I can make that myself but I love the design of the crane so thanks for the inspiration.

Fajita Fan Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) I have a new Warlord on the sprue sitting 2' from me to be a psi-titan, gotta get this sucker built. And are those stones being used to counterweight the crane? Really? Edited January 29, 2020 by Fajita Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrypie Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Yass, I dig it. The new starter is great for those starting out and Shadow and Iron sounds interesting. Exciting to see what they've come up with with the psi- and artillery titans after the Acastus kerfuffle, hope they've learned to get back onto the power curve.

Iron Hands Fanatic Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) I'm really curious about the Warbringer's artillery potential in a game so often about manoeuvring around terrain to gain line of sight, being able to hit enemy Titans in cover with something other than apoc missiles is really interesting. Also wondering whether it's AA guns will have any role in game? I'm kinda hoping they provide a save against barrage weapons, using them to shoot down apocalypse missiles is such a cool idea Edited January 29, 2020 by Iron Hands Fanatic Sandlemad 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spleenex Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 This is super exciting! The Warbringer will fill an interesting niche, I think. And it's great that its arms are interchangeable with Reaver's. Not quite as versatile as a dedicated fire support Warlord, but presumably more maneuverable and cheaper. I'm envisioning taking one and running my Reavers a bit more aggressively, as I usually have a Volcano Reaver for anti-knight duties in smaller games, which can get tricky in terms of reactor management late-game. Can't wait to see the stats for it. And that's a great starter box, too. Wish they had had that when I was starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the chassis is somewhere between a 250pt Reaver and 385 Warlord, let's call it 300-315pts because it's got slabs of armor and I assume a bigger reactor. Now add a volcano, laser blaster, and quake (70pts), that's somewhere in the neighborhood of 370-380 sitting in the backfield. Compared to a typical 460pt Sniperlord that's not a bad investment to park in the backfield. I really wonder if there'll be an arm mounted missile to help with long range shooting because that laserblaster probably won't fire more than once or twice all game if it sits back there... I pulled out the pieces to make my psi-titan gun arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Taelos Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I have a new Warlord on the sprue sitting 2' from me to be a psi-titan, gotta get this sucker built. And are those stones being used to counterweight the crane? Really? They look like concrete blocks as a counterweight - just like real world tower cranes! I love all of it - definitely getting a Nemesis for my Fureans battlegroup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthier Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Welp, that's a trio of Warbringers added to the legio then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Hands Fanatic Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I'm now speculating wildly about what Maniple formats we might get for the Warbringer - a Warlord & Warbringer heavy maniple is probably a given, but a maniple composed of Warhounds & Warbringers would be neat. Either letting the Warbringer(s) ignore the -2 to Hit from the Barrage rule (which presumably its quake cannon will have) when targeting within a certain distance of the Warhounds (acting like spotters), or maybe with the whole maniple acting in a scouting role, with the quake cannon's shells used to echo-locate titans and boosting to Hit rolls within a certain distance of wherever they scatter.

Fajita Fan Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 the quake cannon's shells used to echo-locate titans and boosting to Hit rolls within a certain distance of wherever they scatter. I laughed. Warbringer: firing echo location shot Warhound 1: roger [distant boom] Warbringer: auspex is showing less movement Warhound 2: yeah, you hit Todd RipOffProductions, WandererTheta, Gederas and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandragola Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Oh well, just when you think you've got enough titans... The new starter set is great. Much better than the GME, with far more variety of models and weapons. Should probably cost around £100, or perhaps a bit more. The contents is similar to the battlegroup, but with a second reaver and cerastus instead of the warlord - and a load of accessories. In any case I don't actually need one, as I've got loads of the stuff in it and two rulebooks already. But Psi titans and warbringers are things I can get behind. Here's hoping I can do a better job of sticking the legs together than the guy in their studio. Weirdly, it goes on sale the day of the event at Warhammer World, so I guess we'll be able to buy all the new stuff there but not use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noserenda Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Yeah we have an event at the same time as none of us got tickets for WHW, next time we will know to aim for the week after lol Very excited for more titan variants, getting two is verrrry nice :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ncarnadine Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Cool! I'm very excited all around. Except for Ordo Sinister. Everything else seems great. It's going to be interesting to see more Traitor Titan Legios and Knight Houses associated with the Shadow Crusade other than Infernus and Audax. The Loyalists already have a dearth of possibilities in Praesagius, Oberon, Lysande, Vornherr, and now I guess the Ordo Sinister as well?What are the odds that the Warbringer's carapace mount has a 9" minimum (scale 9, between the Reaver and Warlord) and a corridor firing arc? I'm guessing 5/7" or 5/8" movement, too. I don't know if it's going to have any kind of indirect fire option, either? I didn't see any statement to that effect but I could have missed it. I also really want to know if it can run the Reaver CCWs, for, uh, reasons. Marshal Loss 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbienw Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I wonder if the Warbringer kit will come with 2 tiny spotter guys for the top deck, like the top deck crew on the 40k Warbringer kit? I cant see any in the preview picture (although their spotter telescopes are there), so possibly not but would be so cool if it did :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matcap86 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Shadow and Iron is about the Shadow Crusade and Calth? Give me Praesagius transfers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gore Crow Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I guess the design has grown on me since the 28mm one came out! I think I would have liked to see chaos titan/daemon rules before getting to the Ordo Sinister stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irbis Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I really like that starter. I was considering getting reaver and warhounds, guess I drop that plan and just wait. Kind of disappointed only one kind of psychic titans though, I really hoped Legio Xestobiax would be first as unlike Sinister they don't even need upgrade bits. Also, psychic reavers. Mm-mm And are those stones being used to counterweight the crane? Really? Out of curiosity, what did you expect? Skulls? Real life cranes use concrete slabs because they are cheap, don't stop working if the power is cut, and no big loss if you have to emergency drop them: Captain Taelos 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Loss Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Keen as a bean for all this. Interested to see what kind of rules Infernus will get as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
