Very pretty.

Damned shame that there's no other arm. I realise a fist wouldn't reach the ground, but a big power lance would've been nice.

That's a good call!

It has been so long since I played a game of SPACE MARINE/TITAN LEGIONS, I forgot about that option!

Maybe that's the direction FW will go with their first add-on kit?

Though I'd much prefer that the lance be in plastic, and not resin...

Well the Lances were for Knight Lancers, which was a different type of Knight, with a different type of body. The should have included the fist option since they included the Melta, to make Knight Errant.

If these sell well I wonder if they will make the other classes too?

The shock lance that all knights had isn't mentioned specifically, but maybe thats why they get all those close combat special rules.

Mephiston red spray might help you there

Thanks. Its been awhile since I approached a GW so had forgotten about the new sprays.

It will probably be a paint before constructing as I have a handy metallic spray to do the under skeleton.

Wouldn't rapid fire, ordnance 2, fire 4 shots at half range?

These look awesome and that new faceplate looks great, although I prefer the exposed mechanical skull look myself.

The giant chainsword is and isn't a problem for me. It looks a wee bit on the small side, but at the same time it's at a perfect height to strike similarly sized or bigger opponents. I figure anything smaller (like those killa kans) would just get stomped on.

That is a very silly question.

Wow, fairly broken a little. Nice looking Warmachine models. I don't think I will be playing them, they are a bit too OP. My Spartan is 340 and not near as powerful as these things. One wont be too bad, if someone were to field an army of them in a friendly pick up game, I am picking up my stuff and finding a new opponent. An army of them would be interesting for a special scenario where I could build a force in advance specifically to deal with it but I cant think of a TAC list that could handle them that I use.

It might be called a rapid-fire cannon, but if it doesn't have rapid fire in its rules, it doesn't rapid fire.

Does anyone happen to have a photo of the 15mm scale Dreamforge Titan next to some of the GW Kits, say a contemport, Riptide, Wraithknight, etc....?

Would love to see that!

Dreadnoughts 2.25 to 3.25" (GW & FW)
15mm DF 4.6" (from their website)
Trygon 5.25"
Nemesis about 6"
IK 6" (best guess by community)
Lord of Skulls 6.5"
DF 28mm model 8.5"
Riptide 8.75" (base to backpack)
Eldar WK 9"
FW smallest titan 10.5"

There are picks way back in posts.....

Holy crap, the new pictures make them look even more badass!

Sisters can. Up to 3 as an ally.

So based on that it sounds like the DF 15mm Leviathans will be too small to work as knights? Blah. Size wise that makes them good for what? Absolutely nothing?

Dreadknights and if you hunker it down a bit contemptors. That's what the 4.5" leviathan is good for counts-as. And it looks good like that. Alternatively for those of use that like to make cohesive looking allied units it's also good on an elevated stand as a riptide.

Thanks Theophony!

@Hulk - I wish it was the same size as the knights. Blargh.

Do agree that it's a much better version of the dreadknight though!

I like the armored up one as a stand-in for a riptide in my "Dark Mechanicus" forces but yeah, it makes an awesome dreadknight too.

The Knight is literally smack in the middle size-wise between the mini and full sized leviathans. If GW didn't plan it that way then they lucked out.

We do not know if Sisters can take one. One rumor said they would be available to every forces of the Imperium, another rumor said store manager were send a note saying they would be available to Imperial Guard and the 5 Space Marines army (there are six SM armies if you count Chaos Marines. BROKEN !)

I think it's safe to assume that Sisters are also part of the Imperium and as such, also allowed to ally with them.

I would not make any assumption based on GW having common sense.

You don't count Chaos Marines as a "Space Marine" army.

Plus there's only 4 Space Marine armies anyways.
Blood Angels, Dark Angels, Space Wolves, and Space Marines.
Grey Knights are their 'own' faction that is part of the Imperium, same as Sisters of Battle being their own faction that is part of the Imperium.

From the wording of the White Dwarf snippet which is on the front page--you'll be able to take them though.

The Sororitas does tend to get forgoten by GW when they make these sort of descisions..............

I do. Why should I not ? The only infantry they have that is not space marines is cultist, and maybe some chaos spawn.

 Kanluwen wrote:

And Blood Angels are their own faction that is part of the Imperium too. They are still marines. Grey Knights are space marines because they have the same implants as other marines, and they are even called a chapter. They have been included into many lists of chapters.
Sisters are not marines because of a lot of obvious reasons that you should be able to find out on your own.

I think water is made of condensed fairy dust. Doesn't make it true.

Chaos Space Marines are not considered a "Space Marine" army by any rules GW or FW have made.

According to my local GW store manager info will be formally releases on the GW website tomorrow evening, New release updates are done on the websites last thing workday Fridays which is 7pm for website staff. Formal release date is this Saturday.

The fire base support cadre dataslate has this which might help

Bane of Angels: All units in this formation have the Preferred Enemy (Space Marines)
special rule. However, all enemy Space Marine units have the Hatred (Tau Firebase Support
Cadre) special rule. The category ‘Space Marines’ comprises all units taken from the
following codexes: Space Marines, Blood Angels, Dark Angels, Grey Knights and Space
Wolves.

Thus GK are SM but CSM are not.

I took a few with a riptide next to the 28 mm version here

In Soviet Russia, Tide Rips you!

Don't play Imperial Guard so I'm not relevant when it comes to buying (not that I ever would at that price), but I personally think that either head is too small, or the hump is too big, makes it kinda funny looking up top, a bit of smallheaditis. Otherwise they captured the baby-titan feel for the Imperials pretty well.

Agree on the small head, although will want to see the model in person before making a final decision. Making the head the size of the head cowling would make it big enough for the pilot to fit into. Might be something for third party producers to look into. I'm sure alternate heads would be popular.

Might be fun to modify the skull head on the red one and give it four light sabers (General Grievous).

I can't see the new pics. ;_; Damned government firewall!
