I'll be happy to see the rest of the weapon options for the existing titans. We have a grand total of 2 carapace weapons represented, out of at least 7

What happens to Adeptus Titanicus after the initial release will depend entirely on sales.

Of course GW is not going to commit to anything until they see how things go with the initial release.

However, if it sells at least as well as Blood Bowl did, I think we can look forward to some interesting support.

In a way, WE are now the driving factor behind future support.

Looks like somebody has discovered the text format buttons on the reply page.

It's been said that HH era is intially the setting. Its obvious they'll expand to 40k. They wouldnt keep the same knights units, as nothing would change. So a 40k setting later must include xenos. Am I wrong to assume this?

They haven't promised moving into 40K though.

But the important thing to think about is that it's FW. If 40K titans aren't already in the works, it's going to be quite a while before we see them. There seems to be this idea that 40K titans are coming right on the heels of the 30K stuff. They spent a year moving three titans and the knights from resin to plastic. One would therefore think that 40K titans are probably a few years away.

If FW move AT from 30 to 40K then they won't really have to touch the titans. Titans are huge walking weapons that last through the ages. So they won't need to update them in any way. This means if they expand to 40K they only have to focus really on adding the Xeno factions - which would be the primary reason to move toward the 40K setting.

Right...but the bare minimum for that would probably be something like two titans each for Eldar and Orks. Which is four kits, and there are four titan kits in this release. They'd probably give us more than two each, mind you. And if Chaos is to be a faction, they'd want to develop upgrade kits for the heresy titans. The advantage of the heresy setting is the same as it was with the original release...both sides can use the same miniatures. 40K makes all of that more complicated.

The point is...it's going to take them time even if they started today. And if you pay attention to FW's development times...it's just not something I'd hold my breath for like some people seem to be.

Heretical mutated armour plate kits are almost certainly already in the works, possibly just waiting on sell-through feedback to determine how many to cast for the initial batch.

it's happening!

So the Axiom Maniple shows a Warlord with plasma and a fist. Hopefully this means that more weapon options for the big guy are inbound soon. Its a shame there are no prices shown. But I guess that probably means GW had not made a final decision by the time WD went to print.

**CragHack**

Are the Axioms and Warlord Titan really going to be web exclusive? Or is it something else?. That, besides Chainrasps, would be a second really weird decision, making me think of Kirby's GW.

It's been a while since I've read a copy, but that doesn't look like the normal "here's the things and what they cost" pages, so it might be in another part of the magazine.

The warlord model is not web exclusive - the warlord command terminal pack and weapon cards are web exclusive.

Note that that maniple pack is also command terminals, not models.

The question is - do the models come with command terminals? If they do then the Web only packs are purely for people using non-official models.

**TwilightSparkles**

GW did same with AOS Soul Wars - no prices in White Dwarf plus not all the releases were even in WD prior to release.

**zedmeister**

Nice

In a recent video ( I think the unboxing one from the FW open day ) one of the game designers says that most options in the weapon cards at launch are covered by plastic add-on kits planned within the next few months. There are a few exceptions that would likely be in resin - he specifically mentioned the warp missile for this.

**Malika2**

Does the Axiom pack include different bits or just rules/cards?

The server has difficulties so I only link to these WD pics

**BrianDavion**

Mighta been something I missed earlier but what are "command terminals"?

**Warhams-77**

The titans' datacards, consoles with energy, damage and other settings, marked with pins

ahh gotcha, the AT version of Battletech's mechsheets basicly.

Fire Wasps - pretty much the classic scheme:

Spoiler:

**Slinky**

It's not a Fire Wasp unless it has the classic emblem on it, IMHO

**Formosa**

How much was the grand master ed again?

Slinky wrote:

True and you must include the camo carapace!

**Souleater**

The grand master edition will come with terminal packs for the titans in the box, I presume?

Much excitement for this!

**Zethnar**

We get it GW, the promo shots are very pretty, but how about you just tell us the price already? Either we're going to hate it or we're going to love it, blue-balling us with these "leaks" isn't going to change that.

This was my Legion back in the early 90's for ESM/TL. Does anyone make decals for this nowadays?

**Slinky**

I printed those myself on decal paper, and painted in the colours by hand

Very nice! Do you have high res originals? You use laser transfer paper? Alps micro-dry?

Cheers! I found an okay-ish image, tidied it up a bit in MS Paint and gave it a go

It's laser printer stuff I bought on Amazon or eBay, not sure which.
