The rules for psi-titans say they have to be used as support titans, and use their own psychic powers instead of orders. Those powers are 'determined by the Psi-titan class', implying we'll see more than just the Warlord Sinister.

The page also mentions Corrupted Titans & Renegade/Corrupted Knight Banners.

A-HA! Well, that means I have no reason to rush and buy the Warlord-Sinister. I can wait until more Psi-Titans are released with (what I presume will be) the option to field pure OS forces. That's what I want. I believe the OS stuff mentions corrupted Titans, so I take it those will be support options and counterpart to the W-S for us Traitor players. Maybe as soon as the next book (Kado).

Anyhoo, a shock lance option for Warhounds -- assuming it's a melee weapon like the Cerastus version -- is awesome. That's a cherry on top of this whole release for me. Audax rules, Ursus claws, and a melee weapon. That's just awesome. Sure wish I could make out those weapon profiles...

Was looking at the Warbringer. Same number of voids as the WL, but it degrades slightly faster. Moves an inch faster than the WL, and turns like the Reaver. Same number of clades as the WL. Think the reactor is the same as the WL? It does seem to fit between the WL and Reaver, although maybe somewhat closer to the WL. Seems really solid.

BELICOSA or mori quake only? That's pretty disappointing for carapace mounts. Was really hoping for something more exciting like a plasma mortar or sonic disruptor.

The open space on top is also just big enough you could probably put a landing pad for a storm talon or archaeopter up there too, like the old gyro copter on the warmonger.

Fave thing about the Psi Warlord?

And yes this is a bit late.

But it actually looks sinister when deployed amongst other Titans. I mean, the body shape is of course spot on. But the blank face plate and esoteric left arm weapon looks just odd enough. Like the design is at once clearly Imperial, but also bizarre.

That’s no small feat of design. To look right but also ‘not quite right’ is seriously skilled.

If I could wear any kind of hat without looking stupid, it would be doffed.

Couldn't quite read it, but yeah two new weapons for the Hounds. Happy days!

Okay, so looking at the points cost of the Warbringer itself and assuming the weapon points are the same as the Warlord and Reaver, we are looking at an overall cost of 395pts out of the box.

If this is correct I'm very happy, as I have two 1600pt armies and a Warbringer each will bring both up to almost 2000pts. Perfect

The new Warbringer and terrain are awesome as with every release so far. Really looking forward to building a huge terrain board with this stuff.

I am wondering if it would be more practical to wait until FW inevitably releases an alternate weapon for the Warbringer and then use the spare quake cannon for a massive ground emplacement...

The quake cannon mount on the back is removable, so no need to wait. What is funny is that the magnet sockets on the back to clip the ammo boxes onto the body on the full sized version have been miniaturized as well. Could maybe fit little 1mm magnets in there.

When I first ended up with six warhounds I ran out of armour and head combinations after four, so built those four each dual wielding one of the four weapon types and elected to leave the mixed armament ones unbuilt in case different cosmetic components came out.

So if there does end up being a second warhound box with ursus claws and shock lances I’ll be very happy to buy that and get up to a total of 8.

I expect the claws and lances will be resin, not plastic.

The 3 volcano Warbringer, aka warbringer on fire. Literally.

It would make sense, but at the same time warhounds are very limited in their armour plating at the moment. They could do with at least some more heads.

3 Claw and 3 Lance would probably fit 1 sprue.

Same. Fw has only limited amount plastic they can bring out

New stuff up for pre-order now, the Warbringer weapon sprue is new as predicted. Nice pics of the scenery sprues too.

very expensive

£85 is cheaper than I expected. Plus it comes with a terminal & weapon cards. Hmm...

Loyalist only with plenty of references to corrupted titans. Banelords, painlords, plaguelords and the like will be resin upgrades I suspect

Trying to work out what weapon cards come with the Warbringer, description says it comes with three but the images show it has at least two options for the carapace weapon. So does that mean it only comes with one of the two arm weapon cards?

I guess it would come with the three cards for the weapons in the box - Quake Cannon, Volcano Cannon and Laser Blaster.

It’ll be Carapace quake cannon and arm laser blaster + arm volcano cannon

That would have been my assumption, but the images on the GW site show cards for the Warbringer Carapace Mori Quake Cannon, Warbringer Carapace Belicosa Volcano Cannon and Reaver class Laser Blaster, no card for the Reaver class volcano cannon.

It'll just be a general product image we'll likely see reused on the Belicosa variant. Not all the product images are 100% accurate, like how the new command terminal pack shows 5 Warhound cards.

Picked a helluva time to have sold up.

Curses!

I joke, but maybe they know nobody is going to keep the stock volcano cannon.

Interestingly, the Warbringer cards include the "15+ critically disabled" result that is not dublicated in the Sinister weapons, so it is not a universal change. Might we see the first interaction with "special" hit location or just a thing to show a heavy artillery titan can blow its magazines extra hard when its gun take hits?

Spotted a new maniple I. The book. Arcus batteline maniple - 1 nemesis and 2-4 Warhounds. Warhounds act as spotters allowing the nemesis to fire without line of sight using the Warhound LoS

https://www.goonhammer.com/adeptus-titanicus-shadow-iron-review/

Canis Light Maniple is 3-5 Warhounds & exclusive to Audax. It allows a GSC-style 'blip' deployment system where titans are placed anywhere in 50% cover even outside your deployment zone. You also count as having deployed first.

Arcus is 1 Warbringer 2-4 Warhounds. As above, Warbringer can use Warhound LoS. It still has -2 to hit for firing indirectly, but blasts scatter D6 instead of D10.

Ruptura is 2 Warbringer 1-3 Reavers. One Reaver per turn can push its reactor for free to move faster, and all Reavers gain a free move action if a Warbringer kills an enemy titan.

Mandatum is 1 Warlord 2-4 Warhounds.Warhounds get +2 to command checks & get +1 to hit rolls against targets within 12” of the Warlord.

Warbringer carapace weapon looks like it is corridor arc, which is a bit of a shame. Makes it less useful than the Warlord versions, even though the Warbringer is more manoeuvrable.

Psi Titan's gun has the "Beam" characteristic. I'm guessing that means "draw a line and hit every target along it".

Maniples are a bit disappointing, you'd think there would be enough for the new titan so it could combo with all the other classes.

Well hello good looking



Any decent video reviews floating around?
