Thanks guys, great video! Hope to see a Let’s Play soon.
Ordered mine this morning, looking forward to this. GW said on their community site that the weapon mounts would be standard magnet size did you see that when building it?
It says 5x1mm on the community site. On the sprues it looks like they are “dented” in but would like to know as well from someone who has built one.
Not one for me, but I can see the appeal, and it’s good to see GW taking a completely different approach to game design.
I do wonder about the sheer number of games GW has out competing with each other for the attention of their existing player base, and it feels like a gamble as to which of them will gain enough traction to continue to be supported.
I believe this is in their ‘specialist’ range, which is more like their testing ground for ‘experimental’ stuff as opposed to serious main line content.
As such it is supposed to be a gamble that may or may not succeed in rebooting the Titanicus franchise.
We more or less saw the same thing with Shadowwar Armageddon … which more or less evolved into the Killteam reboot we have now.
This was the main reason Games Workshop killed Specialist Games back in the days. They were afraid that it “stole” players from their bigger games. Thing is though… Specialist Games allowed us to remain within the GW universe, no matter what we wanted. Don’t fill like taking a full army to the club tonight? Just play Necromunda then. Want to do something different? Play Man o’ War or Battlefleet Gothic. Want to play with titans and super heavies? Let’s have a game of Epic then… So no matter what we wanted to play, there was a Games Workshop game for… Read more »
lol who forgot to put their phone on silent
John, what primer did you use for this? And what would you recommend the most?
I’m tired of the Stynylrez primer caking my airbrush cup before I am finished priming. Lol.
A great looking kit and the first thing I have bought from GW in a long time – Grand Master pre-ordered. I want to see maniple boxes and plastic weapons sprues to get the full range of weapons I employed in the original game
Have they brought back the old order dice?
The Titans are looking fantastic for the size of them and the games sounding Brilliant with all the internal doctoring to keep everything running, I can see GW bring the machine spirit in for landraiders to have them steaming off a Across the battlefield like a disguntilled World Eater.
Very nice! But not £175.00 nice for me. The Knights separately are three for £40.00 which sounds much better. So I’ll happily get some to paint ?
It’s tough … at first the listed price of almost 200 Euros makes me say ‘nope’.
But then I looked at the cost of contents … and it suddenly started to look better.
The two titans (70 Euro each) + rules (40 Euro) alone are about the same as the grand master set.
And then you’d have to buy two boxes of knights (20 Euro per box of 3) + one of the terrain sets (I’m guessing the 80 Euro variant).
It is a lot of money though, but who needs food ? right ? 😉
Ordered mine first thing this morning
Will be painting them up as Gryphonicus to match my 28mm titans
This is looking really good. It seems that GW might be sales from one end of their hobby to another. But it could also, having all these different ways to play, be bringing in new players that are not interested in the main games. Should be fun to see where they take this.
Sold out on their website already
the chance to get a 28mm scale Warlord prize probably won’t have helped.
Good video guys, thanks.
I loved this game in 1990, sure it was a smaller scale and not as detailed but this video helped me make up my mind.
Made up my mind that I was spot on that the $306 price tag is ridiculously over priced! Probably just my personal thoughts on the thing and I am probably alone but I feel their prices have really gone awry lately.
Really too bad because I was looking forward to this, I really was.
Nope, due to two things, cost and cost because I have no idea how the game plays and replay value using just a couple of models. A lot of money spent on a game you might only want to play twice.
After watching a playthough which amounts to a dice rolling competition, and that you do not get any weapon options, I’m glad they have sold out and I missed my chance to purchase.
“Do not get any weapon options”
Not sure where you got that from but couldn’t be more wrong! The minis have been designed with magnet holes built in so you can magnetise the large array of weaponry 😀
I think maybe what @hithero meant was the weapon options don’t come in the original kits you will have to buy them separately later
If so that’s fair enough, that wasn’t clear on his part, but the designers have specifically though about interchangeability with these kits
Having seen this, I stand firm on my opinion of this game: it’s not for me. Plenty of cards, counters, and dice, but very little else. Typically Games Workshop, really… It’s all bling with no depth. Just roll a lot of dice and hope the RNG-Gods are with you…
The question remains then, is it worth getting it, just for the Titans? I’m not sure… Had they been designed as true-scale 6mm titans I’d be all over it, but at 8mm they seem slightly oversized for a game of Epic.
I also wonder about the scale and it’s really a pity it’s not 6mm. I think GW just wants to make it incompatible with the old Epic models.
A pity indeed.
Going by what I’ve seen, the Warlord stands approximately at 4,5″ to the top of the carapace (discounting the odd bulges on top pf it). Converting that to 6mm scale, that would put it around 35 meters, give or take a bit, tall. That is within the given height-range of a Warlord class battle titan, but it’s still big… Probably a bit too big to easily fit in with the old Epic models.
But then again, scale in the old Epic was very much a fluid thing, with many vehicles being seriously under-scaled.
It’s a lot of money but for the GM edition I think it’s ok for what you get. Only the buildings sets and Warlord look greatly overpriced for me. The is the first item I bought GW figures in years and I’m expecting a lot from the game. And I do really hope if AT is succesful enough this will be a new start for Epic. 40k needs a game on a smaller scale for really large battles.
32 minutes in when Justin says “you’re gonna feel like a Princess” – yeah I really misheard that!
On topic, really glad I ordered the rules box and a warlord. With magnets, can see myself running a small Titan legion before the year is out
Ive never minded the 40k aesthetics much. Except now. They just look so damn stupid to me, when placed on giant mechs. I just hate how all of them look, period.
And at 110 dollars a warlord, just aint going to buy that.
Hmm, pretty bummed that the Grand Master is sold out everywhere already.
It’s a lot of money, but you feel like you’re getting your money’s worth. Buying all of that stuff separately makes me say ‘no thanks’.
Did you decide to magnatise the weapons?
