Next week pre-orders


Recommended Posts

So a Nemesis, Transfer sheet and Book are a must(Wasn't counting on the transfers). I hope that box set sticks around full time to allow me to buy later on.

 

Does anyone know if it is the whole rule set box in the new set with all the Titan terminals/cards or have they removed the Warlord one to insert the knight terminals?

Ignatum transfers with Taranis are an absolute win for me. Two sets day one. Would love to know about carapace options on the Warbringer (I guess we use Reaver cards for the arms). Is it possible it’s Quake only and printed on the terminal? That would be a shame as I not a huge fan of the Quake Cannon and had hoped it could have a Sunfury on there.

 

I hope I can get a box of just Warbringer boards. Got all the other ones I could ever use but would like them to match.

 

Will get the book and likely get a box of terrain. Expensive day next Saturday!

 

Also; so the Warbringer is between the Reaver and the Warlord and the Nemesis suffix means it carries a weapon from the class above but otherwise it uses Reaver weapons. So therefore if there is ever a non Nemesis version, what would make it different from a Reaver? Same weapon load but more resilient chassis? Double carapace weapons?

Have to say at £90 I can see the starter selling like hot cakes. I’ll be after a couple of sets at that price. Though I am now worried it’ll be a limited release of it. I can see an increase in popularity of the game as players can get the rules and a nice battle group with various weapons for less then £100 (and then leave after dealing with the reavers legs lol). Chuck in a warlord and a few resin guns for still under £200 and they’re able to run a few different maniples while still not investing heavily into a ‘side’ game, which it will be for a lot of people.

 

£55 is what a couple of us had guessed for the Warbringer. Would of been nice for it to land at £45, but she’s a chunky girl so it was expected to be higher than that. Not having to pay for a separate pack of command terminals is a nice bonus. Now if they’d put the heavy card stock versions in the titan boxes along with the weapon cards for the options in the kit we’d all be very happy people.

The warbringer and industrial terrain come a little bit above what I had hoped for, this won't prevent me from buying them I guess :biggrin.:

 

Seeing "with Quake cannon" makes me wonder if another version is around the corner, with another weapon (or several other weapons through FW).

+1 Exactly my thoughts. Still hoping for a pack of just Warbringer thick card terminals as I don’t want more of the others.

I don’t know if we’ll see other carapace options for the warbringer. We might, but none of the other warlord arm options really make sense as artillery bombardment weapons. A bellicosa mounted in the same way would only be relevant against spacecraft or people on hills, unless someone held up a big mirror in the sky. A sunfury or macro Gatling just seems better used on a warlord, with the durability to survive at close quarters and a second arm. And I think we can rule out an Arioch claw.

 

There are other options though. Some kind of rocket battery could work, With either a ton of apoc missiles or a rack of warp/vortex missiles.

 

To be honest it seems kind of insane to put any of these Bombardment guns - quake included - on the back of a titan. it would be vastly easier to just mount them on tracks if they’re intended to sit far away and out of sight. But then that wouldn’t be very Wathammer.

It looks possible to drop the elevation far enough to direct fire the cannon at the larger titan classes. I’m pretty sure there’s been a situation in one of the novels when a warlord kneeled down to bring its carapace weapons to target something outside of its arc as well. With the warbringer being a fire support and titan killer class I could picture a scenario where it kneels in position and acts as a sniper against an advancing foe. Forward elements engage while it bunkers down and finishes off priority targets.

If not I could still understand why they might nail an indirect fire artillery piece to a titan. Legions don’t always operate with the luxury of supporting units, and some nuts have to be cracked open with a good old fashioned bombardment before risking an assault.

I wouldn’t complain if we saw a huge version of those plasma bombard cannons the cog boy robots waddle around with in 30k. Can’t quite remember their names atmo.

Interesting to see if those Warbringer's shoulder batteries are the same bits that AI had. If they are, thus being interchangeable, I'm going to run one with the Manticore missiles instead :biggrin.:

You genius and bad man. I haven't got the ground assets yet but I am planning on picking it up so I'll try it out unless someone beats me to it!

So £90 for the AT starter box is incredible. Can't remember the last time I saw such a sharp discount on anything GW. It's like forty quid cheaper than just the models alone.

 

It's a great set of content for teaching maneuver and such but that's the price needed to get folks in.

It's a phenomenal discount, and overall I'm really happy with how the AT bundles have been priced - my entire collection is just built around the boxed sets (I started with the Titan Battlegroup, and I'll be getting the starter set and Knight Battleforce) and even though I love the Warbringer I'm perfectly happy to wait until it's in some kinda bundle because I know the savings will be significant. On that topic I'd imagine it'll be bundled with whatever other new Titan we get this year (if we do) or potentially the volcano Reaver and plasma Warlord kits as a Battlegroup box Mk II if not - coming out just before the winter holiday.

It’s basically a full on GW starter set now, priced to get people in the door. It just happens to have the full kits in the box.

It's also wild to see a starter kit where you don't have to think to yourself "right, those options are missing, that will need to be re-posed, not sure I'n bothered with that unit". Even the fact that both reaver variants are there surprises me,.

 

But it's so good. Even if you split it and get another titan box each, you've got a small maniple.
