Once again why oh why did I ever get rid of Titan Legions and Space Marine when I was a kid :( If only I could go back in time and slap myself.

My problem was I was so young when they came out, I put the models together and used them like action figures. They're all busted up and destroyed :(

I actually really like most of the titan variants. The Mars Warhound and Reaver (and now Warlord) from FW, the Lucius and Metalicus epic warlords, and even the Lucius warhound and reaver from FW. I don't like the old plastic beetlebacks, or the old do warhounds thouh, and the epic reavers were pretty bad. It's amazing how much better Will Hayes was able to make those old designs look when he did the FW Mars patterns.

I'd join in the Titan Legion painting project (I have about 25 titans in epic, including 2 or 3 Imperators, and about 40 Knights) but my new goal is to finish up painting my Warhound and Reaver from FW before their big brother arrives for me to build.

It's weird. When I design stuff it's 95% of the time organic to the point it's almost Art Nouveau, but when it comes to the titan designs I like the lucius geometric designs over the mars' smooth ones.

I'm guessing the Warlord is going to be unveiled alongside Tempest, which is supposed to be the Warhammer World Grand reopening or something along those lines IIRC? How far in the future is that looking?

Not long now, end of the month IIRC.

Ooh that means we could get to see it in all it's glory quite soon then

Never thought the Warlord would be coming so soon. Probably not going to be a model I'll ever own, but I think it's awesome they're finally making one.

Pretty Sure It's a Warlord:

Someone on the BoLS newsletter

went to a lot of trouble pasting together frames of the short video to give a composite image of the new FW Titan shown here.

Granted it's in the foreground of the Reaver but still it dwarfs the Reaver by almost double allowing for perspective.

Mebbe my Warlord isn't so outlandishly huge after all............

Still searching for the full painting.

And once again BOLS is late to the party, thank you Larry!

This was already shown and discussed several pages and several days ago!

When I’ve been out at events this year, such as Adepticon and the Horus Heresy Weekender, the Deredeo Dreadnought has been massively popular, and it’s no surprise that it’s been in Forge World’s top 10 products for the last few months. From what I’ve seen in the Forge World Studio this week, it looks like additional weapon options for the Deredeo are in the pipeline.

Looks better than the shot from the Weekender, although the guns are still a little longer than I'd like. Hopefully it'll have extended range over a normal plasma cannon to justify the longer guns.

I wonder if we'll see assault cannon, lascannon and conversion beamer versions?

They had the exp. rules for it at the last event

2 fire modes

36 7 2 Heavy 4
or
36 7 2 Heavy 1 Gets Hot Large Blast

Ah I remember now, add on the launcher and you've a pretty potent elite MEQ killer.

Hasn't got a longer range, but I guess the weapons would be more accurate than plasma cannons (combines nicely in a fluff sense with the Deredeo's increased BS), and it would seem they are more reliable so long as they don't fire the overcharged shot.

It is also TWL.

 STC_LogisEngine wrote:

Yeah, that makes it more accurate in game terms, but the fluff-justification for that is it is simply easier to hit the target with more shots fired. What I meant was that there is no point having BS5, if you were firing a gun that couldn't accurately hit where you were aiming. In Game terms, this makes no difference, but it is nice from a fluff perspective to have a weapon that looks like it could be that accurate, rather than just the firer is somehow compensating for the spread of the weapon.

I was just looking something on the forgeworld homepage and i couldnt find the lucius pattern warhound body anymore. Are there some news about that or is it just supposed to be a temporal issue?

Apparently it has been pulled, something to do with the Mars outselling it 8 to 1?

The Warlord never ceased to impress after all these years



Whenever I start getting sick of the balancing discussions regarding 40k I take a look at the old Epic artworks and think people are getting the scope wrong. Relax and enjoy this fictional war - 40k is just a tool to create crazy battle scenes. "The universe is a big place" and all that... "Oh, power armor went 3+ and they already got T4 and the Shaken rule last year - those overpowered Marines"... "Those gargantuan Wraithknights and Scatbikers"

Ah Warlord Titans, shiny

Is that for each weapon? So that's 8 twin linked plasma gun shots out to 36"?

I'm glad they're producing more weapons for the Dereodeo, makes me happy that I made the right choice in not gluing the autocannons on mine.

I assume thel the rules be updated and still be free when the plasma arms are released?

Until they are featured in an IA publication at which point the experimental rules will be taken down.

Chances are the Derpedeo will have its official rules published in the fifth Horus Heresy book.

They've been kind of lazy about taking the links to experimental rules down from their downloads page.

Oh ok, I wonder how many weapon sets they'll release before it goes in IA. Hopefully as we'll get a few more.

I also think the Deredeo should have it's points cost lowered in the final version, it's a bit too cheap ATM.

Say what?

Yeah, I'm with Alpharius on that. Four TL, S8 shots with the ability to reroll failed armor pen rolls is nothing to sneeze at. If the points are going to drop, then some of those abilities need to drop, too.

Whoops, I meant to write it should have it's points cost raised
