That is a big mamma-jamma.

I fear how big a model like that may cost. The manta may no longer be the most expensive FW toy.

That's definitely going to need some metalwork to keep it intact

Seconded.

Makes me glad i'd already planned on going for an ordinatus - this new titan is really going to push the hardship/enjoyment ratio of a build. (for me)

Is that meant to be anti-personnel heavy stubbers sticking out the legs or some other design feature?

Attachment points for pistons.

Based on the dome shaped holes in the feet, and the semi-circular gullies on the legs, I reckon those are the piston attachment points, and the little prongs are probably how the armour plating protecting the leg will be attached in a way that avoids interfering with the movement of the joint.

Thank you (and Haighus)

I hope it has rules where it can stomp ID knights, it sure looks like it should be able too. That can't be far off a shoe size 5 or 6. Huge.

Well, with Strength D being forced into normal 40k with a crowbar, I'd say that the Warlord would be a good model to introduce the new and improved Strength DD ... weapons!

The titan foot looks so cool. Now the real questions for gamers...

1. What size base does it go on?
2. Will Forge World sell a special carrying case for it... That you can threaten to stuff your little brother in if he touches your minis?
3. When will GW produce this as a plastic kit?

1) Nightstand game legal base that fits into a small coffee table top display base similar to the primarch models base approach.

2) Yes, grimdark skull covered 55 gallon drums with custom foam will be the next entry in GW's new storage line.

3) It's in the queue right after the thunderhawk and squats.

You're right, I meant book 5.

New bulletin with the Warlord Titan leg...

Building commences on something huge!

there are going to be 8 sets of pistons per leg 4 like the Reaver and 4 between the toes you can see the mounting points on the foot, the socket ones connect higher up the shin at the top of the picture

Can you imagine the resin casts for those pieces? O.O

This should forever end the debate about which tabletop wargame has the LARGEST models, anyhow. The only real question is how many people you need to coral in to help you move your model each turn. But, it's not like they'll be looking at anything else in the store

...but before new SoB models probably...

It took me 2 months to do a Warhound. I can't imagine doing a Warlord...

I'm still not done painting my warhound and reaver.
Build wise, that looks far easier than the reaver foot.

I'd guess the big toes have a single large piston that is 2 part, then a screw gear mount from the piston to the shin. Bi armor plates mount up top with the small pegs to keep it in place. Then 4 smaller toes that mount between the bigger ones.

It's hard to tell how much the footprint is bigger.

It certainly looks like you could get 2 1/2 marines, base to base, along one of those side toes. Compared to maybe one and a half with the Reaver?

A Reaver toe is about the same area as a 40mm square base. The foot is basically a 60mm base with 40mm bases at the cardinal points.

The Warlord toe is probably about a 50mm square base. Then the foot itself looks to be about 90-100mm round.

As for price, I'd expect about 1000 GBP. About the same as the Manta, or a Reaver + a Warhound.

I just hope it has rules that allow it to walk away from close combat. A bunch of Guardsmen should not be able to tarpit a Warlord and keep guns that are over 50 feet up in the air from firing.

Now that Destroyer and Superheavy is being pushed into normal games, they really need to reboot both of those rules to avoid stupid situations like this, and the blandification of superheavies. When the only difference between the damage a Titan mounted Volcano cannon and a handheld Wraithcannon can do is in range and blast size, it really devalues the giant titans. And letting a grot tie up a Heirophant or Phantom is an idiotic change from Apoc I. And going from a vehicle damage chart to simply ignoring it on superheavies is the wrong direction. When you have 1 or 2 titans, you can afford to get into more complex bookkeeping like the old hit locations. Imagine how much better a narrative you could forge by say choosing to shoot at the spindly, hard to hit leg of a heirophant or revenant titan. Much harder to hit the target, but if you do, you can cripple it's movement. Or aim for the enemy weapons to try to defang it. Or aim for a lucky decapatation shot. Far more dramatic and exciting than "I hit. d3 hull points. It has 7 hull points left.

It'll be easier just to move everything else on the table as if this moved .

Sweet.. so instead of Stomp, we have... CRUSH!

Instead of Stomp, we have "Mega Stomp".

Mega Stomp: For every movement a model with this special rule takes, calculate how many steps it would need to travel that distance. For each step, every model on the table automatically suffers the effects of Strikedown and Concussive and then dies.

A Warlord Titan is going to be moving much, if at all, ever, on a 40K table, is it?

Maybe if you're playing 4' x 8' the long ways?

It's got that 6" pile in at the end of combat with some grots.

This thing is going to cost more than a Manta...

This reminds me of having to pin Crisis suit ankles that would snap under their own weight.

Maybe I should sell all of my 40k stuff and buy a Warlord. That way when people ask if I play 40k I can nod yes and when they ask the army, I canjust say "Warlord titan"
