If I do buy one, I'll be ordering with that head. Because it's the proper Warlord head.

Yeahhh.. you won't. Can only get that head if you visit Warhammer World here in the UK.

Is that confirmed yet? Because until you can order that head from anywhere, I'm pretty sure it's just a rumour.

There is a lot of people who have 6-figure income, and also is still young and single. Or do you think the Ferraris are driven only by 60-year old CEOs?

In the description it says "Mars-Alpha pattern Warlord Titan Head", assuming there will be at least one more pattern.

Ah, I should have been clearer. I meant that it hadn't been confirmed that it was exclusive to WHW yet, rather than doubting it would be released to the public.

Except that the ferrari helps you to change something about that "single" part.

So a Ferrari might help you get a relationship, but a model costing a fraction of what a Ferrari does can never do the same; and being single with lots of money is somehow worse than being in a relationship with lots of money? I mean, I get that you don't like the cost, but that doesn't mean that nobody else can ever see any value in it.

I have to toss my hat in and say I'm not a fan of the Warlord either, but then again I prefer the Lucious-pattern Warhound to the Mars.

I really hope someone gets laid from having the biggest titan.

That was confirmed to multiple people, including myself, at the recent open day. I live quite close to WW, so if anybody who wants this head and proves to me upfront that they own a Warlord (I want to see the box of bits and the official titan certificate, particularly the titan serial number as I will be checking with FW) I will go and get the limited head for them for the price of the postage.

I'm glad that the MARS variant made it out first - and I am REALLY glad that the more 'modern' Blocktech Pattern isn't the one too!

Of course, at those prices - yeah, I'm never buying one.

All the more reason to hope for a 6mm version!

After seeing the various teasers about this I was pretty stoked when they finally confirmed they were making one.

Aaaaaand I knew the pricetag would make me want to vomit, awesome model, but christ, if I just want an armless Warlord thats like 1300 bucks.

Hopefully the FLGS near me gets one and does it up, only way I'll get near one.

WAIT!!!

Has the Manta been overthrown as the largest 40K model ever, weightwise? Or just as the most expensive?

Nope, the Manta's still top dog (weight/size wise). I mean, the Manta's 3' by 2' by 1' and 12.5kg, and the Warlord's just under 2' high and ~7kg (I think), so it doesn't even come close.

On the other hand, the Manta might as well be a snap fit model compared to the complexity of the Warlord...

Yeah I imagine the complexity is a big part of the price of this compared to the Manta, that and the fact the Manta is what... 7/8 years old? It would probably be more expensive these days.

I might've mentioned this before but someone from B&C who was at the open day was told that if you made a Warlord out of melted down Character Series models, it would cost ~£11,000.

Yeah I tried to tell my girlfriend that £1,200 was a bargain next to that but she wasn't having it haha.

Worth a try, though!

In response to the cost of the Manta, FW prices seem to be relatively unaffected by inflation. I mean, it cost £895 when it came out in 2006, and according to my research, should now cost £1150 if it kept up with inflation, but it actually costs £989.

For those wondering about the scale of the darn thing.

I'd totally date a ceo into Warhammer over one with a fancy car. But I'm kinda a dork girl.

=P

But only if he painted and built it himself.

I really like it.

However, I couldn't even afford a recast one right now!

Ditto with you on this one. But I might be biased because my AdMech army is a Forge World Lucius army.

I'm glad to know girls like this exist. There is hope for my hopelessly-GW-hobby-bound future!

Geez, I can't even imagine how much a recast would cost.

Can't afford it, plus it's too big to properly play with as well!

Also, this version clocks in at 2850 pts, or way too many melta bombs for those who aren't allowed to post point costs.

That's one pretty model!

How many will sell? Will we ever know?

Well, they do come with numbered certificates, I think...

Also, the designer signs each and every instruction manual if that one chap from YouTube is to be believed.

Forgeworld should implement a counter onto product pages that counts the number of times the item has been added to cart worldwide, so it helps with the most popular item sorting.

They already do a sometimes weekly email of their top-ten best sellers.

That only covers the most recent stuff and for that month. I'm talking updates in real time over the course of all time since implementation.

My Mars pattern Warhound 'Bello Canis' (#3102) came with a certificate from the Fabricator-General, so i recon anything larger will definetly have one!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the unboxing video I watched had a numbered certificate.

Also, bloody hell, 3000+ Warhounds by 2012?

They sold the first 6 in 20 minutes at WHW. I know they were the first ones but that's what, 7 and a half grand in 20 minutes.
