"Warhound Titans up for preorder next week" Topic

link

Looks like the Warhounds are going to be up for pre-order next week so they should be available by the 13th. Hopefully I'll be able to put on a full game of Adeptus Titanicus before Fall In.

I managed to get my third Warlord and third Reaver assembled yesterday at Barrage so I need to get them painted. After that I just need three Warhounds and I'm all set.

About frigging time…..

J/k, thnx. I'm starting off with 6. Should make for a fun hunting pack.

Cheers

It looks like they will be the most comprehensive set yet as far as weapon options go. With the Warlord you got a very disappointing single configuration. With the reaver you had a lot more options, especially if you bought two kits.

With three different weapons you could have weapon 1+2, 2+3, 1+3 or 1+1, 2+2, 3+3. There was still only one option for the carapace but still. That at least could be easily magnetized and replaced later.

The War hounds look like they come with four weapon options giving you almost everything they are capable of equipping.

As much as I'm looking forward to the Warhounds, and I know you are UK, I'm more looking forward to more weapon options for the Warlord and, to a lesser degree, the Reaver.

Also they are going to be $75 USD for two.

And two pairs of four weapons (plasma blast gun, turbo lasers, vulcan mega bolter, inferno cannon) so 8 weapons total. Also they will have four carapace options and 6 different greaves.

It sounds like there will be enough parts to either make them dedicated imperial or traitor BSRs.

I might actually have to start looking into Adeptus Titanicus now

I didn't like the starter set with the 2 warlords, id much rather have a couple of Reavers and a hand full of warhounds per side – and knights of course

I think they would have done better with a starter set with two reavers. Price could have been about 100 bucks less. It would have made it more affordable for s lot of people.

So When do we get new weapons sprues???

"I think they would have done better with a starter set with two reavers. Price could have been about 100 bucks less. It would have made it more affordable for s lot of people."

True, however the way they released the game allowed the GW E-Bay resellers the opportunity to buy up all the Grand Master editions to part out. This was significant as it allowed some E-Bayers the opportunity to pick up additional Warlords for $60 USD-$70 a piece, a much more affordable price for a Warlord in my opinion.

"So When do we get new weapons sprues???"

I'm eagerly awaiting this as well. I really hope they actually do plastic sprues instead of having Forgeworld make resin add on weapons as we have seen with Necromunda and the like, but I'm not holding my breath on that.

So, first you buy the models, then you have to buy a maniple pack for the control terminals, and then you still have to buy a pack of weapon cards?

The scale change for the Titans has made them vastly better in detail and in the ability magnetize them for multiple weapon configurations.

"So, first you buy the models, then you have to buy a maniple pack for the control terminals, and then you still have to buy a pack of weapon cards?"

If you buy the rules pack for $51 USD on E-Bay (with free shipping in most cases) It includes 2 command terminals for each of the titan classes and a pack of weapons cards which has weapons for all three titan classes. You can check out the exact weapons card contents by going to the GW site and looking at the Titanicus rule set box.

Andy Tea, I think most people would agree with you about Reavers. I know I would!

@Pictors, yeah they better come out with some (cheap) weapon sets soon. Hopefully for Warlords first. $75 USD is definitely more than I had anticipated for Warhounds, even for 2 of them. I was hoping for the $60 USD range. That will definitely limit me to ordering 4 minis (2 boxes) off the bat. I really look forward to building those though.

Now this is pure scuttlebutt but I read at one of the fan sites that we may see new Knights (4 types) before we see anything else new for the Titans.

And GW is still sticking to its mantra that it will build no tanks or infantry. I have seen some buildings in some GW demo games that aren't out yet so hopefully those will be coming.

Moonbeast: Thanks for clearing that up. I suppose you could just make photocopies if you have more titans. Still, if you're "officially" fielding more, the extra cost is going to add up.

Too true, and I'll be the last person to say the game isn't expensive. Still, do whatever makes you and your group happy, I wouldn't have a problem playing against someone with home made command terminals and cards.:)
