The reference sheet doesn't have the combat sequence, kinda odd since that seems like something that will initially need to be referenced a lot...unless it's a lot simpler than I was thinking it would be.

what do you mean combat sequence? because the turn sequence is there

I mean the steps to make an attack like how the Necromunda sheet has declare shot, roll to hit, roll to wound, target pinned, resolve/apply damage etc. I don't really get how you shoot and apply damage in this game yet.

Ahh, we'll have to see how it works out then.

intreasting stuff there

Soooooo keen

A few things from the last few pages:

(1) I'm sure it's no mistake that the weapon and armor plate sprues are separate from the skeleton. It allows them to sell a variety of upgrade sprues, both weapons and titan customization for characters and Chaos.

(2) Those that are looking for wrecks to place on bases could pick up some old Epic minis - some crap ones, not at collector's prices.

(3) Even if the Titans have relatively static poses, the fact that the skeleton is separate from the armor should make reposing fairly easy.

one intreasting thought about the skelliton being seperate from the plates is it might be easy for them to create new types of titans based on the bare skelliton.

do we know if the AT release will be take two weeks for pre orders; and if not, what can we expect the 18th?

No clue, we've not heard anything of a 2 week order window, did they do it for other specialsit games?

Preorder is one week. Release is on the 18th. #soon.

what can we expect for pre orders next week? ... I'm so clueless as to what could possibly be next, given middle earth is expected the week after (and possibly the start of SW/primaris wave 2)

oddly I kinda hope Orks is before space wolves and they get a decent amount of releases. I'm gonna need time to "digest" AT

I think Soul Wars and Dark Imperium have been the only two week windows. I reckon they'll cram a codex release in between this and LOTR. Prob Wolves? I'm sure they said on WHTV we'd see all the first wave of AT in a few months so I reckon Reaver 18th, warhound 25th, prob some kind of add on book September for other legions.

Honestly I'd be happy if they held off the other titins for a few weeks... least till my next pay cheque

way too early to bring next AT wave

They said a little while back that the Reaver would follow 'about a month' after AT, and the Warhound would be a month or two after that.

I don't think we'll see a 2nd AT wave until September, with the next Killteam sets filling the gap between now and the new codex reveals at Warhammerfest Europe.

They said months, not weeks So it'll be the Reaver in September, then the Warhounds in October. What follows next is unknown, probably weapon sprues, maybe a chaos-warped armor sprue and/or a campaign book.

AFAIK the Specialist Games releases run parallel to the main releases, so the codices should be just fine

Yeah rather than several weeks of releases in a row like a 40k or AoS army, AT is more likely to see new stuff one week per month.
Which is a bit healthier for my wallet

yeah I'm inclined to just buy the rules and a warlord too. the GM set is just an insane amount of money

Insane, because its a two player box. Thats what people should understand. GM is not a must have to start with this!

Buying Ruleset, Warlord and Knights is much cheaper, compared with starting another army for 40k.

I managed to get the two Warlords put together last night, and very nice they look too!



I put a few quick notes together on how building them went: https://ttgamingdiary.wordpress.com/2018/08/10/the-god-machines-walk/

Aiming to get them painted up before the weekend is out!

Similar exercise for the Stratagems & Objectives Cards, there are 24 of them. Due to light reflection on the cards, I am less confident I got all right, one is quite unreadable. This said, this would compile as follows:


24 Stratagems & Objectives Cards

Mission Objectives

Vital Cargo
Hold The Line
Engage & Destroy
Glory & Honour
Retrieval

Stratagems (aka Tricks & Tactics)

Thermal Mines
Sabotage
Outflank
Voidbreaker Field
Outflank
Noble Sacrifice
Thermal Mines (??? barely readable due to light reflection, not sure at all it is another Thermal Mines)

Ranged Support

Artillery Bombardment
Blind Barrage
Orbital Lance Strike

Battlefield Assets (for which there are models as well in both the GME and Rules Set)

Command Bastion
Communications Relay
Void Shield Relay
Plasma generator
Apocalypse Missile Strongpoint
Macro Cannon Battery

Tertiary Objectives

Cripple The Foe
A Score To Settle
Decapitating Strike


Sounds good fun and lots of possibilities

Did you magnetise them for weapon swaps down the road?

Nah, never do that - I feel magnetising for weapons would be too easy an excuse not to build up a huge army where every option can be fielded at once

(I may have issues, I admit. - but I also tend to end up with very large armies...)

Will be interesting to see if the CAD designs for these weapons are also done with 28mm in mind.

I agree it is an easy excuse but these are not mutually exclusive, you can still magnetise and end up with very large armies ;-)

Absolutely. I think a warhound might be coming in 28mm, once the resin molds have too much wear. We are seeing many bigger plastic kits these days so I would not be surprised at all

Ooh. Bung it in the Resizeograph!

Nice.

Regarding the terrain, some pics from FB:




That is one big sprue and one small sprue. GME box has four times that. The larger city box has eight.

From the reference sheet it seems that 25% concealment gives -1 to hit you and 50% gives -2, so even a Warlord will benefit from reasonable buildings that aren't huge scyscrapers.
