Must admit, I don't like the Mars pattern look for the Imperator. I'm much fonder of the classic look

Spoiler:

I'm very much the opposite. I find it looks goofy and proportionally awkward. I also find it disconcerting that the design language of the classic Imperator is so dramatically different from any of the others.

Imho the classic Imperator is improved by about 1000% once you break up that straight horizontal line at the base of the 'castle' - that line is there for miniature-casting and modelling reasons, and kills all sense of scale and suspension of disbelief instantly. Even slight alterations to it are very effective, and most not-Imperators done by scratchbuilders or alternative producers arrive at changing it by accident.

Posted in the Epic thread, but all Mechanicum Knights, Armigers and Dire Wolves have disappeared from the Forgeworld site as has the Warhound Volkite, Ursus Claw and Shock Lance weapons.

Incoming plastic Mechanicum Knights?

You're probably right (it makes sense) but also bear in mind GW are relocating to their new warehouse and distribution hub this weekend so I expect a lot of stuff will simply disappear from their web pages until the move is complete.

Also, FW is kind of an unknowable entity and does random and weird stuff with their online store all the time - if there's no Last Chance to Buy announcement, don't interpret too much into random fluctuations.

I mean, its not like it has official rules anyway, if its "game breaking" its because the house rules are OP.

Nah. There's only so big units each ruleset can make work balanced. Go too big and they are either criminally undercosted or automatically lose generally to the scenario.

Like titans in 40k which either lose by scenario without opponent needing to roll dice or are so criminally undercosted that while they can work vs infantry army just invalidates vehicle heavy armies, knights etc.

In same way the imperator would break AT. Needing 3 warlord titans to face one up either it's going to lose to scenario and be 1 activation or it's criminally underpointed compared to firepower/durability.

You can't make balanced warhound to kill team. Neither can you not break game by too big titans in AT.

Items vanishing from the website like this means reboxing / re-issuing under a new SKU.

There's a lot of potential for change in the AT product range. It could just mean we get updated packaging and the new style bases. It might mean the models are boxed with command terminals now, like the Warmaster.

Given the release model we saw for LI kits yesterday on top of last year's HH releases, a reboxing might even result in significant changes to how AT models are distributed. For example, rather than a ~£30 box with 2-3 knights it's entirely possible those become ~£50 boxes with 4-6 knights.

That would be bloody awesome.

All AT is gone from the main sight too.
Probably getting rebranding and Imperialis

The Acastus Knight terminal pack is now sold out and no longer available...

Did they ever update them with the FAQ?

They did, but they still need a complete overhaul.

They were the wrong point cost and missing aux rules, faq added those, oddly that didn't stop gw from selling them in sets of 5 for a knight banner you can run 1 of per maniple, i mean who doesn't play 5 maniple games lol

Its also one of the three core knights and banned from lances, unless taken as the Senechal. In titan terms it was like banning Warlords from maniples.

Nice, all of those look like valid alternatives to existing Warhound guns.

They look very cool. The Swarmer missiles are a nice alternative to Vulcans and pair nicely with some of the longer range weapons like Grav and Beamer weapons.

I'm not sure on the Melta Weapons. Six inch Fusion and a 10" Maximum range is pretty damn close and -1 to hit over 6" isn't great. They're OK, just not as mean as Plasma or even Beamer weapons.

Actually, I think the melta is potentially very spicy. Two dice S9 fusion with no reactor push?

Context matters...I can see the range being an issue in a maniple that wants to sit back more. My Audax though tend to play close to the enemy, so there will definitely be opportunities.

Warhounds are really becoming a Swiss army knife now due to all these weapon options.

Shame they went with plasticizing the volkite rather than grav or c-beam, but apart from tht I have no complaints about this release, the new options are all good and interesting, I'd go as far as to say they're better designed and differentiated than some OG weapons, especially the Reaver arm class guns.

Is it fair to assume this means that they won't be including the physical cards when the warhound box comes out on its own? We know the re-branding will have them with legions imperialis artwork and the new bases. Has anyone been able to confirm the re-boxing of the other titans still had cards and terminals?

This download is for the people who buy the LI starter set that comes without any AT rules. Most likely these cards are exactly what we'll get in the box when warhounds are released separately

It is my understanding they will release with cards and with both styles of bases included. What we don't know is whether it will have both weapon sprues with a chunky price hike (like 40k Questoris, Baneblades etc) or will there be two boxes like the Reaver and Warlord.

The new Swarmer and Melta options are nice.

Yeah its just has anyone seen if the re-packaged titans still come with both bases/terminals/cards?

Reaver and Warlord only came with Imperialis bases but did have their Terminals and weapon cards.

That's true. I like the Beamer for the same reason. The fact that you could also target an area with them as well is quite horrific. I'll certainly give them a go, I think I just prefer the style of Plasma and Beamer. Maybe when I finally get around to doing my Ignatum I'll give them a go. If only Warhounds had a combat weapon.

They really are. There's loads of options to chose from. I like the idea of have 1 with 2 missiles to shred shields from a distance.

What are people thinking of Shudder missiles? Are they worth the hefty price tag?

Shudders seem like something you take when you want to troll people with melee Warlords or Warmasters.

Especially if you run Legio Krytos and take the stratagem that allows quake to affect shielded targets

Return of the dice and titan transfer sheets! A truly momumental release for Adeptus Titanicus...

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/01/14/sunday-preview-deathwing-assault/

I'm gonna assume the decals are Direct Only for certain and dice are a coin toss.

Both dice and transfers are welcome restocks.

Dice are a little surprising as they're AT only and not dual use with LI.
