Dagnabit, I thought STR 3 was the minimum to affect Void Shields. Puts a real crimp in my battleplan.

Although, I've been working all day today putting together stats for Superheavy tanks and the like. This game has me pumped to be trying it out.

That won't be a problem with approriate point cost. Knight's strongest asset is their devastating charge and melee. So you'd want to avoid spending too much on their shooting. Which is not cheap.

It's hint in the book that they'd get their own household trait in the future so that might change. Also Knight dominus with all those gun easily out dakka titans any days, it's the problem in GW, they have no problem updating the old knight giving it more firepower but the titan remain the same for decade.

Does anyone know when the likely release of the warhounds and reaver is? I've been scouring the thread and couldn't find anything?

given Orks look to be in October, September seems sucpiciously quiet. I'm crossing my fingers we get a release then. My gut feeling is they're gonna want the inital range complete before december, so that Titanfall can cap the whole inital range off.

Reaver will be in September WD along with the new LoTR set and Rogue Trader. They were less certain on the Warhound, which could be October or November.

YAY! *sets aside money!*

Warhound is very likely to be November. I was told by the designer at Games Day that it was finished, but they weren't allowed to show it off, since it was outside their three month release schedule.

The Reaver was shown at Games Day Uk, meaning that it is coming next month, barring some sort of disaster.

Warhound was shown off in Germany, menaing that it is now less than three months from release.

Weird reason as GW proper has already broke that three month release schedule thing.

I know, it puzzled me as well, but that's what they said.. :-)

A quick comparison between new knights (wip) and various old knights (from left to right: Paladin, Crusader, Questoris, Lancer, Castellan).

I find the Lancer to be quite comparable in terms of height, the other ones have shorter legs but torsos look pretty close (except for the paladin).

Not bad. Given the fluid nature of scale in large 40K vehicles, I don't see any of the new models presenting an issue to old Epic gamers (unless you're running a new Reaver alongside an old Reaver, perhaps).

I don't feel like those knights shown would "ruin" anyone's game of Epic, etc.

The old knights look a little clunky but the size has no problems for me. I intend to dust off my old ones and test the swarm of knights versus a Warlord thing to see what happens.

Here's a size comparison with the old Forgeworld Epic Superheavies. They fit in quite nicely I reckon. Now just need to adapt the Knight Banner card for a superheavy detachment:

The real test of scale will be when the Warhound comes out - that plasma blastgun on the Stormblade is supposed to be exactly the same weapon as the one the Warhound uses.

yeah the old epics tanks might work. BTW anyone found a 3rd party that sells a good "epic skitari infantry" source? I'm thinking a few Skitarii Rangers/Vanguard running around my titan's feet would make for a GREAT base deco

Well new titan gun should be 25% bigger. But then again epic was always more abstract game anyway so such differences shouldn't make big difference. Just different mark.

Also, the Shadowsword Volcano Cannon should be roughly the same as the Reaver version (whenever it comes out)

I read someone suggesting Dropzone Commander - Scourge Infantry - Warriors as possible skitarii proxy (they are 10mm)

For those who were wondering about the size difference between the official model and you know who...

perfect. I'll book mark it

I guess the FW super heavy weapons will be smaller than the ones on the new Reavers and Warhounds.

The old Epic FW warhounds are roughly the heigth of the new questoris knights.

The other two pictures are a quick comparison between the Warlord (wip - focus on the backdoor) and the latest iteration in Epic Chaos Space Marines (boxset called Blood Reavers if I remember correctly). One is a Chaos Space Marine, the other a Chaos Space Marine Terminator. They were slightly bulkier and taller than the older infantry figures in the Epic range.

To me these CSM scale perfectly with AT

Meanwhile at Warhammer World the Gme version is availible, 20+ boxes on the counter (I seem unable to copy-paste the image from my phones camera?).

Ohhhh I didn't find this for House Col'Khak!

you should proably glad you didn't get what you wanted then, A twin gatling Knight apparently is nearly useless in AT

Those sprues are jammed pack.

As for dual gatling being useless... Not really. It's not a bad melee weapon vs damaged Titans especially from the rear. Add in its Rapid rule and you can 48 dice with 6's adding an extra hit at St 5 at rear armor hitting on what 2+. Sure they can't be used to kill void shields but ehhhh some. Situations don't need voids to be killed constantly. Smart use of your units will cause these to be a very deadly unit not to mention point efficient. 150 for a group of 3 is pretty good. 285 for 6 of these in a single banner.

Hmmm 6 of these are shooting what 96 dice on 2+ in CC with 6's adding an extra hit which should average another 16 hits.

Another half-sprue of weapon options wouldn’t have killed them - its a minor gripe, but missing the rocket pod at the very least is ...silly.

Also, someone mentioned Knights being really good with charge orders - I don’t have my book in front of me, but I know they don’t get a slam attack - do they get their other melee attack on the charge as well (the powerfist/chainsword)? I seem to remember from the wording they did not?

They do. You either slam or strike with one of your melee weapons as part of the Charge order, which is powerful with good maneuvering for a second strike in the Combat phase.

Hi folks, just started my AT Knights (see: http://www.adpublishing.de/html/adeptus_titanicus.html) and I am now planning my Warlord.
Since I find the original bases too thick and distracting I am planning to use 2mm MDF bases.
The Warlord is 12cm x 9.5cm x 4mm

Does anyone already know the size of the Warhound and Reaver bases? Any help is appreciated!

From what I read elsewhere, it seems warhounds are coming on round 80mm bases.

Reavers are probably coming on oval 105 x 70 mm bases (based on the pics from Dusseldorf event where all 3 classes are shown together).

Best to check.

Love your work by the way.

The Rules Pack has the battlefield objectives and markers sprue; that includes three turning/corridor templates for the three Titan classes.
If you get one and copy the curve and width of the middle template you’ll probably be fine.
