Subject: Re:GW Adeptus Titanicus news and rumours - Dire Wolf Heavy Scout Titan pre order Friday
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.

Not that I believe the rumors, but what would the mods of a Discord server know? It seems to me that if they were in a position to know one way or the other, they probably wouldn't be allowed to say (not without losing any playtest access they might have, at the very least).
That said, this sounds like a repeat of a rumor from Faeit 212 from last November, with some extra BS sprinkled around. I do believe that Epic 30k will be an official box game within a couple of years; too bad for me that I'm not into Heresy stuff.

While I don't believe this particular rumour, I do think that GW have two realistic options to push forward with this scale:
1) Introduce Xenos titans into AT 2) Bring other imperial units into a new Epic scale game set in the Heresy, and sell the same models to both loyalist and traitor players. This also reinforces the market for Chaos knights & titans under AT rules.
Perhaps they'll do both eventually, but I think the latter is more likely to happen first as there's an existing pool of model designs to grab from.
That's why I'm skipping this year's HH relaunch in the vain hope that we see a reboot of Epic: Space Marine in the next few years.

I wouldn't write off AT just yet, but GW clearly can't/won't do everything at once.
That's it exactly, and let's not forget that AT got two BIG kits last year.
The Dire Wolf looks like another 'tide you over' release like the resin Knights, and it's a perfect candidate for that because it's a niche Titan. I'll get some real utility out of it as an Audax player, but odds are it'll come in at a price point where most players of conventional Legios would just rather have a Reaver.
As I've said, the game has had a pretty glacial release rate of Titan kits ever since launch. And everything other than the Iconoclast has seemed to sell really well. I don't know why the community has to go through these hand-wringing exercises every time we're in a lull. Soon after AT launched, the studio said they were planning 'tweener Titans and a Psi-Titan. And we got the Psi and two of the 'tweeners so far. We just need to be patient. Would be hard to believe that they haven't worked on the Rapier in particular, given how many times it's been name-dropped at this point.

Hopefully it's because AT's sprue allowance is now being pushed back for some kind of major update in 6-12 months time.
Necromunda saw a big slow down in plastic kits in 2021 compared to previous years, with most new models being in resin. Now there are new gangs, vehicles, and terrain appearing alongside the Ash Wastes relaunch and they'll probably be back to at least one new plastic kit every quarter. Blood Bowl had a similar process prior to it's new edition in late 2020.
I'm not sure what form an AT update will take, but with my business hat on I'd say that the best way to launch plastic Chaos titans would be as part of a boxed set like Ash Wastes. That's the easiest option to maximise sales for the first AT plastic model(s) only usable by traitor legion players rather than both sides.

I think this has the right ring of truth. After all, we've still got the Dominus Knights and the missing Moriax Weapons as further stop-gaps. Plus the odd weapon here or there. I wouldn't be surpirsed if the Neutron Laser doesn't make an appearance for a Reaver arm weapon or maybe the Saturnyne Lascutter for the Warlord. With the delayed Heresy and Necromunda releases this year, Titanicus is currently on a lull. I'm guessing that the Dire Wolf will actually be quite the seller, especially the Neutron Laser version.

AT isn't just in a lull, people are jumping ship. GW needs to communicate a roadmap. Just hearing official word that they have releases planned or the current iteration until the end of the year would be enough to stop the losses somewhat, but you also have the HH 2.0 release pulling on people's hobbie time. It's not surprising we're seeing a lull but a quarter year from preview to pre-order date is a pretty noticeable lull. It feels like it's soon to be over, that doesn't mean done mind you, just likely to see a new edition next year would be my guess after all the HH stuff has had time to settle. But I feel like 2022 is likely the end for this edition of AT, if we get anything else it will likely be one more book and maybe a titan or two in plastic if we're lucky. I like the idea of a re-launch box with chaos titans/knights but the problem is they don't really have am equiv for loyalist. The game is already skewed towards traitors given how corruptions work. The current balance is giving loyalist some broken stuff like vortex missiles and the psi titan, as much as I'd like to see chaos titans/knights, I'd much rather it be a series of upgrade kits than whole models, I would also want loyalists to get thrown a bone too in terms of bits/upgrades/bling.
But better communication would help, third party's are carrying the game, and they communicate regularly and don't need to use much fomo to sell their offerings.
Do you play 30k? It'd be a lot cooler if you did.

I really think GW will see the Heresy through...which means the missing 'tweener Titans and a campaign book(s) that covers the Siege. The Siege *could* take the form of an Ash Waste-style boxed set, but that feels more like an ending than a launch of a new phase...? Don't really see the sales/marketing legs there, but I could be wrong.
Personally I think a better AW-style set would be -- as with NM -- a new narrative and setting (Beast Arises?) with xenos Titans (likely Orks and Eldar). It'd be genuinely fresh and new in a way that Chaos Titans aren't, maybe rope in some 40K players who love their xenos, and provide a new setting they could milk for a while.
But I think that'd be a good while down the road. They plan this stuff -- especially the miniatures kits -- far in advance.
As much as I'd like to see other factions, eldar/orks/crons I don't trust their implementation.
We don't even have the gaming aids we need for a monofaction game model/terminal-wise. The upside of this is at least we all sortof suffer the same fate, ie 2 out 3 volkites being objectively bad pointswise. The good is we all suffer the same, its not like volkite is better for some legios. The downside is if they can't even get weapon releases right and quickly abandon doing further stand alone weapon releases and cede that to the third parties, what hope to other factions have? To dig up a dead horse, they still haven't rectified their miss step with the iconoclast(cynical weapon swap limits to try and force everyone to get 2 warmasters), which probably explains why my local store still has 4 of them, everyone found battlebling or got a printer I guess. They also haven't even offered up the sprue alone like with the warlord sprues. I welcome more factions if gw's going to get its act together and decide if they want the game to be modular or not.
Given the plastic necromunda bits packs and previewed plastic weapons kits for HH 2.0, giving us a bunch of resin for the last while then pretending a 190$ warmatser iconoclast was like some entirely new model because they made a single new sprue, where's the love? Third party's put out better more affordable armiger models with all the options, the resin asterius costs more than 2 pals tic warhounds, dire wolf likely to end up costing almost the same or more than a plastic warlord. Even if people loved that model, it's hard to expect large demand with so many better looking third party options having been available now for so long.
Also if we're talking silos of information, it sucks to have to wait till after its release to see the terminals.

I don't owe gw marketing speak or silver lining related proclamations, besides, no one even plays AT there and even if they did what would we have had to talk about for a quarter year on the gw release front? Especially for a model they won't be able to profit from being it's fw not GW (dire wolf) we could all sing songs of praise of its coming and it still wouldn't help the local scene really. Not to mention they (sore people) have to stare at 1000$ worth of iconoclasts because some hack that runs the game thought marketing speak would be enough to move a 200 dollar close combat titan in a game they've clearly never played once
I'll be right back to singing its praises if they release a few more plastic titans. Perhaps something not 200 dollars that could have been a sprue. Still hopeful that may happen but lulls are more manageable when we know how long they can be expected to last. 3-4 months radio silence between releases looks less than healthy, regardless of my complaints or praise.

I'm sure an even bigger titan would restore some good will, model wise it would be cool to see, game-wise, the warmasters about the limit and even then its awkward when both sides don't have one. Battebling seemingly is going to beat gw in the giant stompy robot department, the titan the previewed is like 14 inches tall.
Concerned if this isn't aux, was hearing the rundown of a test game where they put 3 of the lasers on hounds to see how they'd do and it kept a warmaster out for like 5/6 turns. Granted there could be other factors buffing shooting, but its easy to miss that its gets +1 already within 30 inches. So ya, 3 of them within short range on side or rear would be quite frustrating.
I think it may have been better to make it corridor arc, at least that way titans could potentially move out of the way once in a while. At least it will be taxing the dire wolf's reactor.

Let's not forget that a Warmaster is the perfect target for these guys: singular, expensive and thus less supported. An individual neutron laser isn't reliably shutting down anyone and likely costs more than a regular Hound, meaning that such spamming likely results in a very bad matchup against more balanced forces.
I wanted to buy into it a few months ago.had the money, printed some Titans, but couldn’t get the main set as it was out of stock at GW US for months. Local shops and distributors couldn’t get it either. Gave up. Saturday it came back in stock on the GW US page. Unfortunately, I’ve given up hope of GW being able to support multiple fronts, and them going into 30K means less attention to AT. It would be a great tie n, especially if they did epic alongside it, but nope.

It would be a great tie n, especially if they did epic alongside it, but nope.
Got a game of ASOIAF and arena Rex in and have a game of Bushido scheduled. I love the universe, hate GWmanagement of the game.
I'm seeing a lot of terrain go on sale in the AT buy and sell groups, gw's giving people cold feet with the crappy communication. Hope it's not over, but I can see it looking that way if they can't support it.

Do you play 30k? It'd be a lot cooler if you did.

Titanicus is going to remain very well supported. Looking at a lot of the art and trailer for 30k, titans were featured very heavily. Titanicus, of course, is also set in the age of 30k, where having huge maniples of titans still makes sense.
I think a new edition is on the horizon, and it's just a matter of time. GW's gotta spend a lot of time and effort getting the new 30k 2.0 off the ground. Then, I'm sure we'll see Titanicus make a comeback with some new starter sets and new plastic titans.

I strongly suspect GW plans to make a plastic Imperator class titan eventually and would not abandon the game before that happens, even if they are having annoying patches of little to no releases.
