That is quite likely indeed

But as TwilightSparkles said that would add an interesting aspect to the game, obviously as part of advanced rules, and it should beyond being restricted to a single legion

Who wouldn't love to see the face of his/her opponent if when deploying a Reaver titan by drop pod it lands on top of a banner of knights or a smaller titan and flattens them out in the process?

No, that's the back exhausts of the apoc missile launcher.

The reaver sprue is already out there. 2 guns, Gatling Blaster and Laser Blaster. 1 Power Fist with option for close and open palm.

I am afraid that part is only the back of the missile pod.

Well there arm weapons don't have magnet holes. So what other choice do I have? Although IIRC there is no minimum or maximum size for what counts as a Legio. So even one god engine is enough if your going for homebrew.

well the fluff talks about 200+ sized legions given what they've mentioned about "titan fall" my gut feeling is legions by 40k are proably only liker 20 god machines or so.

I actually did, it is a couple of pages ago (page 96), also the Stratagems and Objectives a little bit later. The additional card pack is Warlord only.

Spoiler:
Based on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yRMR_TPx0M and https://imgur.com/a/bRn55Re I compiled a list of the weapons cards in the Rules Set box (and GME as well)

Warlord

Warlord Arm - Arioch Titan Power Claw
Warlord Arm - Belicosa Volcano Cannon
Warlord Arm - Belicosa Volcano Cannon
Warlord Arm - Belicosa Volcano Cannon
Warlord Arm - Belicosa Volcano Cannon
Warlord Arm - Macro-Gatling Blaster
Warlord Arm - Mori Quake Cannon
Warlord Arm - Sunfury Plasma Annihilator

Warlord Carapace - Apocalypse Missile Launcher
Warlord Carapace - Apocalypse Missile Launchers
Warlord Carapace - Paired Gatling Blasters
Warlord Carapace - Paired Laser Blasters
Warlord Carapace - Paired Turbo Laser Destructors
Warlord Carapace - Vulcan Mega-Bolter Array

Reaver

Reaver Arm - Laser Blaster
Reaver Arm - Gatling Blaster
Reaver Arm - Melta Cannon
Reaver Arm - Reaver Titan Chainfist
Reaver Arm - Reaver Titan Power Fist
Reaver Arm - Volcano Cannon

Reaver Carapace - Apocalypse Missile Launcher
Reaver Carapace - Turbo Laser Destructor
Reaver Carapace - Vulcan Mega-Bolter
Reaver Carapace - Warp Missile Support Rack

Warhound

Warhound Arm - Inferno Gun
Warhound Arm - Plasma Blastgun
Warhound Arm - Turbo Laser Destructor
Warhound Arm - Vulcan Mega-Bolter


Similar exercise for the Stratagems & Objectives Cards, there are 24 of them. Due to light reflection on the cards, I am less confident I got all right, one is quite unreadable. This said, this would compile as follows:


24 Stratagems & Objectives Cards

Mission Objectives

Vital Cargo
Hold The Line
Engage & Destroy
Glory & Honour
Retrieval

Stratagems (aka Tricks & Tactics)

Thermal Mines
Sabotage
Outflank
Voidbreaker Field
Outflank
Noble Sacrifice
Thermal Mines (??? barely readable due to light reflection, not sure at all it is another Thermal Mines)

Ranged Support

Artillery Bombardment
Blind Barrage
Orbital Lance Strike

Battlefield Assets (for which there are models as well in both the GME and Rules Set)

Command Bastion
Communications Relay
Void Shield Relay
Plasma generator
Apocalypse Missile Strongpoint
Macro Cannon Battery

Tertiary Objectives

Cripple The Foe
A Score To Settle
Decapitating Strike


Sounds good fun and lots of possibilities



The description for the Warlord weapons card pack lists 26 cards:

- 2 carapace mounted bolter array cards;
- 2 carapace mounted paired turbo laser destructor cards;
- 2 carapace mounted paired laser blaster cards;
- 2 carapace mounted paired gatling blaster cards;
- 2 carapace mounted apocalypse missile launcher cards;
- 4 arm mounted Belicosa volcano cannon cards;
- 4 arm mounted Sunfury plasma annihilator cards;
- 2 arm mounted Mori quake cannon cards;
- 3 arm mounted Arioch Titan power claw cards;
- 3 arm mounted macro-gatling blaster cards.


Mendi, thanks for this - I can only hope that they might expand the 28mm options for the Warlord Titan eventually- would love a pair of carapace mounted Gatling Blasters (just for the coolness factor! )

One of the largest Legios during the Heresy was around 176 engines... so 200+ seems a bit much considering the breakup of much of the Imperium's armed forces into smaller units after the Heresy. Not to mention the difficulty in building new Titans. Of course, this doesn't take into account MarySue Cawl who can probably build thousands of Titans in a few days.

Pure speculation: a FW titan drop pod model? One for warhounds, one for reavers? Stretching it, one for knights?

While I haven't seen the rules yet, given what I've read in the BL books, I'd say this is unlikely.

Titans don't just hop out of drop pods, ala Space Marines.


he likely used drop pods to simplify, remember the post we're getting the term drop pods from Also refered to someone getting "clan ER Large lasers" obviously he didn't mean literally

While the rule does mention a notional dropship, it doesn’t actually require such a model to exist; you just place the Titan and scatter it.

Proper lore doesn't offend me, but it sounds like any new lore offends you. take the ranting about Cawl (show us on the doll where he touched you) to an approperate thread. I'm getting tired of hearing of people ranting about it. Mostly people whom haven't read the limited and still developing lore that is out there. Frankly if you're expecting good writing go do yourself a favor and stop playing Warhammer, it's pulp.

I tend to agree that a good percentage of 40K fluff these days is trash. I still remember reading on a forum somewhere about Necrons teaming up with my beloved Blood Angels (I wasn't even into the hobby at that time but still found it offensive). I won't bore you with my negative opinion on BL, except to say that many of their "Top talent" seem to write about 5 books a year, and it really shows (that it's terrible, and that people will still buy it). To be fair I'm really not in the age demographic for BL "Novels" now, but having said that, a lot of the old (GW) stuff still holds up, and a lot of the new and newish stuff is also fantastic (my favourites being the =][= 54mm rulebook, such a great book overall for fluff and writing, and Liber Chaotica, among others). I hope they put some decent people on AT. I really enjoyed Abnett's take on it (BL book called "Titanicus").

Don't mind BD, most folk are capable of grasping that these sorts of remarks are the lore-nerd equivalent of gallows humour and that just because we find a lot of the modern material questionable doesn't mean we literally sit around all day waving our fists at the heavens and cursing the studio writers, and that our dislike of something isn't a personal assault against anyone who does like it or doesn't care.

Of course, I disagree on the above remarks - Cawly Sue wouldn't just bumpull eleventy-bajillion Titans out of his shed, they'd be Primarititans, better than your blase normie Titans in every way and also cooler and betterer and they'd beat up your dad as well

Hoping someone with the rules can answer a couple of questions to get us back on topic:

How many other weapon cards are doubled or quadrupled up like the Warlord's default weapons? I'm particularly looking at the Warhound here, as that cards supplied could indicate how many of each weapon come in the kit.

How does building Knight units work? Their command terminal says 120pts + weapons, but it's not clear if that's per Knight or for the starting number of 3. Also there aren't any points listed for the weapons shown.
Can Knights mix and match options (such as all three with battlecannons & chainsword, or even double battlecannons), or are they fixed to what's in the kit?

Yes, only one card of each type for the warhounds

For warhounds, the old version of AT also allowed multiple rocket launchers

There are 4 of the Warlord Arm - Belicosa Volcano Cannon cards and 2 of the Warlord Carapace - Apocalypse Missile Launcher cards, which corresponds to the weapons included in the GME box, all the other weapon options are a single card each

No mention in the warlord weapon cards of a chainfist (there was one in the old version of Adeptus Titanicus), nor of an inferno gun for the reaver (again, that was an option in the old version)

I think we can expect an additional deck of weapon cards for the Reaver and Warhounds, I would imagine a combined deck @ £7.5 like the one for the Warlord

Alternatively the upgrade sprues will be mixed media, and contain the relevant cards for the included weapons.

Wouldn't normally expect it, but looking at the way it's been presented, where the rules aren't just a book but contain the game aids etc, vs the usual way you buy GW games (either it's all in the starter or you buy the rules and any accessories you want all separately) it might just be possible.

The correct statement of individual rights is that everyone has the right to an opinion, but crucially, that opinion can be roundly ignored and even made fun of, particularly if it is demonstrably nonsense!” Professor Brian Cox

Alternatively the upgrade sprues will be mixed media, and contain the relevant cards for the included weapons.

Wouldn't normally expect it, but looking at the way it's been presented, where the rules aren't just a book but contain the game aids etc, vs the usual way you buy GW games (either it's all in the starter or you buy the rules and any accessories you want all separately) it might just be possible.


I am thinking this would be the case for the more esoteric weapons produced in resin.

Considering how they've done the rules they might even do a legion upgrade kit - one box with weapon sprue and weapon for reavers, warhounds and warlords all in one. It would be one way to get it sold mainstream and lower the games shelving footprint - even if it might be less than ideal in terms of getting what you want.

Yes but as the song goes "I want it all"

One thing I definitely see coming is a revisited Banelord Khorne titan, it is too iconic to leave out
