From Forge World's Newsletter today.

Apologies if this an old picture/thread, cursory reading of the front page revealed nothing about Forge World Newsletters or PHantom Titans.

**Kanluwen**

It's definitely new, the first finished photos of the Phantom in fact.

**Goliath**

I think Kanluwen's comment should be followed by a quick

HOLY MOLY!

**Necros**

everything is great, except for that color.. yuck.

**Kanluwen**

I like the color, it's definitely unique.

Supposedly, it'll be the colors of this "Lost" Craftworld we're seeing in IA11.

**blood angel**

I am buying that.

**dreadanant**

Thats stupidly awsome, if my table/bank account was big enough id deffeneantly get one of those.

Here's the newsletter contents besides the photo:

Hi there,
With just over a week until the 2011 Forge World Open Day at Warhammer World, we have some exciting news about the first pre-release kit that will be on sale there - the mighty Eldar Phantom Titan!

Eldar Phantom Titan on sale at the Forge World Open Day
Eldar Phantom TitanTall, slender and elegant, the Phantom is the largest known pattern of Eldar Titan. It is swift and agile in comparison to the lumbering behemoths of the Legio Titanicus, and is armed with some of the deadliest examples of Eldar weaponry.

Each Phantom is the pinnacle of Eldar warcraft. Linked to a wraithbone core containing the living spirit of its previous pilots, the single crewman of each Phantom Titan, known as a Steersman, is an Exarch dedicated to this aspect of warfare. Locked in a trance-like state, the Steersman’s consciousness merges with the spirit-sentience of the Titan, enabling the mighty war machine to react and manoeuvre with astonishing speed.

The Phantom Titan is most commonly armed with at least one immense Phantom Pulsar, a long range and rapid-firing energy weapon far superior to anything sanctioned by the Adeptus Mechanicus. The Phantom’s other primary weapon is often a Phantom D-Cannon; much larger and more powerful than similar technology used by the Cobra or Warp Hunter, it tears a seething warp-rift in the fabric of reality to engulf and utterly destroy its foe. As well as these primary weapons, the Phantom is armed with shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft and anti-personnel missile launchers as well as an additional heavy weapon; usually a long-barrelled Star Cannon or Pulse Laser. Adeptus Mechanicus logis-engines also record other primary weapons systems that have been encountered in the long history of conflict between the Imperium and the Eldar.

The Phantom Titan is the tallest war machine Forge World has ever designed. First showcased at an early stage of development at Games Day UK 2010, designer Will Hayes has now finished crafting this graceful masterpiece. Packed with lavish external and internal detail, including a stunning cockpit interior sculpted by Simon Egan, the Phantom Titan has taken a full year to complete, such is the degree of detail and workmanship that this most impressive model (we can’t call it a miniature!) boasts.

The Phantom Titan will be on sale for the very first time at the Forge World Open Day. You’ll be able to admire a fully painted example of this majestic model over on our Studio stand, where Will Hayes will also be explaining exactly how such a project is undertaken.

Full technical information and background for the Phantom Titan will be provided in Imperial Armour Volume 11: The Doom of Mymeara along with full rules for fielding what is the single most powerful model currently available in Warhammer 40,000.
At the Forge World Open Day you’ll be able to peruse a work-in-progress copy of this hotly-anticipated book on our Studio stand, as well as direct your questions to Forge World’s Book Design team, who are currently working on it.
Stay tuned to future newsletters for more details of other pre-release kits that will be available at the Open Day alongside the Phantom Titan and our Forge World and Warhammer Forge show only miniatures.

Charity Titan Raffle Update
The Forge World Open Day always gives one lucky person the chance to win a mighty Titan for a mere one pound, and this year’s event is no different. The Open Day 2011 Titan Raffle prize will be the imposing, immense, lavishly detailed Eldar Phantom Titan!

Tickets for the raffle can be only purchased at the Open Day from the Painting Competition Registration area, and the draw will be made at 3:30pm. Tickets are £1 each and you can enter as many times as you like, although you must still be at the Open Day when the draw is made to win!

You can find more details about the charity at www.worldvision.org.uk/server.php?show=nav.3001&giftId=47.

WAAAAAAYYYYY better than the old one

Come on lottery win...

**blood angel**

Correction.. I will be buying that.. at adepticon.

**FM Ninja 048**

give me a moment to pick my jaw off the floor...

right, pros: nice colors, HUGE

cons:

Questions, Can we see this next to a reaver? what's that weapon next to the nipple gem? is that alternate head open or is that just to show the details? when does it come out?

**Ma55ter_fett**

Looks nice.

A little bow legged though.

**Jackal**

Looks like a star cannon.

Looks like a 2nd head judging from the very different designs.

On games day.

**Alpharius**

Awesome indeed!

I eagerly await the release of the Warlock variant - which I will also not be able to afford, but still, it should be incredible!

**Perkustin**

Wow i like these pages, time to fnd out who could possibly hate such a beast.

**Valkyrie**

*spits out drink*

Sweet Jesus, how much will that thing cost?

**warboss**

very spiffy looking, indeed. on a side note.. i never knew the pilot was in the head!

**Belerephon**

The guys are Forge World are just too good at what they do...

**BrassScorpion**

The Armorcast version is still pretty hot looking, probably the best looking epic upscale they ever did. The new Forge World model is also beautiful. I wonder how enthusiastic the comments in this thread will be once the price is announced for the new one?

**Perkustin**

Any chance someone could photoshop a 28mm size comp?

**vitki**

Considering the small one next to it is the revenant Titan and that one is ~12" tall, I expect the Phanton to top 2 feet!

And since the Revenant is ~$300, I don;t really want to speculate on the cost of a Phantom...

**MechaEmperor7000**

I'm kinda iffy on the design of it. Looks good as a stand alone model, but next to the Revenant, it looks like they just upsized the Revenant Titan, took away the boosters and gave it hands.

**MajorTom11**

Still not a fan of the biggerized guardian face and shoulder guards, and also still very attached to the original epic design, but that looks very nice for all that! I feel they could have updated the older head design and not pushed it so hard to truer anthropomorphism with the 'face' and hands... Oh, and the hands... what in the name of jeebus does it need hands for? If those 100 ft long pulsars need physical giant trigger pulling then I consider that a pretty big design flaw lol!

I can hear gunner crews everywhere screaming 'Aim for the fingers!'

Do like the back detail, color scheme in particular though.

**Acardia**

model looks amazing, not so hot on the color scheme, but to each their own.

**CaptKaruthors**

Hot damn! That thing is awesome. Methinks I'll be getting one.

**NAVARRO**

That was my pic on the titan i did a couple years back man

Ol days

**MajorTom11**

Oh, p.s to the OP

Change the name of the thread to 'Forgeworld Newsletter 2XX: Pics of Phantom Titan' or some such, otherwise we can expect at the very least 5 duplicate threads started and closed by Tuesday lol!

**Earthbeard**

It looks very nice, not my cup of tea.

Everything needs Hands, well that or tentacles

**VikingScott**

Dayum!

Nice titan.
