Told store to put 2 boxes for me. Terminals they told they can't get though :/

4 seems good amount to banner so first casualty doesn't reduce save for when i don't get hit by volcano

Oh right, need to get terminals too. :(

I'm gonna get a couple boxes of Lancers and just get them painted for now, then get the terminals later alongside the weapon upgrade sprues as they'll likely be direct-only too.

My store quoted me at £16 on pre order so should be about £20 normally

Hurrah!

My warhounds will take a while to assemble( casting some pieces in order to make one or two more ) so the Lancers will fill the painting gap quite nicely.

Cheers for that.

Ok, so pre-orders are up on the NZ site.

The terminal pack comes with 2 Questoris Terminals and 3 Cerastus ones. Same price as the other terminal packs.

Transfer sheets are up for Legio Mortis and Gryphonicus. The latter was a bit of a surprise for me. Haven't seen any teasers for them. Price seems fair though.

The Cerastus will be on pre-order tomorrow and I can't wait!

I'm hoping they will be £20, but if as much as £25 I might push the boat out...

Anyone else getting them?

£10 per model? Why would this be ok, when the other Knights are £5 each? Let alone £12.50 per.

Edit / the £15 Knight stes are from discounter sites. Still, 2 Kinights for the price of 3, doesn't seem like a deal I'd be thrilled with.

To be fair, these are a third taller each, and come on 50mm bases instead of 40mm.

It’s not really a good deal or anything but the kits are fairly comparable in terms of plastic.

The longer knees need more plastic so there’s a higher production cost.

Just for the record I was suggesting GW prices. I get my stuff through Wayland Games with a 20% discount, so I guess these chaps will be £15.90.

Having received a pack of warhounds this week, the Knights do indeed have far less bang-for-buck, when you weigh up £20 for one sprue against £40 for three sprues( The Reaver even more so ). That said, the Warhounds do cost a lot more in time and effort to assemble and paint. I quoted £25( before discount, of course ) as an absolute maximum I would be willing to spend to save time.

Its worth mentioning at this point that I budget this hobby at about £30-£40 a month. I got paid today and for now, I'm only interested in some magnets for my warhounds and these Lancer chaps, which will only be slightly over £20 with discount included. Although I'm not quite getting as much bang-for-buck here, I go into next month with more money in the kitty than I usually have left...

The gryphonicus transfer sheet is very nice

No mate I understand, as a hobbysit and not a gamer, I look at a kit in therm sof plastic volume / aesthetic value. These lancers seem to be "Character" priced money. Problem is, they're not much bigger / better looking than standard Knights. So personally I'm not satisfied that they're 3 for 2. I own several 40K knights, and also some FW Cerastus. The Cerastus are more expensive, but you can kind of see where the money has gone, they're huge, and I'm satisfied with the aesthetic value and complexity of these kits. Still, I don't really see the value of the little verisons. Sure they're a bit taller, and maybe they're a bit better in-game, but at £20 for two (RRP), they're not loooking like a good value prospect from a hobbyist standpoint in comparison to standard Knight patterns (which TBH aren't the greatest in terms of plastic volume anyway. I like the price of a BB team / necro gang far more than I like the price of an AT Knight detachment).

I have to agree that GW could have pushed the boat out further perhaps by providing a second, smaller sprue with alternative weapons and accessories. The Questoris Knights, for example, could also have had power fists and missile launchers( that sit on top the carapace ).

When you look at the Warhound and Reaver sprues, in comparison, they have too many left over components to the point where you could make additional units with a bit of casting and sculpting. But with the Knights there are no options at all.

I'm not looking to argue the right or wrong of it, but it seems clear that they intended to do weapons and accessories add-ons for both the Titans and the Knights.

I'm just sad that it means I have to wait longer to model Titans with the load outs that I want >:-P

I'm waiting on the Knights bits. I picked up 8 boxes of Knights for dirt cheap from some local stores today during the sales and they are off sitting on the side till added bits means I can make steps toward Epic Knight Household army

AUD$50 for the box.

That's $25 for a tiny little lancer.

LOL!

Looking at the sprue I think it might be possible to kitbash Questoris and Cerastus bit.

It's price of molds. Same sized sprue with 2 knights. To have 3 knights would need another sprue which would double box price.


Plastic itseif is essentially free. In plastic models it's the mold that costs

BRAND NEW TITAN MODEL!



It's a walking artillery cannon! The Warbringer
https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/VigilusWeekender-Nov24-Warbringer12jvfsdh.jpg

Whilst its lower arms look a little small its a fantastic looking walking artillery platform. Interesting to note its got anti-air guns

...for Warhammer 40,000, not Adeptus Titanicus.

Indeed, but how long before we see it appear for AT?
My feeling is the proportions are a bit off, the arms' weapons are too small, but I like the head.

"A little small"...

It's likely just the angle of the picture, but it looks laughably stubby as it stands. The siege cannon thingy on its shoulders is cool and all, but my Emperor those arms need help. Luckily that is easily fixed if they end up making an AT release for it at some point.

Yup, £20, marked down at £15.90 with Wayland.

Definitely not paying the Questoris box price for only two of those hideous looking new Knights. GW can take a hike on that one.

Now I'm not into AT for the Knights anyway so it's ok. Bring on the new Reaver

Yeah, it’s a Reaver with a Quake Cannon on the Carapace mount, more or less. Same six void shields so it’ll be interesting to see what the trade-off is. Probably as slow as a Warlord... be interesting to see if it counts as a Reaver or Warlord for the purposes of Maniple composition.

Or part of own maniple

doing the rounds :

Pretty ugly Titan: The lines on a few of the components are more rounded than their surroundings to the point of looking more cartoonish than the other details on the same model. Kind of an aesthetic clash going on there. On the plus side, it’s not -inherently- ugly, the inevitable 6mm version could theoretically integrate it’s lines better.

Anyhow, got my four knight Lancers and their accessories lined up.

I caved and bought four Cerastus knights for £32. It's steep compared to the cheaper-than-expected Questoris set, but pretty comparable to lots of other GW kits I've bought before, like Zoanthropes or Kataphrons.

However I just went and made a cart on the main GW site of all the direct-only stuff I 'need' to use the AT models I own (weapon cards, command terminals, plus Gryphonicus transfers). Comes to almost £65 in total for essentially a small pile of card and paper. THAT'S what GW can take a hike on.

I'm not a fan of the head, but I do recognise it as a callback to some of the early titan designs. If I ever get one of these for AT it'll definitely get one of my spare Warlord heads instead.

Reaver guns are too small for the big body, it look like a t-rex of the titan.

On the other note, thanks the emperor the admech finally keep up on modern tech and gave it some more guns.

Really like that new Titan, its got a stubby brutality to it. Reminds me of some of the black and white artwork in the original Titanicus game. Looking forward to getting an nu AT scaled version.

It looks like the left arm is the Reaver laser blaster, while the right is something new. With the arms looking a bit undersized I'm guessing its somewhere between the Reaver and Warlord in size?

The double barrelled name is interesting. Could it be that either "Warbringer" or "Nemesis" is the name of the body type while the other refers to this specific configuration?
