I just want them to round out the card terminals for every unit that hasn't had one yet, warmasters/direwolf and the fw knights. Also cards, they need to re-release the weapons cards with volkite ect. Would be a shame to have to wait for a new edition to see any of these things. It's also why I'm not quite with the wanting more xenos/factions because having another faction missing terminals and weapons cards doesn't sound ideal.
While the first half of the book might be of limited use to anyone who doesn't run (or play in) tournaments, the second half - especially the rules resources - seem quite valuable.

It's missing weapons, all of the new ones released this week, and some volkite (warlord) and worse doesn't show any weapons cards to photograph and print for ourselves like in past books, not that much of a resource for those with the engine war cards really.

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

Somewhat selfishly, I hope they aren't a blast weapon so I can target locations with them. As of now, that's the niche I see them fitting into with my Audax -- something with more punch than TLs but able to target unlike PBGs.
Concussive could be useful against Knights, of course.

I expected something like this from the Warmaster's Krius Grav Impolder, but was badly disappointed... but it would be funny!

We know from the article that the destructor is 38" S9 Rending Concussive and the ruinator is 45" S10 Rending Concussive. So it's really the hit modifiers, dice value and maybe additional weapon traits that are in question.
The grav weapons seem like decent options for long range disruption sniping. The smaller ones don't cause Warhounds to overheat and the Warlord sized isn't terribly expensive for two shots. Ruinator + Mori + Apoc Warlord is cheap and cheerful around 450 points and can occasionally get some good hits in from afar while making the enemy titans spin.
More Concussive for Knights to worry about as well.
Yeah, a solid option for warhounds; not too fancy, not too risky, not too expensive, just decent damage potential. Just solid all around. Only drawback is the lack of fire rate.

The rules are good, I feel like I want the ruinator more for cheap long range warlord, dual ruinator and missiles. Bit more expensive than quake but can to targeted attacks. Could be decent on the warhound, I like it more on the reaver. The models tho don't do much for me, likely go third party for them.

The epic stuff should be stopped too. It’s equally as annoying.
Is it worth starting a new AT thread? This one is nearly 400 pages, has the annoying blank new page bug and at least we can establish the rules regarding Epic and third party stuff from the get-go.

It would be nice to see these in 28mm, but GW still hasn't even gotten the reaver or warlord carapace options in 28, much less these new volkite or graviton. And it would be nice if some were designed for the warbringer carapace or warmaster shoulders.

If it turns out to be Epic I've a feeling it would be "30K" era to pair with AT which means mirror-match Imperial models only.
Which is "ok".
Don't get me wrong the Imperial army along with Space Marines have some fantastic models and there's a huge wealth since armies like the Ad-Mech are a thing now and thus we could expect to see some really amazing titanic and larger vehicle models for them if they appeared and such.
BUT - its kind of really dull for anyone who wants to play Chaos forces with demons and chaos Warp elements or anyone who wants the various Xenos forces
GW could throw out a massive curveball though and go "yep here's Epic with Xenos and Chaos and Titans and tanks" and that would be mindblowingly awesome.
AT could really benefit from adding the Rapier scout and shifting more things to plastic- say a new weapons sprue for the warlord and reaver, combined with a chaos armor plate sprue for each. Belicosa and 2 miossing guns in plastic for a warbringer sprue. Upgrade sprue with some of the new Warhound weapons.
Epic would be disappointing, since it would mean the Titans are simplified down and pushed to the side rules wise.

They didn't do this with Aeronautica, though. It's set in 40k despite Titanicus releasing first and being popular.
