Ooops I didn't even notice - which I think goes a long way to show how great GW have been with the detailing on their AT titans! Still I look forward to seeing that monster in AT!

Also I wonder if a side view of it might improve it, its got that hunched look so if its back and shoulders are longer back then it might even it out proportion wise.

It just seems a bit top-heavy, and the Reaver arms don't help with that. I'd have liked to see it with larger feet and bulked out lower leg pistons/armour, to make it seem a smidge more stable.

Hmm, I don't know how I feel about the Warbringer. Something about the size of the dorsal cannon versus the short arms made me think at first glance that it was a fan-made photoshop.

I don’t like it either but I had figured we’d see an artillery class titan at some point but didn’t think they’d make it look that kitbashed. It looks like a conversion.

There are more pics on Battle Bunnies, it looks better from other angles than the one WHC used.

I do like the fact that a primarily support Titan has anti-air defences.

Oh yes its back section is suitable enlarged and elongated! I do agree they missed a trick with having an extra large rear leg segment to help stabilize it when it fires; but otherwise fantastic!

Now to wait the year or so before its in AT (at least as its a recent design we can assume they've already got all the data to convert and scale it down!)

The new Titan looks like a robot Tyrion Lannister carrying his enormous robot cock around on his back

Couldn't think of a metaphor that worked then?

Can't help but feel that this new Warbringer is a hell of a revision of something ancient. Except the head

I must have missed the episode where Tyrion had an enormous robot cock.


I really like the look of that new titan, looks like walking artillery and really reminds me of the old artwork, cant wait to see it in AT. Not really arsed about the Cerastus knights, they look terrible in my opinion, only come with two weapons anyway and il need to buy terminals so I think il just wait until I see the Porphyrion released, otherwise il go without extra knights.

Think you might be on to something there.

The Garro 360 view of it helps give a better idea of the titan

Im wondering on its rules, wonder if it will get a bigger template (hope not my friend has manage to scatter 3 different volcano canon shots that scattered ontop of my knights insta killing them in last 2 games, I dont want him having more chances of that happening)

I could see it being a bigger template but maybe strength 8-10 with ordanance, those sorts of artillery pieces are either bunker busters or to kill infantry not so much anti titan id imagine. I kinda think it maybe future proofing for when either light tanks could be a thing (same as the flamethrowers and sub strength 4 guns. This could also go for the AA guns, which could be in future we get some aircraft, old titanicus had spotter planes as a shoulder module, its aa guns could be listed in similar ways the defensor guns are on warlord

looking at the guns and warlord stats there is space for nearly everything to be 1 higher than a reaver putting this square in the middle. That goes for guns aswell, warlord ones are normaly +2 strength over reavers
so ws5+ bs 3+ soeed 3/5 turns 1/2 4 servitors
starting at 12 head, 11 body, 13 legs for armour 5 voids
command 4+

guns (all 10+ to damage)
melta-strength 11-12
volcano canon-strength 11 blast 3"
gatling- 6 strength 6

I could see this titan as becoming more of a "anti small titans/knights" in future if big gun is around strength 8-10 with one of the old apoc templates, with maybe terrain destroying bonus. Rather than it being anti titan like the warlords and reavers.

More views do make it look better. Still think the upper arms should be a tad longer, but it much improves the impression given by the first photo.

The new Volcano cannon does add a bit of length to the arm but hopefully there will be another option for the stupid carapace six shooter, stop putting flamer nozzles on cannons.

It's an update of the old epic version of the quake cannon. It's growing on me. Going to have to start saving. Not going to pay in dollars, but a friend is going to the UK next year and is willing to pick me up stuff.

What flamer nozzle? Surely you mean the focusing and/or accelerator field generator array?

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?

Yep, I thought that, wouldn't be surprised if the "Nemesis" part refers to the main gun and in the future we'll see differently named versions with different guns, the gun is such an integral part of the body that it seems to warrant a major distinction as I would imagine any different variants would be an entirely new body not just a different gun to stick on top.

Edit - Just read that is was designed by Will Hayes (makes sense as I can see a lot of similar design elements to the Reaver and it looks more mechanically believable than the Warlord, which I think is where the Reaver beats the Warlord) but as far as I remember Will does not use CAD he's still an old school modeller (heard that a few years ago, so may have changed), so that may mean it takes longer to come to AT.

More mechanically believable that a Warlord? Err, it looks like it would topple over backwards if one of the spotters on the top deck sneezed too hard. It didn't just skip leg day, it stopped walking and bought itself a Rascal.

It's actually growing on me a bit, but even if I come to love it I'll still always be able to plainly see that it's at least as daft a design as the other Titans and arguably moreso.

Nemesis used to be a subtype of Warlord, but more recently has been referred to separately in the Warlord (and occasionally Emperor) strength range. Warbringer could be the subclass, like how the Warhound has the Wolf, Jackal, and Hyena, the Reaver has the Goth, Hun, and Vandal, and the Warlord has the Eclipse, Deathbringer, Night Gaunt, and previously Nemesis (before it was split out)

he descends from the sky on a flying scooter, with his allied Birdmen under the command of Brain Blessed. AA is a requirement.

Surely you mean Gotrek Gurnisson?

Guilliman's alive?!?

Price of warlord and reaver, get pair of warhounds for free.

Tempting. Very tempting. Was needing 2nd warlord for Mortis anyway and not like reavers and warhounds are ever bad thing either.

FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!! I JUST BOUGHT SOME WARHOUNDS!!!!
