Subject: [Adeptus Titanicus] Report on your AT Projects!
With so much time having passed, I'd say that even if it was an official model, it is probaby never going to be released.
There are some great 3rd party trains on the market now though if you're after one. I printed up the one from Grimdark terrain and it honestly looks 10 times better than the one in that article!

I was just looking at their stuff, how is the quality? The Gun walls look great too.

Grimdark Terrain Quality is awesome. The designs are great thematically, work well as building blocks for your designs,
AND! they print exceptionally well, since he test prints all of them prior to release and makes adjustments as needed.
Here a shot of some AT buildings made with GDT parts, since painted, but clearer like this (click to zoom):

That looks great, what kind of printer did you use to print the terrain?

Built some hawk wargames cityscape buildings. They're 10mm but seem to work pretty well for AT. Took some shots with the 4 main titan sizes for scale. There's still another 8 buildings but they're so big and tall I don't even see the point in using them for AT, The buildings are little glossy but the colours are nice.

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

Is anyone out there aware of anything I can use to string high-tension power cables with? I have some power polls that I want to use with my table terrain, but I'm not sure what the best options for the actual cables would be.

Your Necron Titan work shows great imagination and it is great to see Xenos titans vs. the Imperium.
I hope that GW gives us 'official' versions soon(ish), as I'd love to see Eldar Titans in particular, re-done to a fantastic modern re-imagining.
Thanks dude
I dunno, if I'm honest I trust them to make models but I don't trust them to implement xenos into AT too well. I don't trust GW to balance them,, but as an exercise in conversion and count as I'm all for it xenos forces. I could definitely see count as orks working with a mix of gargants (titans) and stompas as knights. Eldar I think it a bit tougher to implement, maybe with the new mutations or with custom legios someone could whip something up. As cool as the models are, my fear of them in game if it were GW is they'd all be flying around manga style and sorta make a mockery of the core game in terms of maneuvering and initiative.
Christopher Parry does some amazing eldar titans. He's posts them in a few of the AT/epic groups on facebook.

It's not for lack of wanting to see eldar titans on the board, it's just we couldn't trust gw not to mess up volkites or an entire new titan release. How they wouldn't mess up eldar seem impossible. Hell, even with AT, the joke is calling it knightanicus because its seems gw got a good game from a good designer then immediately moved away from its core concepts as soon as they possibly could. They'd totally f eldar up if they even attempted it.

True, I think most of the eldar model's he's done could be used in epic, I could be mistaken but I thought a lot of them had rules. I love the little jetbikes on the bases.

Gotta say, away from the News thread...really gutted about the Armigers not being plastic. I want to hope that they'll be £15, but FW is just silly on their prices.
Still, at least their 40K counterparts are incredibly good for their price, working out at £22.50 per armiger. I've got next week off and looking forward to finishing this chap and doing more on his sibling...
...and maybe use a proper camera and lighting, while I'm at it. Might consider a pair of Helverins if the AT Armigers are too expensive...or maybe even an even larger knight? Maybe a Dominus just to REALLY annoy other players? Mwhahahaha!
Ah dear...

I would do a corrupted titan if they actually had a proper plastic kit of some description.
Here's a thought; using Blackshield rules and Ork Aeronautica kits for a bit of kitbashing, one could probably do a nice Ork-themed Knight House. Looted Questoris and all that jazz.

Knight houses are no fun to play against sadly. I'm fine with a list with a lot of knight but without titans, so many parts of the game just sorta fall of. I feel like orks are do-able but gotta be big ass gargants/mega gargants that count as titans. Then just take whatever custom legio/mutations that work. Some of the khorn sounding cc oriented mutations could work well for orks, they're a bunch of hot heads anyway so it'd make sense they'd go running off lookin to punch stuff.

Had a game the other night. First time out for my original Warbringer as part of an Arcus maniple and my opponent brought his Warbringer out for the first time as well, part of a precept maniple. Bad case of new model syndrome for both of us! We used the Open Engine War cards and generated pitch black (can't shoot anyone outside of 12") and shattered world (randonly determined section of the board is annihilated along with any models in that section). Well, his Warbringer ended up chasing one of my Warhounds around for most of the game and on the last turn, finally, it got to shoot just two weapons at it and knocked a single shield off my Warhound. As for my Warbringer, well, on the first turn it used a Warhound spotter to annihilate three Cerastus Knights and then had the board he was standing in gets shattered so was removed from play. You can see him standing forlornly to the side of the table in one photo. Poor thing

The wabringer looks glorious, damn shame about the scenario. One of the things that's good about the cards is you can pull some of the crazier ones, wasn't a fan of the shattered world one, felt like affected the game too much. One of the ones I remember that was cool, I think the whole battlefield was like in low water so when you vented plasma it kicked up steam and made the titan -1 to hit but all its shooting was also -1 cuz it was like in a cloud of vapor.
