The resin Warlord weapons are very welcome, as is the new Civitas box - I wonder if that one is plastic?

The terrain is plastic, as seen from the pictures.

Well today should be interesting day to hear what "future of AT" seminar holds. Hopefully good news are out by the time I finish soon to begin epic level battle!

Yup. Hankering for that one in particular.

Mostly because we’re moving into uncharted waters. We know the classic stuff is coming, and we’re just missing some weapon systems. So the road ahead is unknown, which is rather exciting!

Grand Master Edition returning. From M R Parker at B&C

Adeptus Titanicus Grand Master re-release, but again for a limited time. Release schedule tbd

From Garro

Posted on AT FB group:

The last of the two realm of battle boards coming out (for now) gamma and delta. They’re deliberately designed to limit Titan movement in places to make the game as tactical as it should be.

Reaver upgrade sprue. Sold separately due to popular demand ?? *extensive feedback* ??

New buildings. 2 sets, designed to fit existing buildings. First set is just spires. Second set includes base set. Strong likelihood of more terrain.

Legio Fureans transfers. Fureans has Madaxia knights on theirs. On decal sheets - mortis and gryphons were the most popular legios at 28mm scale so went first. Got what they thought was a year of stock and we bought it out in a month. Good work all!

Next expansion! Doom of Moloch. Follows the events of Vengeful Spirit. Narrative scenarios and 4 more Legios. Rules for fielding a knight household - no Titans!

Legios in DoM - Crucius (Warmongers), Fortidus (Dauntless), Vulcanum (Dark Fire/Lords I’d Ruin), Interfector (Murder Lords)

Vulcanum are weird, two Legios on one FW. Weird things with their princeps.

Possibility, no promise, of a large A4 sheet of transfers to cover a number of the more minor Titan Legios. *speculation in Seminar, do not assume will be coming*

7 Knight houses covered including Devine. Will have special rules for each Household. Each Knight world (like Moloch) could have a number of households on it. Allows you to build the household along the lines of the predefined ones or you can pick a couple rules to define your Baron or high Seneshal.

Knight Strategems. And can be played against knights or titans. Plus Strategems!

Knight carapace weapons were meant to be on the plastic sprue but couldn’t fit! Will be coming soon.

Re-release of the Grand Master edition. Huge logistical operation to put together. Won’t be a permanent thing, if you want it get it while it’s there.

Resin weapons, being done by Blake. You get the whole arm so you can magnitise them. Individually available, not in sets as per the Contemptor etc. All weapon options will be available. Quake Cannon and Macro Blaster first up.

CARAPACE GATLING BLASTERS!!! REAVER VULCANS! WARP MISSILES! Missile is removable to track once it’s been fired. 2-3 months time. Designed 5-6 missiles, will likely get new rules for other missile types.

What’s next?

More campaign books. Pick something iconic and go with that as a jump off point. Calth would be a good one, Mars would be a likely choice too. Terra... obviously but will be a build up.

Legio/Household heraldry and special rules. Massive spreadsheet of STUFF!

Continued releases of plastic kits for knights, titans and terrain.

Entire spectrum of titans from Rapier upwards which might get covered. Light battle Titan between hound and reaver, maybe a heavy battle Titan.... Warbringer mentioned. Both plastic and resin potential due to expanded specialist games team.






Designs of knights and titans deliberately future proofed for different panelling; mechanicum, traitor, mutated... all that good stuff.

Themed dice - just beyond the 3 month window to be shown. Not Legio specific but loyalist/traitor

Other accessories. Terminals etc. The terminals out of stock is purely down to selling too well *shakes fist* but will be coming soon.

New weapons.... existing and brand new. Knight stuff too!

Resin weapons <£20 at a guess, not gospel. Not finalised yet.

App for terminals etc - one of Andy’s first thoughts for the game. Ultimately not enough resource on the App Team. Comes down to demand so get emails in to GW if you want it.

New:

Ordo Sinister likely in the book after Moloch. Will likely get expanded out to cover reaver and the like, not just the 25 Warlords they had in Prospero times.

Special Character titans (rather than just princeps and crews) and alternative princeps.

If they did an Imperator it would be about the size of the 40k scale Reaver.... don’t hold your breath.

Audax and Ursus Claws are basically a shoe in. Just need to get final sign off past Tony...

On the Epic discussion. The Titanicus rules as they stand is designed for titans only but doesn’t mean the game can’t evolve in the future to include a broader scope. The intent of the game at the moment is very much to give players the sense of piloting a Titan. There *may* be expansions later on to deal with this.

Definitely some more modular bunkers similar to the Strategems currently available.

Organic terrain - mountains etc and well... ultimately comes down to cost. A mountain is a large chunk of resin you can make out of foam or rocks in the garden. If they do anything it would be themed terrain that you could then integrate into natural structures etc. Demo pods and seminars or a masterclass book to cover these things is a possibility.

More Realm of Battle boards are a possibility. Just need a Phil 2.0 to design them!

Titan Legio specific equipment conversion packs - gryphons motor reactive etc. Likely to come after the generic weapon upgrades. Along side unique panelling and heads etc. Likely going to come alongside the thematic books with the Legios.

Design your own Legio ruleset - definitely a possibility... something like the old Heresy rules for time before your Legion had rules. A Titan Crusade option. Possibly a WD article.

40k scale knights and new stuff being carried across is a very real possibility. Just down to resource, time and priority. Armigers etc.

Cerastus pattern knights - plans to do the other patterns in the future. Not in the next few months but not too far. Possibly plastics.

Lovely stuff

Here’s hoping the carapace Weapons are out before long!

All that I could hope to hear and then some! Awesome.

The warp missile rack looks bad-ass.

Would like to have seen concepts of new Titans to be fair. But to see stuff being filled in in the range is pretty much just as good.

Ahhh! According to Warhammer Community, all the weapon sprues will be available separately.

Which is nice.

A 40k reaver sized model would be far too large for an imperator. Even the same amount of material as a warhound would be too much, scaled to existing artwork it would be the size of a 40k knight plus a bit more height from the spires.

Well if Necromunda can get plastic Ambots…..

Still, no sneek peak of any new engines is a shame. But if GW's three month window for previews is still in effect, then everything that was shown should be out fairly soon.

That’s a good point.

Time to prime the cash Cannon I think

The new terrain did seem to be ready to go at a moment's notice (boxes printed and everything!).

Ok, I want all of those weapons for AT, and bring on the reaver carapace mounts for 28mm!

Uuuh no. Imperator is nearly twice the size of warlord. Warlord is already near the 40k knight size. 40k reaver might be too big but it should tower over 40k knight.

55.5 metres for imperator, 32 for warlord. So measuring up warlord standing on my table it would be around 23-24cm long vs 16cm or so that the 40k knight on my table is.

Like I said, plus a bit for the spires.

I’d also use the current artwork for scale over the inconsistent numerical figures, but either way the shoulders of an imperator would be roughly dominus height, barely above a questoris knight.

The 40k Acastus is probably the right size for an AT Imperator.

Edit: I wonder if we'll see this next book by the end of April, saying as they usually stick pretty closely to a 3 month preview window. In fact the specifically mentioned not showing themed dice because they're just outside that window.

Art is far less reliable than good old statistical numbers. According to art warlords are size of mountains...

And size of imperator vs warlord is bit more than just spires and warlord is already around size of knight so it's bit more than "bit more". Put in reaver top of warlord and you have about size of imperator.

The current art, as I said. You know, the stuff that represents the current artistic direction GW are taking with titans, as opposed to the old, often conflicting information?

And no, Warlords are smaller than knights. Roughly a mid point between an Armiger and a full height.

Further, your analogy there lines up with what I’ve been saying almost perfectly. A reaver standing on a warlord’s shoulders would be perfectly consistent in size with a dominus-sized model with spires extending from it’s shoulders. Heck, that might even be a little too short.

You are aware that the spires wouldn’t take up very much plastic or resin compared to a full body being extended up to the same height, right?

Do we really need a pissing contest over the scale of fictional robots that aren't even being made yet?

Can we not just be happy about the cool new things we are getting?

This...is....internet!

Also, pretty cool seeing lots of support for AT. Just a bummer it's priced too high for me to get into alongside the other games I currently support.

Agreed. Especially this weekend when people are paying extra attention to the thread for news from the weekender.

40k knight on my table is 16cm. Warlord that's kneeling down 14cm. So warlord plus reaver is 8cm taller than 40k knight. Lot more than 40k knight. 50% taller infact. You are underestimating imperator or your "bit more" is odd. 50% taller is bit more? Lol

I have no idea what you mean by “kneeling down”, a Titanicus warlord is absolutely shorter than a 40k knight when both stand straight, and considerably less bulky.

You appear to be confusing height for size, which is in three dimensions. A 40k warhound is substantially larger than a 40k knight, not merely taller. A body the size of a Dominus knight would not be anywhere close to the bulk of a warhound, even with it’s shoulder guns being housed in a set of decorative spires that account for over a third of it’s total height.

Yes, an imperator’s total size would exceed a Knight and likely require an entire extra sprue, but to compare it to a Reaver is absolutely ludicrous.

Can you take that discussion to another thread?

Why? It’s a directly on-topic response to a comment made during the open day. If one of the team working on Titanicus has a weirdly out of scale idea of how big an imperator is, that’s pretty pertinent to point out.

For reference:


I don't think it would be Reaver sized, but roughly Acastus knight with that top tower sticking up further, and arm weapons about the size of the ones on full sized knights.

If they do get round to doing an Imperator Titan, I hope it looks nothing like that old design. I always thought it looked ridiculous.

Not really. You're arguing scales on a Titan that probably hasn't been fully thought about yet. Neither news nor a rumour
