Only being the Imperium it’s actually a miniature city….

Lol... In the grim darkness of the far future, there are STILL DISCUSSIONS ABOUT TITAN SCALE.

Does make me giggle.

**endlesswaltz123**

Those are just artists who have fethed up the scale. The current 40k/forgeworld models are actually somewhat realistic if that can even be attributed to such things.

If the artist impressions were correct then titans would quite literally rofflestomp enemies into the ground and level entires cities with one shot, the cannons would be a danger to low orbit starships also. You would have to have one yourself to take them out as the sheer mass of the thing is going to be extremely difficult to penetrate and stop once it has momentum.

**Nostromodamus**

Exaggeration of scale for artistic effect is ok imho, especially if you imagine some of these pieces being used for Imperial propaganda

Keep to scale for minis and tech diagrams, but I think art is fair game for variety.

Defence Lasers used to be a weapon type for Warlord class Titans, and they were indeed stated to be equivalent to the orbital defence weapon.

Personally, I'd love to see some Epic scale action return, and I'd be fine if they made it purely Heresy era. I'd be extremely happy if they upscaled the Titans but kept the original 6mm scale (and square bases for infantry), as I still have a boatload of minis sat in a box gathering dust...

**Macrossmartin**

There's no reason why an 8mm scale Titan couldn't be fielded amongst 6mm or even 3mm scenery, by those for whom there's no such thing as a giant, stompy robot that's too big.

I suspect a number of my old 6mm plastic land raiders, etc, will find their way onto my Titan's bases as scenic items.

Dammit, now I want to make a 40k themed mini golf course. All skulls everywhere and double-headed eagle with wings outstretched aroundthe hole to protect it, so you have to putt your ball (golden of course) between the individual feather blades…

Now I want a titan with a massive golf club as a close combat weapon...

I admire your drive! Hopefully your modelling skills are up to par so you can realise your dreams to a tee and make everyone green with envy. I’d be useless at it, always putting it off even if I’d made it a fairway through the project.

**Mysterio**

I came for the Adeptus Titanicus news, and got the 36 handicap Ha-Ha Posts instead!

**schoon**

Not much in the way of new info, but here you go.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Right, had a read, and then bleached my eyeballs, because BoLS.

It's a bunch of Faeit rumours. Nothing new that I can see. So if like me you'd rather avoid BoLS, just hunt it down on Faeit.

No new info there that we don't already know. Knowing BoL(lock)s, it'll be lifted from various sources including, probably, this thread

**BrookM**

I'll just repost it here and spare people the trip:

Just heard some interesting things concerning Titanicus and Battlefleet gothic. Source is reliable

Titanicus

Coming out this year
Warlord will be the size of a knight: the warlord is the size of a knight I mean standard gw knight so roughly six inches tall.
All titans will be released and all knights in gw and forge world range
All in plastic
No epic in the works

Battlefleet gothic

Horus heresy set
Same model as necromunda e.g. Base models gw with forge world upgrades.
All legions with Imperial fleet.
If popular will expand to 41st millennium

**Kid_Kyoto**

For what it's worth I'm a gonna start a BFG thread.

In other words: nothing really new yet.

**Chopstick**

Knight size is too big for me, I'd probably made an army out of warhound and Knight.

When it say All knight I wonder if it also include the Armiger, because if normal Knight is terminator size then Armiger would be...Gretchin size?

Well, they are actually talking about BFG. That's new.

**Vorian**

We've heard that before. From the last FW open thingy

**RiTides**

Let's take BFG rumor discussion to this new thread:

**zedmeister**

Looks like Adeptus Titanicus is making some sort of showing at Warhammer Fest!

Spoiler:

**Mr_Rose**

There you go, guys: Seminar room 2 at 1400 for the big reveal and Demo Pod 2 right after to get your first game(s) in. Everyone going there: bring back many photos and ask lots of sensible questions!

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Tell me a 4G enabled Dakkanaut is attending!

**Yodhrin**

Are they finally going to drag themselves into the 2010's and actually stream the seminars this time? Or are we still getting the "nyeeeh exclusivity" excuse for them not wanting to go to the effort?

**Racerguy180**

I really do hope that GW at least give a vague eta for Titanicus. with the new video game it should be a good tie in/way getting new people into 30/40k.

I will be attending with a 4G enabled phone and my instagram profile as the main picture dump. Will attempt to get to as many seminars as possible on video with stabilized camera. I can't promise anything, sometimes there are limited seats, but if possible, I will record everything. (Unless I am told that doing so is not allowed, of course.)

Can I ask - if you can't get video, could you try and manage audio? Pictures of pictures on a projector screen are pretty much just as good as video of pictures on a projector screen, what's missing for those of us who can't attend is being able to hear the specific comments and anecdotes and design insights of the people giving the seminars.

I'll do what I can. That's a good point actually. My original plan was to do video+audio on the phone, but I will have to see what is possible. :-)

Thanks, Xanthos

Thanks for looking out for us, Xanthos!
