Wow, I have to subscribe to Warhammer tv to watch their Twitch VODs. Genius. I bet whoever made this decision has made them loads of money, great work, whoever you are.

...So we have no idea if they said anything relevant because nobody wanted to shell out to watch it?

I watched it, they only wanted to talk about stuff already announced. Spent most of the time talking about the weapon sprues & cerastus knights we've already seen and dodging any other questions about future releases.

The only real useful information was confirmation that a FAQ was being worked on.

Really no new information in the stream.

I wrote down a couple points.

From what I understood, they seemed to rule out acastus class knights, saying "no plans".

Regarding weapons, I understood the ones in the cards would be released in plastic, the more esoteric ones in resin (not really new, I have seen another take saying "all resin" so eager to have official news on that).

For the rest, a lot of "would be nice, cool, if resources, time, …"

"we take a glimpse into the future of Adeptus Titanicus"

...but they don't? Urgh.

This was the perfect opportunity to talk about the new AT Eva units 1 and 2!

THEY HAD ONE JOB, MAN! JUST ONE!

AND THEY DROPPED THE BALL!!!

Write up from the Titan owners club http://titanownersclub.blogspot.com/2018/11/adeptus-titanicus-twitch-stream-review.html

The idea that the Warbringer is not a dead cert for a future AT release is kind of odd. Are they still so afraid that the bean counters are going to pull the rug from under them that they don't want to commit to anything past the 2nd Reaver?

My notes from today's Twitch feed:

---They talked about the new releases for which we've already seen previews
---Talked about the "modularity" of the Warlord & Reaver sprues
---They may eventually get to the Warbringer Nemesis, but not soon
---They are not working on an Imperator at this time, and it's not in their current plans, but they may look at it again in the future
---Separate weapon sprues will be available "soon" in the new year
---The smaller weapons on the Power Claws are already factored into the profile - it's not an omission
---More Legion Traits and special rules are on the way with Titandeath
---They'd like to do Legio specific dice
---No immediate plans for Xenos - they want to keep to the Horus Heresy right now
---They want to do the other Cerastus (and Questoris) Knight weapons eventually - they just wouldn't fit on the sprue
---Titandeath
--- +Read the novel to "see" what's in it
--- +Beta Garmon conflict
--- +Some of the biggest Titan battles ever
---For High Gothic Titan names - it's your Legio - do what you want
---Imperial Hunters colors are white dappled over green, with red accents and gold trim
---They're interested in doing more terrain
---Lots of "banned" weapons were used during the Heresy - anything to win - including Ordinatus and others
---Legio Audax (Ember Wolves) are all Warhounds - read the short story
---After the current batch of plastics, it sounds like further weapons will be resin from Forgeworld
---Before the HH, there were lots of Legios - now there are few. The opposite of Space Marine Chapters
---They are working on a FAQ, which will be released

Good that there are more Knights are on the way.

Nice to know the upgrade sprues for the Warlord and Reaver will have three new head options each.

I get the feeling GW intended to announce the weapon sprues and Reaver, but - of course - their hand was forced early, leaving little to say now.

Naturally disappointed with no news about a value starter set - if they ever intended to release one.

I could have sworn I just read they won't be releasing the Acastus Knight? Double checked, but its not there now?

That's what I understood. They basically said "Acastus … no plans".

We'll see. Plans can change.

My feeling is there are tons of things they would like to do but they always mention resources and time which are the usual suspects/constraints.

It would be super cool if they did release that bad-lad. I've seen one on pininterest where someone has painted theirs in a Quake-style scheme and it looks glorious.

This seems less like “no news” and more like all-negativity, going to every length to shut down hype and say they don’t have much in the pipeline.

you can watch them live (although I know many can't)

If you've got amazon prime you also get access to twitch prime (which I think gives you a 'free' channel you can change every month) which may be an option for you?

I don't have amazon prime, and if I did I'd use my token on a channel that makes good content, like SC2 GSL / WCS (even though they do their VODs for free...I'd still give them my support over two guys sitting in a room saying "Yeah, we designed some sprues, they'll be available for purchase, and hey, why not sub to this channel too? You can get VODs, which most respectable channels don't paywall anyway".

This month's news offering was a bit light on content if you already follow Warhammer Community.

As for Twitch, you can watch for free - a paid account is only needed if you want to participate, ask questions, etc.

I suspect they don't want to do much in forms of official announcements of new stuff in twitch leaving that for warhammer community articles. Or has twitch been source for new reveals before?

Anyway warbringer being "maybe" is bit let down but guess I can see GW not having to wanted to commit to doing that before AT is even released if it were to be coming in a soon. If it was greenlighted say in october after sales were good it would still be like almost a year in the coming at earliest so they wouldn't be likely saying anything concrete now anyway.

Wonder if the new reaver comes in december? Not that it matters much to me. More crucial is when the individual sprues come.

Too bad they didn't announce old weapon sprues coming on their own later as well or I would have picked the new warlord tomorrow :(

When they bring out multi weapons sprues for all the models (or alternate races), I will buy an army. Until then stuff that, I will just wait for if they release BFG for a new game tbh.

I wouldn't hold your breath for BFG.

They showed quite a few Necromunda concept art for upcoming release stuff, but since Titandeath didn't have any new model i doubt they have any to show.

Don't read too much into the Warbringer thing. They said the same about cerastus knights not long ago. Everything not yet formally announced is "maybe some day". My money is on the Warbringer being the main model release alongside Titandeath.

The Reaver sprue they previewed was dated 2019 (as opposed to the Warlord one dated 2018) so I think we can expect that box early in the new year. No clue on the separate purchase though...

Gw is very careful about not promising anything too far off. Which is sensible, more than one game company has come very unstuck when they've promised or suggested things were "coming soon" only to never release them or to have a development time that wound up lasting years.

Far better that GW says "we won't commit" or "no" so that if something were to cause a release to be delayed or cancelled, the market isn't left as annoyed.

I'm still waiting for the rules for Psi-titans announced in 1989 for Adeptus Titanicus as "coming soon". Or the original announcement of their 40k space combat game - announced as "coming soon", ended up coming out several years later in much-reduced form as "Space Fleet".

And you think they’ll just dump all the BFG stuff in one go? First you’ll get the cruiser with batteries, then they’ll release a cruiser with carrier bays, the battleship, then a battleship with different guns, then the SM strike cruiser, the strike cruiser with a nova cannon, etc.

Actually not far off my own opinion, even though I've got the rules, a Warlord and some Knnnnnnigits.

See, having read through the book and the weapon cards, I'm happy that the game will be most interesting when the weapons listed on the current cards are all available. Without it, there's basically 5 army structures, which isn't massively interesting to me, as there's 20% chance I'll just be facing a carbon copy of my own Maniple.

Now don't get me wrong, the game is still fun. But it needs more releases before it starts to achieve it's true potential.

At the risk of sounding like I'm just being a Fanboi, if that release strategy is what it takes to make these games worth it for GW to produce, it's a poison I'm willing to swallow.

Indeed, a little bit at a time so as to build immunity to poison like late King Mithridates

Whatever it takes (well, within reason) to keep the games out there!

To be fair to GW the release schedule has so far been decent and given just enough time to allow players to prepare their models and get up to speed with the rules. The titans are also not the quickest of models to assemble and paint, especially when they are considered the standard "troop" choice of the game.

Oh I'm annoyed at the drip feed method of releases but I understand their business model. They just need to understand that I'm going to 3d print and convert what I need to play rather than wait 6 months for plasma cannons for my Warlords.

White Dwarf will be having a rules article for the Cerastus Knights...

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/11/30/30th-nov-white-dwarf-preview-decembers-issuegw-homepage-post-4/

...definitely getting this issue!

Nice picture that shows how tall the lancers are compared to the Questoris chaps. I feel more justified in purchasing them now...

Dunno why. White dwarf paper is less convenient than command terminal.

Yeah, but they might have lots of cool pictures and interesting fluff such as their names; Rodney and Jeff!
