Well FLGS's can if they want order also the web only items. But likely that way for sprues yes.

I would assume so, but would the GW stores also order in Forgeworld items?

All the other plastic kits from Specialist Games have been on sale on the GW website, and available to be delivered to GW stores; it's only resin models and parts that are only sold through Forge World. They won't be stocked on shelves though.

This is all excellent news. Can't wait to see what's in Titandeath.

The sprues are coming out much more quickly than I expected.

I'm going to be a busy bee next month!

According to guy in FB group:

Titan Death £22, new Reaver £35. No price on sprue as online only.

The book is cheaper than I thought, was honestly expecting £30+

Guess I'll wait until Friday night to see the sprue price. Then decide if it's worth buying the full titans at 25% discount, or ordering the Warlord sprue direct and waiting for the Reaver.

Was expecting £25 for Titandeath, so that's a pleasing price. Spesh as I'll likely be ordering through Darksphere (if my local store doesn't stock, my sale goes elsewhere for the saving)

This all sounds good and im really looking forward to the book, but I was expecting all present weaponsprues to drop at the same time :/

edit: updating pricing details posted below

Reaver Plasma?

This Reaver doesn't have plasma does it? That's not the Plasma Annihilator sprue getting conflated?

I certainly hope not!

I hope (?) that's the price for the Reaver with the new options, and not the price of the plasma sprue for the Warlord titan!

It's GW's retailer spreadsheet having info typed into it by someone who isn't familiar with what things are

Info comes from retailers. They don\t sell sprues. Ergo that price is not the sprue. Meanwhile you can see it's same price as reaver 1. It's reaver's price.

got the official retailer info. NO PRICE on the Warlord sprue!

Yes, right. Of course.

But when it is called a "Plasma Reaver", well, confusion follows!

All cleared up now - except for the price of the Plasma Warlord Sprue!

I hope the Mortis rules are good, i'm kinda worried they will solely buff warlords and then my two warhounds will be less than optimal. It's too late for me to change legio. I know scout titans in Mortis were rare but they did have some....

I just hope the book either includes or is published alongside a FAQ/errata document.

$35 actually sounds quite reasonable for the pagecount that's been talked about for Titandeath.

I think GW roles a d6 to determine pricing. On 6s we get fair pricing and 1-5 is "because they'll pay it" pricing.

And a “1” means it’s only available in a collector’s edition format.

Now if they would only get the Knight Command Terminals back in stock.

For better or worse, they do seem to be selling through their initial production run of many AT products and having to reprint.

bit more info.

Its all sounding good so far. Fingers crossed for a decent amount of Titan focused HH fluff to go with the new rules.

It looks OK, except that stupid weather table. The acid fog and lightning effects are backwards; giant metal machines, especially ones touching the ground, are basically immune to lightning, military ones especially. No-one, not even the Mechanicus, is dumb enough to build a giant lightning rod without an actual lightning rod. Massive, broad spectrum energy bursts fetching sensors though, that’s a thing.
Same with clouds of acid; nothing about that should block even half the sensors available to a Titan, but exposed metal is gonna have a bad time…

I'm looking forward to seeing what they do for the campaign game. I always liked the Mighty Empires hex system (and the 40K variant) for both the game and hobby opportunities it afforded me.

So, I'm hoping for something similar here.

Agreed...does seem a bit odd...

Well. We are talking about giant machines that apparantely don't have this technological marvel called "range finder" that's old tech even by our standards.

This isn't normal lightning like what we get on Earth, this is GrimDark lightning on alien worlds where the properties of the planet make such bolts of power FAR in excess of anything we see on mundane, safe Terra.

We are talking bolts of energy the like of which we might only dream of; of which the gods of old threw in the days when worlds were formed. Sheer white bright light that blazes up into the skies with a roaring thunder heard half a world away.

Not some little white streaks that you can only hear a few miles off....




Also we are talking about a civilization who builds complex cyborgs which have purposes like "Turn screw 34 on panel 3 of Lemon Russ tank" as their sole purpose! A perfect blending of machine and human reduced to performing a mundane task that we'd consider the cheapest of automation to achieve.
So yeah I can see them building a vast skyscraping titan that hasn't got a basic lightning rod built in. If it wasn't on the original design specification or that page was lost they'd certainly not corrupt the purity of the Titan God by changing the design!

They do have range fiunders. Unfortunately they also have radar jammers, stealth equipment (seriously - you used to be able to fit an entire titan with cameleoline), ECM and ECCM and the battlefield will be covered in smoke, dust, erratic lighting and more. "no premeasuring" is as good a way of simulating that as trying to build all those effects explicitly into the rules.

(I suppose you could make movement and weapon ranges a number of dice rather than a fixed value, but I don't think you lot would like that either!)

And all you archieve is confuse newbies. Any veteran meanwhile will use known terrain sizes, board section sizes, his hand placed in convenient location(need 6" distance? Well I just have my hand nearby...Instant tell) plus basic algerbra. Might just as well be measured flat out for all the effect it does. You get to premeasure at will without taking up measure tape. It's artificial "skill" introducting without actually being real skill.

Stupid, illogical, unfluffy and even rules author was set against it but bean counters overrode him.
