Not sure if this would even COUNT as News and Rumor, so feel free to lock this thread if it doesn't count, or if this topic has already been discussed.
In any case, my Forge World Newsletter email came in today, and with it was the solution to that jigsaw puzzle thing they've been doing the last few times....
This is what they showed us. To me it looks like a standard Malcador chassis, armed with the Inferno gun you ususally can only buy for Titans. I'd say Flamestorm Cannon, but the gun just looks a tad oversized to be that....

It's been discussed, we just haven't had the full image until now. It looks cool to me - I hope that it has sponsons on both sides unlike that absurd Valdor or whatever the big laser cannon one is called. I suspect that the join between the tank and the fuel tank will be as brittle as all feth, so perhaps it would be wiser to not stick it on and/or magnetise it.
Otherwise the gun looks suitably beefy and altogether absurd - perfect for the Guard really.

Got that right...but the base BASE chasis is still a Malcador.  It does like a Valdor where they ripped out the tank gun and just stuck a really big flamethrower in its place....I'm actually quite pleased with this model. Looks very nice. Very over the top. Very Imperial.

Re: sponsons, the valdor was missing it's left, which this thing has - so I'm guessing it has both.
Unless this is missing it's right, and they're supposed to drive side-by-side or something.

It could be really good, if it uses the giant flamer template for apoc. Just roll up and melt whole swarms!

I cant see a flamr that size NOT using the flamestorm template, to be honest - possibly S7 AP2 levels?

What stats does the actual Titan flamer have? Do you think FW will take the easy route and just mount the same gun with the same stats on a tank to save time?

S7 AP3, Hellstorm Template is the Inferno Gun. I could see them just doing that...I mean, that's kind of the theme for Imperial superheavy tanks, no? Each one mounts a Titan class weapon along with some smaller doodads.

Warhound-size Flamer is exactly like the Hellhounds, except 1.5x Range, Hellstorm template, +1 Str, - 1 AP
The Valdor tank hunter? Piece of Sh*t. 1 Side sponson, what the fu..? Not even a destroyer weapon, but str 10... has to hit with regular guard bs 3... at least it is ordnance... No special rules against super heavies whatsoever.... Shock Pulse may be nice, but with a S 10 Ap 1 ordnance primary weapon, I suspect to OVERKILL a normal vehicle..
I'd get 2 Destroyer Tank Hunters anytime instead of this thing..

A large magnetic ball bearing and a magnetic washer/ring would make a good coupling as it would allow the trailer to be flexible when going across tabletop terrain. Shouldn't be too hard to attach.
As a model, it's just jumped to just under the vulkan megabolter Macharius on my "to buy" list as it'll be nice against Arakasi's Orks

i never realized the valdor was missing one sponson. that is a strange and undesirable design choice indeed...

Sadly, it now means I should have bought the Titan Flame Weapon for me 'Cereberus' when I thought of it a year ago. Bah humbug!
Still, very pretty.
