As fascinating as all this side discussion is, we'd probably better get back to the "news and rumors" thing.

Hey guys - so as not to derail the thread further, there is a really cool Epic thread down in the Specialist Games section of the forum - lots of people's ongoing Epic projects there and discussion and new posters always welcome

You're a bit behind the times man, you mean to say Vanguard Miniatures!

I stand corrected!

So, any idea as to when we can expect to see the new Iconoclast and Traitor book?

GW seem to occasionally preview stuff well in advance. It's been a while since they previewed the new Aeronautica Imperialis stuff with Marines vs Eldar, and I haven't seen anything about it since.

Oh snap is that really not out yet?


At this point I wouldn't be surprised if AI was just quietly dropped, it's a prime candidate to be sacrificed to cut down a bit on the corona-induced backlog.

I hope they don't drop it, but they really screwed the game, so I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't take off and they end up dropping it.

Once the Eldar and Marines come out, I think the only faction missing from the original game would be Chaos.

Dang true, the marine flyers would be great for AT too. If they do both get released close to one another, it's only a matter of time before someone chops up one of the marine flyers and puts it in the iconoclats drill/fist arm.




In other titanicus news, the grimdark terrain forklifts are awesome



They also released a counter set that that has a cool magnetizeable counter that works like a switch, would be cool for objectives or activations. Also a 7th counter that works for marking titans with their void shields down. Basically can put them next to titans or banners of knights to remember what order they're on. Can also add decals and stuff to the shields.

Also artisans of vaul and battle bling have some cool psi titan weapons

Oh man, those are just precious

Truly terrifying idea of it holding the Thunderhawk upwards, stomping around on the city making swooshing noises and laser sounds while all the tiny people get trampled....true grimdark

LOL, as cool as that would be, I think the AI aircraft are a bit too big for that to work. Maybe if they ever release the chibi-hawks, but I think there's a good chance they'll skip over those aircraft.

The one on the photo is the chibihawk. The actual Thawk is about twice as long.

Well, that's a Storm Eagle, not a Stormraven, so it's ain't full chibi.

That's the Storm Eagle, it's still pretty big, and I think a lot bigger than that photoshop image is showing. By chibi-hawks I mean those horrible GW (rather than FW) models, the Stormraven, Stormtalon and Stormhawk.

Those don't exist.

Nanananananana I can hear yoooouuuuuuu

Yea thunderhaw would be longer than reaver titan. And 80% warlords height. As funny as image would be thunderhawk won't fit to arm

Storm eagle is about as wide as warhound titan...

Recreate the famous 1975 darts championship*, just with giant stompy death robots and huge flying murderdarts

(* disclaimer - I have no idea if there was a famous championship in darts or any other sport in this year)

LOL. I definitely chuckled at that one.

MURDERDARTS! It has just the right blend of darkness and scale.

You could recreate the scene from Pacific Rim where Gypsy Danger drags the boat along to use as a club...

Suddenly I feel like I need Dark Eldar fliers at that scale.

Time to get back to news and rumours now please.

I won't lie, that was exactly where my mind went when reminded that they had previewed marine flyers that never got released.

The photo is literally of something in the current title of the thread. And we're speculating on its release, I can't see how more on topic that is or could be.


Ya see, this is called a warmaster iconoclast, its rumoured to be released eventually. It's also holding something rumored to be released.

Ya it's closer to 6mm, hope they come out around the same time.

It would be cool if the grav version can toss stuff around without having to drop shields.

If it could throw knights like bowling balls I'd suddenly decide I need a second warmaster.

Might work best with the thunderhawk lifter in the hands of the iconoclast for maximum swing.

No you're not. You're all being silly and will now take your newly beloved Angry-Marine-Dart into the Titanicus project thread, where such banter belongs.

We're also expecting you to put your money where your mouth is and deliver it for your next table!

No, seriously, it's in the thread title. Literally the topic.

How long before someone makes a carapace landing pad for the warmaster?

That needs to happen for sure, there are already ones out there for the warlord.

Crablezworth, Ingtaer is a mod and has made a polite request.

We're discussing a rumoured release in a thread that shares the title of that rumoured release, like I can't stress that enough, I've made an attempt to continue said discussion, which is the topic and on topic. I have every intent to keep discussing news and rumours in the thread where we dicuss news and rumoured releases for adeptus titanicus.

Well, I've said my piece and shall leave it there. What you do next is in your hands.
