Keep in mind the Warlord has Machine Destroyer on its main guns.

It's not a very significant advantage since it's only re-rolling 1s, and only on two of its eight shots. The 16% increase in per-gun firepower (ignoring 6s) is only a 4% increase in overall firepower, and only brings the 2:1 ratio in shot count down to 1.92:1. Even if you do the harder math and include 6s the Warlord is still out-gunned by a huge margin.

You all leave out the fact hat the warlord can curb stomp/ kick the war hounds for extra points where the others can't even

the warlord in close combat

I leave it out because it isn't relevant. Titan vs. titan is all about shooting, you're almost never going to survive long enough to get into melee range or get through the screening units blocking a successful charge.

**MajorWesJanson**

On a normal table, the Maniple has the advantage. On a large Apoc sized battlefield, if we are assuming Laser Blaster Reaver to maximize shots, the Warlord can start puttin a pair of D shots onto the maniple from 180", while all the turbolasers are limited to 96"

That Daemon is with Chaos Knights though and not Space Marines, whats going on

**Lockark**

In the age of sigmar their is only nurgle and khorn.

I can safely say the FW model I am most hyped for is Alpharius. He has enormous potential, and if they mess him up (like they did Sevatar, who should have had a calmer, less wide pose, and a better helmet) I will be most sad.

With his Pale Spear, I imagine him to be posed something like Vulkan He'stan.

Spoiler:

Of course, both He'stan and Sigismund had roughly that pose, and perhaps Alpharius deserves something newer.

**Yaraton**

FW did an excellent job with Armillus Dynat, so they could do a good job with Alpharius if they wanted to make an effort. But then again, Alpharius in the Extermination has only a helmeted head picture so there is no guarantee.

**Ashiraya**

I pray that the model will be helmeted as well.

He is the only Primarch to be helmeted in art, and his helmet looks simply great to boot.

Of course, whether that helmet will translate well into a model remains to be seen. Armillus Dynat, while a far better model than Sevatar, suffered just as much from having his head translated from art to model.

**Grarg**

If they give alpharius a helmet I shall be throughly pissed off.

**Alpharius**

Prepare to be pissed off!

If we're lucky, he'll have options for both.

Or maybe Omegon will?

**Tannhauser42**

I would be highly amused if FW made an Omegon model simply by 3d scanning Alpharius and mirror-imaging it.

Aaaah... No.

Spoiler:

**Ashiraya**

Blanche's HH art is bad and should feel bad.

**Bronzefists42**

Also he was referring to the updated FW book art (where he does have a helmet).

Yes, the master of disguise has one of the flashiest helmets going. Presumably prolonged exposure to plain battle-plate builds up to a point where he just can't take it any more and has to bust out his whole wardrobe, possibly with a Broadway-style number on laud hailer to truly intimidate the foe.

Early morning, lack of coffee, the mind can do strange things.

Guess that's why he turned, sick of people misspelling his name to Alpharius when it should be Alphabulus.

You might have noticed that something exceptionally huge deployed onto the Forge World website last week. The Mars pattern Warlord Titan is available to order now and people haven’t been shy about doing so! You can currently arm your Warlord with two Belicosa Volcano Cannon and a pair of Laser Blasters, and hearing a rumour that more weapon options weren’t too far off, I tracked down a new set of carapace-mounted weapons in the Forge World Studio. As the carapace-mounted weapons don't need to be glued into place they can be swapped with the Laser Blasters in seconds!

Carapace-mounted missile launchers will soon be raining down death upon your foes!

The Warlord is so huge that it can be hard to grasp the sheer scale of it. In the Warhammer World Exhibition Centre they have not one but two fully painted Warlord Titans on display, plus there’s another unpainted one in the Forge World Store. They really have to be seen in the flesh to get the full impact, but here’s a look at the display of Imperial Titans so you can get an idea.

To get another great look at the Mars pattern Warlord Titan, check out the latest video from the Forge World Visual Feed.

That’s all from me for now. Make sure you check back soon for more from the Forge World Studio.

Chris.

**Enigwolf**

Ooooh... ahhhh.

**angelofvengeance**

Err that's A LOT of missiles lol.

**Enigwolf**

Beats the lazy method of sticking two giant rockets in each mount, to be honest.

**BrookM**

I'm sure the vortex missile array will pop up sooner or later as well.

Thought that was already on the model??

**BrookM**

Nope, just all the laser blaser blaster thingies.

**angelofvengeance**

What are these supposed to be then??

**Vintersorg**

Void shields

**BrookM**

Void shield generators and the exhausts for the reactor.

**Sinful Hero**

The giant missile launcher is certainly cool.
