Did you notice the weird colour difference with the legio fureans warmaster and the rest of their titans?

Isn’t that mentioned in the little fluff blurb underneath it?

Edit: it is.

Dire Wolf Heavy Scout Titan!



When Warhounds Won’t Cut It – It’s the All-new, All-smashing Dire Wolf Heavy Scout Titan - WarCom

Looks terrible.

It’s a Chickenhawk. It eats Chickens.

I don’t hate it, but it does seem blocky.

I think it's chunky and excellent

Kinda weird. I don't initially hate it, but yeah, it's...idk.

Okay upon further inspection the pose is awful and the proportions aren't good in some places (notably the arms), but it can be salvaged with an arm weapon swap and a leg adjustment. I do dig the main gun mount. Overall nowhere near as good as the standard hound but it's something I can work with.

I actually kind of like it.

I do appreciate that the non-core chassis are more limited in load out though.

Well at least we can check that one off the list of "name-dropped but yet unseen" titans...

The fabled "Warhound Nemesis"

I like it but 3 of these will cost as much as a 3d printer, so I'll just wait for the STL

Anyone else getting Space Crusade Dreadnought vibes from that guy?

Yes, I like it. Clearly Legio Xestobiax needs a pair of them.

Yeah it's got that pose down, and the vertical symmetry too. Really needs a walking pose to break up the shape, and some underslung weapons like the standard warhound / Asterius, imo.

I freaking love that!

It's really really fat

I have a love/hate relationship with that design lol. Its goofy and weirdly proportioned and that makes it wonderful... but its still goofy and weird lol.

Good to see Titanicus is still getting new stuff, don't love the model though. I hope the kit allows more flexibility as even heavy scout titans should look less static and more mobile. That space crusade comparison is spot on.

Going with £50-55 as the price, based on the Asterius costing £40.

No way this costs more than a Reaver surely, unless it's sold in pairs.

I think I'm gonna stick some Armiger legs on mine.

Oh damn, I just had a thought - plastic or resin? :(

Reaver is plastic, so I'd guess it'll be about £45 for one.

Seems to be inspired by this conversion.

Looks like he scavenged up a large AT ST direct from the eighties for that one huh.

Nice! About time we got a new Titan. Good to see neutron lasers make an appearance as well

NOOOOOOOOO it's from Forge World based on the last bit in the article. Not more resin. So spoiled by those beautiful Titanicus plastic sprues. Praying it's a plastic box, but I don't think they ever have said "from forgeworld" without it meaning resin (as opposed to specialist games or what not).

At the same time, I'm NOT seeing the usual print lines and artifacts from the for sure Resin kits, which transfer over to the model - I was SHOCKED to start discovering my FW Titanicus Knights and Armigers all have bits of 3d print support that hadn't been properly cleaned and patched prior to making the Forge World Master Mold. They're really phoning in the quality on the FW parts, vs say Aeronautica which somehow get much higher quality casts. I've bought 1 of every forge world release for AT and AI, and the difference is stark.


Edit - well this is for sure a resin cast in the article. You can see the casting line screw up on bottom of the radiator of the neutron laser behind the top armor panel. And a 3d print line. Hope that's not the master...

Eh. My favorite look for the Warhound is still this one:

It’s weird. I don’t love it, but I’m sure it’ll grow on me. Resin is a shame.

OMG that looks bloody awful!

Now that would be bringing back sexy!

There's good 3d prints available in that iteration (updated looks) if you're really that keen.

Yep, it's the old Kenner\Palitoy AT-ST legs, with part of a Zoid stuck on top. I remember it from WD back in the day.

I do like the Dire Wolf, a bit odd looking, but I like my Titans a bit odd looking, shame it's FW rather than plastic, don't mind working with resin but generally find that vehicles in particular work better in plastic.

Wonder if we'll see this one in 28mm scale, the old Warhound is starting to show its age a bit.

100% AGREED!
