Adeptus Titanicus Plastic Dire Wolf Scout Titans

[Lord Marshal]

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

 

Also the return of Heresy Thursday, albeit sharing space with Epic Legions Imperialis as well as 28mm 30k.

My Resin ones are now staring at me acusingly, they now know they might never see the light of day.

[Fire Golem]

Oooh, sick! I almost ordered a resin one t’other day. I hope they’re a bit more posable than the identical leg pose suggests. 

[Burni]

 

Very unexpected but extremely welcome, I'll be investing in 1 box at least. Are you able to magnetise the carapace weapon on the resin version (which I assume uses exactly the same CAD files as this).

Now this is an encouraging development! I was legit considering grabbing a resin one for Epic as its not too much of a price gouge but this is definitely better! 

Just hope its got proper AT bases in the kit too :) 

[Pearson73]

Nice to get them in plastic, but I'm probably more excited for Heresy Thursday! Hopefully 28mm gets a fair lookin. 

[Colman]

Rules for AT for the new weapons, though the way they phrase it implies  that the rules for AT use will be in the LI box, which seems wrong unless they’re doing something massively unlikely like rolling consoles and stuff into the LI rules, which would be weird. 

[Matcap86]

Well that's unexpected!

I'm beginning to think I'll be using either standard height or 3rd party bases for LI as I don't like the roadway design on the low height ones nor do I like the little stick-up corner on all the LI titan bases shown so far.

lol, why? 

[Noserenda]

One concern i did see raised is whether this box will include the full AT rules for the titan and its cards, because right now they are only available with the resin version.

Becouse working with plastic is so much easier for me, and my backlog of resin models is a few years.

I magnetise my bases for transport, and these new ones look to thin to do that with, so will probably stick with the normal GW bases and uses these LI ones as the base for battlefield terrain, stick a building on it and some debris.

I reckon they'll put the terminals in the box, and they only need four weapon cards total, so that's only a slip of paper for them. The Warbringer has terminals in the box with three cards.

Glad to see they're starting to reveal future planned units for this game 

 

I'm looking forward to seeing the tanks though, regular and super-heavy; Rhinos and Spartans for the little infantry, and Fellblades and Glaives to accompany them 

[Astartes Consul]

I did, for a moment, think that was 28mm scale...

I can tell you it quickly gets as easy as plastic once you're used to it. Backlog isn't gonna get smaller by buying more models.

[Captain Idaho]

Well that's 2 goals for the price of 1. New Adeptus Titanicus and LI plastic release.

 

It's a bonus to me too... I didn't like the resin version as I felt it reminded me or poultry. But now it appears to be angled differently, possibly lower because it's firing at smaller targets  and now it looks much better to my mind.

[DuskRaider]

Well this is certainly exciting! I’ve been looking to grab a couple for a while now but just didn’t want to spend FW money. I’m hoping the FW Knights follow soon.

That would be pretty nuts. It would be the first time in a while we got a new big titan. Warhound itself has been around for ages.

Oh I know, I have about 4k of Mechanicum, split between Legio Cybernetica and Ordo Reductor, plus all assorted other, but I just prefer hard plastic, especially for conversion and kit bashing.

The problem with the dire wolf stock is actually the head. You see, when you buy it stock, because of the way the ball and socket joint works at the neck, you can't have the head looking level with the ground, it has to look down at the floor, and it looks awful as a result, like it's trying to duck out of the way of it's own shot.
If you trim the socket on the body at the top, you can mount the head so it's looking where it's firing, and it looks much better.

You and I are different beasts. Over the past year my resin models have quickly outnumbered my plastic ones. It's a bit model dependant, but I really prefer the detail and the art direction at FW.

Some models like this one look pretty much the same.

[Arendious]

Be interested to see if we get a Reaver arm-mount for the new C-Bean Dissipater.

 

Pity there don't seem to be any alternate secondary weapons this time.

[Marshal Mittens]

Very cool, I can never resist conversion beam weapons.
