I'm gonna guess that not one but two versions of the Warmaster Titan used up AT's allotment of new sprues and machine time for a while.

This game's release pace has always been on the glacial side. I don't know why people are panicking except interwebz interwebbing.

Warmaster took over a year of no new release, Warbringer estimately took about 6-9 months, they had to drag out the release of questoris upgrade and Knight Acheron to fill in the blank even though they were done for a very long time.

No they aren't, only GW releases are AT releases. Many of us aren't interested in your third party models and come here specifically for official news, thats wht this thread exists. Go take your third party discussion to another thread.

Instead of fighting over it and trying to "push people out". Why not make a news post for 3rd party AT releases and encourage and welcome people to use that thread?


The reason AT gets "more of it than 40K" is likely just because this is a 40K forum so there are a LOT more threads on the subject. So they get broken up.
Meanwhile AT is a niche game and niche subgroup that doesn't even have its own subsection of its own. So the number of discussion threads is fewer so they become more comprehensive. If you want more specific threads - help make them rather than trying to tell people to leave the discussion etc...

Please?

I personally can understand the hostility. When I pop into the thread looking for discussion on official AT news, half the time I just see someone's half-butt attempts at a third party STL or 3d model or somesuch.

Great for you if that's what you're into, but go start a new thread and put all your STL stuff there. I couldn't care less about 3rd party titanicus stuff. I care about the official release and what GW is actually doing with it.

Calling 3rd party anything 'GW product' is absolutely ignorant and laughable.

That said, I think we're going to see more coming for AT with the Horus Heresy stuff. The trailer featured a LOT of Titan action. Could we see 30k Epic coming at last? Or perhaps a closer tie-in between AT and 30k campaigns? Would be neat.

Ignorant and laughable, yes. Let's talk Epic again that's always cool.

At least the third party news is actual news, instead of the same people saying the same stuff to each other about a game that doesn't even exist, over and again in a tedious rhythm.

That metal armiger have a pilot and didn't have bent barrels like the "Authentic" GW one, 10/10.

Exactly that! I feel the hostile behaviour has become a bit of nasty gatekeeping.

Nobodies stopping you posting, just post it in the appropriate thread. I doubt you’d be too pleased if someone wanders into your thread promoting their own wares and products. It’s just downright rude

Fair enough! I get where you’re coming from with this. It kinda reminds me of the various AT themed FB groups. Kinda how Adeptus Titanicus Fans was a split from Adeptus Titanicus 2018.

Maybe we should start a new thread that allows for both GW and non GW content. With blackjack and hookers! Maybe forget the blackjack!

The ratio of complaint posts to third party posts, if it's not at massive irony levels it's not far off.

The 2018 facebook group was literally banning randomly banning people over 3rd printing for like 2 years but gave vanguard models a pass for some reason, I literally have to use an alt just to access it. It's gatekeeping personified.

That kit looks like it sold well too, such a great idea too.

Agreed. If someone wants to make a new thread good one them, how they imagine they won't be seeing double posting is beyond me though.

Standards. I don’t care whether it’s a multimillion pound corporation or a one man band. Keep companies releases to their own threads. Besides, it’s rude to everyone and that’s not even counting for the fact that it’s literally in the stickied post at the top. Besides, I’m sure Battlebling would be very appreciative of a separate thread anyway for the simple fact of highlighting they exist.

If we could take it to a topic of its own, that would be great folks, not every N&R topic needs to bob near the top of the page all day, every day.

Also, I'd very like it if we could stay polite to one another, the amount of alerts this topic is generating is on the wrong side of hilarious.

Dire Wolf is next week! (Sunday Preview – Witch-aelves, Spectral Hordes, and the Defence of The North)

Dire Wolf Heavy Scout Titan

Dire Wolf Heavy Scout Titans strike out ahead of a Legio’s lumbering Warlord and Reaver Titans, but can still pack a formidable punch with their carapace-mounted Volcano Cannons and Neutron Lasers. They present a deadly new challenge for your foe – and a valuable tool for your own titanic armies.

Still not sure how much I like it, but good that it’s finally here.

Its about time, but even for £25 I still wouldn't buy it.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I don't like it. If I want something like that, I'll kitbash a regular warhound.

Finally

Would have rather gotten a lucius warhound or something to that effect.

Anything but more Mars pattern stuff. I know they're the #1, but other forgeworlds should get some love.

All they have to do is release various armour kits. The armour pieces are on a separate sprue, and GW knows how (see new HH kits).

I just want the rules/terminal for mine, that I've had ready to go for a few months.

I think the main problem with them is they got "t-rex arms". Big body, big head, big legs, big weapon on the back, big shoulders, and then these small stubby arm weapons. I enjoy everything about them except that aspect of them, I feel like with some slight modifications they could have sold the look better.

I like it with this head more

Came across these rumors on facebook, from an unknown source on an unknown discord, poster claims to be an influencer that got preview access during the in-person WHFest events over the past few days. I'm inclined to think they are bs, but sharing it with the dakkarati for posterity just in case theres something to it.





My take - "3-5 years out from release" is a hedge for a made up rumor, its far enough out in the future that the probability of it becoming true is fairly realistic, so this dude with his made up rumor can pat himself on the back and score fake internet points for "leaking" an accurate rumor, etc. Its also highly unlikely that they are doing a playtest -especially a semi-public playtest with influencers - for something that far out from release. Its highly unlikely that they even have rules that well developed that far in advance of release. While it was somewhat the case with Adeptus Titanicus, that was only because at the last minute the decision was made to release the game in plastic instead of resin, which necessitated about 2 years of additional product development before the game could actually be released.

Talk about "expanding to Xenos" is self-hedging. If it happens, "see, told you so", if it doesn't "well it was just talk so I guess they didn't go forward with it". "Rules similar to 4th Ed Armageddon and Original BFG" is a reasonable guess, none of the specialist games have deviated that far off their original pedigree, so its reasonable to assume they will be an evolution of their original incarnations rather than a revolution in terms of game design, the more they deviate than "the more changes that had to be made as a result of playtesting for the past 3-5 years" - i.e. more hedging.

40k mechanicus to 30k is an interesting one. Haven't seen anything else to corroborate this, in general it feels unlikely given the general consensus that GW is doing its damnedest to separate the model ranges between 30k and 40k and minimize or eliminate crossover between the two. If they eliminated Casterferrum dreads and Indomitus Pattern Termie armor it doesn't make sense that they would bring 41st millennium era AdMech sculpts in. My guess is that the source here is making gak up and throwing gak at the wall to see what sticks and took a guess here without considering observable trends and implications with it. This rumor might serve as a canary in a coal mine for us - if it comes to pass then it doesn't necessarily mean the rest of the rumors are *real* but it does raise their likelihood.

Dunno what the other leaks are referring to (Traitor leaks, loyalist leaks, custodes mech and human leaks, knights leak), unless the sources name is OK_Entrepreneur or ClockworkChris, etc. the sources for many of those leaks are fairly well known. Likewise, given that all that gak was leaked weeks ago, etc. it sounds an awful lot like someone trying to take credit for reposting gak in order to legitimize themselves, etc.

But I'm a cynic and might be overthinking it.

It’s the legs for me, and the head. The legs look really awkward and it’s just stood dead straight and still. And for some reason the Warhound head looks goofy here.

Yea it's the super static leg pose for me too

I actually like the static legs on this, more than the conversions of just a giant gun on the back of a standard warhound. It's meant to get into position, brace, and fire, not scamper around the battle like a scout titan.
