If you were at Games day Baltimore and went to the forge world siminar you would have heard that though that was the first titan they came up with that will not be the one they used. The speaker stated that the sculptor thought he could do much better. It was stated it will be out maybe within a year no release as they have no idea.

As to the new LR variant, I'll bet good money that it'll be something for the Space Wolves in IA:11. Possibly even a mostly SW variant (akin to the Ares for Dark Angels).

As for weaponry, I'm going to hope for a Thunderfire cannon poking out the front, but in all likely hood, it'll be a way for us Sons of Russ to shoehorn in even MORE missile launchers.

Could be a LR made to look like a giant stick, or squeeze toy?

Could be the land raider with the assault canon sponsons that kept appearing in the space wolf and blood angel rumours?

Oooh! How about a Land Raider Kennel that spawns 3D6-3 Fenrisian Wolves every Reserves Phase?

How about the Storm Raven the flying land raider!

Maybe they'll give it wings and a handy compartment that can hold a Dread.

"Utter muppet" = an idiot.

I don't know if that's intense enough. How about it shoots 3D6-3 Fenrisian Wolves out of a catapult?

Anyone thought it might be possible for it to be a pre-heresy land raider? you know, what with all the new armour kits released not too long ago.
So thats my bet, just a basic godhammer, but remade.


Titan wise, i dont like it, prefer the armorcast one.
Even more so, i prefer the armorcast one that Navarro did. (think it was him anyway lol)

There's already a pre-heresy Land-Raider kit by forgeworld.

Think he means like the rogue trader version. Which is pre heresy design if go by the art books?

Hehe seeing the old RT Raider in high quality resin would be a sight for sore eyes

Increase the length add a bit more detail here and there. Think it would look really good.

Actually, I was there and I'm positive that he explicitly stated that the Phantom should be available by Christmas (should scheduling go as planned).

Then you weren't fully listening. The guy is doing another one but he said that they weren't sure when he would be done with it. The imperial armor that they are doing that one with is still two away after this months later release.

Ah. I see. Interesting. Thanks for clearing that up.

We've developed a Land Raider that can carry 10 Terminators/20 Marines in our own rules, but we called it the Land Raider Pandora*.





* Long before Avatar came along and fethed up that word almost as much as Twilight fethed up the use of the word 'Twilight'.

not my own doing, stated on the tempus fugitives site... it's been in all the age of the emperor so far except the great crusade part. and seeing as orginal land raiders couldn't carry terminators i think an updated one could very well carry ten

Yeah, sorry, but no. I'm 99% positive he said that it should be available by/around Christmas.

Edit: Especially since, you know, the last "What's New" on the GW website said that quote:

Will Hayes will be displaying a large Eldar project that he has been working on - in fact it's a very large Eldar project!

What else could that be? If it's already going on display in a couple weeks, the idea of it coming out by Christmas seems pretty possible.

Not to take sides, but "that he has been working on" is very vague(note it does NOT say finished). If he decided to go back and redo it, he's still be working on it, wouldn't he? That quote far from supports your position, especially since it says display and not for sale(FW displays WIP projects all the time, not only finished ones).

It's whatever. I'm not going to argue because I know what I heard. And I heard the speaker for FW say it should be available around Christmas. In fact, I believe there was a topic earlier back which stated the very same thing, so I'm not just randomly pulling this idea out of my ass.

I'd love to see a Plasma-Raider. That would be fun as hell to use.

Well then make one yourself.

That PDF just helps to confirm my belief that GW need to learn to write properly.

Or, at a minimum, understand the basic use of an apostrophe.....
