Rapier Titans in Titandeath

[Vash113]

So one of the interesting things that popped up while reading Titandeath is a reference to Rapier-class Scout Titans that are described as being a: "lighter, swifter machine than even a Warhound."

 

Unfortunately there is little else in the way of description given and the main protagonists of the book don't use them.

However this is an interesting inclusion, sometimes units that GW later releases pop up in Black Library novels and this may be an indication that something is in the works, for Titanicus but also if it is indeed a bit smaller than a Warhound could we perhaps see a plastic 28mm Heroic scale Scout Titan appear at some point? Thoughts?

i agree the warbringer was in imperator so this makes sence to me wasnt there a rumor about a smaller scout tiotan with 3 legs?

I hadn't heard anything but then again I haven't been looking.

 

The book also makes mention of Nightgaunt and Carnivore-class Titans, apparently around the size of Reavers. Perhaps more things we might see from Forge World for 40k or more likely for Titanicus.

With the way they get designed now, appearing in AT gives a great chance of it appearing in 40k and visa versa.

 

Maybe one of these will become the first GW plastic titan though

I hope the Tripod titan with Tesla weaponry (Punisher I think it was called) mentioned in The Beast series shows up in Titanicus.

nightgaunt was a warlord variant from ad titanicus 1st edd just same as the nemisis so ye maybe
