Pinched a pic from the AT FB group 'Tides linked to earlier. Unless the photographer has hands of Trumpian proportions, the Reaver still looks like it's a little bigger than a Contemptor.

Probably slightly larger than a contemptor. Still reckon the warlord is about leviathan sized

All 3 side by side next to a Chaos Bloodbowl mini

And Contemptor vs Leviathan vs Knight from my own stores..

There's no way, even if the Reaver is bang on the same size as a Contemptor, the Warlord is Leviathan sized I'm afraid.

So, Armiger sized then...

There is something great about seeing titans in plastic, so glad they decided to go the extra mile and avoid resin, means I will be buying a starter set or two!

The amount of detail they have squeezed into the models is incredible, the cute little Knights are a work of art.

I'm loving it all
It would be funny to see all the weapons that haven't been released for 40k scale Titans on them

Barrage missiles, harpoons, tridents, Corvus assault pods, landing pads, death strike cannons, etc


Though, one thing I've noticed - weapon selections are limited for the warlord or at least appear to be. They're all armed with apocalypse launchers and volcano cannons

The Reavers looks so dopey and clumsy - they were always, always my favorite titans, but this iteration draws way too heavily from the big forge world Reavers, not enough from the originals, I think. That Power-Mitten is gonna give me a fit.

Agreed. Way too much influence from the ugly Forgeworld Reavers. Hopefully there will at least be some better looking alternate heads and pauldrons.

Personally I love how fw took the old warhound, reaver, and warlord epic models.and took out the ridiculous elements and made them look like functional and dangerous war engines, while retaining the feel of the orig9nals.

Resin upgrades are one option, but i,d prefer some character sized upgrade sprues for alternate gun load outs for the reaver/ warlords.

Even on the box art the Warlords only have that one loadout. I wonder if there will be resin options for other weapons, or maybe an extra sprue with the individual model?

Reavers have a bit more choice. Carapace apocalypse launcher with arm choices of power fist, laser blaster or Gatling blaster

And they are also not in the starter box, which makes me think the Warlord options were intentionally limited for the set to meet content/price point requirements.

This game just makes me wish they would further scale down everything and remake EPIC 40k.

One step at a time. There's only so many Knights, Titans and weapons they can do. They mentioned that this is set during the Horus Heresy "initially". That gives me hope for Gargants and Eldar Titans. I can even see them adding in super heavies like Baneblades, Fellglaives and the like.

Yes you can. Once we got the weapon range for imperial knight, then we can compare with full scale knight weapon range.
Do math and find the radio.

Apply new range radio to current 40k data sheet movement and weapons range!

Find the good details model of tiny space marine and guardman? Won’t be easy..

I can't say I'm too excited, because overall I've never been a fan of titan designs as much as I have knight designs.

Maybe I'll get a few loose knights or something and put them together for fun, or maybe there will be a 'kill-team' version of this I can use them. I can't invest in a fourth GW game, regardless.

Well, they could always go with 15mm if they do remake EPIC 40k at some point, small enough to still allow for huge armies going at it without needing a 30ft by 30ft table and big enough to still get some detail on the ground troops. Check out the ~Joan of Arc kickstarter to see what 15mm can look like nowadays.

@Leaky_cheese on twitter has some nice close ups I didn't notice in this thread: https://twitter.com/Leaky_cheese/status/995419383865462784

Those are some great kits for Titanicus. I'm glad that we are seeing some models for the game now.

I'd love new versions of all of this sort of stuff, including the close combat heads.

15mm is roughly 1/100 scale (the scale used for Flames of War), so a modern M1A1 Abrams would still be almost four inches long. 15mm would still be too big for the larger war engines.

Scale shot.

Imperial Knight is 28 mm tall. Cool!

A bit bigger. They look to be on 30mm bases, so would be closer to Terminator sized. Possibly a fraction smaller, but definitely bigger than the original Knights, which were the same size as a regular Space Marine.

You can make mkiv marines in 6mm these days

So, based on the 32mm base size of the doomlord, the warlord is about 14cm tall and the reaver about 9cm to the top of their missile pods.

I know I am out of the loop, but I thought from rumours months ago, that there will be no minis in the starter set. Has that changed? I thought we had to buy the minis separately and all the "starter set" is, is rules and what not with no minis.

The starter comes with the rules, 2 Warlords and 6 Knights, and some scenery, I believe.

That changed because Blood Bowl did so well. Now we get everything in plastic and the starter is 2 Warlords, 6 Knights, Buildings and all the rules etc

I could see the warlord not being imperial Knight sized as there is another Titan left to do that is larger.

You are both correct. Two options.
