Alright, guess I'm in for a card pack too, so I can run both the reavers I'm getting...

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...

The Reaver chainfist did exist at one time - no idea it vanished:

looks like someone just glued a land raider track to the titan!

Maybe that's why Land Raiders are so hard for the Imperium to produce, because I bet you those tooth-tracks are one-use only.

Indeed. damn adeptus titanicus!

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.

Brick and mortar stores over here (Spain, Madrid) were all pretty well stocked of everything, including the big box. At least in the case of independent stores, that is.

Technically, the carapace-mounted turbolaser destructor isn't available for the 40k Reaver - you'd need to buy the redoubt RoB tile which includes one. It's got two barrels to the laser blaster's 3. I don't know how the one from the RoB tile compares, size-wise, to the one on the Warhound.

Had to put this in here. Godly painting skills.

I always love looking at stuff like this, it makes me feel so useless

The barrels are the same part actually. FW for years has put off selling the turbolaser from the RoB tile separately, I ask every few months or so.

Wonder if it's cause there are eneugh suckers willing to buy the entire ROB tile for the weapon?

How much will the reaver be?

How many are folks buying who bought the full set? 4? Two for each side?

Better technical paintjob than my 28mm knights

Reaver is IIRC 35 GBP, 60 USD. I'm starting with 3, 2 for loyalists and one for traitors.

yeah I'm gonna snag 2, and work at a Axiom maniple, although eventually I'll sang a second warlord and pack of warhounds so I can build any maniple

2 or 3 for me.

I'm thinking of doing the dual Power First Reaver just for the fun of it (don't actually think it's viable in game unless you have really dense terrain).

Maybe as a close combat escort for a Warlord, but I tend to agree not likely viable, in fact given the rules I'm not really sure melee weapons are worthwhile for titans.

I have the full set. I'll be buying one Reaver and probably a second some time later. But I'm painting up both my Warlords for the same Legio so I only have one side

I have the full set, I'll be buying 2. Most individual armies won't need more then 2 reaver's. Although a Legio Gryfonicus player could conceviably run a Axiom Maniple of 4 reavers and a warhound.

I'll be picking up 3 Reavers on launch. That's enough for free shipping, and I run Gryphonicus anyway so it works for a couple of maniples. I was also thinking about converting the 3rd laser blaster into a turbo-laser to get some variety in carapace options.

It was a bit disappointing not to get any AT news from NOVA. I'm starting to worry we won't get any more weapon options until after Xmas.

we likely won't. although if the Warhound is indeed november there is a "hole" in October I could see a warlord weapons sprue being released

Anyone have a size comparison between AT v1 and AT v2 Reaver? (And v1 Warhound vs. v2?). I’m curious how out of scale the old stuff is now.

There are a few floating around for the Warlord for sure - and they're WAY out of scale.

Probably too early for Warhounds, but I'm pretty sure we've seen Reaver comparisons too and yes, they're again way out of scale with each other.

Which was to be expected when they announced that this version of Adeptus Titanicus would be in...a new scale, of course!

Old Epic was 6mm (1/285th) an the new AT is 8mm (1/225th) so Titans will definitely look out of place.

Vehicles, I guess would depend on which ones and when/who made them.

Anyone know how big the Forbidden Stars stuff is? I know they have vehicles in that game.

New AT has actually pushed me further along to buying a 3d printer. There is tons of great stuff out there.

Are there rules for specific Legio in the book somewhere? I'm not finding them.

Pages 89-92

only Gryphonicus and Tempestus have rules right now.

Actually, old Epic was all over the joint - the old Warlord was smaller than the new Reaver - and we've not worked out what new AT is yet because I built my Warlord in a fancy pose and nobody else who has calipers wants to build theirs in the utterly neutral stance seen in the spec-plates in the book.

Well, I would disagree with your assessments of the measurements being figured out.

There have been many measurements taken by the STL / 3D printer communities and the agreed upon sizes are as I posted.

I agree that there were discrepancies among the oldest Epic Titans (not vehicles), but the last FW stuff (Titans) was size consistent.

They did build and measure the neutral pose. I believe that GW themselves did the same, although I can't recall which WHC update it was. 34 meters tall Warlord measured 150mm, .226.6~ or 1/225th for model scales. Although I'm not sure they were clear on the exact measurement points...top of launchers, top of carapace, etc..

The U.S. page says almost 6 inches which is @ 6 inches = 152mm... or 1/223rd scale.

There's a 1:1 picture on the back of the box.

Wow, derp, can't believe I didn't notice that. Thanks.

In that case - the 32.76m measurement given in the book for a "resting" Titan is stated as being exclusive of weapons, and the "actual size" image measures ~121mm to the tippy-top of its void generators, so it's 1:270-ish? Closer to 1:271. That would make a 1.8m "scale human" ~6.65mm tall. Vindication, I think - it's pretty much still "6mm scale", they just fixed the Titans to be the proper size. That also supports the interpretation of the info that came out of a 'fest ages ago that they scaled Space Marines at ~8mm to make sure they looked good and worked outward from there.

EDIT: And so as to not drift too far off topic, I broke this off into the other forum.
