The sword design is less of an issue compared to them holding them backwards.

I was quite sure that the outward curved part of the Kopesh would be to strike the opponent with..
EDIT: You know, like a saber is used.

No. The hook of the khopesh is designed to trap an enemy weapon, and fling it out of their hands. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah, but it's the one from the Contemptor. Maybe tactical Dreadnought is a mistake and it should be Dreadnought, who knows.

ahhh sorry i didn't see it that well!
but still the other picture of that one guy in the honor guard uses some other kind of termi armour so my request still stands anyway hahahaha.^^

The hook can be used like that, but the outside curved edge is the sharp edge used for cutting.

I have never used a kopesh in any way so I can't, but since the curved part is sharp, I imagine it would work nice for cutting.
Unless you try cutting heavy armor which is a bit dumb.. thats why I joked about it.

Not owning such a device, I'll take your word. I just thought magnetized with movable counters looked cool.

This, unlike Blood Bowl, is looking like it's going to be significantly different to it's ancestors. I'm very interested to see it develop.

Given the models are likely to be in the expensive side, I really hope it's a game that takes a while to play. Low model count Games (for me, just an opinion!) work best when they're cheap and quick affairs (X-Wing), or much pricier and in-depth. If I'm paying say £300, I don't want games that last maybe half an hour,

Hopefully the Moritats will be released soon. Are they sold together or individually? Very lovely stuff all around.

I'm kinda surprised at the lack of space wolves stuff to be released. But everything is looking awesome

Plastic kits were confirmed, I'm hoping for a basic of each of the main 3, rather than just warlords, with FW resin upgrades for psy-titans etc and full resin for rarer titan types.

Separately. They're the same model just with different weapons so you'll get 1 with the weapons options.

Loving the look of this stuff, that acquisitor in particular is pretty special !

So am I reading that Titanguard entry correctly in that you can use regular plastic Skitarii Vanguard for them? It says you can exchange all the weapons for radium carbines or arcrifles. That is the normal loadout for the Vanguard right?

Just want to know if I can finally use my Skitarii with my Mechanicum forces.

The curved part is a cutting edge, also chopping like an axe. The hooked part was designed so the sword could go between shields in a shield wall and the hook would grab the shield as the sword was pulled back. That would create an opening in the shield wall for the second rank of soldiers to attack into the defenders shell. In single combat it can be used to try and disarm the shield from the opponent in a similar manner.

It's basically the custodes version of the Leviathan dread.

The Emperor having stats will be a bit of a letdown I'm sure tho, considering he's the most powerful being in the entire known galaxy. It's like fighting against a chaos god and he can force an entire legion to bow down to him or kill hundreds with a swing of his sword. Nothing short of a god infused Horus sho uld be able to touch him, so stats in a game based on D6s will be woefully inadequate.

And yet... He has 10,000 super-being of capability somewhere between am Astartes and a Primarch guarding his life, and playing the blood games to keep thier anti-assassination skillls sharp.

The Emperor is the greatest living psyker in out galaxy, sure- a being of immense power, intelligence and will. But he's not invincible, akd hes not omnipotent. (sadly )

While he isn't powerful if you read the short story "The wolf of ash and fire" it is pre Heresy battle with Horus and the Big E fighting back to back. Only a few pages long, but was a nice tale.

There is some signs pointing at that he held back intentionally to offer Horus more glory, and/or a bonding moment with him. As we have noted, the Emperor's power is absolutely nuts, and he can extinguish an opponent's mind with little trouble.

The Emperor having rules isn't as crazy as some might think. The 30K Primarch rules are largely toned down appropriations of the fluff that are still done justice by virtue of them nonetheless being a clear cut above any other characters. The Emperor would simply be another cut above the Primarchs. He'll be a Lord of War and thanks to the 30K Lord of War restrictions he will be prohibited in all but the largest games - unless I missed something with the Custodes rules, I can't see there being a Rite of War that allows him to be taken as a HQ either.

Like the Primarchs, Big E would be toned down to fit into the game but only be available in larger battles where there will actually be counters to him. Mixing the best attributes of Horus' and Magnus' rules with some extras would probably give you a rough idea of how he will perform in the game.

That does sound more reasonable than yanking the enemy weapon from their hands. I doubt though that it has the same impact as an axe would, the point of balance should be more closer to the handle on the kopesh.
Also I start to worry that this is awfully off topoc .

The Coronus isnt an assault transport. :(

Plastic kits confirmed? Really? Last time I heard they were gonna make everything in resin, And perhaps the terrain in plastic.

Woah woah woah, hold up there chief. When were plastic kits for AT confirmed? Last I'd read they were doing a starter box of plastic terrain but all the actual Titan models were going to be resin.

I don't know for sure, but that might have been mentioned at the Weekender?

Last we heard about plastic anything was before Titanicus was delayed by 7 or so months, so with that extra time they might have decided to do plastic titans too.

From Battlebunnies in January:

'- Adeptus Titanicus is delayed (it was originally planned to be released around february). Not being rushed out. Might be out before the end of the year.

- There will be complete plastic buildings (which you can destroy yourself, by cutting etc).
- Thanks to Blood Bowl, and the delay there is a possibility of plastic Titans which go on sale at the same time as the black book / resin ones.'

It was mooted at the new years open day (when the delay was announced) and apparently confirmed yesterday.

There's an Adeptus Titanicus seminar first this morning, I guess we'll know more then.

Atia pointed out back in January (and that may be outdated after today's seminar) that plastic models could start with the smaller titans and knights, then other models later. That's why the comment mentions the first AT black book (campaign and new rules). FW have already finished warlord, reaver and warhounds in resin, so instead of working on these again they would start with plastic versions of other units and thereby expand the initial range.
