Anyone heard if the different Legions will get rules?

I hope not personally, I don't want 40k style 'paint them red for these rules, green for those rules'.

Those Warlords look like they are packing Volcano cannons in each arm, which are both long range and hard hitting.

Three posts above yours - shields are a flat save that diminishes as you take damage. Thing is, with only one shot each a volcano cannon isn’t going to do that much damage to bring your shields down unless you get way lucky. The answer would be to advance on them to bring your (much shorter ranged) shieldbane turbolasers to bear with their lots of shots at moderate strength and the draining rule so they could maybe lose their shields in one volley before you drop the Belicosa hammer on them…

Honestly I doubt that anyone will enforce such painting rules. I've heard of one or two tournaments that did for Sigmar - but honestly paint defining rules is totally silly and abusable; since if you use an official scheme you're locked into it but if you use a custom you can free choose - so everyone with a custom scheme would have an unfair bias in what they could potentially put on the table.
Plus most people don't even know the official schemes and even the heavily marketed Space Marines are only casually known (Blood Angles are red - Ultramarines blue - White Scars white etc...). Most players couldn't tell the official Blood Angles scheme from a modified "Its got lots of red paint in it" scheme.


I fully expect chapters to get special rule differences so that the game has some in-built faction variety. Otherwise the only variation is in unit choice and weapon selection; which could fast end up with a very simplistic (boring) meta game (because everyone would spam the same perfect choices). Having some faction variation will be good in the game; and almost essential as there won't be any other race factions present at launch.

I don't care if they have colour scheme-based rules or not. I am going to be painting mine white and purple anyways. Probably with some grey and red in there as well.

No Epic Expansion for me - no Money for GW

Great summary zedmeister, thanks!

Good thing then eh that 40k has no such painting rule?

I'm half expecting the next thing to be My Little Warhound Titan.

Devotion is magic?

Or Heresy is magic....



Though surely they'd be saving that for the Eldar pony titan, Brightlance is magic,

Most 40k relevant response with minimum gore:



With speculation that 40k Knights may be delayed until August, does it still seem likely that GW releases AT or that they push it back to September? Seems like there's a decent amount of overlap in their target demographic where they'd potentially be cannibalizing sales versus sharing a release window with AoS or Kill Team. Still just speculation as there's still time to see Knights in June, but it does make one wonder if there has been some snarl at GW and the Knights get pushed, who would win out?

I'd wager a whole beer on the Knight delays being paranoia and unfounded woe and that they'll be on preorder by mid June. More likely before.

Given that they only announced the release date for AT a week and a half ago I'd doubt we'd see any slippage at this point, though worth noting we don't know when in August, it could be the 25th with a two week pre-order for all we know!

Yeah often when GW give a date its for when pre orders go up, not when the product hits the shelves.

I think the Knight delay is down to some last minute shuffling of the AoS launch and Adeptus Titanicus being dropped in after it (bearing in mind it was meant to come out last year).

But Knights should be up for preorder this weekend or next, as the marketing train has already started rolling for them.

Well, no clutter in my Titan game = more money from me.

....awesome?

I mean, I'll be buying a LOT of Adeptus Titanicus stuff AND hoping that someday there's also a new EPIC too.

Also, I had a salad with some grilled chicken for lunch.

But if it’s not free range chicken then you shouldn’t like salad . No one should

P.s. I love you all, you keep my faith in humanity and Dakkadakka alive.

Amen, Brother Gorgon, Amen!

Friend of mine on FB was commenting on the Battle of Jutland just now... so that got me thinking...

Re-fight Jutland. With Titans.

... help.

"There seems to be something wrong with our bloody God Engines today"

So did they retcon the Ordo Sinister to be just the 25 Warlords instead of the 12 Imperator's or along with the Warlords?

Why would they make that sort of retcon? More Titans will be released beyond what's in the basic game and eventually FW may very well release an Imperator. If anything they'd expand the number of Titans available to each Ordo to encourage larger collections.

To be fair if this is a massive hit I fully expect Gw to make this into epic 2.0 as they work down. However I think it will do well but not massive sales.

...and around and around we go...

...again!

Are there gonna be different rules for traitors vs loyalists?

Probably? At least by the time they get around to selling the resin conversion bits to mutate your titans with. Plus it’s already been said that the different Legios will have different rules, eventually.

I'm looking forward to some named Titan's - could be some fun on the Traitor side, especially after some corrupting influence.

Horus Heresy book 7: Inferno mentions only 25 Warlord titans. Where is the mention of Imperators from?

Ordo sinister iirc showed up in the titan legions set books. They were a legion of just 12 imperators, designed to force and enforce compliance. Inferno seems to have merged the psy titans into the ordo with the 25 warlords.

I'm excited that we may finally get to see what a Psy-Titan looks like!

Only been waiting a few decades...

We already know; there's a picture of one in HH: Inferno. It looks exactly like a normal Warlord from the outside.

I'm betting it won't STAY looking like identical though.
