Did you mean to write “slightly more than a Warlord”?

Mostly depends on where I buy specific things from, but i'm gonna take advantage of one of those ebay sales so in a way...cheaper lol

Light Maniple really appeals to me as a gaming challenge too. Using the Warhounds is easy enough, because they do what they do. But getting the Reaver into a good position to really unleash hell with the freebie shots?

It's going to be tricky giving the single reaver a good loadout though. 1 reaver, 2 warhounds, and a 6 strong knight banner comes close to 1k points. Having the warhounds equipped solely to strip shields could be tricky cause if you lose the reaver somehow early on then you've got 2 warhounds that can't do enough to compensate.

Play Legio Gryphonicus and run with 2 reavers and 2 warhounds?

that does raise a valid question and one we should ask the FAQ, how does the Legio Gryphonicus abilities work with the Venator Maniple's special ability, does an extra reaver count as a warhound for the rules purpose, or a reaver?

But you will get Battlefleet (Heresy), Arbites and an Ambull before tiny Marines.

thats no suprise, we know Battlefleet Heresy is coming, and epic is a "maybe one day" thing. Arbites is intreasting.

I read that as a "wen hell freezes over" comment rather than a promise of a new Battlefleet game and Adeptus Arbites.

well a new battlefleet game we know is coming. as I said Arbites is "intreasting" although I could see maybe a Necromundea Arbities "gang"

Have Forge World said anything concrete about a new Battlefleet game? Like "it's coming out in 20xx"? Or is it just that they've said they'd like to do it next? I mean, they said that about Adeptus Titanicus after Blood Bowl, then we got Necromunda.

Necromunda are getting Palatine Enforcers rather than Arbites(the Governor's personal thugs, basically). If we're getting Arbites, it'll either be in a Rogue Trader-style Kill Team expansion box set, or as a GSC-style 40K minifaction.

I think she just meant the Enforcers - just called them Arbiter like everyone does.

Then her list is all Forgeworld stuff

I choose to read that as Battlefleet, Arbites and tiny marines confirmed!!

I can't recall what I last read on it specifically, but I think the Battlefleet might be going through some of the same change that AT went through - ergo both were envisioned at the turn of the Management and both were going to be short resin FW projects but are not being shifted into mainstream and thus plastic products. So that might be a reason the Battlefleet return has stalled or at least been delayed.

But we've not heard anything from the big events this year. I think that it is safe to say its a way off as yet.

I have to agree that Reaver pricing is a welcome surprise. I see using more Reavers than Warlords.

Now just waiting for the Warhound... and the first supplement

Not forgetting the extra weapons! I think we'll see the first weapon upgrades very soon. Looking in the rulebook, you can see the Plasma Annihilator, Carapace Laser Blasters and what looks to be the Quake Cannon on the Warlords.

I keep[[ hearing november as the release date for the warhounds so october would make sense for a weapon upgrade pack

And its getting an ambull (cyborg).

Only $60 for a Reaver, not too shabby

Yep, and only a few weeks after launch. But I guess this game is still 'dead on arrival'...

The initial wave of releases will come out regardless of actual sales. Timing and size of the Wave 2 release will be a better indicator.

Seems to have sold like hotcakes. The Facebook group is incredibly active.

Hell, my own personal copy arrives tonight.

Who said it's "dead on arrival"? Some well-informed individuals with fantastic business degrees who somehow are privy to the internal sales numbers and planning of Games Workshop? Or just some random internet people with a quivering lower lip, clenched fist, and tear welling in their eye?

No need for that - just ignore them/that, move on and keep it positive and about this fantastic game!

Shame about the extra terminals/cards being webstore exclusives, but with "sensible" amounts of those being included with the rules I can see the rationale for it. I'm just not sensible is all.

We stopped off at Warhammer World yesterday and, despite being sold out online, they keep getting restocks of the big box in the WW store.

From what I've heard they recalled all the stock meant for demo/open copies from gw stores after launch. So if I was a betting man I'd guess at least some of that has gone to keeping warhammer world in stock for a while.

the cards are actually something you don't get many of I'm realizing. If you wanna run multiples of a titan with the same weapons load out you'll eaither need new cards, or need to make your own.

Do we know what the weapon options are on the sprues yet?

I think I've seen pictures of the sprues.

This picture was posted earlier to this thread. I'm not making 100% sense of the sprues since I'm still learning what everything is, but as far as I can tell:

- Power Fist
- Gatling (3 identical 2-barrel pieces)
- Apocalypse
- Laser Blaster? Looks like 3 laser barrels

we know the warhound has all options so I'm hoping the reaver does too

The reaver doesn't come with as many options, only 1 carapace weapon, fist, laser, gatling. It's unfortunate but at least they got the basics in the kit. I do hope they make an upgrade sprue with another carapace option (laser), chainfist, melta cannon, and hopefully..if they can fit it...the reaver volcano cannon. The warp missile support rack is low priority IMO, i'd just paint the apocalypse missile launcher with weird colors or convert it.

Yeah just been looking at the FW Reaver Weapons and it looks like it is just the Fist, Apoc launcher and Gatling. The sprue makes it deceptive as the fist arm looks to have a few parts.

Looking at that sprue it pretty clearly contains the four weapons from this image, plus the head.



If you look through some of the art in the AT rulebook, it's clearly based on model photographs and includes unreleased weapon & head options for both of these titans. This includes a reaver chainfist that doesn't exist on the 28mm version. I reckon only the Warhound will get all the options in the basic kit, while the Reaver & Warlord will see additional weapon/head packs on a single sprue. First up will probably be powerfirst, plasma annihilator & laser blasters for Warlord, and volcano cannon, chainfist & something else for reavers.

The game designers also specifically mentioned the warp missile as being one of the rarer things done in resin. I just want to see something aside from apocalypse launchers on every titan...
