I like the idea, but how is it supposed to load/reload?

**Overread**

I'd assume they'd load it from behind within the titan itself?

**AegisGrimm**

Indeed, looks like the ammo is slid out of the door and into the breach.

**Crablezworth**

It's also using the same rules as the missile launcher so it's ammo is pretty limited in the rules, I think it can only fire for four rounds of the game.

**Crablezworth**

Just to underline how bad they are for the points, here's a good article on the volkite weapons and their issues in game:

**CorwinB**

On the one hand, I'm glad that this is not the other way around, with a hard to get an expensive FW weapon becoming a "must have" because it would be much more efficient point for point than alternatives.
On the other hand, I'm really sad that those (at least the Warhound & Reaver versions) don't even seem to have a niche use... Also very angry at the "card included" packaging.

**zedmeister**

What a pity. Definitely should have been beam weapons by default

**Crablezworth**

So just another example of how cool the AT third party options are and how far ahead of gw/fw they are, this is artisans of vaul's new warmaster carapace weapon, it also seems like the mount might be workable for some of the warbringer carapace weapons.

Well, good thing my flgs has some warmasters in stock.

**SamusDrake**

Just noticed that Battlebling now has claws and lances for warhounds, for £7 each.

Not sure which one to go for when dealing with Knights...

RAW the claws do zilch against Knights, so...

**SamusDrake**

And that goes for the lance as well?

**gorgon**

Natrix Shock Lance causes Titans to go on Shutdown orders.

So have the US folks who ordered Volkite weapons...got theirs yet? My order has been pending for almost 3 weeks. Most of my order was other stuff, but I'm starting to wonder about it.

**SamusDrake**

Ah, so they aren't really worth it then.

Cheers.

My lot have turned up. Just got the Destructor to assemble. The Eradicators are going to be shelf warmers for now but I've got them for completionist sake

Edit: ah sorry, didn't spot the US

Nope. Still waiting on mine as well. I ordered them as soon as they were available, and they still haven't been shipped (along with the other stuff I ordered). I'm not sure what the point of a preorder is if they don't actually fulfill it when the items are available.

**gorgon**

Seems like a number of people are in the same boat. Wonder if they never got their shipment in?

I'm hoping other stuff in my order doesn't go out of stock before they find/receive/create all the missing volkites.

**MajorWesJanson**

I've not been impressed with FW's fufillment lately. And their billing process is a mess, not counting the non-UK markup slapped onto everything these days.

**Crablezworth**

Just putting it out there, battlebling's ability to ship in a reasonable timeframe is worthy of note, in my case it was literally a bespoke model order because they had to print the custom titan name plates and I'm pretty sure that took like 2-3 days and shipping was super fast considering, less than a couple weeks.

Compared to FW, almost everyone ships in reasonable timeframe.

Except Mierce.

The Warmaster Iconoclast Heavy Battle Titan walks!

Completely unexpected, totally OTT, and an absolute must-have!

**Crablezworth**

Really hoping they sell just the weapons sprue, I love my warmaster but I don't need 2 of them. It looks awesome though.

WarCom wrote:On its left arm, you can equip either the Krius siege drill or Krius grav imploder. The former is simple – a massive drill designed to crack fortifications, handily mounted within an enormous claw.

The grav imploder, however, is a device from a lost age, barely understood by the reckless Tech-Priests who now sanction its use. Through means unknown, the grav imploder concentrates gravity into a beam that turns the mass of an enemy against itself. This curious weapon can effortlessly implode a Titan into a heap of molten slag or crumple a Knight like an empty tin of corpse starch.

I can't see much of a difference in the photos...

**zedmeister**

Good grief, that's mental!

Nah, it’s just the middle bit. I wish they were more different, it took me a couple of reads to even realise they’d shown both. Love the chainsaw though, with the hook for presumably pulling apart buildings (and Titans).

**Prometheum5**

That was unexpected. Melee Warmaster seems like it's going to be tough to use effectively but it's mighty pretty.

**SamusDrake**

Oh. A Forgeworld kit. How ordinary.

Why not pick up some warhounds? Maybe because we already have so many of them...?

**Overread**

It looks perfectly built to grapple with other titans! Or Tyranids or Greater Demons. All those flamers and miniguns and that huge chain fist and sword - its built to get right in close and make a mess of anything it got into contact with
