Horus Heresy Sneak Peeks & Adeptus Titanicus!
February 6, 2017 by brennon
The Horus Heresy Weekender showed off a lot of fantastic models and more for fans of Forge World to get stuck into. We've nabbed a few of the previews here below thanks to The Hairy Painter starting with some Legio Custodes.
Here we have a number of different characters for you to use when leading your golden warriors into battle. You'll have to forgive me for now having their names but they are looking fantastic and it's neat to see the Legio Custodes becoming more of a thing.
Supporting these characters in battle we saw some Legio Custodes who have forgone the melee weapons and their rather epic halberds in favour of regular ranged weapons.
Once again I'm loving the details on offer here and the helmet designs are fantastic. It would be fantastic to see them painted up to see whether or not the details still shine out when you've got colour on them.
It wasn't just Legio Custodes getting a look in however as we also saw the Space Wolves Contemptor Dreadnought...
...and these Occult Blades Terminators for those of you who love the Thousand Sons.
Plenty more was spoiled over the weekend for fans of the Horus Heresy and beyond but these were just a number of the key spots that we had to show off. Legio Custodes armies are going to look SO awesome once they start to get more warriors.
Adeptus Titanicus
James M. Hewitt and his team were also showing off a special game at the event. Folks got to watch them play out a game of Adeptus Titanicus using some of the big models in the Forge World and Games Workshop collection.
By all accounts, the game went down well and there was even a seminar which dropped some more information and talked about the history of this game.
It's neat to see diving into the process of how the game is coming along and hopefully, it won't be long until we actually get to play it on the tabletop!
Did you go to the Horus Heresy Weekender?

Looks like it’s time to dust of the old first gen plastic titans and see if I can get the god awful glossy paintjobs off them… I still have the styrofoam buildings somewhere too!
Will be interested to see how Adeptus Titanicus is received. The initial reports seem good. I hope it is a success, but this is mostly because James M Hewitt has entered my elite group of games people that I like and I want to do well …..personality based gaming ??? … I may need a therapist.
great looking new figures a titan battle they/someone should try the Mechanicium Mars battle including an imperial class titan.
There is a a big playing base for Epic. I do wonder about them moving the whole thing to 8mm if they continue with infantry and tanks etc . It will alienate probably their biggest market
Well considering its a market they abandoned years ago now, the damage was already done!
Ah but they are making nice and re-releasing a lot of games. I’d have thought Necromunda/Mordheim and Battlefleet Gothic get first dibs though.
Those Legio Custodes models are looking really good. That Space Wolves Contemptor Dreadnought and those Thousand Sons Sekhmet Terminators are also really good.
Gee, looking at the size of those Titanicus models, when will there be remote controlled walking versions with laser pointers as weapons?
You know this are 40K models nt the one for Adeptus Titanicus? And he first Custodes was a event exclusive, which is sad because i really like him. And a little bit more about AT: “ONTO THE GAME ITSELF. Mechanically i was not able to directly play the game but I paid as much attention as I could whilst taking photos, and I think I have a pretty good perception of it. Conceptually its clear as crystal (sans knights but its easy to imagine the game with them) Imagine titans as something of a giant battleship. Vehicle so vast they… Read more »
I do believe its not event exclusive just WHW exclusive. The people at the event got first dibs on it. If I remember correctly a WHW staff member tweeted that its available from them.
Ah good. Just when I thought that I had to start curbing my wargaming excesses I see this Titanicus insanity!
I salute these crazy people. Blood for the blood god!
Games Workshop/Forgeworld has now progressed to the stage that if I won the Lottery I could devote my entire working week to the hobby without exhausting my interest.
What is the point of work? We are definitely living in a computer simulation 🙁
8mm Titanicus 🙂
I’m really looking forward to Adeptus Titanicus! They also just released the first Psi-Titan info since the 90s.
New rules + FW miniatures = pure win
Overall some very nice previews. Both Thousand sons and Wolves seem to have gotten so nice characterful rules and minis. Custodes are great and Sister stuff looks interesting.
Will be interested in AT but will see how it rolls out. Personally glad they are stepping back from epic to a titan focus.
