Yeah, that's not really about the transfer so much as your technique and what you use to apply it.

I think I'm gonna do a post dedicated to transfers in my P&M blog. I see people goofing up transfers so often, including on minis featured in codicies (although IIRC the 'Eavy Metal team don't use any varnishes or sealers for photography reasons, and that would be a problem for transfers).

Back in the day didn't the 'Eavy metal team paint over the transfers using them as a guide?

that's what i do, Zuul...
at least around the film, since i don't use varnish until after the final pics...

i rarely use transfers, but those new sheets are damn pretty...
it would be interesting to see how a whole decal looks on a banner...
i've never tried that before, but it would save a lot of struggle for those who don't like painting freehand...

cheers

Exciting!

A.. a new Knight variant?

edit.



GLORIOUS.

So people reckon that's a Warlord, but if it were I don't think it would look that much like a Knight. Knights and proper Titans are seperate entities and so a Warlord would look more in the vein of the Reaver.

it looks very much like it has the full "beetle-back" style of the original warlord titan model. Its not two seperate shoulders, its a continuous carapace. This makes be go towards the warlord rather than a new knight.

Also we havent seen any sneak preview of this "knight" at the weekender or elsewhere, meaning that this project is super-secret. Again making me think warlord not knight

I still think this could be a titan, perhaps they are bringing the Titans and Knights into a single stylistic direction.

Looks like two seperate shoulders to me...

Check out the kneepad in the upper right at 0:52... Compare with the one in the lower left at 1:01... it's the same model, and bigger than the Reaver.

Well if it is a Warlord, I'm not impressed. Just a bigger Knight is not what I envisioned.

Crap. Warlord. Well, saving money starting next paycheck (have to grab some mechanicus first)

Guess they dropped the idea of the Reaver and Warlord sharing weapons :( On the other hand, the Warlord seems to be mounting heavier carapace weapons, like the old epic ones, instead of just the same as the reaver.

I'm going to stick with Knight variant, probably the Knight-Crusader or Knight Baron pattern at long last.

the carapace/shoulder set up is significantly different than the cerastus knight config, the shoulders on the cerastus are lower at their highest point than the top of the central carapace. This thing is the other way around - the "shoulders" are higher than the central carapace

It could very well be up-armoured to offer better protection, as the patterns I mentioned are.

So I don't know what this is going to be but. I can say one thing, after reading through 10 pages of hate on the elder rumours at least all we have to decide is if we are getting a warlord or a new knight.
So glad I switched to HH/FW products recently

I really can't fathom why people think this is a knight variant. Ok, I'm getting on a bit, but it's clearly an updated, W40k scale "beetle back" Warlord Titan. Ok, so the head is stylistically similar to the Knights, but is it such a problem that there should be similarities?

We'll find out at the opening of Warhammer World I suppose, though I'm going to stick with an up-armoured and upgunned Knight variant.

Plus, IIRC, during the weekender they mentioned still working on the Warlord and that it would still be quite some time off before being in any state of readiness.

It's not just 'similarities' to the Knights. It's literally an upscaled Knight. I just don't like that as a Warlord. It should feel different to the Knights, because it is...

Question is- which of you would actually go buy a Warlord?! Lol.

I guess we will find out, but i seem to recal them doing the same with the Reaver...

Book 4 talked about a smaller warlord with a very similar load out to that picture: two arm weapons, two carapace weapons, all four seemingly Reaver standard weapons.

I'm expecting it to be that. I'm guessing this will be out for the Warhammer World open day next month at the latest. I am going to be very broke as I already had a sizable shopping list that I wanted to pick up when I went there.

Warlord! Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

Weapons that I can see: Chainfist, Quake Cannon and a Carapace Lasblaster. Can't see the other shoulder

It's a titan. The video shows a warhound, a reaver, and the new kit in sequence. The reaver you can also see a pair of the new warlords to either side. Also it has the T for Titan markings on the shins.

Looks like it is not too much taller than the reaver, but it is a lot bulkier- wide.

Me. After some Skitarii kits, I am not going to buy any more models until this guy comes out. Both to save money for it (I expect the body to be around 700 pounds, with the weapons at 70 each) and to give myself time to finish painting my Reaver, Warhound, and Knights.

That looks like a Warlord Volcano cannon, not a quake cannon. And that is not a chainfist. it is another gun with the crenelated ridge on top like the Reaver Melta cannon.

It is supposed to be 24" tall the carapace weapons are the Warhounds primary weapons and the Reaver apoc launcher.
And Yes I am going to buy one if I need to sell things I will.

This. The original Beetle-back Warlord model looks a lot like the current GW Knight. That Beetle-back plastic Epic Warlord could be individualised with about two dozen head options (including chaos parts). Here is the catalogue page

There were also prototype Warlords like this one



Given the 'upscaling dramatae' of the video it looks like a FW Warlord model is coming

After a 2nd look, I reckon you're right - that isn't a Chainfist. Still reckon the left hand is a Quake Cannon though. Much bulkier than the Volcano Cannon that we saw for the reaver

A smaller Warlord was already introduced? That seems to be it then
