magnet is at the bottom of the arm, and the weapons redesigned so the magnet fit there (currently the Belicosa Volcano Cannon is NOT designed as such). A whole lot of questions here... And also THANK YOU for this summary. Absolutely great stuff you reported here and it is appreciated.

wildweasel Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 I suspect the delay on the weapons mostly comes down to Specialist Games basically gets X slots in the plastic production schedule and the core Adeptus Titanicus releases already ate up a good chunk of that (and they have said that the game being delayed is part of why they were able to do that). AT has to share that bandwidth with BB and Necromunda.

Cpt. Bannockburn Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Would have been exciting to watch if there were ANY concrete points at all. As it was, Andy just reiterated a lot of talking points that were already mentioned before.

Mendi Warrior Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Great summary, thanks a lot. Exact same questions about the additional weapons, eagerly awaiting news on these, "no preview yet but soon an announcement", the sooner the better of course. I liked to hear psi-titans and ursus claws are definitely coming (even if no timing was mentioned).

RedFurioso Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Nova Guard is Defensor right? Anyone know what color they are? Someone from FW team mentioned they are ''super green". Nothing concrete, though. The funny thing is, Imperial Hunters are green too, so we get two green Legions in one book. Oh, and Krytos are white and green Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350810-warhammertv-at-livestream/#findComment-5179459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipOffProductions Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 the 3 new Titan classes they have planed for the future intrigue me the most(though it throws my current ideas for planning out my homebrew Legion out of wack until I have more info about these new classes) the one between Reavers and Warlords isn't that intriguing, barring some weird mechanic or special weapon only they get, though I'll probably get at least one just for variety's sake. the one between Warhounds and Reavers, well the big question there is if they'll be "scout titans" or not, and if they'll get carapace weapons or not. a Titan smaller then a Warhound is interesting to hear about, sense the Acastus Knight Porphyrion is already on par with a Warhound for size, this means we'd be getting a scout titan that's around the size of the bigger knights, unless of course they were talking about the Acastus class knights? I wouldn't mind if they ended up treating them like titans to represent their scale and firepower more accurately. I hope they tell us some more about these things soon, even if they won't be gong on sale for a good long while.

Fajita Fan Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Which are the Knights with the spear and shield? I’d like those. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350810-warhammertv-at-livestream/#findComment-5179609 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildweasel Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 They specifically called the sub-Warhound class a Light Scout Titan. More classes of Titans means more flexibility list building, as you can step a Titan up or down a class more easily when you end up with like 100 points over or under and sont want to just tweak the number of Knights you have.

noigrim Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 so, many plans but no release schedules ;)? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350810-warhammertv-at-livestream/#findComment-5179686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burni Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Yeah, I’ve been thinking back on the live stream and the new Titan classes have really captured my imagination. Can’t wait to see what’s in store. The light scout sounds great and the ‘above Warlord below Imperator’ has me vvvveerrry interested. The ‘no Lucius’ backs up what Atia was saying but the big surprise was that they aren’t even planned. Andy basically gave a flat ‘no’ for them and he’s usually more of a ‘maybe in the future’ type answer giver.

Captain Idaho Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 They haven't even got variant weapons out yet let alone different classes of Titan etc. Lucius must be miles off if it's even on the radar.

Fajita Fan Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I sorta thought an Imperator is the natural choice for GW given that bigger is better these days.

RipOffProductions Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 yeah, Lucius(and other alternate Patterns) are probubly going to be getting the shaft for the forseeable future, I don't expect us to see them until maybe after Xenos 'titans' and the Imperial side of things starts needing and update.

RipOffProductions Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I sorta thought an Imperator is the natural choice for GW given that bigger is better these days. I also long for an Imperator(as well as more terrain to use to decorate it's back), though the possibility of a class between Imperator and Warlords might mean that they plan to make Imperitors truly massive while still giving folks with less money/play space something huge to play with.

spu00sed Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 For the light scout Titan, I didn’t imagine something smaller than a Warhound, just lighter and faster. Possible with just a single capacae weapon with a 360 arc. This would make choosing between it and the Warhound a more thoughtful choice, go for more dakka or easier chance to shoot the enemy.

Achinadav Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I'd appreciate a light scout as fast as knights, and more manoeuvrable than a 'hound, with one titan class weapon and not many void shields. My guess would be that the difference between big knight & little titan will be plasma tractor management and void shield vs. ion shield. The hard bit of design being to make the little titan tough enough that it can stand up on it's own. Whilst keeping a big knight, like a porphyrion, fragile enough that it has to be in a banner.

Fajita Fan Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 A titan between a Warhound and Reaver sounds like a good opportunity for a strong melee class. The point was raised earlier, what class of weapons would you arm these in between titans with? Warlord - heavy arms/medium carapace Reaver - medium arms/light carapace Warhound - light arms/no carpace So I wonder how they’ll arm the in between classes, maybe more artillery type weapons? I’d be interested in seeing AdMech stuff like what was described in Mechanicum: the Kaban machine, that giant crawler, the artillery mechs, etc. Would you all like to see something with jump jets? It would certainly change how you move around terrain.
