Hurrah! Glad to see the Reaver Vulcan given +1 for short range!

Was hoping they would address the WD claim that Castigator bolt cannons were ideal for stripping void shields but never mind...maybe thats in DOM. Just waiting on the copy to arrive early next week...

Thanks for that, reds8n.

Page 35 in Doom of Molech has a reference to Acastus Knight banners in the rules. They’re on their way!

Also, a little fun stratagem is the Titan hunter infantry in the back. Take two markers (aka stands) and place them in buildings to represent heavy weapon squads, rapiers and the like. Perfect excuse to break out the Epic infantry!

Well, ideal is a stretch, but the Lances get a new order that raises their Str value so a Banner full of brraap guns is not strictly useless.

Zedmeister, Sherrypie - you have just made my day completely!

To know the Acastus is a thing for sure and an order for raising strength for knights is great news. I'm hoping my copy arrives monday, but...damn! Thats brilliant.

Just wondering what a absolute minimum House force will consist of. At the moment I have two banners with a third arriving with DOM. I'm thinking another set of Cerastus with obviously the Acastus when they arrive...5 banners?

Cheers all the same! ^_^

I'm hoping for Acastus to come soon. Probably something like warhound level weaponry on a knight chassis and slight durability over a cerastus. 2 packs would be nice, but I can also see them coming out as singles.

Hope once the acastus comes out that we get the warbringer next. Also hoping that demand for the warlord resin weapons is enough that we get a third weapon sprue in plastic.

Warhammer Fest is two weeks away, if they're going to unveil new AT models soon it'll be there...

It would depend on the Acastus' minimum banner size, but if continuing the current trend( Questoris 3-6, Cerastus 2-4 ) then 1-2 in a banner. Probably £20 for a single Acastus.

The Warbringer would be a good choice as the next Titan because it also uses the Reaver arm weapons, has a quake cannon( maybe the Warlord's mori-quake cannon rules will suffice? ) and its the only other Titan with a 40K version available. It seems as if it can use weapon cards already included in the rule set so it would just be a case of including the command terminal template in White Dwarf( reminding players to use the Quake Cannon as a carapace weapon ) and of course the usual 5-pack terminals. Not sure if thats what they'll actually do, but if he sees the light of day then he might be about £50.

The quake cannon on the Warbringer carapace and Warlord arm are supposed to be the same gun, yes. Though the Warbringer version has an artillery style mount which will probably affect the range and maybe let it ignore cover?
Regardless the strength and dice should stay the same.

The current FW model is not a regular Warbringer though. Its a Nemesis variant of the class. While I'd love to see a AT version of the FW model, I'd also want to see the non Nemesis type as well.

It looks to mount a warlord scale gun on the carapace, so nemesis would likely be the auake cannon and volcano cannon. Non nemesis variants could be the sunfury, macro gatling, or to be more unique, the sonic cannon off the ordinatus.

The more the merrier!

IIRC from a WHTV segment around its release, the Nemesis designation is due to it mounting a weapon from a bigger class. So potentially it could have a fairly wide range of carapace options based on the Warlords armoury. Most of the arm weapons are probably fair game(with the exception of the power claw), maybe even mono versions of the Warlords paired carapace guns as well.

For the non Nemesis Warbringer I'm thinking it could essentially be a mini Warlord with paired carapace guns based on the existing Reaver weapons with one or two new ones thrown in(paired plasma?).

Sadly, the FW folks said the Warbringer - despite having digital files for such - is still some time off.

Not sure what Titan they have in store for us next, but it's unlikely to be that one.

I'd prefer more nimble and close range focus Titan rather than more shooty one.

Or something innovative, like a support titan.

Agreed, I'd like to see something inbetween a Knight and a Warhound. Actually, I think that's potentially the most interesting area to explore, both in terms of the models that are already available at 40k scale, like the Acastus Knight Porphyrion through to the proposed and as-yet unseen light scout that has been mentioned before.

Not the same weapon at least in 40k/30k. Ignores LOS(it's artirelly)

Epic will return some Day...

DOM arrived today!

Just a heads up for those wondering about Knight battlegroups; a minimum force is one "lance"( which is made of 3 banners, at least two being the same type ) and a support banner of "free knights".

Each banner that is part of a lance must contain Knights equiped with the same weapon. If you are stocking up on Knights but not yet read DOM, then the Questoris are going to pose a problem because the set includes three different weapons( which I guess we all know by now ). The best solution seems to be 3 packs of Questoris which will give a banner of each cannon type.

For the time being, maybe just 3 packs of Lancers for the "Lance" and 1 pack of Questoris for "free-blade" support( weapons can be different )? Hmmm...

Freeblade are pretty bad, especially single box Questoris where you are forced to take the Avenger Gatling which is completely useless, in a lance they might had some use with the new order. (that still didn't seem to make it any better). The Seneschal banner can take mix weapon with the tradeoff of not being able to use the new order.

Knights need at least Atrapos and some other type knight like acastus, armiger, or dominus to make a somewhat fun army. Right now it's just not very exciting. Not to mention the Knightly Qualities are not unique, they did copy and paste a few Qualities between the household, like seriously.

I have to agree, Chopstick, that the model range simply isn't strong enough to support Doom of Molech. The Questoris should have had a plastic upgrade kit for Doom of Molech, with more copies of the three weapons and of course the storm pods. Some power fists would have been ideal too.

Regarding the freeblade leaving no choice but to equip the Avenger Cannon...one could replace the gatling part of the weapon with a very inexpensive plastic rod from a model-hobby store. Its a hack but an easy way none-the-less to have 1 Thermal and 2 Battle cannons...

*beep *beep* *beep*

Guess who has had made several banners with non-standard weapons AND WITH DIFFERENT PAINT COLOUR per banner?

Gee this kind of rule would have been nice to have in original rules. Grumble grumble. Makes these knight only lists impossible for me with wysiwyg without repainting(ugh) or looooots more money to be spent.

Grumble grumble.

I wouldn't sweat it about the mixed colours. A "crusade" style force of mixed households fits the 30k background pretty well IMO. And the custom weapons can easily be explained away as different patterns of existing stuff.

My friend, it happens to the best of us!

I'm now staring at a brand new sprue of Questoris...wondering what the dickens to do with them!

I think it'll just be the bodies for now and leave the arms for another time...

Basicly a showcase of how you can mix some normal 40k terrain and the vine kit into AT terrain.

Gave FW a ring today, and they apparently remain in a bit of a shambles.

They have no idea what's happening with the black books. Are they getting the missing hardbacks back in? Dunno. Are they going to print softback versions of the ones presently sold as hardbacks? Dunno. When will the softbacks they do make be back in stock? Dunno.

Asked about the Titanicus weapons - would only speak in generalities, restock "typically" takes a few weeks but may take more than a month. In other words, Dunno.

I get it's not the guy answering the phone's fault, but crikey it's frustrating.

Thanks for making the effort, Yodhrin.

I've already waited years to get my hands on this game. I guess a month or so to get my weapons is chump change.

I'd thought that they'd be doing the usual; first print run is hardbacks, then all subsequent runs paperback.

For those seeking the new Warlord Weapons?

Seems the Forgeworld Store at Warhammer World has them in stock daily. Unsure about Warhammer Café, or the handful of other stores that carry expanded stock.

I appreciate this probably isn't terribly useful, but felt worth sharing. I'm gonna see if I can get my friend who lives really close to nab me one of each. Shall bribe her with a pint!

Hey, that overgrown mossy ruin idea's not bad. Might nick that.

Their suggestion for combining 40K and AT terrain lacks vision, though.

What I wanna do is get hold of a Shrine of the Aquila (for the price of a Knight box), plus a set of those those Galvanic Servohauler crane things. Remove the floors, cover up the 28mm giveaway bits like the door and ladder, and hey presto: a ruined Titan maintenance hangar complete with huge repair vehicles. Just like the inside cover of the AT rulebook, except explodified.
