Looks like you can have either a siege drill or Graviton Imploder in that arm.

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

I would assume it's a GW plastic kit, considering it has multiple head options and a whole new set of weapons, so the standard sprue swap that they do for AT. A FW release would likely be individual weapons.

Still not a 28mm Warmaster though...

Given the size of it, it could simply step on Greater Deamons to kill them on the spot.

Some of these numbers are a tad odd:

It's 40m tall and 100 tons? Shouldn't that be 1000 tons or something?

Yes and No - Greater Demons don't have a set size as such. Heck in the old Epic days the Epic model and the 40K model were one and the same for a time. Representing that a greater demon growing in power would grow in size to vast proportions.


So yes it could step on a lesser greater demon sized for 40K; but for one that had grown in power to be titan in size it would have to fight it out.

Ordinarily I'd agree with that assessment(its a good point) but after the Warbringer "upgrade" I wouldn't get our hopes up. That one definitely should've been a plastic sprue swap out.

Oh good, I glued the top gun in on my warmaster because it seemed a fixed part of the carapace...

Also that chainsword looks weirdly flimsy for a melee weapon on that scale. And kinda knight-like, titans don't generally do chainswords.

Hopefully you can mix and match arms and carapace between the iconoclast and standard.

"chainsword the size of a skyscraper" seems like a weird way to advertise it, when the titan carrying the chainsword is itself not the size of a skyscraper (it would be less than half the height of the statue of liberty at 40m tall per a later paragraph in the same article - the damned thing would be dwarfed by most of the buildings in manhattan.

100 tons is also a hilariously light weight for something supposedly that large - an M1 Abrams battletank weighs 70 tons and is only a fraction of the size of a titan.

I believe you can, I think it's like the warlord kit, the body is the same just the arms and carapace and heads/faces are different. The real question is if they'll be selling the sprues separately on release or not, if they don't battle bling deserves to eat their lunch.

In fairness, the statue of liberty is 46 metres tall, counting the building it's on top of is pretty misleading.

Maybe the iconoclast box and traitor compendium in stores, and sprue as direct only at the same time?

Hope so, it just seems unrealistic to own two warmasters.

The 100 tons stuck out to me as well. a Battletech mini is roughly the same scale and stands ~28 mm and the biggest mechs are 100 tons. Even 1000 tons seems light for a Titan.

Ya, much like the chainsword the size of a "skyscraper" more like apartment block lol

GW numbers have always been nonsense.

Hopefully this variant won't be put of stock a week after it goes up for sale. The Warmaster hasn't been available for months at this point

Yeah it should weigh a lot more. Maybe only 100 tons of it are filled with "ruinous energy" and the rest is filled with like "mild bemusement" or "passing irritation"?

Maybe it’s just the grav-imploder that’s 100 tons? Or the chainsword with, for some reason, an integral billhook in case merely swinging twenty feet of whirring teeth at a building was somehow insufficient.

New battle cannon turrets instead of Hydra Flak turrets.

Nah. Those are options on the current kit too.

Yeah, probably griffon mortar barbettes

That would be 100 Martian Tons as opposed to Metric Tons or Standard Tons. Don't get them started on the Martian inch, because Napoleon was 6,814 Martian Inches tall

Talk about out of nowhere.

Alas, it's another Titan my Ember Wolves can't field. Although it would probably look pretty good in allied Vulpa colors, now that I think about it...

Would be a fun conversion to attach chains to it's "Fingers" down to Warhounds and have this taking them out for "Walkies"

Why not pick up another box of hounds, gorgon?

Make those latin and they would make some great Titan names.

40K years into the future, a clerical error converting Martian tons, sci-fi metals and it's all made up.

To be fair, we Audax players are a special case.

I'm saving my Audax funds for Rapiers and corrupted Titans at this point. I guess I could pick up a Warmaster for my Praesagius, but they're really just a secondary Legio/punching bag for my Audax. And I'd certainly take the regular Warmaster over this one in that instance.

But cool model and it's good to see continuing AT support in a big way (pun intended).
