this may make me seem like a blind idiot but what is the difference between the jackal and wolf class titans from forge world?

Do you mean apart from the cosmetic differences of the "head"?

is it just the head? and yes the looks

I >think< that's it. The FW paper catalog shows the entire body of the Jackal class (with optional megabolter and inferno cannon), but the inset for the Wolf class only shows the head with part of the optional plasma blastgun.

There are two types of Warhound titan, Mars Pattern and Lucius Pattern. The heads on the two types are slightly different, and the bodies vastly different, primarily in the carapace. This whole Jackal/Wolf class titan thing I think you're pulling out of thin air. Unless I've been looking at the wrong website for oh, 5 or six years or so there IS no Jackal and no Wolf class titan.
Maybe I've been looking in the wrong place? I certainly hope not.

You are quite mistaken. While they are both Lucius pattern, Forgeworld has both a Jackle and Wolf Warhound on their website.

This is the Jackle Class Warhound (Lucius Pattern):



This is the Wolf Class Warhound (also Lucius Pattern).



Just out of curiocity, how many void shields is a Warhound supposed to have? I see four on these but only two on the Mars pattern.

Warhounds get two void shields. Call each generator "half" a shield?

RAW, they have 2 shields, but you could follow WYSIWYG you could claim that there's 4.

Sorry if I somehow annoyed you. I felt it was a valid question, since I have yet to see a response that actually answers the OP's question as to how the two are different apart from the aesthetics of the head.

I think he was agreeing with you, dude.

Jackal is the body type, with Wolf and Lucius refering to loadouts. The other body type is the Mars which has curved armor and is alot more baroque looking as opposed to futuristic. That's the one I like.

Nah, Lucius is the body type, wolf and jackal are the different loadouts. Apart from that there's the minor differences in the head, as mentioned. It's possible there's some other minor cosmetic difference between the two, but I've no idea.

Yeah, Lucius and Mars are the different patterns (both Lucius and Mars are Forge Worlds, where these are produced). Jackal and Wolf are just slightly different variants- there doesn't seem to be any set rule on weapon loadouts that I've seen.

It's pretty odd that the Wolf and Jackal were both made really- all I can notice is the different cockpit section (the Jackal has a bunched up 'snout', whereas the Wolf has a more angular head).

so it is just the head

well, part of the reason that the Wolf and Jackal were both made, dispite the only difference in the two really being the heads, I think it was only this summer, that forgeworld started selling the weapon arms by them selves. So, Before that, they only way to get the other weapons, was to get the other class of titan... Maximizeing profit anyone?
