Sandlemad Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 So what do we think the odds are of Shadow & Iron including rules for just whipping a crane around and nailing a reaver in the face? 1ncarnadine 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fajita Fan Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 Duuuuudde I was just thinking the other day about making a terrain club for a Warlord, that crane would be perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fajita Fan Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) 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: To be honest I've never seen the individual blocks like that, the cranes I've seen have covered backs so I've never thought of the counterweight being a hopper of concrete blocks. I'll need to beef up my crane when it becomes a club. I assume the official psi-titan weapon will be resin and I'm really curious what it will look like. There's no official art for it and the image in the 30k army book has the gun kinda darked or blanked out. Book 7 I think?

Mandragola Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I'm pretty sure the warlord would do more damage with just its fist than if it was holding a crane. The crane would just bend if you banged it on a titan. That's boring though. Rule of cool dictates that your warlord should bash things with whatever it can get hold of. An enemy Titan's amputated bellicosa would be my choice. Fajita Fan and Sandlemad 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Captain Arkley Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I think with one of my Warbringer Nemesis Titans I have to position its legs so it looks like its bracing to fire. Reyner 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big names! And confirmed 'modern' iterations of Ignatum and Metalica iconography. Lotta good wasps there and a useful hive-cells pattern.

As much as that makes sense for rule of cool, I don’t think it’s how titans are constructed. The back of the head isn’t a load of cables like you might have with a robot (though I’m sure there’d be some, carrying data and power), it’s a doorway/airlock between the head and the rest of the titan. The head is designed to come off to eject as well. I think a head that got removed by an enemy titan would leave a relatively clean break and definitely not have enough cables attached to swing it by. 1ncarnadine 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fajita Fan Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Not a joke, back when I was mocking up wiring LEDs in my titan heads I had tried to mock up the head-on-a-cable flail that actually powered a blinking LED in the victim. Sadly there wasn’t room for one CR20 battery in they torso of a Warlord let alone two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Loss Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) Legio Audax Ordo Sinister Warlord Titan: And these are just a taster of the mighty battles that unfold in the book – conflicts you can refight with five narrative play missions, alongside rules and background for six Titan Legions and six Knight Houses that fought in the twin crusades. And yes, these rules include the much-requested Legio Audax and their signature weapon, the Ursus Claw. Six Titan Legions, including Traitor: Legio Infernus/Suturvora, Legio Audax Loyalist: Legio Praesagius, Legio Oberon Edited February 5, 2020 by Marshal Loss noigrim 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Casman Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Speaking of the Ordo Sinister, you’ll find the rules for the Warlord-Sinister Psi-Titan in Shadow and Iron. This mighty war engine is a terrifying presence on the battlefield, using its psychic abilities to move faster than you’d expect for a Warlord Titan while devastating enemies with bolts of shadow from its Sinistramanus Tenebrae.So, the left hand of darkness, eh, Specialist Games? Solid name. Fire Golem and Doctor Perils 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fajita Fan Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 Yeah, that’s what it’s called. Neat weapon and cool backstory. Honest: I’ve been looking to kitbash a psi-titan for many months now and I’m not using those bits. That head is awful and the gun doesn’t look...scary? The color is what I expected but I’ll pass on the official bits and continue my kitbash, thanks for the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbabyjesus Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 So I now need to start a loyalist Legio... That's the message I'm getting from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandlemad Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 They’re going all out, Audax at last! Metallica and Ignatum would bring the legion count to six, though it would be unbalanced towards the loyalists... Depends if they’re counting the Ordo as one of the legions as well. Six knight houses. Vornherr’s a given. Krast and Terryn and Taranis are on the new transfer sheets. Vyronii and Malinax have been prominent so far but don’t have rules. Maybe that’s it? Not 100% on the Warlord-Sinister. The gun looks appropriate and the idea of the head is good, just not sold on it entirely. Pretty big, maybe too big. It’s a fitting style for its blankness but not sure it conveys menace in the right way. Dunno, will need to see the 360. Nice idea of the painter to match the left hand of darkness with the red right hand of doom though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
