I think it might be time to take the Rivet Talk over to 40K General Discussions, maybe?

thanks!

Now, I must insist.

Thanks!

To be fair though, they are not talking about the rivets. They're debating the value of the plating details like the cross on its chin, which I think manages to be relevant enough, because it is specific to this model rather than debating rivets in general.

That said, I like that sculpted detail myself. As long as it's the design, I think sculpted looks better than freehand or transfers.

Seriously?

How about we don't try so hard to make this thread stay on topic and just, you know, stay on topic?

Thirded.

Anyway, I wonder just how large the Warlord's going to be. Something like a proportional increase from the Reaver compared to how much larger the Reaver is than the Warhound seems logical.

From the looks of the head, compared to the head of the Reaver, it looks way bigger, but it also seems like the Warlord has a proportionally bigger head compared to its body than the Reaver itself?

But to make a (hopefully) valid contribution, I do hope that they get the proportions right with the Warlord, the Warhound is great (the Chaos one is a firm fixture in y "one day" list) but I've always felt the Reaver looked a little too pinched in the waste, I think it needs to be broader and squatter, it looks a little too tall, slender and top heavy for my tastes, and while admirable qualities in a woman, are not what I look for in an Imperial Titan!

Just keep your eyes open for those Slaaneshi Titans...

I'm expecting the Warlord to look a lot like a 3 up Knight based on the leg and head we have seen before so it'll have the same "tiny" waist as the Reaver, skinny legs with big pauldrons, lots of moulded on baroque detail (rather than optional stuff provided on a sprue that you can glue on yourself), etc.

I thought we heard that the Warlord would be 24" tall? I can't remember where I heard or read that but I think it was officially confirmed as the target height?

The Reaver is around 16" tall depending on how you pose it, so the Warlord is 50% larger. The Warhound is around 10" tall, meaning that the Reaver is about 60% taller, although I'm expecting the Warhound to "feel" bigger compared to the Reaver than the Reaver to the Warhound as the Warhound will have bigger, broader shoulders to mount the above shoulder guns.

Well, all that speculation can take a double-tap to the back of the head this Saturday when Warhammer World reopens.

Looking forwards to the day, should be fun

Lists for Imperialis Milita and Cult are included in book V, rather excited now!

The Warlord looks like a much bigger Cerastus with 80s shoulder pads as I thought:

Due to renovations in my apartment I had to stash away all my models and painting stuff and I was too lazy to pull it out again ... but I guess Book V and the model of Roboute G. will bring me back to the hobby table ...

This is the book I've been most excited for.

The warlord looks like it is gonna be massive!!

A lot of the artwork in the new HH books is actually photography so if that's true of the pic above the Warlord probably is about 24 inches tall.

And I wasn't sure about the design but now I've seen it in full it is actually a lovely update of the original plastic Adeptus Titanicus models.

As for Tempest - OMG I am sooooo excited!!!

Yeah I've come around to the Warlord too. I was just put off a little because it's basically a bigger Knight and I was expecting something more like the Reaver, but the sheer scale of it has won me round.

And the rest! I reckon about 40".

We should start a sweep stake!

Now that is a teaser. I was going to hold off getting the book. After that, no chance! Love the look of Word Bearers Diabolist. Gives me hopes for the Alpha Legion Saboteur appearing.

As for the Warlord... Love it. Cross between the Mk1 Mars and Mk2 Metalicus warlord. Nicely done

Email newsletter I got said Book 4 Tempest to launch.

Yeah I noticed that too haha.

I must admit, I am really liking the look of, what I assume is, Roboute. Very Romanesque, he's how I pictured Caesar somehwat

Edit. Nice shot of a Gothic class Cruiser. Come back BFG. Please. Pretty please

I know. The pics in the previous books, like the one of Perturabo's flagship make me weep for the lost potential. I think FW did say at one of their events that they would like to do 30K BFG, but that it is incredibly unlikely to happen.

I reckon it's more likely a short-sighted GW main stopping any attempt - "I don't care how much money you'll get it in, no cannibalising of the core range!". Alan Bligh is a massive BFG fan and is rumoured to still play and run campaigns. I can see him busting to do something at the very least.

Yeah that portrait of Guilliman is probably the best one of those they've done imo.

Not sure if that's what the average italian looks like - or looked like 50 bc.

Looking forward to this book alright, kinda curious if there will be extra Knight goodness in there as well. I hope not, otherwise it'll be a must-buy for me.

That Word Bearer guy. I don't care what he is, I want one.

Sweet! Can't wait to see what rules he and the Ultramarines get.

My god that thing looks awesome.

Also Rowboat girlyman..

When are we getting Dorn?

I'm glad that they're coming out with the titan but that video makes it feel a bit like an upgraded version of the second vraks book that should have been subtitled "we've got a reaver!".

Is Roboute Guilliman really that hard to type?

Some babies are just still not okay with the Ultramarines these days.

Been waiting for the Utras, now for the 1k Sons
