Adeptus Titanicus up for pre-order - link
Won't spoil the surprise by giving away the price, but it's probably as well not to have your mouth full of water when you look at the page 

I looked at the price and expected the titans to be massive. The Warlord is only 6" big. Yes that is large but not for the price!

I’m not interested in the main game, but I’ve preordered to boxes of knights, can’t wait to get stuck in to those! Looks to me that they’ll be fine for 6mm, judging from comparison pics I’ve seen on Instagram. I can feel a gladiatorial knight project coming on - the equivalent of the old tourney on a knight world. I also might treat myself to a titan at some point for 6mm terrain - the plastic kit would make breaking it up into a ruined wreck much easier.

GW just lined up all the sharks in the world's vast oceans and not only jumped them but have overshot and can currently be seen orbiting the earth.

HAHAHA...is it April already?

This sad pricing..

But lets return to fun GW :

Sword make me want to platy Hobbit game <3 Lovely stuff..
(I still have One ring that was bonus on Fellowship sprue near mu painting station and play with it sometimes


And after reading Gang War 4 i am in love with bomb rats rule.
Its soo old school and cool. Most funny GW rule made in like 20 years

You can deploy bomb rats and if you pass Int test they will went 6 inches the way you want them to.. otherwise they will go at random..
If you are in 9 inches at the begining of the turn and pass int testthey will go the way you want, otherwise thjey will go random.
And you can deploy more.. each turn. You can have horde of random running critters that will explode near any model 

I was Cawdor skeptic but now I am building the rats

[blacksoilbill]

That's an awesome rule. There will be some very funny games!

So if a maniple consists of 3-5 titans then each player needs to spend at least £240!

• £175 for limited run Master Edition (till 2019)
• £65 for a 3rd titan

Hmm...no thanks GW, that game is too specialist for me.

[Ballardian]

 Loved the original Ad.Tit. so really want to like this one - good models but the size increase seems to apply to the price too I suppose when you consider the cost of your average 40K army £200 + doesn't seem so extreme - let's see what the discounters do with it - seen the Warlord for £52 as opposed to full GW whack, but I imagine you'll still need a couple, plus Reavers, Warhounds (& now Knights). 

[Lost Egg]

Yeah in an article on Warhammer Community they say a basic game starts with a maniple of 3-5 titans plus knights.

[AWu]

While Titans are cool I watched demo game on Yt and it looks kinda boring with tons of dice rolls with little consequences..
I wasnt planing to buy it because of financial reasons but now I dont have second thoughts.

It will stay Munda and BBB for me.

Genecult rules for Necromunda update and download.

Looking at the Cawdor sprue on the GW site, I'm kinda surprised. On the plus side, it looks waaaay less fiddly than those fuckin' van saars, but it also looks like there aren't as many options as you might expect. Only one heavy weapon, for example (it is the silly panzerfaust-bow).

Now Im still waiting for my box to turn up, but pretty sure there is a heavy stubber attached to one of the pole weapons?

[Vladimir Raukov]

At $55, I might consider picking up the box of small titans, for...reasons.

Wasn't sure if I should post this here or in its own thread, but Nordic Weasel Games have just published Renegade Scout, which claims

What is Renegade Scout? Other than 179 pages jammed full of gaming goodness?

*Renegade Scout is very old:

It is a “retro-clone” of the venerable Rogue Trader game rules many of us grew up on, offering mechanics that are familiar and well-loved to fight fantastical battles between brave heroes, terrible monsters and strange space aliens.

You can even grab your original figures right off the shelf and battle it out, using the conversion rules presented in the back.

*Renegade Scout is very new:

This isn’t a simple copy with a new lick of paint.

Everything has been updated and rewritten to play in a way that feels modern and elegant, removing the clumsy and awkward to keep the game moving and exciting.

*Renegade Scout is open to playing the game your way.

You can grab almost any figures you already own. We’ve included profiles for 15 alien species, several human troop types and monsters.

You can customize your own heroes and roll up random equipment and skills.

If you like how they do, you can level them up across multiple games, at least as long as you can keep them alive.

If you like to play campaigns, we include tools for two different approaches.

If you like vehicles or psychic powers, we got those.

An army builder? Off map artillery? Calling in evac choppers? A beefy section on how to solve everything from breaching doors to building things mid-battle?

We have all those.

Random tables? Strange terrain types? Space ghosts? Yes, yes and yes.

What if you have never written a scenario before? What if you want to be the GM? What if you don’t know how to paint a miniature? What if you want to play solo?

Included are advice sections for all of these situations and more.

It's on Wargames Vault for $19.99.

I still have plenty of Rogue Trader figures, so I may pick this up at some point. Again, apologies if this should have been in its own thread

[Cubs]

You can have a Space Ghost?
