Wait, the what? Battle Titan scaled choom?

Indeed. Look through my OP spoiler, but back during the Vigilus Open Day, the following was hinted by the Forgeworld team:

There are plans for a titan Volkite weapon but this would be a rare relic and limited use within a maniple. Also, no idea yet which class of titan it would be mounted on.

Obviously, that's a few years ago, so who knows what plans they have now...?

Ugh, Mechanicus Knights being FW kits is a gigantic disappointment.

I don't know, it seems rather apt to me.

Based on that, I think we can assume the Atropos and Asterios will also be resin.

They look great for sure but they'll be four times as expensive and fiddly little kits.

Fingers crossed this means that the AT plastic budget is going towards the god engines themselves.

No but unless they plan to cancel the game there will be more knight in plastic, and what more fitting than the titan hunter, made for Titan warfare itself? it'll be crazy if it isn't in plastic. Knight Styrix and Magaera were not made to fight Titan, they were made to fight tiny power armor soldiers.

True but my guess would be that like the porphyrion, the atropos will likely be limited in how many you can field due to its rarity. So in that sense resin wouldn't be the end of the world given its rarity, on the syrix and magaera side, it sound like fielding 4-6 will be pretty expensive.



FW did indeed confirm 100% resin kits for these guys, really thought they'd be plastic resin.

Just saw that. This'll be expensive. What you reckon, £16 per knight or two for £30?

Based on previous patterns, these'll probably be up for pre order on the 6th or 13th November

I'm happy to see more knights at somewhat 8mm scale, but...it's again another knight release for a game called Adeptus Titanicus.

It's somewhat a bit sad there are so many knight variants and...not so much as what should the stars of the game, the Titans themselves ?

Rulewise, I'm not sure it's a great idea to put those on the new knights. I mean, do we really need Void Shield stripping knights in the game... ? What role can the knights not fill anymore in the game, in the end ?

Yet another let down for 2020...

Love the rules, and the models are decent, but would only consider a FW product if the local Warhammer Stores could order it in. No doubt these chaps will be £15-ish for a single knight on top of £3.50 postage, so thats about £33.50 for just two Questoris knights.

The silver lining to this cloud is that GW are free to work on a plastic titan instead...

Really hoping this doesn't mean they'll be doing the other warbringer options in resin.

I guess it depends how the try and sell them, my guess is it would be one of each in a pack of two, but who knows what the banner size will be. If a warlord arm is 30, buy guess is 60-80 for two knights.

Given there was no accompanying kit for Crucibal of Retribution...could these resin knights be up for pre-order this friday?

Even Doom of Molech had the pleasure of a terrain kit as well as a card deck...

Nah, they’ve started saying what’s up for preorder this week from Forge World in the Sunday articles. It’s the 40k book and the Necromunda doctor this Friday.

It's £30 for two resin Vultures so that seems pretty likely.

I think it's crystal clear now that AT isn't high on the priority list for plastics manufacturing, so they're selling what they can -- books, cards, resin -- in the meantime to keep the lights on.

They're probably sitting on the Warbringer variant and maybe even a new Titan chassis (Rapier?) until they can get some machine time. Is what it is.

I'd go with this, because Blackstone Fortress is still being sold but temporarily out of stock, and is the same for the new Marine and Necron ranges.

They're putting significant resources into the Indomitus MtO for December. The last time supply was this patchy was just before Indomitus initial release, and it got back to normal as soon as that was done (this was well into the Covid lockdown period).

Confirmed to be a FW resin kit on Facebook.

And confirmed to not be just an upgrade kit, but full resin miniature. Why buy a plastic Titan when you can get a resin knight for the same price?

Saves me money. Plastic would have been auto buy, FW resin easy pass.

I dunno, considering how many sets and half sets are still around I wonder if they had a fair few cancelled orders of Indomitus after the initial hype wore off. More likely its building up stock for Christmas bundle sets that is now taking up a lions share of production excess.

That is assuming GW still does them this year of course.

I guess wake me up when the they release a second faction? We’re running low on material at this stage unless they’re gonna tap into the alternative plastic 40k knights.

Seeing a knight in resin actually makes me a bit excited that it might mean there's a bit of a lag in new plastic. Which might mean they are gearing up for something big like Chaos Warped Titans or Xenos Titans. So they bundle in a resin knight to tide people over since the resin mould production is much cheaper.

I do hope they make a bold step; right now its mirror armies in terms of visuals and whilst that is fine, it does mean that it feels hobbled. AN is already flying out with Orks and Tau and likely more xenos and chaos to come so AT really needs to step up the game. Advance the timeline a little and start to get some more non-imperial titans

They have multiple Imperial Titan chassis in development and they’re still exploring the Heresy. Xenos aren’t coming for a long time. Corrupted Titans...yeah, we’ve seen references to them in the rules so they can’t be too far out. AT mostly just needs more consistent support, not some dramatic change of scope.

Oh yay more Adeptus Knightanicus

Currently there're 5 Titan chasis vs 4 Knight chasis. If you count weapon options as variant Titans easily beat Knights in variety, if you play the game then you know the Titan come with massive bonus from their legio and maniple while knight's rule is. ...badly written and terrible. Also official rule put some hefty restriction on them too in case you really want to be that guy with Knights.

That is from a presentation or Q&A they held at an event well over a year ago. The highlights were on the front page of this thread at one point.

Looks like you're the one who wrote this up:

- - They have more Titans in the works

- - One scout lighter than Warhound
- - Between Warhound and Reaver
- - Between Reaver and Warlord
- - Between Warlord and Imperator

Garro also shared this from one of the weekenders:

Future plastic releases plan include new titan chassis. they’ve got a loose plan for another six at least, one slightly bigger, and one slightly smaller than each of the three existing Titans.

If you're asking if anyone has updated confirmation, I think that's a no. Although the Rapier has been popping up in the books, so that one seems pretty likely and fills the lightest slot.

Well, the Nemesis is the between Reaver and Warlord Titan and the Rapier is the lighter Titan. The apocalypse class has recently appeared in the lore and is meant to be heavier than a Warlord.
