I've only ever seen one picture of the warlord prototype, are there more?

Here are a couple. I have some more, but Photobucket does not seem to want to upload them.

These appear to be Nick Tomkins' Titans.

Fantastic pics Tim. Back in the day I so wanted a warhound and reaver AC titan.... ahh those where the days

**cuda1179**

The guy that ended up buying the Imperator Prototype passed away a few years back. Having met him a couple times I was half tempted to contact his widow and ask if she was interested in selling it to someone (me) that would give her a fair price. However, I then thought that it might sound a bit tacky.

As for the Armorcast Warlords, I know there are at least 5 in existence, although at this point I think there might be a few recasts out there too. As a fair warning, there is a guy from Florida (at least he was in Florida as of 2009) attempting to sell his AC Warlord. At least two guys have paid him for it, only to have their money gone and nothing to show for it. I almost got duped as well.

My, what ugly Titan models.

They work OK in epic scale, but I much much prefer the FW reimagining of them for 28mm rather than Armorcast's straight up up scaling (which they had no choice about but still)

**Retrogamer0001**

The new FW models certainly are gorgeous - these older ones look like over-sized McDonald's Happy Meal toys.

**cuda1179**

There is no doubt that the FW ones are better in almost every regard. The Armorcast ones were easy to assemble though, and were designed to let you swap weapons.....something FW designs lack.

**hotsauceman1**

And they dont cost the price of a small car.

**Kid_Kyoto**

IIRC Armorcast could not alter the proportions or details of any model, so if they look like they're blown up 5mm models, then yes, they are.

But back in the day that's all we had.

**cuda1179**

I wish they would have been able to do for the titans what they did for the Baneblade. When they released the super-detailed baneblade it rivaled the detail and quality of the later released ForgeWorld variety. I've actually compared my AC baneblade to my friend's FW one. In some ways it's a little worse, but in other ways it's actually better.

**CragHack**

Saw this on the facebooks:

I just wonder, how soon is their "soon". And whether it will be a new book or some free updated datasheets for everyone to d-load.

**Warhams-77**

I like these Warlords, nice kit.

**BrookM**

Knowing Forge World they'll toss out an FAQ or something to go with the new flyer book.

Here's hoping the Crusade Imperialis book will go up for sale today. I needs it.

Well okay, not available in the store as of posting right now, but..

**ImAGeek**

There's a bundle for you Alpharius!
https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/The-Shield-of-the-Iron-Tyrant

**Matt.Kingsley**

*Falls off chair*

Holy gak $820 AUD.

Shame the bundle doesn't give a discount...

Still a very impressive 1200+ points though.

**zedmeister**

Forge world Open Day tickets up as well. I've decided to grab myself one - first open day for me.

Want to collar them on Adeptus Titanicus and to try to grab Imperial Armour 14 if it's available.

Please pass on what you hear, I am really curious about AT!

Just hope the prices of those awesome robots aren't an indication of AT prices...

**Co'tor Shas**

Someone over on ATT got their hands on the new barracuda, with some good pics.

Spoiler:

If you run into anyone related to the SG team, could you pressure them to find out if the eventual Mordheim reboot is going to actually be Mordheim, setting & all, or if it's going to be like WHQ:ST, a "spiritual successor" in the AoS setting?

Will do, I hope to at least ask a few questions as it is something I've long waited for. Personally, I expect the warlord will be Thanatar sized with a price to match...

You'll have to remind me closer to the day...

**Thanatos73**

I'm just hoping they start releasing the red books in digital soon. The Mechanicum one is so much more convient, both in game terms and in not having to order it from across the pond.

**Ratius**

Anyone else think the heads are to "necrony"?
Love the piston hammer arm though.

**Ashiraya**

They seem to match the skull of the Iron Warriors icon.

This is happening. I'm pumped since I've wanted to do this for all of my vehicles/dreads for a while.

**Zuul**

It would be nice if they brought back the Anphelion Project terrain...

**Nova_Impero**

I so want that bundle, but that would break my wallet.
