How about no

How about yes. It makes it a lot harder to read on mobile devices and is totally needless.

...its just not the same game anymore!

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

Maybe they will go really wild and bring back the full scale Legio decals as well. And maybe restock the warlord sinister!

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.

While technically true, I can't see that happening based on what they have publicly announced about their intentions for the game.

I'm happy to entertain evidence to the contrary, though. I loved Epic, but I also understood how it eventually failed under the weight of too many SKUs.

Make Epic it’s own thing, don’t add the stuff to Titanicus. They were always separate games anyway, weren’t they? And frankly I don’t trust them to add loads of stuff to Titanicus like that while keeping it the pretty damn good game it is now.

Their saying is repeatedly contradicting. Everyone say other things

They might make tiny marines when they ran out of ideas and too lazy to come up with new one. Plus making them cost penny compared to a knight or titans.

I, too, want some tiny Vindicare to put on the balcony on the Warbringer, maybe a tiny titan cockpit with the Princerp.

I'd love to see an Horus Heresy Epic game, which could use AT Titans and Knights models, but would prefer seeing the systems being separate. Would be great to have some 8mm Heresy-era plastic infantry.

Given the snail pace release schedule for Titanicus and Aeronautica, this sounds sensible.

I really hope they don't do Horus Heresy Epic scale. If just because it locks out all the Xenos races :(


I can't see them making the systems separate scales, they'd scale them the same. The rules would be different. Heck even in the first editions of all these things the rules between AT and Titan Legions and Epic were different - you don't need fine grain control over titans when you've got dozens of other units to command as well.


Also don't forget marines change a lot after the HH events; whilst titans basically don't. So right now its early HH battles with titans, but they can advance the story to any point they want without having to change titans save that traitor armies would become more warped and mutated. Which is something I really hope they do "soon". Imperial VS Imperial is nice, but there's so much more out there

To be fair, I’ve yet to see anything about Titanicus as a system that’s actually heresy specific other than as an excuse to have one faction, two if you count knight households separately from Titans.

Fw is still lying and saying they come with a card terminal https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-CA/Adeptus-Titanicus-Mechanicum-Cerastus-Knights-Atrapos-2020

"Includes a card Command Terminal with rules for your models"

https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-CA/Mechanicum-Questoris-Knights-Magaera-2020

Compare the language "Includes a Command Terminal with all their rules"

Adeptus Titanicus is already Horus Heresy.

So this just happened: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/01/01/new-year-preview-sample-the-decadent-delights-2021-has-in-store/

Hmm, interesting. Trying to work out what sort of size that is (I'm assuming all the shots are of one model, though guess it could be two different ones). It looks almost like it could be Warlord sized, if not bigger. The shoulder\upper arm looks similar to the warlord but bulkier and that gun looks pretty hefty, like a more powerful sunfury (could just be a different design for something smaller, but that would seem unusual when we already have designs for various scales of plasma weapon). Obviously the old Imperator had a big plasma weapon, but the carapace doesn't look right for that (no massive cathedral on it!)

The top carapace looks like it could be quite open (like the Warbringer) and obviously looks to have some sort of air defence turret. The two air intakes also match the Warlord though side by side rather than one above the other, which also suggests it's warlord sized.

Cant quite work out what's going on with that segmented armour down the front though, seems weirdly positioned and can't work out exactly how it all fits together from that angle.

And obviously, there's the question, will we get a 40k scaled one.

Imperator?

Doesn’t seem chunky enough for an Imperator.

Wild guess is it’s Reaver sized.

Corrupted titan of Warlord size and the Warbringer variant.

Hmm, could it be the Punisher Titan?

A tri-legged titan? That would certainly add variety in the game where it could be slow but a great advantage in maneuverability.

Looks bipedal to me, and those plasma guns are mounted above the legs. Not underslung like Punishers description(head as well IIRC). Going by the number and spacing of the armour trim studs I'm guessing its in the Warbringer or Warlord size range. Carapace/Shoulders look interesting. Quite bulky and open with some kind of heavy point defence and with a large gap between them. Maybe a non Warbringer based Nemesis type? But that multi segmented section is confusing. It looks to far forward to be part of the chest/crotch armour.

Yeah, it is weird, the largest panel looks like it is chest armour but then the smaller panels coming down from it seem really weirdly placed, so maybe further forward than that, I'm wondering if the body is quite flat and protrudes a long way forward from the waist and those panels are in the underside of it? Or maybe they are something else entirely, the difference in focus suggests they are much closer to the camera than the waist section, but can't work out what they could be.

No idea what it is, but I already know that I most probably want it.

I like the Nemesis like shoulder armour piece though.

Well goodness me, I thought this was Adeptus Titanicus, not "Adeptus Titanicus"...pffffhhh.

...oh hang on....doh!

Seriously, though, its great to have at least one new titan on the way but was deep down hoping for something just under the Reaver.

Going forward, I have two hopes for the game. The first is an expansion that allows a player to create their own custom maniples. The second is new rules that enhance household vs household battles, because the current rules feel like band-aid for levelling the playing field with titans.

Could be a reimagining of the old Nemesis class, before they made Nemesis a modifier.

Going to have to get 3 personally.

Funny we all expected the second warbringer, or the bitty rapier scout, and gw is like nope, nemesis warlord sized beast

A chap by the name of Christopher Parry attempted a picture stitch on the AT Facebook Group.

The weapons suggest a Warbringer or Warlord, but the abdomen area seems very flexible as if to suggest a mobile frame. The carapace is a bit odd and looks like a heavy hitter carapace.

I suspect the "shoulder" should be higher up and more to the left. But Tavis75 could be on to something with the beastie having a long torso.

Y’know, at first I thought it was the Volcano Cannon Warbringer, but laid out like that it’s clearly a different, but quite similar beast.
I’m going to concur with the notion that this is just a regular non-Nemesis Warbringer chassis. Beefy looking plasma cannon there, hope the stats aren’t too out of whack.
Seems to have single-barrel defence cannon too.

Warlord nemesis? Warlord with scale up weapon

OMG could it be a Centaur titan?
