I have to agree that the new terrain is very neat, but its so small for AT. However as terrain features for AT and Aeronautica and a potential "epic return" they are great. So perhaps this is more seeding for a possible epic future (a lon gway off of course)

Feels like some of the new stuff was intended to be used more as Titan base decorations than actual terrain.

For the first time I feel absolutely justified in saying; git gud.

Cool. Way to respond to none of the substantive arguments.

I'm pretty much immune to the attempted insult. I'm a decent player. Not that that matters really - I wouldn't need to be good to see that Acastus knights are broken.

I continue to believe you have never played a game of AT.

All they have to do is making AT scale of 40k terrain, instead we got half-sinking low detail building, isn't resin stuff suppose to achieve superior detail compare to plastic?

If these things do anything to the game it’s to make areas impassable. They’re too small to give cover to anything. But I’m not sure they should block movement either as pretty much any Titan could just stomp through them.

Maybe they just had the cad files from doing the tiles and decided to release them as bits.

That might be a little harsh. But I agree that 'just use enough terrain' suggests a lack of understanding about AT gameplay.

Anyway, yeah, the terrain items were probably just a low-hanging fruit opportunity. But at least it's another little appetizer, even if I'm ready for a full meal. My bet is still early 2020 for the next Titan chassis.

Did they post any scale pics of models with the new terrain?

Because I agree with the thoughts that it all looks to be too small/low?

Have a look at the front page of Forgeworld and they have it next to the Imperials blocks and a Questoris.

They are more decoration than terrain.

Right you are!

And damn, those things only partially obscure a Knight - swing and a miss there!

What would help terrain wise would be AT sized sector mechanicus/industrial stuff, and also a sprue of damaged/ruined imperalis building sections.

The funny thing is that for AI there’s a load of ground assets they’ve just released (I think, or they’re about to) that would look great for AT basing. They’re the kinds of things you’d find on a battlefield a bit more often than these random assorted civilian items.

I don’t hate this stuff but I don’t think I need it. I’d definitely have preferred it if they’d spent the time on something like alternate knight weapons instead. No harm done though.

Most of the bits are good detail pieces (and base toppers) but the “Manufactorum” is grossly undersized. More of an armoured workshop, really, suited to ground cars or maybe as an adjunct to an aircraft hangar.

I’m not even sure it would be the same scale size as GW’s own factory in Nottingham…

Child labor. They fit a ton of workers in that little building. Grimdark!

They look more appealing as AI bombing targets for larger games. But not really interested at the price.

I like the little terrain bits. I know that I would be complaining that they didn't release them seperately given that they already went to the trouble of designing them for the big tiles (which look amazing btw).

We could do with a lot more stuff like this to break up the boxy nature of titanicus terrain and add a little more life to the boards. Hopefully they finally release that train at some point along with a monorail system as that would look awesome.

The power generators are about the only thing I like there. That manufactorum is really small, unless its intended to produce something like lasgun battery packs or such.

FINALLY! Next week Pre-order!!!

Sweet Now if FW would only do a 40k scale version of that crown head

Also I hope this isn't count as the 4th quarter release this year, because they've been sitting on this tiny sprue(and the new knight they claimed already made) for a long time. I hope it's not because they didn't get more people/machine and push everyone/production slot into making AI kit instead....

The legio Tempestus transfers are cool. I do like their scheme, and haven’t settled on a Legio yet.

Well bugger my old boots! About bloomin time but better late than never!

Spoiler:

I was wondering who the barricades are for then I saw the Citizens of the Shire on the bottom.

Ratling infantry for AT confirmed!

I remain baffled that the Questoris upgrade sprue includes so many fists--purely decorative alternatives to the chainswords as far as I know--instead of extra ranged weapons.

Is there something about rocket-punching in the Molech book that I've missed? Or are they future-proofing for fisticuff rules to come?

It would be awesome if they had new rules for that. The Rapid trait would obviously make sense for the chainsword, but maybe +1 strength for the fist?

With the known and rumoured release schedule for the rest of 2019 I'd be very surprised to see any other plastic AT stuff before Jan. However we could see the remaining Warlord weapons as interim FW releases like they did with the others.

That's what happen when you let double fist spammer designing the sprue. Also 3 melta even though you already got one in the main kit. Truly a cunning and thoughtful individual is behind this masterpiece.

But hey it's plastic and not resin.

If only the nanofactorum could imply the return of squat infantry … ;-)

I'd be surprised if they don't follow up last years Titan Battlegroup with a Knight Household set.

Just with the current three sets one can have a legal lance and support, rivalling a 3-hound luperical maniple in points.

Great, I can finally build my errants.

Pity there isn’t a Paladin head on the sprue :(

Now, if they can release a Metalica/ Raven transfer sheet I’ll be happy

Glad the Atarus sheet is finally out. I can make my little titans match my big ones, and have smaller versions of some markings to put on the full size models as well.
