More Warlord Previews From Forge World – Alas Poor Titan Yorick!
May 11, 2015 by brennon
I really want someone from Forge World to mirror that famous scene from Hamlet with this newest preview for the Warlord Titan which comes in the form of its massive head...
Yup that is the massive head of a Warlord Titan that has been on the painting table and is looking very spiffing indeed. It's a fantastic looking head that's for sure and I like that they've kept some of the Epic Titan look from the past but updated it a bit to fit in with the look of the Imperial Knights too.
It's My Big Brother!
This is what the Warlord Titans used to look like back in Epic. We've seen the legs and the weapons already which are very much in keeping with this look but seriously when you see how it trades off against the ruins on that base you can imagine how big this version is going to be.
I know that a few people have already decided that they're going to be scrimping and saving for one of these as it's not going to be cheap. We imagine that it's most probably going to be sold with the body, legs and head as one and then the arms will be separate.
Will you be getting one?

It might be easier to build than this guy’s project: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/blog/300245.page
Probably requires a new mortgage to get the FW version though.
…you said ‘massive head’!
It will be a nice collectors piece, but as a gaming model it is pointless (no pun intended).
Looks like the FW guys will be breaking the gold ‘Rub N Buff’ out again 🙂
The head looks like it’s at an early stage in the painting, great looking design though with nice synergies between the original AT styling and the newer Epic designs.
Only way I would even consider getting one of these would be through selling all my other FW stuff first to fund it. Just can’t justify this any other way. This might be the catalyst to forcing me to sell off the lead mountain.
That is a later iteration of the Epic Warlord Titan in the OP. From the look of Forgeworld head, it is leaning toward the more rounded look of the classic version of the Warlord Titan dating back to the days of the Space Marine game, while also adding a few desitgn cues reminiscient of the contemporary Imperial Knight kit with regard to they ‘eyes’ and elements of the faceplate. Since I personally prefer the classic Warlord, I think that is a good design choice, though I am afraid that my appreciation of the finished article will have to occur and… Read more »
I had a horde of those old plastic Warlords – something like this:

I suspect the new one will be a hybrid that has the best features of the old and some updates that look less blocky.
looks impressive.
Looking forward to seeing this in its entirety.
Hoping it will be on show at this weekends Warhammer World re opening.
Apparently, that’s where it will be unveiled!
Swish. Euromillions win on Friday night and I’m all set.
