Same here with 40k Knights imminent and Titanicus on the horizon

No Warhounds though, knights, reavers and warlords. :-)

That's a surprise, right?

Sizes (from a distance ) look sweet, though!

Box as 2 reaver and 2 knights vs warlord and 4 knights maybe?

I think there's two warhounds directly to the right of the reaver. They are blobs bigger than the knights but too blurry and blend in with the stuff behind it. I don't think that is starter box teasing, just showing stuff off.

I'm so excited! And I just can't hide it! (Sproing!)

More specialist games that will flare up and die off? Awesome, bring it on.

If GW really thinks they can support all of these games and keep their main game fans happy, then more power to them. I have little faith, thanks to GW's track record.

Where have you been for the last two years? This was originally going to be an all-resin release but the popularity 18 months ago caused them to recalibrate their expectations and ambitions and go for a plastic starter. Since then (with the increased accessibility of plastic driving it) the game has only gotten more anticipated.

Right, I know that, but when Necromunda released, it was only about a month before people started complaining about the rules. How long will this game take before people start complaining about the rules, lack of updates, lack of the army that they want represented, etc? This is GW we're talking about. I like their games as much as the next lurker on this forum, but this is the same company that decided to kill off all their specialist games just a few years ago and is now suddenly bringing everything back. I just see a repeat of the same in a year or two. :/

I think the thing is they need to be realistic about their vision for this game. Keeping it Titans and war machines, with a solid range of models is enough. I don't care to see it turn into something like epic, or have mini space marines etc. They need to keep it focused, otherwise it'll become a bloated convoluted mess that no one wants to dare touch.

The game will sit and rot and quietly be put on last chance to buy like all that horus heresy stuff that wasn't selling. GW has no problem culling stuff that simply isn't making enough $ or worth supporting. I think they would have dropped all the LOTR stuff by now if they weren't stuck in a contract until it expires (or something like that).

Their support for BB and Necromunda is fine, both are going to continue getting releases throughout the near future, or at least until the end of the year. GW dropping all specialist games from their stores is slightly concerning. But I understand that their one man staff might be overwhelmed having to support all these games and learn the rules for them.

Plastic which means a different model I think - no masters which are the big issue for resin models. And plastic is in an odd place at the moment with things cycling in and out of stock.

Think as long as the FW guys want to play it, it'll exist. Reckon it'll even get at least one expansion like Aeronautica did at the very least.

The Titanicus box are seems to ba a red titan vs a blue titan, and the city terrain has it's own box, shown behind them....

Boi, I might have to buy these stompy robots

I am very hype for this game.

Ok sorry in advance has it been discussed, that PP is bringing back Monsterpocalyps?? It feels like they are shooting for very close releases

Specialist Games is a completely different team to the main game teams.

Looks like a Warlord is about 15cm tall. I can work with that.

In the queue for the event. Got the programme for the event. It's all stuff thst we've seen. No images of titans, no new forgeworld stuff other than what was previewed. Will update as more info becomes available. ;-)

Epic armageddon had it all and rather than bloated mess it was best ruleset gw has released...

Battlebunnies

From Twitter!

This is gonna be fun.

Looks like they've done a realm of battle!

No warhounds visibile at all. Quite odd not to do those in plastic when the rest is.

Wonder if we'll see them

Harder than terminator armour right now, god damn those are gorgeous.

Info dump time:

All three major classes of titan are slated for release. First release in "about three to four months" according to the team.
Warlords are coming first, month after that will be reavers, then two months later it's warhounds. Six Knights and two Warlords in the core game.
Warhound is not in the cabinets today.

The buildings look like plastic versions of the card stock that came with the original set.. very nice! Possibly modular?

Warhounds were the last to be designed, which is the reason for the schedule.

Buildings are multipart modular plastics, will come i single and multi sprue packs.

Knights are three on a single sprue.

All of the titans have had three sets of shoulder armor made. Titanicus logo, eye of horus and blank, for freehanding.
