By they way the March white dwarf has a preview of adeptus titanicus listed in the contents but not in the magazine. My guess is that they pulled it when the game got delayed but forgot to change the contents. It makes me doubt whether we will see anything next month either.

From what I saw, the March issue mentioned Titanicus material in the "Next Month" section.

So April will be the proof in the pudding!

Curious to see if it is. It was post-poned but leadtimes are so that it might have preview anyway for post-poned production. Or the march issue got done before post-pone decision but april not so march has mention of preview that won't be there.

Would be funny to have preview of item that got delayed after all.

The European versions of white dwarf have neither the info on the contents page nor the hint about next month. Check out miniwars.eu, they have the pics there.

If a Warlord is £50 or under, I'm most definitely in. £60? Well, I could be persuaded. £70....hmmm...probably not?

This brings up an excellent point: what is the correct price point for an "average" titan?

A 40K Dreadnought is ~US$50, so I think that would be about right for a titan as well.

It'll really come down to whether these are resin or plastic. Rumors puts it at Thanatar size, which is a £75 ($92)... the most similarly sized plastic 40k model is a Dreadknight a $54 model. Even if it's resin FW is likely to do a bundle and that would likely get it sub-£70... if it's plastic it'd be easy.

As far as the correct price goes... I think it's more important to consider the "to play" cost... The "average" game was said to be 3 Warlords per player. I think 3 Warlords and a rulebook when purchased individually needs to be no more than $200, to attract enough players.

Price also depends how many of each unit they can expect to shift. Hence, characters are often disproportionately expensive - they need their own sprues/kit cutting/casting, and the potential market is inherently smaller than say, Imperial Guardsman.

Thanatar are highly points intensive, and come from Heavy Support. So like a character, that brings a limit to how many a player will actually need.

Titans? Well, we don't know yet, and I'm not sure we've even got enough info to make a good guestimation. If Warlords wind up like the Thanatar - only one or two really desirable by most players, then the price would likely be the same. But, if fielding three or four in a single force is generally feasible (beyond heavily themed forces), then the price could well be lower than we expect.

All we can do right now is sit and wait. Well. And froth. ALL THE FROTH!

Spoiler:

Ah, maybe they're waiting due to the delay. If that means plastic though, I'm sure we can all agree it's totally worth it

It'd be great to hear an updated timeline at some point, though!

Do we think this is in regard to AT?

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/03/03/adepticon-the-one-thing-you-dont-want-to-miss/

If you go to the preview event, you’ll not only get to handle a host of new miniatures, (some of which won’t be out for almost a year) you’ll get to play some games with them. And not just any game, a brand new game. On top of that, we’ve even commissioned some special dice for attendees to keep as a momento. And, that’s not even all. You’ll also get to see some new game mechanics we’ve got in mind for existing games and give us your thoughts.

It could be Titanicus...

As far as I know, that's the only "new game" coming out in the next few quarters.

...but even if it's not, I bet there will be Titanicus material in the slides!

Sadly, we've got to wait 3 weeks to find out!

I am registered for that preview event Wednesday at AdeptiCon! I was hoping to hear about Adeptus Titanicus, but had gotten worried they'd save things for later due to the delay, so this is fantastic news!

I'll be sure to keep you updated, Dakka

Hoping I can sneak in. Didn't even know it was a thing. If not, you are giving me a full report.

I was randomly updating my registration (adding a challenge coin, heh) and stumbled on it several weeks ago. I hadn't heard about it before, so not sure when it was added? It must have been announced somewhere, right?

It says there is still space available to sign up in-person, so hopefully you can add it at registration (that's what the article above suggests).

I'm slightly disappointed that there was no news of Titanicus at GAMA, <sigh> but I suppose they need to save some news for Adepticon.

Hopefully only 10 days or so till more news...

Less than that. Show and tell is on Wednesday night.

How do companies do that? I've never been to Adepticon that early. Do they get a special room for it or just go off the big stage?

There is an "event" you signed up for. There is apparently space to sign up in person still if you are going to be in that early.

The first is like an hour after registration opens (8pm) so you can apparently just show photo ID if you haven't picked up your badge yet. However, they're doing a second session at 10pm I think, so that one might be easier to sign up for in-person.

Also, print your agenda to bring with you, as they won't be printing them out this year!

The Studio event at Adepticon should be wrapping up about now...

All things considered, I think I've been remarkably patient. Anyone care to spill the beans?

I think you've got your time zones messed up?

Maybe?

No news at AdeptiCon, other than when I went up and asked and they said it's not coming this year. Bummer, but more time for plastics, so I'm looking on the bright side

NOOO!


Wait another year?! hope BFG will come before that then [sadface]

Yep, well at least they are taking their time to do it right. Plus my wallet has let out a sigh of relief, but i'm sure GW will fill the void with some other crazy releases like they have been doing the past year.

If they delay is to make everything in plastic, then I am happy to wait.

This game would have been a no go for a lot of people if the titans were all in resin at FW prices. This is good news, despite the delay.

Are you sufficiently confident in that info we can put it in the title?

At least it's something that GW are saying either way, and not leaving you standing there and wishing/hoping like little Timmy at Xmas, as would have been the case a few years ago.

As much as I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with an official line, anyone who loves small scale should probably look at this thread

There is such a thriving Epic community, the rules are available for free, there has never been a better 3rd party miniature range (arguably far superior to when we last had an 'official' range) - there is no reason to wait!

Just wish GW got it's act. I would like models that actually look like 40k counterparts. And in 6mm rather than 8mm that makes battles automatically smaller scale(in terms of models you will have).

https://thepaintingbunker.com/2015/12/19/epic-scale-salamanders-army-complete/

Oh how I wish I could buy models like THAT. Too bad GW doesn't sell those and doesnt' look like they will except 8mm titans :-/

Maybe write to them- they seem to be very receptive to the community now. Honestly I think thats what they'll do when they get back to Epic, and I'm sure they will looking at all the recent developments. I think GW's biggest problem will be resourcing everything they want to do and fitting it into their release schedule. The delay for Titanicus is a case in point and hopefully means they will be bring it out in plastic. Resin titans wouldn't have interested me at all. When I say resourcing it I'm talking about getting enough sculptors, game designers and time on the plastics machines to produce everything- because they are bring out loads it seems at the minute- i can barely keep up!

I am excited to see how this turns out. Did they say this would be Heresy era only?

That's been already confirmed before. Which does make sense in a way as that's when biggest titan vs titan battles appeared. Plus 30k is the big seller and higher tech level in HH would even allow inserting new titan weapons more easily.

While sad that Titanicus appears to have suffered more delays - especially since it's apparent that the rules are more or less complete - I'm interested in what the April White Dwarf will have to say about it.

Well they did allude to this happening back at the HH Weekender when they said this year was full and it was difficult finding a place to slot the release in. This is just the confirmation that they were indeed unable to find a slot.

The Titanicus material seems to have been pulled from April's White Dwarf, so it does look like this has been put on the back burner for a while...
