Taliesin Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) I am very interested in this one, they say it contains more lore than ever and a roundup of all the legions with extra background would be really nice. I am posting this now because I suspect it will be announced this Sunday as going up for pre-order next week, alongside Siege of Terra: Mortis which is coming out that day. Love the cover btw, that warmaster is looking beastly! It’s packed with all of the rules and background for 16 Loyalist Titan Legions and 12 Loyalist Knight Households. So I am gonna take a guess and assume no separate narratives or battleplans in this since its covering 28 factions and these books normally come in around the 100 page mark ( bigger would be much appreciated). Most curious to see how much background there is for each legion, a photo page with 2 pages of background would be ideal for me.

Marshal Loss Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Hoping for: Significantly more background for the actual Titan Legions, which has been comically lacking at times (remind me again why Knight Houses get more lore than Titan Legions in Adeptus Titanicus?) More colour plates, which have been inconsistent with some Legions getting 1 and others getting 3+ Rules tweaks (not a great many of these needed, but some changes to some of the more obviously horrible choices would be nice) I'm going to keep my expectations low and just assume that they're throwing everything into a single book. Anything more than that will be a pleasant surprise.

Taliesin Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 Definitely agree the Titan legions background has been very sparse and thats whats disappointed me in these supplements so far. Hard to understand as well as that seems to be essential. So I am taking their " this has more lore than ever" line and assuming that has now been properly filled out.

schoon Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Given the total number of Legios to cover, plus Warmaster rules, plus scenarios, plus some background narrative, I'm not expecting much in the way of expanded material - much more likely revised and corrected. I'd love to be wrong, but just not seeing enough pages to do more.

RipOffProductions Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 weapon and Titan rules aren't in books though, they're on their own cards/terminals, books have maniples(which isn't relevant to the new Warmaster), stratagems, and Legio specific rules/modifiers, and some mission set ups.

Sherrypie Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Not entirely true, weapons like Sinistramanus, Ursus Claws, Shock Lances and such are in the books as are lengthier titan rules like the psi-titans. noigrim 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369675-loyalist-legions-book/#findComment-5683680 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 If anything, having the Ursus Claws in the book is a good thing. It means they're at least easily capable of being entirely rewritten without causing everyone a massive faff if replacing cards.

Noserenda Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Yeah id rather see more stuff in books tbh, apparently they feel they cant Errata cards past outright printing errors and its hurting the game, in little ways now but the Acastus shows the potential, especially combined with FW's attitude to FAQs :/ 1ncarnadine 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369675-loyalist-legions-book/#findComment-5683777 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taliesin Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 Yeah, Mortis isnt out either which I just suspect they will pair it with and that surely will be announced next week. They've been shuffling the release dates a lot lately though.

1ncarnadine Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Mortis had an Ordo Sinister Reaver, so if the Psi-Titan rules are expanded in any way they may account for that. Certainly the Psi-Titan kit seems to have sold well enough that another class of Psi-Titan might seem like a sound investment to produce.I'm very excited that this book is 176 pages. That's not a guarantee of the content I crave yet, but it now seems way more likely that we'll see expanded background and lots of color plates for each Titan Legion.

Certainly the Psi-Titan kit seems to have sold well enough that another class of Psi-Titan might seem like a sound investment to produce. Now that’s interesting! Personally I always hoped that the psy-titan rules would expand to an upgrade for any class, with the sinister acting almost like a titan of legend. Gothic had a similar upgrade mechanic for demon ships, and it’s how I imagine they would handle corrupt titans... I guess we will see in about two weeks Edited April 4, 2021 by The boater Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369675-loyalist-legions-book/#findComment-5685948 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I'm so down for a book which does the Legio focuses as good as the other books do the battles lore. (Maybe less so Titandeath...)

Mandragola Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 The book looks great. Very happy that it and the Warmaster are finally on their way. The maniple box is fantastic. It’s even better than the old battlegroup as it’s the same plus a bonus warbringer. That and the starter will give people an excellent force. Tempting though it is, I think I’ll try not to buy a the box though. The loyalist book and a couple of warmasters will do very nicely.
