Goddamnit. So we are gonna get super expensive basic titans in resin (and with all the casting flaws that come with that) that everyone wants to play and cheaper less popular new units? Kinda disappointing.

Probably best to wait for actual information before getting too disappointed.

A plastic Warlord is the most obvious thing they could do to give AT the best possible chance to succeed

From M_R_Parker of b&c:


Titanicus mainly finished but it does not yet have a release slot. There's lots coming out from GW in the next 2 years and Titanicus is jostling for position amongst them.

Legio specific rules for Gryphonicus and Mortis at the moment, other Legios to follow

Titanicus models will have points for magnets, to swap out weapons, etc. They can't sell magnets however.

Phases follow previous [Epic] versions rather than 40k "I go, you go" - so a movement phase on a "I move one, you move one, I move another one, ..." etc, same for repair, shooting, combat, etc

Triple that, at a minimum if they're going with resin

Knights aren't very durable against Knights, but really can't be ignored.

They have done Legio specific traits for Mortis and Tempestus.

Scenarios include the House Devine vs Titans in the end of Vengeful Spirit and they are planning Titan Death on Beta Garmon

Planning for game to be on 4x4 giving the collectors place for the datasheets.

App support might happen if demand is high #giveuscommandterminals

No plans for Imperator yet.

If they go resin, in 8mm, I'd estimate: Castellax robot ~ Warhound, Contemptor ~ Reaver, Warlord ~ somewhere between Leviathan and one of the hyrbid Knight kits. So, prohibitively expensive even for a FW game.

Assuming they have decided to go plastic thanks to Blood Bowl's success? Who knows. In a starter box, probably way, way cheaper, but individually they'll still give them a "premium" pricetag, so about 2/3 the resin cost(or else they'd never sell the resin ones).

Hahahahah, no. Maybe for Knights, but the Titans will be extortionate in resin.

I doubt they will be that cheap, a warhound is going to be contemptor size and I guess price. I heard the warlord in this scale will be Knight sized and as such Knight price.

I figure this is going to be one of the most expensive games ever made on a per model basis.

Your last point is especially laughable and comical, because not only the 7th ed Valkyrie shown dumber things (like being able to throw the troopers without parachutes out of its hatches, no harm done) - Irbis

Is the seminar happening right now? Can someone ask about what's going to be plastic, and timelines? If they're really putting in magnet holes that is so appreciated!

I think he's referring to the fact that FW are not permitted to sell magnets...? Must be a UK thing...

We'll find out soon enough eh.

Given how many places there are you can order magnets, it's probably more that they just don't want to stock them and deal with extra hassle than that "blah blah nanny state blahdy helf n' safety innit guv" Kippery.

I would not get upset about Adeptus Titanicus until we know more.

I think after the success of Blood Bowl, there may well be quite a few Adeptus Titanicus releases in plastic.

They have to justify the cost before they consider it and blood bowl turned out to be more than worth it for them, financially.

Obviously, the Sisters of Silence found an old copy of the Phantom Menace. How it survived that long, I have no idea.

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.

That is just lame. I don't understand why people want Emperor to be this utterly invincible superbeing. It is much cooler if he is actually vulnerable and is in real mortal peril when fighting Horus or that überork.
