Mendi Warrior Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/07/28/what-is-the-ursus-claw/ New article, it mentions that "Before long, players will be launching Ursus Claws of their own on Adeptus Titanicus tabletops thanks to incoming upgrade kits from Forge World." So, soonTM … eagerly awaiting but not holding my breath though (especially masked). The pictures have already been shown earlier, nice little story.

Lord Raven 19 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I believe that ursus claws were originally fitted to world eaters spaceships as giant harpoons to bring enemy vessels into boarding range. It'll be interesting to see how they translate that to titans.

Marshal Loss Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 That excerpt is from Betrayer. If anybody hasn't already read it, do so!

Noserenda Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I mean they are previewing something long previously previewed which has had rules for months with a years old book quote. At least the Road to Thramas showed something new... mooftak 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365520-engine-kill-what-is-the-ursus-claw/#findComment-5573166 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendi Warrior Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) Yeah, I had "hoped" we might get a roadmap à la Necromunda or Warhammer Underworlds but instead we get some déjà-vu. My only question is how soon are we going to see the actual Ursus Claws released by FW, as "Before long" can mean a lot of things ... Loosely related joke A man was wandering in the woods pondering all the questions of life, the universe, and his own personal problems. The man could not find any answers so he sought help from God."God!? God?! Are you there God?!", he shouted.God responded, "What is it my son?""I have a few questions, mind if I ask?""Go right ahead, my son - ask anything," God said."God, what is a million years to you?"God said, "a million years to me is only a second.""Hmmm", he wondered. Then he asked again, "God, what is a million dollars worth to you?"God said, "A million dollars to me is only worth a penny."The man lifted his eyebrows and proceeded to ask a final question. "God can I have a penny?"And God cheerfully said, "Sure!!.....in a second."

Brother Pheidias Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I believe that ursus claws were originally fitted to world eaters spaceships as giant harpoons to bring enemy vessels into boarding range. It'll be interesting to see how they translate that to titans. I believe it's the other way around, the XII served so much with Audax and were so impressed they adopted them for the Conqueror.

I haven't got Betrayer at hand, but some googling seems to suggest that Conqueror had ursus claws fitted before the titans ever did, and that the titans were armed thus in imitation of the ships of the World Eaters legion. I shall continue my research and report back.

Sherrypie Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 If memory serves, the Conqueror was first, titan claws came later as the Ember Wolves started to get more psychotic in their ways.

Brother Pheidias Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Thanks for clearing it up, I could've sworn it was the other way around Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365520-engine-kill-what-is-the-ursus-claw/#findComment-5580161 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandragola Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) Curious that the other Titan legios adopted them as well. But I guess that could be due to seeing audax do well with them.With the AI releases out this week maybe the ursus claw will be out soon.

Sword Brother Adelard Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Perhaps the other legions got restocked from the forge world in question, and that was the standard model on offer. Kind of like buying a car with a tape deck as standard and having to pay extra for the CD player?
