Ah, there we have it!

Almost a guarantee to match the Armigers, I'd think.

Sadly, $75USD will probably what we get - but I'd be very happy to see it at $65, of course.

The Armiger boxes are 4 sprues, and from the leaked pics I think Warhounds come on 3 sprues (same size sprue). I know this is an imperfect metric, but it's something to be considered. Furthermore, I guess a bit of the cost of the base kit might be subsidized by the sale of peripherals, like terminals and those weapon cards for your terminals. I know a lot of people will print them out, but a fair amount will probably buy the real deal. The cards are like €10, so the margins have to be super high on that, and the sale of those is driven by model sales. My guess and hope is less than $75, but wouldn't be too surprised if they will cost more. I mean who knows.

I don't think the titans 'on their own' come with terminals or cards?

So that cost doesn't factor in.

GW might care about sprue count = price point, but I'd bet they use other factors more often.

We *might* actually get luck here as you *can/will* use more Warhounds than Reavers or certainly Warlords.

Remember GW's character/terminator price point 'logic'!

I would love for you to be right, but I don't think GW is pricing them lower than a Reaver.

Yeah, I said Reavers at $65 and people gave me the same exact response there, so we'll see what happens I guess.

So, is anyone actually playing this game? This thread was a frenzy of activity pre-release and not it seems pretty much dry.

**Overread**

Well there's been no news or rumours - the activity log thread is still going strong as is the "is it dead" thread. This one will spark to life once some news/solid rumours come on the Warhounds; which will probably be close to their release - a week before their preorder or a bit before that if a rumour gets out.

**Azreal13**

It was always a modelling project for me in the medium term. If once I've got a few engines painted up and a bit of scenery I can encourage a few games from the locals, then bonus.

**Wolf_in_Human_Shape**

Taking a long time to build my GM set. Legio Fureans, those flames... gakked up my first attempt, repainted the plates to do a better job. Looking forward to buying reavers and warhounds, but for once in my life I’m gonna finish the other titans before buying them. And also wait for an eBay coupon.

This thread is for news and rumours regarding at. Not battle reports. As there has been no new news or rumours no surprise it's quiet here. Head to specialist game subsection that's the place for non-rumour/news discussion.

It seems to be pretty popular in the FB and internet hobby groups that I partake in, lots of people are sharing tactics, paint schemes and 3D printer patterns ( or whatever they are called ) for unreleased titans and weapons, I dont expect much to get written here as the releases come at a trickle but I suspect that the longer they leave it the less money they will make.

This isn't the "Adeptus Titanicus - battle reports" thread

Hopefully we'll see the resin upgrade sets getting released soon. Wonder what the next plastic titan will be after the warhound...

Most of upgrade weapons are actually plastic. It's weapons like warp missile that are going to be resin

**RobertDD**

I suspect we will see the Warhounds up for pre-order on 10/6, so announcements this Saturday. This would follow the release pattern we've seen so far.

EDIT: I said Reaver by mistake, I meant Warhound, of course.

**Azreal13**

By Reaver you mean Warhound?

It's also an incomplete game as of now, and one that required most players to prepare their miniatures and gaming tables.

Aye its just not the same without the warhounds either, the sooner the better.

**Mysterio**

Absolutley!

I've got 2 Warlords and 2 Reavers, but price depending, I suspect I'll have a lot more Warhounds!

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Yup. Game is going to work best when all the core rule options are available. Titans and Weapons both.

It'll be a rare game where the main three aren't all taking the field across both player's forces.

I actually have no titans at the moment.

It's Legio Audax for me...all Warhounds, all the time.

Of course, I hope we get an all-Warhound maniple in the campaign book so that I'm legal for matched play...

**xttz**

October WD has the AT Warhound confirmed on the cover

What are they going to play with? There are so few models and they take a long time to build and paint.

BUT! We have a game where we get to micromanage a few units! And don't have to worry about a bunch of minis and broken rules.

**Nostromodamus**

I’m playing, but this is a news thread, not a batrep or project thread.

**Xanthos**

Also playing, and really enjoying the game so far. It has alot of similarities with Battlefleet Gothic of old. :-)

**tneva82**

So now we know warhound preorder is 6 or 13. Then wait for weapon packs. Any rumour about date for those?

**zedmeister**

Here's the page preview - note they're the 40k scale Titans

**Yodhrin**

OK, I know it's an utterly trivial nitpick, but that bit at the end of that page rankles - the Omnissiah is the living manifestation of the Machine God. Their wording makes it sound like the other way around.

**Stormonu**

Still getting mine put together/painted.

Have we seen yet an actual price for the Warhounds?

The Omissiah is the Machine God. I can't say I've ever read about a living manifestation of him.

I don't expect we will until they go on pre-order.

It’s a trinity. The machine god, the omnissiah and the motive force.

So the motive force would be his physical mainfestation?

Father (God), Son (Omnissiah?), holy ghost (motive force?). Though in the case of the Christian God, the Son and the physical manifestation are kind of the same if I understand correctly. I guess the Holy ghost might be the institution of Christianity (Belief). Then again, there's the interpretation that all are one and the same.

**Mysterio**

Please, not in this thread!

Just 'worry' about the "mechanics" of it in the 40K setting and sense, and leave all the rest of it out.

And will someone just tell us the prince of Warhound titans already!!!

**Nostromodamus**

In the novel “Mechanicum” it’s told that different Martian factions believe different things. Some see the Omnissiah and the Machine God as the same thing, others see the Omnissiah as the Machine God made manifest, some believe the Emperor is the Omnissiah, others don’t. It’s all very nebulous and open to interpretation among different sects of the Martian Priesthood.
