Seeing all the very expressive tiny trolls (sorry, "Troggoths"), snotlings, snails, shroom squigs on the Gloomspite sprues, Nurglings, familiars and stuff nowadays and the comments about the sculptors loving to do those tiny models gives me hope for plastic Epic minis soon-ish.
I'd day grot sized at best.
The knights are only around marine height to begin with.
Like be either 25mm - 32mm bases at a push.

I dont see any Xenos getting added until the SOT series is over as they may well be pushing that hard, I also wonder what the chances are of the battlefleet reboot accompanying the SOT series as well with the solar war ?
Afterall the new version of the video game did include the phalanx this time around, maybe im just getting my hopes up .

No, though I think the better way to get into the game is to buy the rules box and battleforce. Gives you variety and enough titans to make an Axiom Maniple.

Its on its way, but I wonder if it will be in August to celebrate its first year. Could be sooner but who knows...
Considering most retailers offered little-or-no discount on the GME last August( it was £175 ), you could shop around and get a battlegroup for about £80 and the ruleset for £35. Unlike the GME you'll be able to try out all three titans and still have change left over for some Knights or even another Reaver or pair of Warhounds.
Having now played Titanicus for myself, GW definitely should release another set that swaps out the Warlords for Warhounds( and double their weapon cards ). They could make a further saving by swapping out the plastic buildings for cardboard terrain...and boom - more players willing to give the game a shot.

Whilst this is nice and all, we really need new Knight models. It is pretty weird that there are more different types of Knights available for 40K than AT.

Why is that weird? AT has been a game available for less than 10 months. 40K knights have been a thing since 6th edition, undergoing a major update last summer.
AT is also a risk game for them, they can't just shotgun the market with AT products at the current time without a large base of buyers. I'm wondering what the next release will end up being, but somehow, I'm not sure it will be knights.

Keep in mind they might not reveal those yet. Gw dripple feeds info. Why not sg as well? Leave something for big bang later
I'm wondering what they'll release. Knight upgrades are long overdue, but we may get something completely left field such as a Porphyrion sprue or a brand new Knight Chassis.

Knights are actually expensive for points. Cheap models, cheap price. For at on budget reaver and wargound are your frienes. Then warlord, knights worst

I would probably say Knights are quite expensive price-wise, especially when compared with a box of Warhounds. Two sprues( two boxes of knights ) against three, and the hounds have so much in variety of armour and weapons.
That said, the Knights do not require the additional cost of weapon cards...urgh. Went to order some WH cards from the local GW this morning but its closed on Mondays...

They’re also friendlier on the smaller pocket that belongs to peeps that struggle to save. £20 now is easier than saving it for a week or month to get a Titan.

Ah, yet you do get two Warhounds in a box, not just the one. With the knights you don't a full banner in a box, nor all its options. In the case of the Warhounds...I'd have to back them in this case. If lacking in titans then the hounds are worth saving up for and putting the knights on hold for a bit.
With that said, you speak wisely about how much one has to budget for wargaming, on a regular basis. On a monthly basis I can afford about £30 - £40 at a push. The Reaver is as far as I can go for this game( a single miniature ), and thats using discount with Wayland. Even then, theres other gaming stuff I'd like to get( Dice, Cards & game magazines ), so yes the Knights can fit snuggly into that budget.

Can you build any of the Seraphon monsters without tack or riders? Those would work for dinosaurs in AT scale (even the smaller ones like Salamanders and the like).

I'm actually tempted to get more Knights now.
Being old and sad and grognard, perhaps even a little bit crusty, Adeptus Titanicus is about the Titans, like wot is wos wen I wos yung. So that's what I've focussed on.
The option to field more variety with maybe, £60-£80 worth (after discount) is mighty tempting. And the Questoris are a really, really nice kit to work with.

That sounds awefully cute. I'd get some just to have one fight the squirrel from the new BB Halflings.
The local store was out of AT Knights again, so I got a box of 40 sized Armigers for my brother instead. He'll have to build his Knight Warden and its new squires now, instead of of an army of shrink-rayed ones

I would much rather see just some round out additions for the current knights (weapon options/variant types) and additional weapon option sprues for the Titans. While I like having the knights in the game, I would prefer the focus to stay on the Titans, maybe other variant titans, some specific chaos type upgrade sprues to represent late in the heresy period...More terrain sprue options.. (actually having the weapon cards available for purchase or heaven forbid, just include them in with the actual model for all weapon options included on the sprues....)
Continue with rules and legion specific benefits for other titan legions...
I would still love to start seeing xenos war machines, super heavies,,, etc... but can wait on them and hope that may be a spin off for inclusion later, perhaps even a post-heresy game add on (can just see a GM edition with a great gargant and two stompas against a phantom and two revenants....oh and yes, at least for the visual and center piece an imperator....
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those ... moments will be lost in time, like tears...in rain

You can, but if you want them to look right they require a fair bit of cutting & sculpting work to remove all the harnesses and saddle details etc.
