Instructions for the Warlord titan. Having built the full sized variant, this pint sized kit looks very similar.

Fully posable legs as well.

Knights are mounted on 40mm bases. The Warlord is bigger than an Armiger, smaller than a knight.

Street date is August for Grand Master Edition, price in the month's White Dwarf.

Great news on price: it WILL be sold via independent stockists!

Reaver expansion for October release, Warhound for November. Monthly releases planned all the way through to January.

This is a much "crunchier" game than most from GW so expect a more involved amd detailed game.

**Chopstick**

So the Warlord have no weapon option? They never show any loadout other than the dual Volcano and Missile Launcher.

**H.B.M.C.**

The sprues are probably mirrored, so one leg/arm/missile launcher per sprue, with a third sprue for the body/hips.

**Chopstick**

They do have the carapace Laser Blaster and Plasma Annihilator cards for Warlord terminal.

**Yodhrin**

OK, if it's coming through indie retailers as well, and if my sense of how big a release 20K units is is as wrong as folk have suggested, we'll be back in business. 144 quid plus shipping is just low enough.

Hopefully the released planned through to January aren't just weapon upgrades or somesuch, would be good to see some additional Knight classes after they get us the "big three" Titans.

Have these AT terrain pics been posted? From Warhammer Fest this weekend, posted to a Dropzone Commander facebook group (which this will work great for!).

**Kid_Kyoto**

I love the train but wonder will the crew be short, hairy and (dare I say it?) Squat?

So the city is 2 of this set?

Spoiler:

Hopefully you can stack them into a skyscrapper.

By the photo on the back of the box, it actually looks like one, not two.

**ph34r**

That is some really nice terrain.

sssshhhhhhh, don't say it!

**Mysterio**

What?

No Warhounds?!?

**Azreal13**

No, sadly. Which means either they've been seconded to Euro Games Day to shore up the content for that, or we're still outside the 3 month preview window, meaning we likely won't see them on release until Halloween at least.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Was there any confirmation on the price?

I’m aware of the earlier rumoured price, but wondering if we know for sure now.

**Mysterio**

Unknown.

But at least that 'GW direct only' rumor was shot dead.

**Crimson**

Is there any news on whether the other Knight types will be available? (I personally would much rather have a Porphyrion than a Warhound.)

No confirmation, but the price will be in next months WD magazine.

Also no confirmation on Cawdor release date. They had gang war 4 on display but somehow didn't discuss it or tell us anything about what is in it. As I said on bac the most exciting thing revealed was the Cawdor dice, and a pic of their sprue. It was also nice to see more of the AT box contents and a glimpse at the rulebook, but really this open day was rather light on news and content that we hadn't already seen.

November, according to the quote at the top of the page. So we’ll see them next month probably, between battle shots from the book and probable preview teasers.

I've been hearing on Facebook that the sprues are designed rather intelligently so that all the connections will be hidden behind armour and it can be painted on sprue. I still wouldn't paint on sprue but I am curious how they're designed now as I'd love if they were deliberately designed so that you can build the metal skeleton, spray it silver, and then have all the armour panels separate, spray them another colour, and attach afterwards.

It would be easy to leave most of the armor panels off. Not so much on the knights, but on the reaver and warlord. Stuff like the reaver shoulder plates are their own separate piece. I'm personally gonna leave armor plates off and spray with leadbelcher. A lot of the techniques used for imperial knights on the warhammer tv channel would work well on these models. So leadbelcher, nuln oil wash, brass bits, agrax earthshade wash, drybrush silver and then start picking out the colored details.

They do stack , saw them demo that with a set yesterday at FW open day. Having seen the full retail box and the minutes , it'll be a £95 starter. It's no bigger box than Soul Wars.

£95 is a great price if true. Is it confirmed or just speculation?

**schoon**

I must say that AT continues to look better and better the more I see.

That train is pure gold - that will be so fun to paint!

I expect FW will release different loadouts in resin, so you might as well prepare to magnatise.

I also expect FW's range of Cerastus Knights to be released in resin. I wonder what the price of an AT Acastus will be?

Warlords and reavers are going to be common enough that i can see plastic upgrade sprues for more weapons. They just have to actually design the additional arm weapons for the warlord and carapace mounts for both, which hopefully means 28mm versions as well. They could probably fit a full set of additional reaver carapa e mounts and extra arms on a single clampack sprue, and maybe a double set for the warlord, like how marines have chapter upgrade clampacks.

Almost glad to hear that the reaver and warhounds will be in later months, easier on my budget. Can focus on 2 gm editions and another set or two of buildings to start.

Price and release date will be announced in August’s White Dwarf.

Is the train an actual terrain piece? I wasn’t sure if it was a scratchbuild or conversion.

**StraightSilver**

Slightly off topic but looking at the AT buildings - they appear to be pretty much scaled down versions of the new 40K scenery.... which means you could actually make 28mm versions of them, lol.

Rumours on another forum that the Grand Master edition will be limited to 20,000 copies worldwide initially which means it will sell out very fast - but will be available again around Christmas time.

If it was you, give it back:

As some of you may have been made aware, yesterday at the Forge World Horus Heresy and Specialist Games Open Day, one of the display Adeptus Titanicus Knights was "liberated".
Now, those of us in the community are pretty appalled by this. We have been very lucky to be shown these items up close and personal prior to release, and it shows a lot of disrespect to then think it's a good idea to just take one away for your own benefit.
So, we in the Heresy Community are appealing for this person to return the item. It may only be something small, but the act means a lot.
Was this you? Or perhaps you know the person that did this? Maybe it was accidental (yes, in those crowds something may have got knocked into a carrier bag without realising), maybe it was intentional, we don't know.
We are not asking for you to hand yourself in for questioning or Decimation, just simply asking that the Knight is returned to its owners. If you wish to do this anonymously, then thats fine.
Please share this message across the community. Let's show Forge World that we actually give a gak about how they interact with us as a community.
Thank you!

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Oh good grief,

and that why nobody gets nice things

**changemod**

They probably won’t consider it that big a deal that someone palmed an unpainted model worth what, £10-12 when you factor in it’s a third of a kit?

Theft = Bad, sure, but it’s not really damaging to the company.

**AegisGrimm**

Good god, what an A-hole. It's bad enough when people unapologetically shrug when they break demo models, but theft is just pure deush-baggery.

Lame.
