We'll we seemed to have drifting into referring to earlier iterations of the game. (Banelords, wreakers etc), seemingly the golden age of 2nd edition/Titan Legions/Space Marine/Epic. And in a dice based game you throw enough dice you'll do enough damage - hence the ability of Devastator/Artillery Companies to down titans.

Counter intuitively, the 'fluff' or stories are the last place to look to pin down what can or can't fell a god-engine. In the universe of 40k fiction lasguns one-shot dreadnoughts and Inquisitors can order their pet deamon to denoate a reactor in an otherwise mint-condition titan.

My take on the armor was based on 7th ed/ HH rule, which make S9 weapon like lascannon or Basilisk Earthshaker cannon shot bounce right off the WL front and side armor unless a 6 is rolled, and it had an armor save on top.

You know, The Nemesis Warbringer, regardless of race, is the first new Titan we’ve seen since.....erm......The Revenant, I think? In so far as ‘totally new’, rather than a subclass such as the Banelord.

That’s....that’s a long time. How long? 1995. I remember, because I had my first Saturday job, and remember realising whilst on lunch with my mate Paul I could totally afford them as we flicked through White Dwarf.

Loved that original design.

Is there a leaked cost somewhere for the new starter box?

It’s in the $150 USD price bracket.

UK price allegedly £90.00.

Confirmed. It's £90 rrp.

It'd be even more awesome if that £90 cost $117 and not $150...

Wish I had a UK trip planned soon!

Still trying to figure out what to add to my FW order when picking up that Psi-Titan.

Maybe some carapace weapons...

Engine Kill. New monthly series, apparently:

Welcome, Princeps, to Engine Kill! This is the first instalment in a new series that will bring you all the latest news and exclusive previews for Adeptus Titanicus

Loving this pic. It really is like the original photos from all those years ago.

Too many terrain, Lancers can't charge D:

Now that I get a closer look at the warbringer, it has different upper arms than a reaver.

Kinda annoying given I magnetised all my reavers at the shoulder.

So what's the over/under on the Warlord Sinister price?

$175?

Just needs all the Space Marines and Land Raiders running around.

Needs more shipping containers!

They're selling a Warlord kit plus 2 resin weapons for £95 / $148, so that's probably close.

The Warlord is already $110USD, so yeah, probably looking at - ugh - $150 here.

Ouch.

From the pic, it looks as if it is coming with the "Plasma Annihilator and Power Claw" configuration.

So that's $110 - weapons from FW are $18 when sold singly, so we're up to $128.

How much for a new head?

Yeah, looks like it'll be $150.

90 pounds is a tasty price. I hope this is not a limited run, and they’ll still sell them this summer

As The Mandalorian has baby yoda, Titanicus has mini-munitorium containers. More please!

The warlord arm weapons are $24. One could figure another $20 or so for the head and arrive at a little over $150. However, I have trouble believing that beauty will be sold at the same price as a warlord plus a warlord weapon sprue. It almost has to come in higher with the kewlness/prestige/whatever factor. But I could be wrong. I'll be pleasantly surprised if it's in the 150s.

So, $134 before we factor in the new head, which certainly doesn't look like it unduly tasked anyone when it came to sculpting, nor will it when it comes to casting it...

You're probably right though - as I'm sure that GW will do the usual "You won't field a lot of these, so each one HAS to cost more!" calculation.

Less then 24 hours to go to find out...

Right...I expect character-type pricing. But we'll see.

Honestly, I'm fascinated to know exactly how these will be fielded. Are they strictly a support choice? Are they fielded as their own force? Both?

And I don't think I'll be ordering until I understand that...

Someone spotted the Warlord-Sinister at Warhammer World -




(Pics are on FB - let me know if they don't work & I'll copy them somewhere)

I'm wondering what caused them to change release dates for preorders to Saturday when it's Forgeworld - they edited the WHC article but other sites that reposted have it as Friday.

Can we hope it's to quickly make an upgrade parts only bundle ?

I've got 4 unassembked warlords which I'd happily drop £40-£50 each n an upgrade but I'm not buying 4 whole new warlords then reselling my existing sprues.

I'd be surprised if they are support only, more likely they'll be higher points to limit their numbers to be representative of 30k - remember that pre Beta Garmon they field Titans in numbers never seen afterwards

Pre-orders are up

https://www.games-workshop.com/en-NZ/Warbringer-Nemesis-Titan-With-Quake-Cannon-2020

The warbringer comes with a terminal, 3 weapon cards and 3 brand new sprues. From the preview, the belicosa volcano cannon will be an alternate option:

Might just be to tie in with the actual release, they’ve done it before for blood bowl and I think Necromunda stuff.

So the Warbringer comes with its weapon cards in addition to its terminal. Impressive.

The starter has two Cerastus terminals, so I guess its one Lancer Scion for each player. Gotta give Forgeworld points for that.

So I assume we can expect a future Warbringer kit with Belicosa, Melta and Gatling.

The rules for psi-titans say they have to be used as support titans, and use their own psychic powers instead of orders. Those powers are 'determined by the Psi-titan class', implying we'll see more than just the Warlord Sinister.

The page also mentions Corrupted Titans & Renegade/Corrupted Knight Banners.

the weapons are together on one sprue so that seems a reasonable assumption.
