Didn't stop them doing that for all the HH vehicles that got punted to Legends in 40K.

Seeing that this is plastic surely this will be a fair amount lighter than the several tons of top heavy solid resin in the forge world version? If so a minimal size base made of something like hard board along with some lead sheet offcuts and a couple of solid brass rod pins would be enough to give you a stable gaming piece no?

 

This could be a wonderful kit or a fantastic scenic turkey ready for the Christmas table just like the Thunder turkey from last month, hoping for the first but more than prepared for the latter.

It has to be said that producing the large section plastic parts used in model kits like Tamiya model ship hulls and their large aircraft fuselage parts are the hardest parts to produce due to the warping in the cooling process. It is often due to this reason alone that plastic model makers stick to smaller scale vehicles or part up large areas. Funnily enough the exact same things that people seem to struggle with when dealing with resin. GW spent a lot of time in Billund Denmark looking at how Lego make things in the mid 2010's to try to get a handle on larger volume plastic production and how to go about moving away from both metal and resin.

It has already been addressed, but I used to think the same way and I was wrong.

 

GW released a big collection of stunning plastic vehicles like Spartans, Leviathans, Kratos tanks, etc and suddenly sent them all into Heresy and moved the rules into Legends.

And in most cases they no longer even have Legends rules!

Argument here is that the Warhound currently has 40k rules...they just suck

I assume that the Titan would get a rules upgrade before being released into plastic, just to boost sales.

 

Im hoping it will be an Imperial Agents (or another Imperial Ally) option, so I can slide this mech into other fun lists.

Well, there is the rumour of upcoming Codex: Titans book, though one is left to wonder what else the book will cover beside Warhound. That said, I would expect the Warhound to get a fair bit of playtesting if such a book is coming out. In any case, I would not expect to see the Warhound getting "legendised" just months before the release of a plastic version.

If that was the imperial agents mini for the edition that would be hilarious. I also think it'd be a good fix for a lot of that factions issues (lack of any in built anti tank and expensive/annoying to collect)

I could finally live out my dream of fielding all Assassins and a Warhound.

I would be ok with the Titan literally having a rule that destroys terrain so you can actually move it around the table lol

Whilst true, the big difference here is there isn’t a Primaris Warhound for it to compete with.

Didn't that come out years ago, when they embiggened the heck out of the Warhound.
