New third-party Titan chassis: the Warden

[apologist]

Battle Bling have released a new Titan, so I thought I'd pop up a thread to discuss. None of the following beautifully painted version are mine (more's the pity!)

Two different versions: the Aevum and Fidelis, which are distinguished by their heads and top carapace:

 

   

 

 

Size-wise it's in between a Warhound and Reaver:

Suggested rules were supplied in the newsletter – here's the Terminal:

 

 

So it has the option to operate a bit like a pocket-Reaver with a third gun, or as a specialist Knight-protector. 

 

Scale-wise it's a 7, so between a Reaver and Dire Wolf, which are otherwise the best comparisons.

• In terms of raw stats it's nearly identical to a Dire Wolf, with just an inch less speed with Power to Locomotors
• The Warden's reactor is the same length as the Dire Wolf, but it has an additional shield
• Armour-wise it's identical to a Dire Wolf
• At 220pts for the chassis it's 10pts more without weapons
• Like the Dire Wolf, it's an Auxiliary Titan, and has a Heavy Scout Titan rule that explains how you can use it, with a clarification that Legio Audax players can't field it.

 

The most obvious difference is the lack of the Stalker rule – the Warden instead has the option of a carapace-mounted weapon or the Aegis Protocol, which helps to shield friendly Knight banners by reducing the Strength of attacks against them.

I like everything about this except the AI.

Always nice to see new content for AT, even if unofficial.

Lovely Titan!

Mine has arrived, and been built!

 

 

I wrote a review and some building notes over on the Death of a Rubricist blog, if you'd like to see:
