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

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!

Cool!

**Mendi Warrior**

I agree it is an easy excuse but these are not mutually exclusive, you can still magnetise and 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.

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

**Mendi Warrior**

xttz wrote:
I was genuinely starting to wonder if the reason they held back on the warhound reveal was due to an updated 40k version being developed alongside it. Could still happen I guess.

Yeah, I think it could happen. I would not hold my breath waiting though.

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.

Do you know how many components have been used for these buildings?

I counted 38 components in the large sprue and 13 in the small one, seems to be less in total here.

There were 3 different heights and widths ranging from 1 to 3 "units" (for lack of precise measurement). What I call "High Walls with door (2 units)" is what you see on the left building, "Walls with doors (2 units)" is the lower part of the one in the middle, "Low Walls (1 unit)" is the top part of the one on the right.

Buildings - large sprue 38
High Walls (1 unit) 4
High Walls with door (1 unit) 2
High Walls (2 units) 0
High Walls with door (2 units) 1
Low Walls (1 unit) 9
Low Walls (2 units) 1
Floor (1 unit) 4
Floor (2 units) 1
Floor (3 units) 1
High Connectors 5
Connectors 2
Low Connectors 6
Buttresses 2

Buildings - small sprue 13
Walls (1 unit) 5
Walls with doors (1 unit) 1
Walls (2 units) 1
Walls with doors (2 units) 1
Floor (1 unit) 1
Floor (2 units) 1
Connectors 3

Sherrypie wrote:

Sadly, I don't. Pleasantly surprised if the sprues do indeed hold a bit more than just that, as I'm starting to lean towards getting the larger citybox and using the bits for all sorts of scratchbuilt goodies.

My exact same thinking ;-)

Looking at the pictures, you should be left mainly with connectors (likely 14, all 3 heights), a couple of floor elements (equivalent to 5 squared "units") and a 1-unit wide low wall. Not enough for an additional building but to pimp some plasticard walls that should help.

Anything about destroying terrain to clear LoS? E.g. structural integrity points for various buildings?

In a nutshell, yes - and they recommend combining those rules with the Stray Shots rule, and playing it in a dense urban environment :0

Sounds extremely cool, envisioning a few knights falling from a destroyed bridge …

Any damages from destroyed buildings on other units? Thinking along the line of a reactor going critical and destroying all around (although much less powerful of course)

No, but the way these rules have been done I would not be surprised to see things like this added in supplements (this game has a huge amount of potential, hoping GW capitalise on it).

I feel the same way, crossing fingers for it to succeed

Was hoping that with so many preview copies sent out someone would list the weapons cards in the box as the GW direct pack has 28 cards for the Warlord split across 10 weapons so it'd be great to know the quantities in the GME

I actually did, it is a couple of pages ago (page 96), also the Stratagems and Objectives a little bit later. The additional card pack is Warlord only.

Spoiler:

The description for the Warlord weapons card pack lists 26 cards:

- 2 carapace mounted bolter array cards;
- 2 carapace mounted paired turbo laser destructor cards;
- 2 carapace mounted paired laser blaster cards;
- 2 carapace mounted paired gatling blaster cards;
- 2 carapace mounted apocalypse missile launcher cards;
- 4 arm mounted Belicosa volcano cannon cards;
- 4 arm mounted Sunfury plasma annihilator cards;
- 2 arm mounted Mori quake cannon cards;
- 3 arm mounted Arioch Titan power claw cards;
- 3 arm mounted macro-gatling blaster cards.

**Mendi Warrior**

I think these are the first sets of terrain and we can expect some sector Mechanicus style components for industrial districts. I would not be surprised to also see some "bigger" buildings, basilicanum style, to show up down the road. Otherwise there are plenty of conversion possibilities I guess.

it's possiable depends on how sucessful AT is, I think these ALONE for a city won't work, but as the main part representing hab blocks etc I think they'll be alright. then you can add a bit more awesomeness by tracking down an N scale cathedral from somewhere. One thing to consider is if buildings are destructable you don't want anything tooo elaborate as you'll be wanting something you can quickly and easily remove from the board.

I agree. Curious to see how the FW epic buildings will fare next to these. I have a couple, including the cathedral, as well as some remaining sprues of the plastic ruins. I guess we'll see lots of scratch built stuff as well.

Second, the marine doesn’t look in proper scale, just not unreasonably out of scale. That railing is supposed to be waist-high on a regular human, not shoulder high on a marine!
Edit: and that doesn’t even acknowledge his base which in scale to an epic infantryman is about an extra 8inches in height.

Curious to see this against an epic chaos space marine (last version), they were slightly bulkier and taller. Although I think they would still be out of scale, but unreasonably as you said.

GME

Element Games was out before 10:02 UK time I think, I checked and it was already "unavailable"
Darksphere didn't listed it

Wayland is now out since around 10:30 UK time

The collector's coin was sold out at 10:17 on GW website, it was already sold out in New Zealand and Australia when I woke up a couple of hours ago, Japan is now sold out as well

Lvlup still have 25% off, and allegedly 19 in stock as of thirty seconds ago?

Me, I’m plumping just for the rules, a Warlord and a Knight Banner. Five or six local lads also buying in, so that should be plenty for me.

They are at £147.5, seems 18 remaining. EDIT: down to 14 since I started writing

UK shipping only it seems. Their shipping policy states "All orders over £75 will receive free shipping, while anything under £75 will just be £4. This is for UK shipping only, unfortunately at this time we are unable to ship overseas."

Well this is a bust, was gona pick up a copy if I could get it for £140 or less.
Goblin gaming & darksphere didn't even list it
Wayland and firestorm have it at full price (bloody scalpers)
Element games sold out inside of a minute
and the outpost website died hard.

Guess I'll be waiting six months for the reprint.

Would those at full price have sacrificed discounts for more quantities? By the way, Wayland had 5% discount via summersaver coupon.

I read somewhere 30 copies were available at Element Games, maybe the deal was "you'll get higher allocations if no discounts", I don't know.

Anyway, it seems a successful launch, now let's hope it develops into a successful long-term game

**Mendi Warrior**

A quick check on GW UK, France, Germany, Japan websites show the GME and Titanicus collection bundle all sold out, there are still some left in Australia and New Zealand

Interesting vid as the new warlord stands next to the old original one and a couple of paladin knights

Interestingly, the old knights doesn't seem to be much smaller than the new ones...

Did he show the new Knights in that vid? I didn't see it (skipped through, twice). To me the new knights seem to be halfway between the old Knight and the old reaver (from the look of that old reaver he has there).

Unfortunately not.

He has also another video where he plays a battle with the old paladin knights and an imperator standing as a warlord, the new warlord is bulkier than the imperator, posted earlier by Sherrypie

If those are the same bases (and they probably are) I was quite wrong: the new knights do seem to be significantly bigger. Their footprint will be quite similar, though.

He mentions in the video that he based the paladin knights on similarly-sized bases as the new knights and they are about 2/3 of the new ones (around 11:25 in the vid)

It's a small processing unit that deals with the local collection and distribution of written articles as produced by the Imperium related to the moral of His most loyal Legion. That door opens at the terminus of each solar day to allow a transport unit to collect those papers and carry them forth to the Regiments.

It's a flat balcony window; the mighty doors open to reveal a large window with a small railing; allowing those within to take pause in the days duties and to bask in the light of civilization that the most Holy Emperor has brought to this world.

The Legio Tempestus can deploy Titans by drop-pod(!) (up to Scale 6 or less, so no Warlords)

Pure speculation: a FW titan drop pod model? One for warhounds, one for reavers? Stretching it, one for knights?

In view of the Warlord at £65, I would not be surprised to see the Reaver around £50-55 and a pair of warhounds around £40-45. So £20-22.5 if sold alone. I also envision all 4 weapon types being present in the set. For the reaver the sprue is out there.

While I haven't seen the rules yet, given what I've read in the BL books, I'd say this is unlikely.

Titans don't just hop out of drop pods, ala Space Marines.

Unlikely indeed, but for Reavers and Warhounds from Legio Tempestus, the rule exists as pointed out by Mr_Rose. So that is an example of a very specific product that I would see in resin rather than plastic. Extremely limited as far as who can use it, probably just "nice to have" for a visual effect (unless an expansion adds some kind of support rules). As I said, pure speculation from my part.

I'd expect warhound at 2 for $75 with probably all 4 weapons for each, and $65 to $75 for the reaver with 3 or 4 arm weapons and apoc carapace mount

The reaver sprue is already out there. 2 guns, Gatling Blaster and Laser Blaster. 1 Power Fist with option for close and open palm.

I hope I'm not imagining it but does that piece in the bottom left look like the muzzles of a carapace mounted mega bolter?

I am afraid that part is only the back of the missile pod.

Mr Morden wrote:

Knights have Drop Castles - now that could be a sweet model (or board )

Definitely, some people will scratch-build such models, that would indeed be sweet

For what it's worth, the reaver's head and weapons sprue with coloured dots for the components of the head and the different weapons (no dots = no idea where it goes)

**Mendi Warrior**

That is quite likely indeed

But as TwilightSparkles said that would add an interesting aspect to the game, obviously as part of advanced rules, and it should beyond being restricted to a single legion

Who wouldn't love to see the face of his/her opponent if when deploying a Reaver titan by drop pod it lands on top of a banner of knights or a smaller titan and flattens them out in the process?

Of course, I disagree on the above remarks - Cawly Sue wouldn't just bumpull eleventy-bajillion Titans out of his shed, they'd be Primarititans, better than your blase normie Titans in every way and also cooler and betterer and they'd beat up your dad as well

Primarititans ??? How crap, do you mean we gonna have to rescale our new shiny warlords to have them really true scale?

**Mendi Warrior**

Yes, only one card of each type for the warhounds

For warhounds, the old version of AT also allowed multiple rocket launchers

There are 4 of the Warlord Arm - Belicosa Volcano Cannon cards and 2 of the Warlord Carapace - Apocalypse Missile Launcher cards, which corresponds to the weapons included in the GME box, all the other weapon options are a single card each

No mention in the warlord weapon cards of a chainfist (there was one in the old version of Adeptus Titanicus), nor of an inferno gun for the reaver (again, that was an option in the old version)

How many other weapon cards are doubled or quadrupled up like the Warlord's default weapons? I'm particularly looking at the Warhound here, as that cards supplied could indicate how many of each weapon come in the kit.

I think we can expect an additional deck of weapon cards for the Reaver and Warhounds, I would imagine a combined deck @ £7.5 like the one for the Warlord
