Seems that the FW Reaver Titan is finally done, and will be available for pre order shortly. Can´t wait to see more of this beastie!

I just wish they'd announce the release date of IA6 so I can work out what I'm going to get.

The Reaver is interesting though... but FW have become like their parent company - sneek peeks and nothing solid.

BYE

Yup, waiting for IA6 myself...

Hmmm... new Eldar Super-Heavy tank. I hope that's the Cobra done-up like the current Scorp. The Scorp is a dead-sexy tank, and a Cobra done on the same chassis would be fantastic.

And some other 'new' Super-Heavies. Hmm... IA5 already made me go out and get 3 Macharius'... I can't imagine what they'll do to me next!!!

Is there any actual newsletter though, or just the image?

man!

nice painting on the bottom.

There could be a newsletter...

Come on Lottery Win!

I'm taking my camera this year, so I'll have all the photo's of new models, rumours and gossip from the Open Day at Forgeworld on Sunday.

P.S. How do I change the Yank flag on my profile, to a Union Jack ?

Thesecretsquig,

Please ask about what plans forgeworld might have for orks.

About time! Looks like Forge World listened to the fans. The shape of the toes are different than those seen on the WIP model, and the leg appears to be positioned at more of an angle. A less drastic departure from the old Epic model maybe? Can't wait to see if they changed torso at all.

This foot looks different to the one on the prototype that was doing the rounds.

Huh, so I'm not the only one that noticed that. Reassuring.

I hope they haven't gone for the hideous John-Wayne pose of the original Epic and Armorcast versions.

I almost hate to say it but I'm kinda considering buying one.. waiting for final pics to be sure.. and it would be my ultimate modeling project.. but I just kind of worry the time it would take to build and paint would end up being way too much and I would really just never finish it. At best lately I only get 1 or 2 nights of free time to work on models or play video games or whatever.. I'd hate to spend all that cash for something that ends up collecting dust. I think I would be afraid to transport and use it in any game no matter how big too, it would sit in a glass cabinet forever more. Not necessarily a bad thing but when I invite the ladies back to my pad I dunno if I want em to be like "why do you have a big robot over there..?", then I'll say "I built and painted it myself!" and they'll be like "OK, see ya"

That looks to be more like the size of a warlord titan foot. That foot is definitely bigger than my Armorcast reavers foot.

Thesecretsquig,

Even though i am an Ork player myself, I would still really like them to produce something for the Necrons. The Pylon was nice, but a few more items would be nice.

It is different:

You may be disappointed. Notice how the updated structure of the inner "toe" is shorter, requiring the leg to be positioned at an angle.

I don't know, I think the titan will be pretty solid. HA HA HA!! HA HA!! Get it? SOLID? HA HA HA!! Damn I'm funny.

And I agree with you about IA6- that will be my first 2pt codex.

I like the proto-type foot better.

I thought the dinosaur feet of the prototype, while more functional looking, were too much of a visual departure from the traditional Reaver design. This more graceful design kind of blends the two and also has elements of the old Jes Goodwin sketches.

Actually I think the later design is more functional - it's the same sort of load-bearing used in the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty. I just happen to like the chunkier look better.

I'm liking the newer version too.

If they had of released this 4 months ago when I had the money to buy it, I would have, now I'll just have to dream, and admire the ones you guys are buying.

The only problem with their Reaver is that it's not really tall enough. It's only slightly taller than the Warhound. Reavers are supposed to be big.

i do like the new "toes" on the reaver , cant help thinking though ,they just glued the original ones (picture with grey resin) on the wrong way round?

Hope the eldar tank is the cobra ! i suppose it has to be really, unless they have actually invented something totally new ?

kitsandbits: Good eye. It'd be interesting if you could construct it either way.

I think you're right. I think it was the overall stance of the prototype that struck me as more functional.

I'm sure they're completely different sculpts. While the backs of both are straight, the fronts are different: the new ones have a concave curve to them while the old ones had a very slight convex curve on the front. And if you look at the profiles, the old ones look more like a pie wedge than the new ones. The new ones appear to be longer as well.

Yeah, I like the new feet better as well. They just look like they would support the weight better to me. The head (in the newsletter) looks cool, too.

Definitely looking forward to seeing this. Any word on the price?

I just about creamed myself when I first saw that for the first time. Sexiest damn foot I ever done saw!

I will absolutely bust a gut laughing if the foot is the ONLY part of the titan that's going to be pre-released.
