With the atrapos getting card terminal do we think there will be a chance fw switches the psi titan's terminal to card?

All I know is I got a nemesis warbringer in today and now I’m a bit irked that it came with a paper thin terminal with no punched holes.

Yeah sadly the only current way to get the card one is in the box of 5 terminals.

Is there such a product? I looked for it, but didn’t find it. I’d gladly get a real terminal if one existed.

Oh I see it now, they redid the five pack that used to have 2/2/1 terminals to 2/1/1/1.

They're slightly reformatted too I think, little smaller than the old ones.

So bad news, either fw is lying or there was a miscommunication but no card terminal, still paper with no holes punched

Along those lines, as I'm going to make a go of building my own Warlord Sinister, is there a download available of its terminal and cards, and/or are they available for purchase in one of the terminal/card packs?

No idea about the terminals save for googling some images, which I tend to do.

Intrigued as to your plan to build the Sinister. Scratch build? 3D Printed? Kit-bash? Loo-rolls?

It's more or less the same as the warlord terminal just different point cost and locked in left arm weapon. But I believe the armour values and pips are all the same otherwise.

Probably a bit of all that - I've got access to a nice 3D printer these days too!

Spoiler:

That's a nice image, if nothing else I should be able to print one out.

I was hoping for an 'official' one being available for download (I thought that FQ/GW already did that for us?) or purchase in a pack - and I'm surprised that the weapons at least didn't show up in one of the various card packs that were for sale...

Yeah it's a bit weird they won't even give us the option to self gouge ourselves. Double weird on the card front, they had no prob doing one off card prints in the warbringer's box. There's pics of the sinistre tenebre card in shadow and iron I think.

I like getting the thin versions now. I apply rubber steel sheet on the back and use magnetic push pins for my counters. Works great.

If the Rapier scout is next, it would make sense for them to print the 5 pack of just that terminal.

As for cards, I'd personally love it if they did an "Omnissiah-issued weapons pack, with the carapace weapons for the warbringer, claw and lance for the warhound, psy titan arm, and then some new options they can add in resin later like carapace plasma and support missiles for the warlord, sonic disruptor for the warbringer carapace or warlord arms, carapace flamer and maybe volkite for the reaver.

They might also mix other "missing" cards in with the Rapier pack.

I'd love to see more weapon options for existing Titans. Hard to say what's in the future though.

Well, fingers crossed. I believe we are due an engine kill article today...

This week's engine kill confirms that Legio Ignatum transfers are returning in 2021.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/12/29/lore-the-fire-wasps-of-the-legio-ignatum/

A Facebook reply by FW mentions that other discontinued transfer may return as well. This is good news.

2019 - "Adeptus Titanicus".
2020 - "Adeptus Knighticus"
2021 - "Adeptus Transfericus"

...its just not the same game anymore!

Although, I’m more excited for transfers to come back than for more Knights...

But wait....what if those transfers are for knights?

How long until GW decides they can get more money out of Titanicus by putting Marines in it though

Yeah, the one game where new marines would actually be welcome!

Honestly the problem is, marines don't really add a ton in terms of interesting gameplay. They just have a handful of superheavy tanks that would realistically be involved in titanic combat, and they're not particularly compelling, I would argue they're less iconic than stuff like Baneblades - like really, how many people can recall from memory what a Falchion or a Mastodon looks like - and in general they would not seem to have much of an actual reason to be involved. If you've got a giant robot protected by impenetrable shields that can flatten cities with its cannons, you're not going to commit infantry assets to that battlefield that cost you 200000 times more per head and that don't make a lick of difference.

But hey, AT does have the rule that a single melta gun can cause a S8 ignoring void shields hit, so really the most cost-effective weapon in the game would be a space marine assault squad with a pair of melta guns for 32 points

They could just make cool models for existing battlefield assets and they'd sell like hot cakes. The could make it so the smaller assets are what's used to control an objectives like with goonhammer's home brew scenario.

Don't the Legions have entire Special weapon squads so upto 20 marines ALL with Melta guns?

On one hand, even more bloody Marines in everything

On second hand, Plastic Epic-Scale Marines

Up to 10, but other than that, yes.

As to reasons for fielding... I was under the assumption that marines and rhinos and the like could get inside the shields. Were I a princeps, I would not like to have space marines with access to the unarmored and unshielded bits of my titan... then again, that's what battlefield assets are like in AT.

as much as the first is true and not a good thing, the second would be 30K(mk III, IV, V)PLASTIC marines, which is obviously a worthy application of Astartes

But we already have Mark III and IV as plastic kits.

Stop stacking quote, posts are literally on the same page.

FW had repeatedly said that this is a game of Titans, not a retread of Epic.

They have enough Titan material to keep them going for years, so while I understand that some would like to see the game go that way, it's not in FW's plans.

If a GW exec says,

"Hey guys I noticed you could include Marines in this game, how about you do that?" FW would ask "How many?" and that'd be that.
