Yikes those dataslates are huge! Will you need one for each model on the board do you think? That is a lot of reference material if you have 5 or 6 titans fighting at once.

Uh, the giant dataslates are for the giant game played with 40k scale models. Pretty sure when we get them they will be a bunch smaller and not magnetic.

You're right, but I would kinda love for AT Titans to have nice shiny statsheets like Battletech or Imperial Knights: Renegade. That gets unwieldy for large Epic-scale battles, though.

Ah right I see. There is a lot of text and other details on them though, can't see how they could get much smaller if they want to keep the same level of detail.

Yea having one is cool, but having too many makes it hard to keep track of everything. I can see myself putting one down on the chair whilst I do another one and then sitting on it!
I dunno what the magnets are like either, they could be easily knocked off or moved for all I know which would make things worse...

Not this year from all we can tell... hopefully we'll hear about a firmer date later in the year, but I'm sure they don't want to distract from the 8th edition release right now.

Wait, were they not saying "soon" yesterday? Unless we're talking January then I wouldn't consider next year to be "soon" in any sense.

Hooky models - they look like the dubious casts you can get if you ask around hard enough


The three on the left are old models. For scale.

I know! 8.5"x11" is too big. I do like the black push pins they use. I would imagine there will be a better and easier way to keep track of each titan further down the line.

The dataslates are what has me most excited about this. They look for tangible and real, like the actual HUD of a Titan. Love them!

According to J Martin who talked with Andy Hoare the game is done, and will be released this year:

The book is done, the minis are done. Titanicus is going to print next week and will be out this year
They are going to do a big release with boxed game plus extras. They pushed the schedule back a bit to flesh it out more
They have learned from BB that people are lapping Specialist Games up, so are going to get more budget for it.

We'll find out soon enough eh.

So do we have it confirmed that we're talking "boxed game" as in plastic titans and terrain, or as in the original rumoured plan for just a box of terrain and rules and all-resin titans?

The news that they're pushing the investment in SG's up going forward is fantastic.

Had a quick chat with James (Hewitt) yesterday about the statuses of Titans.

All plastic now as mentioned before. He thought the core box would still be rules only (data slates with pegs are in) then Titans in a separate box, but that may not be 100%

He reckons the aim is for FW to support 4 SGs fully at any one time, but they won't be removed from sale when newer games step up to he plate.

Always nice to catch up with him (he did my first day of training when I joined GW, and we bump into each other every so often).

...and you will know me by the trail of my lead...

Sounds like source is J Martin who got information from Andy Hoare.

Who J Martin is is of course another question

I spoke to James Hewitt yesterday, and while it has been "confirmed" here about the plastics, he did "all but" confirm that it going to happen. Not new news I know but it keeps the hope alive in me.

He mentioned that the titans would be much cheaper and easier to build than originally thought when they were writing the rules. In fact there are mechanics in the rules to allow balancing of uneven match ups purely so they were not forcing people to go out a buy £100's of models just in find a game.

Still no word about anything smaller than a knight making an appearance.

I'm really looking forwards to this. Small games with 1 warlord will be fun. The ability to field an entire Knight house is awesome. You can tell I just read Mechanicus.

I think it was already more or less 'confirmed' that, at least at the start, there will NOT be anything smaller than a Knight?

I think the plan is/was, IF this sells really well, eventually other super-heavies, tanks and maybe even Infantry *will* show up, basically giving us The Return of Epic, I hope!

Only the top link is current sadly, and it specifically says "no set date". The source of the information seems to be James Martin of Little Plastic Soldiers, here:

http://www.littleplasticsoldiers.com/2017/05/27/adeptus-titanicus-update/

Little Plastic Soldiers wrote:ADEPTUS TITANICUS UPDATE
27th May 2017

Direct from the Specialist Game Seminar at Warhammer Fest 2017

– Detailed tabletop war game akin to a naval warfare game

– Smaller scale than 40k

– Set during the Horus Heresy

– Wide range of Titans, Knights, Terrain and Modular buildings

– New rules, inspired by the classic 1988 game

– coming soon(ish), no set date.


And an image from the SpikeyBits article nade linked to:



So looks like we're still waiting, hopefully they can nail down a timeline for release after the 8th edition release madness is over! But still doesn't look like 2017 is in the cards...

Has there been anymore news on this? I know I shared what my GW contact saw and knew several weeks ago. This contact clued me into several things that actually came true. Sadly he was fired last week. Hope it wasn't because of the leaked info he was giving.
