Yeah, the option for claws is an interesting one. 4 attacks per knight and one heck of a Charge isn't the worst deal if you can also run a couple of surprise Gravs in their midst to mess with your opponent's positioning for long range units to exploit. The Gravs might still be mostly for funsies, they don't really need them except to auto-Shake other knights due to Concussive.

The gravs I'm not sold on, my fear is rotating the enemy titan and losing side or rear arc or worse potentially bringing their fron arc to bear and making it so they can hit back in their activation. I like the pushing result that can cause a titan collide with stuff but it's hard to guarantee.

Don’t forget they also get to reduce the strength of incoming blast weapons as well so you can avoid a complete toasting from plasma blastguns...

Yeah, my hope would be with a 2 knight banner to just hide them as much as possible.

New Atrapos, they messed up the range of the weapon again

Oh, nice models.

The lascutter will be lethal with Fusion and that re-roll of 1 to hit on larger targets

Meh, they got lazy and didn't sculpt a new leg pose for it.

I can't explain how much they messed up the gun on that thing, a damn shame. The lascutter seems underwhelming, they describe it like cutting legs off of titans. Disappointed.

sweeeeeet

Certainly eating those words...

Another FW release so the next GW titan should be with us shortly...

At this rate I don't want another titan, they'll just mess it up. It really feels like whoever wrote the rules for these don't play the game.

Castigator got plastic but Atrapos didn't.

Great choice.

It's even more lazy for a resin kit, same leg pose as plastic one, not even an open version of the gun.

But then again, resin = wallet saved, so It's a win for me either way.

"A Strength of 6 and 3” Blast means units of smaller foes will be torn apart, and not even the thick armour of Battle Titans will be proof against such force."

Ahhahaa, in what universe
Right, that is just hilarious. I don't doubt the gun can actually do things, Str 6 can do work in numbers and so on, but to say it's something impressive in a couple of Blasts is just pure marketing spiel. For some reason these bits always seem to think low strength shots are effective against Knights.

The cutter on the other hand can be pretty nice, because that actually can be massed and the d10 does hurt. When you're looking at results of 11 on the average and more when your nippy Knights are positioned to someone's sides, piling on those attacks will kill Titans.

I just can't believe they forgot they wrote rules in the core rulebook for vortex and then didn't use them. This thing should have been an incredibly rare deadly killer and instead its a likely over costed joke. Was reading fluff of one of them cutting the leg out from one titan to have it fall into the other, doesn't seem remotely possible with these rules.

Agreed and if it was a plastic kit they'd pack in in a box of 4 anyway

Yeah, the Lascutter does seem to be the star of the show. The Gavition Singularity Cannon would be just right.... against squadrons of Baneblades and Land Raiders.

Lasutter is definitely a nasty piece of work. Having a bunch of them carve up a reaver in the rear and then slapping it about with the graviton cannon. They'll definitely make a nuisance of themselves

Also these don't seem to come with the crotch banner, come on, even the plastic one on a tiny sprue had them, what's the excuse for the resin kit? Too lazy? Too incompetent?

Just checked crucible of retribution and the artwork shows the thigh armour too just like the 30k/40k model.

Another addition to Adeptus Knightanicus that I'll gladly ignore. Good news is that we only have Dominus and and Asterius to go now before the Knight well runs dry and they're forced to make something new for a new release.

Ya true, which reminds me I probably should paint my asterius conversion.

There're knight preceptor and chaos knights.

Armiger also have 4 different version.

Not to mention knight asterius

That's enough release to drag this game on for another .... 3-4 years.

Chopstick wrote:

Well if the preceptor has the same weapon as the atrapos I can see it being sorta hit and miss. Chaos knights sound awesome, but honestly hope they get their own plastic, which sadly is not likely. Probably just resin kits or upgrade kits.

It's not the same weapon, Preceptor las impulsor is a gun, not a melee weapon. Atrapos lascutter is a welding tool, las impulsor is more of a laser shotgun.

You had me at laser shotgun

Quite surprised you would feel that way. Has the Warbringer upset that balance in the titan roster, do you think?

So I follow this thread passively... It's sometimes cool to see where AT is going.

But I'm not that keen on these models.

Have they ever, since released, teased/hinted at/winked/raised their eyebrows at the possibility of releasing Xenos titans?

I'd buy Eldar in a heartbeat if they introduced them to this game. I'd even consider Ork!

(but I think they never will. Am I wrong???)

Tiny marine and tank got more chance of being released than Xenos titans.

One can hope, I mean, the eldar titans do exist as models...but I'd be much more inclined to believe GW would first do the various space marine/admech superheavy vehicles than the ready-to-go xenos titans, because GW is allergic to xenos.

Imperials on imperials every game all day babyyyyyyyyy

I dunno, I find warlords too unwieldly most of the time, so warbringer has certainly become my preference over warlord. Rapier sounds cool but warhound is about as light a titan as I want, unless it's just the same as a warhound with lighter armour/faster movement. Something conceiveable between warhound and reaver but I dunno.

I'm surprised that we see the next Titan Model that soon...

Agree.

Alone from the point that it's easier to realize.

Chopstick wrote:

Or any more Titans, apparently.

While I like the models I’m bored of Adeptus Knightanicus.

To be honest, we're not going to see another Titan release until at least the next book so January at the earliest. The next Engine Kill will probably have a teaser.

These knights are to fill the gaps. Shame they haven't done some of the more esoteric Titan Weapons or even just a Reaver Carapace Plasma Blastgun for example or the Saturnyne Lascutter for the Warlord

Thats a good point as the Warhound and Acastus make up that fine line between titan and knight. As the Acastus provides firepower to rival a titan, maybe the Rapier is the titan's answer to the speedy-melee advantage of the knights?

A titan between the hound and reaver would be ideal. The reaver and hounds are our preferred titans but we'd like another option. If such a titan is released and uses weapons from either the Warhound or Reaver, we'll be pleased.

Glad to hear you have taken a shine to the Warbringer. Its point value is still steep( for a low point game ) but its stats do look good. Was hoping its price would have been inbetween the Reaver and Warlord, but sadly not to be. Still, its one we keep in mind just incase...
