Any news on the scout titan teased in titandeath? Looks a bit sparse for actual titans so far

[Burni]

I don’t think it’s finished yet but they’ve not shown anything but have at least referred to the Rapier by name from what I’ve read.

[Mendi Warrior]

I haven't seen anything about it. Maybe it will be announced later today, but I'm not holding my breath.

From Garro on FB, I particularly love this mix (that is why I have accumulated a few Sanctum boxes lately … just to use the statues in AT terrain)

[Reyner]

I love the Reaver carapace weapons!

All plastic weapons sprues to be available in a near future

[Artellus Numeon]

Legio specific equipment conversion packs likely to be done after generic weapons.

unique panneling, heads likely to come alongside thematic books.

 

design your own Legio ruleset. possibly WD article

 

other Cerastus pattern knights planned and not too far but not in the next few months

 

Warbringer Nemesis likely in the works?

[Zhiv]

AT18 Seminar thread from FB. 

 

Upcoming releases;

 

The last of the two realm of battle boards coming out (for now) gamma and delta. They’re deliberately designed to limit Titan movement in places to make the game as tactical as it should be.

 

Reaver upgrade sprue. Sold separately due to popular demand *extensive feedback*

 

New buildings. 2 sets, designed to fit existing buildings. First set is just spires. Second set includes base set. Strong likelihood of more terrain.

 

Legio Fureans transfers. Fureans has Madaxia knights on theirs. On decal sheets - mortis and gryphons were the most popular legios at 28mm scale so went first. Got what they thought was a year of stock and we bought it out in a month. Good work all!

 

Next expansion! Doom of Moloch. Follows the events of Vengeful Spirit. Narrative scenarios and 4 more Legios. Rules for fielding a knight household - no Titans!

 

Legios in DoM - Crucius (Warmongers), Fortidus (Dauntless), Vulcanum (Dark Fire/Lords I’d Ruin), Interfector (Murder Lords)

 

Vulcanum are weird, two Legios on one FW. Weird things with their princeps.

 

Possibility, no promise, of a large A4 sheet of transfers to cover a number of the more minor Titan Legios. *speculation in Seminar, do not assume will be coming*

 

7 Knight houses covered including Devine. Will have special rules for each Household. Each Knight world (like Moloch) could have a number of households on it. Allows you to build the household along the lines of the predefined ones or you can pick a couple rules to define your Baron or high Seneshal.

 

Knight Strategems. And can be played against knights or titans. Plus Strategems!

 

Knight carapace weapons were meant to be on the plastic sprue but couldn’t fit! Will be coming soon.

 

Re-release of the Grand Master edition. Huge logistical operation to put together. Won’t be a permanent thing, if you want it get it while it’s there.

 

Resin weapons, being done by Blake. You get the whole arm so you can magnitise them. Individually available, not in sets as per the Contemptor etc. All weapon options will be available. Quake Cannon and Macro Blaster first up.

 

CARAPACE GATLING BLASTERS!!! REAVER VULCANS! WARP MISSILES! Missile is removable to track once it’s been fired. 2-3 months time. Designed 5-6 missiles, will likely get new rules for other missile types.

 

What’s next?

 

More campaign books. Pick something iconic and go with that as a jump off point. Calth would be a good one, Mars would be a likely choice too. Terra... obviously but will be a build up.

 

Legio/Household heraldry and special rules. Massive spreadsheet of STUFF!

 

Continued releases of plastic kits for knights, titans and terrain.

 

Entire spectrum of titans from Rapier upwards which might get covered. Light battle Titan between hound and reaver, maybe a heavy battle Titan.... Warbringer mentioned. Both plastic and resin potential due to expanded specialist games team.

 

Designs of knights and titans deliberately future proofed for different panelling; mechanicum, traitor, mutated... all that good stuff.

 

Themed dice - just beyond the 3 month window to be shown. Not Legio specific but loyalist/traitor

 

Other accessories. Terminals etc. The terminals out of stock is purely down to selling too well *shakes fist* but will be coming soon.

 

New weapons.... existing and brand new. Knight stuff too!

 

Resin weapons <£20 at a guess, not gospel. Not finalized yet.

 

App for terminals etc - one of Andy’s first thoughts for the game. Ultimately not enough resource on the App Team. Comes down to demand so get emails in to GW if you want it.

 

Ordo Sinister likely in the book after Moloch. Will likely get expanded out to cover reaver and the like, not just the 25 Warlords they had in Prospero times.

 

Special Character titans (rather than just princeps and crews) and alternative princeps.

 

If they did an Imperator it would be about the size of the 40k scale Reaver.... don’t hold your breath.

 

Audax and Ursus Claws are basically a shoe in. Just need to get final sign off past Tony...

 

On the Epic discussion. The Titanicus rules as they stand is designed for titans only but doesn’t mean the game can’t evolve in the future to include a broader scope. The intent of the game at the moment is very much to give players the sense of piloting a Titan. There *may* be expansions later on to deal with this.

 

Definitely some more modular bunkers similar to the Strategems currently available.

 

Organic terrain - mountains etc and well... ultimately comes down to cost. A mountain is a large chunk of resin you can make out of foam or rocks in the garden. If they do anything it would be themed terrain that you could then integrate into natural structures etc. Demo pods and seminars or a masterclass book to cover these things is a possibility.

 

More Realm of Battle boards are a possibility. Just need a Phil 2.0 to design them!

 

Titan Legio specific equipment conversion packs - gryphons motor reactive etc. Likely to come after the generic weapon upgrades. Along side unique panelling and heads etc. Likely going to come alongside the thematic books with the Legios.

 

Design your own Legio ruleset - definitely a possibility... something like the old Heresy rules for time before your Legion had rules. A Titan Crusade option. Possibly a WD article.

 

40k scale knights and new stuff being carried across is a very real possibility. Just down to resource, time and priority. Armigers etc.

 

Cerastus pattern knights - plans to do the other patterns in the future. Not in the next few months but not too far. Possibly plastics.

[Mendi Warrior]

The future seems very exciting.

 

A bit worried about pricing, resin weapons available individually is cool but "<£20 at a guess, not gospel" frightens me tbh.

 

This said I would love to see upgrade packs combining weapons and weapon cards.

[Marshal Loss]

Great news - the game has clearly been successful, and they are ambitious. I just hope they make an effort with transfer sheets, even if they aren't always super profitable (Mortis & Gryphonicus seem to have done well though), as they're a big part of what makes a Legio appealing for fans. Thrilled to see the carapace weapons and book design already done. The Weekender may have been riven with flaws, but Titanicus knocked it out of the park.

[Artellus Numeon]

I did like that they put up the WC article after the seminar was over. That way the attendees can actually enjoy beeing the ones to report to the public live. 

[RipOffProductions]

hmm, lots of good stuff, sad to still not be seeing or hearing any details about these new Titan classes(besides the tiniest being named "Rapier"), I get that they're not going to be here for a while, but something basic like their intended niche in your army would be nice

 

though the comment that an Imperitor would be the size of a 28mm Reaver is a good ballpark for those who want to scratchbiuld one while also "futureproofing" it.

 

also, I'm surprised by how much armor is piled around the Warp missile, as most scratch built ones are vary open-air affairs, though I suppose it makes sense that you wouldn't want that thing getting hit and going off on top of you(shame there aren't special rules for doing that, maybe that should be added in some sort of optional rules list)

[Mendi Warrior]

That is a great idea for special rules, love it!

[RipOffProductions]

That is a great idea for special rules, love it!

I suppose just giving the Vortex Missile a higher chance to have the "munitions detonation" result if disabled before being fired would work(and obviously being immune to it if already been fired, sense there is no munitions to detonate anymore)

[Mendi Warrior]

Definitely should work, I don't think you need much more than that.

[Mendi Warrior]

Isn't there an AT Terrain seminar at the moment? Interested to hear more about the contents (number of sprues and composition) of the two new boxes.

[Sandlemad]

 

 

Ordo Sinister likely in the book after Moloch. Will likely get expanded out to cover reaver and the like, not just the 25 Warlords they had in Prospero times.

 

So there's a lot of good stuff from that seminar, including some pleasingly candid stuff about priorities - but I'm not wild about this one. Part of what made the Inferno reboot of the Ordo Sinister so good was that they are portrayed as very particular sort of organisation, one that is radically different to every other titan legion and imperial body. Part of that characterisation includes them being a limited semi-experimental force consisting solely of warlords converted into terror weapons, the requisitioning of which nearly broke the alliance between Mars and Earth.

 

Adding reavers, etc, makes them feel more conventional and not the strange, secretive order of abominations that they've been set up as. Three Warlords-Sinister were enough to turn the tide against those insane eldar. They ought to be bespoke and weird and probably ludicrously OP. Maybe not even fitting into maniples. Like, they should be a sign that even the Emperor's minor pet projects are monstrous and outside the limits of conventional (Mechanicum, Collegia Titanica) military wisdom.

 

It feels like custodes syndrome, where they started as a very specific paramilitary body with a limited remit at which they excel but have gradually nibbled away at the abilities and specialisms of the rest of the imperium as GW/FW have added further units (on the tabletop more than in the background in fairness).

I could maybe see slaved serf-warhounds without nightmarish psy-weapons having a place as support but otherwise I'd rather see the Ordo Sinister as allies or a force of two/three titans of similar strength to a regular force of 5-8 normal titans.

[DuskRaider]

Knight-only armies! Called it! C'mon baby, Daddy needs Makabius rules. Did they mention the Acastus and Atrapos making a port over to AT? That's what Knights need if they're going to have a chance against an entire Maniple of Titans.

 

The future is bright for Titanicus.

[Cripple X]

The future seems very exciting.

 

A bit worried about pricing, resin weapons available individually is cool but "<£20 at a guess, not gospel" frightens me tbh.

 

This said I would love to see upgrade packs combining weapons and weapon cards.

Agreed. I'm really excited about all the news I'm reading here, but £20 per weapon is too high. Obviously it's not finalized so hopefully it isn't so high once they release otherwise you'll pay more for a set of weapon options than you would for the full kit itself, which seems a little silly.

[DuskRaider]

If you're magnetizing your Warlords how many do you really need of each? The most you'll field in a Maniple is what? Two, possibly three?

[Cripple X]

If it were me I'd probably just got for one of each weapon option per Titan class, but even just left arm, right arm, and carapace would come out to £60 plus FW's shipping costs which is more than the £65 for a full Warlord Kit. Just seems a little excessive to me even with the premium cost of a niche hobby. That's all I'm saying.

[Mendi Warrior]

Definitely magnetising the weapons. Also eyeing possible conversions. Completely agreeing with not having to equip each and every titan with all the weapons in the arsenal.

 

The "less than £20" I consider high, because of the embedded possibility that it would end up being very close to £20. I would love to see something closer in price to what is charged for the dreadnought weapons (£10 - 13 for single arm), or even less of course (maybe dreaming there).

 

From WHC, seems to be Guy Haley's own Legio Solaria titans (he has more on his twitter)

 

[Zhiv]

Ooh, those make me want to ditch Astronum (since I have yet to paint them) and do Solaria instead.  Also, those look 'hand-painted' dappling lighter green over darker green.  

[Mendi Warrior]

They are lovely indeed.

I found an article on painting Legio Solaria green mottled armour https://splayedpaintbrush.com/2018/12/27/legio-solaria-green-mottled-armour/

Always interesting to see different approaches

 

Curious to see if any AT stuff will be announced tonight for next week pre-orders

[Parweke]

Fureans only new legio to get transfers?
