I can haz titans?

(Seriously can't wait for the news from tomorrow's seminar.)

Some bits and bobs lifted from b&c

Via Phosphex Party at the Titandeath seminar

Titans!
• Andy Hoare heavily hinted towards a Battlefleet Heresy game set in the Sea of Fire.
• Will Hayes working on a new titan model.
• Titanicus: Plastic Knights and scenery in the box with Resin add on packs. It’s release date is still a secret but they’ll be showing us stuff soon™️ expect a busy few months of new releases for it.
• Titans will have personalities and preferred behaviours.
• Ordo Sinister being saved and not in initial release of Titandeath.
• Titanicus: May be all plastic. Some resin add ons much like Necromunda.
• Ursus Claws have been mentioned.
• Some variation in kits to establish allegiance.
• Magnet holes are designed into the kits

Thanks! According to the B&C discussion the Guy Haley part is a misquote, it's going to be a novel.

Ursus claw?

Oh boy, here's hoping someone is insane enough to build a proper Legio Audax then!

**Pacific**

Ooh no where are the Warped Dogs?

The comment on the AT box confuses though - is it going to be just plastic Knights and terrain, or is that in addition to some, you know, actual Titans for the Adeptus Titanicus boxed set?

In general though, positive news.

**Elbows**

A starter box without an actual titan would be rather...silly. I think the starter box should include something akin to:

1x Wolfhound Titan
3x Imperial Knights

(per side)

Something simple like that.

Tiniest of crumbs of information, but gratefully received all the same

**GoatboyBeta**

A bit more info via Garro on facebook

Seminar was talking about the events at beta-garmon, which is the main muster point entering/leaving the segmentum solar. This because the only major safe warp route during the heresy.

Several titan legions and billions of infantry were involved with the attempts to take and control the BG system. This conflict is where the main campaign for Adeptus titanicus will be set at.

There was a fair bit of info given for AT but as it's a 'instore’ release, head office is a lot more strict on info.

Basically the game is scheduled and on target. The planned release date hasn't changed for several months, and will have a considerable release amount in the few months after as well.

FW have the main box, the three main titans (warhound, reaver, and warlord) out in plastic, and several kights (all present FW and GW knights are coming). PLUS plastic scenery and gaming tiles are coming near release as well.

Talking of the titan kits, they will be plastic and have several weapon options in the box, with the kit designed to be magnetised without issue. They will also include several different cosmetic options like the knight kits do (heads, banners, armour plates etc)

FW are planning several resin kits to add legio specific icons, additional weapons, and heads. Most of the new stuff is being sculpted at 28mm scale and scaled down for easy of work, so we could see additional and missing titan weapons coming g for 40k should demand be there.

I wonder if the "all present" knights coment is a hint that the Armiger wont be in the game(at first anyway).

**MajorWesJanson**

FW stole my Legio name, but looking at the Nova Guard, if they come out with a decal set and it looks good, they will be forgiven.

**Binabik15**

Mini Knights in plastic! Yes!

Now add full infanrry and tank lines.

I presume this means Chaos eventually won at Beta-Garmon since they made it to Terra.

Dude spoilers much?

**Racerguy180**

This whole revamp is gonna be badass. I might actually play Chaos now.

**Kid_Kyoto**

So any other Battlefleet Heresy info other than, coming someday?

Probably not worth including in the title.

**schoon**

Like the magnetized titan options, as well as the "personalities" concept.

Back to being patient to the next seminar...

**Warhams-77**

Via B&C, sounds like AT will get announced soon

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

They've thoroughly denied that in reply to my comments on it. Picked up on their 'it's not the old classic epic', pointing out that doesn't actually prevent it being AT. They continued to deny. In what I felt was a slightly humourless way (may just be the way I read it)

**zedmeister**

Looks like some sort of diorama or base. Maybe Alpharius's base or a Warhammer World display in progress?

Can't see it being related to AT

**Nostromodamus**

~~Sacred Lubing Intensifies~~

**Malika2**

Looks like the diorama based to tease us that retro RT era Land Speeder...

**Nurglitch**

Neat stuff! Pretty excited to see what they come out with!

**Pacific**

I can't imagine that they would use the term 'Epic' without it being in reference to AT?

It's very difficult to ascertain anything from the pic - perhaps is it some kind of sculpted terrain?

Does anyone else have any gossip?

**MIKEtheMERCILESS**

Imagine if the success of the previous specialist games like Bloodbowl and Necromunda led them to go back and re-imagine Adeptus Titanicus as new Epic, what with the new confidence they would have.

Of course almost 0% chance. But I like to imagine.

**Pacific**

I'm not sure if, going from the format of previous releases, GW would have capacity to re-create Epic in its entirety.
If you imagine the size of each miniature range for each army, it would amount to dozens of new lines.

And there have already been comments about the new lines for Necro and BB not being released fast enough (and those require relatively far fewer new lines)

So I don't think 0% but probably getting on there!

I'm hoping for a great new Titan 'skirmish' game which does something a bit different to classic Epic, and then some lovely new (correctly scaled) Titans that can be used by the Epic playing community for the existing Armageddon and NetEpic games

They already upgraded it once from resin to plastic. I doubt they would do it again. They always have that option down the line if the initial release does well.
This year is the 30th anniversary of Adeptus titanicus and of my involvement in the hobby. They had better release it this year!

Since titans came first, I'd argue the titans were the 'right' scale - it's everything else that's wrong! :-)
