I could see flyers making their way into AT. a cross between Wings of Glory / Xwing movement rules would be great for bombers and fighters weaving through the scenery. one false move and its crash into a building.
I'd also like to see marine legion aircraft like transport stormbirds attacking with meta boarding actions etc. where a stormbird has to stay stationary for a turn (land) within X inch of titan to instigate a boarding attack.
there's lots of great stuff that could be done without having to go to Xenos factions or moving outside of the HH era.

Up for pre-order next week: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/01/13/next-weeks-pre-orders-underworlds-titans-and-middle-earth/
Titandeath is the first-ever expansion for Adeptus Titanicus: The Horus Heresy, and delves into the largest engine war of the Heresy. It includes rules, traits and more for no fewer than eight different Titan Legions, as well as an in-depth campaign system, new maniples, six narrative missions and rules for fighting in hostile environments such as airless moons.
Joining Titandeath is a new variant of the Reaver Titan, boasting alternative weapons – a melta cannon, volcano cannon, chainfist and carapace-mounted turbo laser destructor, perfect for building a Reaver that’s a dedicated Titan hunter capable of taking down even a mighty Warlord. There are also new heads to add variety to your God-Machines.
And speaking of weapons, the Warlord Titan Plasma Annihilator Frame will allow you to customise your existing Warlords with plasma annihilators, laser blasters and the vicious Arioch Titan power claw. You asked to be able to buy this sprue separately – and now you can! All the weapons are designed to be magnetised, making it easy switch them out across your games.
Finally, three new transfer sheets add loads of new iconography for your Titans. Each sheet focuses on a different Titan Legion – Vulpa, Krytos & Solaria – plus their associated Knight House. These make adding detail to your Titans and Knights simple and give you all sorts of cool new imagery options for all your war engines.

I wonder how much for the warlord weapon sprue on it's own?
I need at least 2. Plus the book, plus a 3rd reaver.
We usually get confirmation for prices on tuesdays I think, expensive week but this game is totally worth it.

Somehow titandeath doesn’t sound very exciting to me. It mostly sounds like content that should have been in the core book in the first place.
I’ll get a copy, but I guess this is kinda symptomatic of a single-faction game.

Gw wouldn't release supplement people say game is dead. Gw puts out and people say it should have been in rulebook. Can't win.
Also multifaction would make it worse. Just look at 40k where you have to buy codex and 1+ supplement of which you can't use everything. Orks just got codex and now have to pay 40e for supplement that has only little ork specific stuff. Rest useless if you don't play other armies. And moie supplements coming later.
At least regardless of your faction you can use most of titandeath rules. Better than 40k

As they'll be direct only and have no discount, at that price I may as well pick up a full Warlord with that sprue for £49 and effectively pay £24 for an extra titan.
Hopefully it's a more reasonable ~£20

Thing is that way your titan won\t have all the weapons. Only 1 sprue of them. That's what keeps me from buying sunfury warlord and the new reaver. I want all weapons. Buying full kits means I have bunch of weaponless titans running around then.

I'll be getting other weapons later on when they release the resin ones. Failing that a wrecked titan body could make a couple of really good objective markers...

That will still leave you some very useful weapons off. In particular apoc missile launcher from both is very good weapon. As is laser blaster from standard reaver. Laser blaster for warlord is in particularly niche weapon so I would hate to have only that for carapace. It's shorter ranged, inferior vs apoc launchers even when you don't get -1 to hit AND push your reactor for shieldbane. And it has very narrow range band where you are most effective(more than 10", max 16". LEss than 10" and you can only shoot vs other warlords) and is more expensive. Pays quite a lot for better performance vs unshielded(and it's not like apoc is useless there either).
And if you think plastic sprue is too expensive how you expect resin be any cheaper?-)

Um hopefully you realize to change that they would need to release new bigger command terminals? Care to pay the 20e/5 for that? Actually as they would be bigger than current warlord terminals more than that likely.
And laser blasters would then have to use 2 reactor push to get both shield bane activated.

I was ready to say Nay, but...
When one looks at the core AT rule set( without having flicked through it ) not only is the book hardcover but also includes dice, templates, card decks and a rather generous plastic sprue full of goodies. £35 for all that compared to a single hardcover rule book for 40K or AOS...yes, one can cut GW slack for not having everything in the core AT rulebook...
As far as xenos in AT...I don't see that happening now, but I wouldn't be surprised if a second 8mm game will appear in the next few years. A tanks'n'aircraft game would be an ideal follow up to AT...

A 2nd 8mm game? What’s the first? It’s not AT. 8mm Space Marines was the reference for AT which puts normal humans at 6mm.

If you can get a Warlord for £49 I'd still go with that even if the weapon sprue is 'only' £20!
GW's wonky "exchange rate" makes Warlords more expensive than they really should be here in the USA...

Have I missed something? I'm pretty sure AT is classed as an 8mm scale game. Let me just check...
Okay, just a peep on Wayland and the AT range is listed as 8mm.
...one thing I do know for certain, though, is that AT is NOT 28mm!

Everyone ran with “8mm scale” because GW said a marine would be 8mm tall.

You have missed all the calculations that take the warlord titan and compare it to it's size in fluff which shows it's pretty much spot on 6mm.

Well, its hard to say, but here is my reasoning...
£65 / 3 sprues = £21.66
...but on its own you lose a little on packaging...so roughly £25. I don't have any plans to buy Warlords but I sure hope its a straight £20 for those who do, as that would be awesome. Only problem is, that sprue seems larger than a AT Knight sprue and those are £20. On top of that, GW would rather you purchase another Warlord instead...
Saying that, GW has surprised me in the past. When trying to guess the price of the Reaver, I had thought £40-£45, but it came in at £35. Then I guessed the Warhounds at £35( same amount of sprues as the Reaver ) but they were announced at £45( thankfully changed to £40 at the last moment! ).
Heh, I've got a Reaver coming in the post, and I'm hoping the weapon sprue( using the same formula! ) will be about...£15.

Do you think the sprues are a direct only item or will they actually reach store shelves? I'm guessing it's the former.
