That's not a bad idea - and they sell the Infantry & houses separately.

Subject: Re:Adeptus Titanicus news - All info in OP - Pre-order 11th August - Pricing Rumours Pg78
Adeptus Titanicus and the Horus Heresy have a long and intertwined history. Though the Heresy was first mentioned in the original Warhammer 40,000 rulebook in 1987, it was the following year that Adeptus Titanicus expanded on it and introduced the core of the background you know and love – all as a way to explain battles between two armies of Imperial Titans!
Thirty years later, the new edition of Adeptus Titanicus is returning to the Horus Heresy, once again bringing titanic warfare back to the forefront – and it’s all been done in conjunction with Black Library and Forge World’s Horus Heresy series.
When it was determined that Adeptus Titanicus would be getting a new edition, the Specialist Brands team set to work on figuring out how it would fit into the background. It was clear that there was scope in the existing story for massive clashes between Titan Legions – the Betrayal at Calth and the Battle of Tallarn to name just two.
There was also an opportunity to add new elements to the timelines of the Horus Heresy – including something unique and cataclysmic that would also explain why the Titan Legions of the 41st Millennium are both smaller and rarer than during the Great Crusade.
And so the Great Slaughter at Beta-Garmon and the Titandeath were born.
References to Beta-Garmon were seeded into Forge World’s Horus Heresy series, establishing it as a major cluster of worlds on the path to Terra – a natural stopping point for Horus’ forces before the final battle – and across a variety of Black Library’s Horus Heresy stories, its importance was further emphasised. In Gav Thorpe’s Weregeld (in the Corax anthology), the Raven Guard primarch found out about the Imperial muster at Beta-Garmon – a thread followed up in the audio drama Valerius. Guy Haley’s short story Duty Waits referenced some of the immense battles on that world. And in Wolfsbane, also by Guy, we finally found out the Imperium’s plan for holding and bloodying the traitor forces there.
That all leads to Guy’s latest Horus Heresy novel, Titandeath, coming this December, which will be essential reading for all Adeptus Titanicus players, giving unparalleled insights into the battles at Beta-Garmon. We asked Guy about the creative process behind Titandeath, and he was only too happy to answer.
Guy: One of my favourite aspects of this job is getting to work with other people. I started my professional life as part of a small, creative team, eventually coming to run one in the shape of White Dwarf. Times change. As an author, I work alone, like an aelf wanderer, or a sad lost grot. The flexibility writing gives to my life is beyond worth, but I do hanker after collaboration with others, and when I wrote Titandeath, I got that in spades!
From the beginning, the links between Adeptus Titanicus and Titandeath were strong. Andy Hoare and Owen Barnes placed the game firmly in the Horus Heresy, just like the original. However, nowadays the Heresy era is a vast and detailed setting. As they were working on various war zones and histories of the period, I was writing a book detailing Beta-Garmon, the location of the largest Titan-on-Titan battles ever. It was natural, nay obvious, that we should put our heads together.
As I planned my novel, Andy and Owen kept up a steady stream of information coming to me. Throughout the process we talked often, thrashing out details, working out who was where, when and why. They were nothing but gracious with their toys, incorporating many of my ideas into their background for the Beta-Garmon war zone, and tweaking bits to suit the story I wanted to tell.
When creative people work together like this, the result is always stronger than an individual effort. The result is a Horus Heresy novel more firmly embedded in the gaming side of things than ever before, one that was an absolute pleasure for me to write.
Whether you want to set your games of Adeptus Titanicus during the heart of the Titandeath, or elsewhere in the Horus Heresy timeline, the Adeptus Titanicus rulebook has plenty of story hooks and ideas, as well as narrative scenarios set on Beta-Garmon, Molech and other familiar worlds from the novel series – including Mars itself.
The setting also allows you to customise your Titan Legion and accompanying Knight Houses to your tastes – will you support Horus or remain loyal to the Emperor? Will you and your friends collect different Legios or stage a civil war amongst one? The possibilities are endless – and the Horus Heresy novel series is a great place to look for ideas.

Think on the Warhammer TV twitch they confirmed they'll be separate weapon packs for the Warlord and Reaver coming out.
That's actually making the grandmaster box sound more appealing again. Knowing I won't have to buy a whole 3rd warlord to make my 2nd different from the 1st is a plus. Still, sticker shock.. I think I'd rather buy just the rules, just a warlord, then a reaver when it comes out and a bunch of warhounds when they do.
even without uopgrade packs that way apparently the warlord is insanely posable, between that and the herealdry that a warlord titan should have I expect making each titan look distinct won't be as hard as some people fear
I've been collecting pics for quite a while now, they all look very mono-pose to me.
The sprue photos are in the last WarCom article - legs are multi-part.

Dear Customer,
I'm writing to you in regards to your order with us that contains one or more Adeptus Titanicus: Grand Master Edition.
We have been advised by Games Workshop that due to unprecedented demand for the item, there is a severe worldwide shortage which is affecting all retailers. We are receiving a very small allocation of stock (around 5% of what we would normally order). They also suggested that it is highly unlikely that there will be any more stock of the item in future. As a result of this we will not be able to fulfil this part of your order at this time or in the future.
As an apology, and a gesture of good will we would be happy to offer you or Grand Master Bundle at an increased discount of 30% off (as opposed to the already advertised 20% off). This bundle would therefore be priced at £161 and includes:
1x Adeptus Titanicus: Civitas Imperialis
2x Adeptus Titanicus: Imperial Knights
1x Adeptus Titanicus: Rules Set
2x Adeptus Titanicus: Warlord Battle Titan
We appreciate this is not a perfect solution and as such we are happy to refund you for your order, either as store credit or to your original payment method. Please do let us know which of these three options is most preferable and we can arrange either the £21 payment per copy, or the refund.

Their external suppliers (for cardstock & transfers) keep letting them down, and their in-house facilities aren't up to speed yet - although we are seeing some transfers return.

I wouldn't put too much faith in that photo. I'm pretty sure they get the printed materials, packaging etc delivered to the UK and assemble everything where the models are produced as that's the bulk of the weight in the final product. There's no sense in shipping thousands of sprues to China to get boxes assembled with less oversight or QC, then shipping them back out again.
The box number is almost certainly referring to the packages within a shipping container, which will be carrying a either wide range of GW stock or printed supplies for GW to use. It won't all be Titanicus.
Panda have UK sites, so it's possible they're doing all the work - but I don't know.

See for yourself.
Sorry, I should have been more specific - The Traitor dice have the Eye of Horus on them. Did anyone there get a look at what the opposite symbol is on the Loyalist dice is?

Raptor Scout and Warrior Battle Titans have been heavily hinted at (while the Warbringer Nemesis is a few years off). I'm wondering if we'll see more resin 'upgrades' (Chaos panels for Titans or AdMech options for Knights) first.

That's what I'm worried about - having unbuilt Knights and wanting more...
I seem to remember the 40k Tzaangors were only a few quid more that the AoS ones and included 2 upgrade sprues (which are £8 each separately) before they were dropped. Not sure what else there is to compare against.

Yeah, they do seem to be badly under-pointed (and there's no reason to take a 'normal' Porphyrion over an Asterius).

This is a possibility. Have a look at the Traitor Titans of Legend cards - the group shot has them all saying "Left Arm" whereas the closeup of Hammer of Tyrants has "Belicosa Volcano Cannon", not "Left Arm".

Rapier, Nightgaunts and Carnivores & Seige Titans were all mentioned in the Titandeath novel, and the Punisher (tripod) Titan was in Beast Arises - The Beast Must Die.

True - once the Knight weapons are released (including the Cerastus options and the Asterius) there's not much else. There's rumours of Chaos conversion kits but we've not seen anything yet. Also, the last I heard was that the Warbringer Nemesis Titan was still years off.
