The Latest On Titanicus
What has more firepower than a Space Marine but is the same size as a Dreadknight?
BoLS is reporting the following:
- Adeptus Titanicus will return this year, before the 2016 holidays.
- The game will appear in a hardcover format.
- The rules will be based upon the original 1988 game’s ruleset.
- It is being modernized for enhanced playability and fun. Remember that the original had fairly complex rules and did not scale up well past a handful of titans.
- The game will initially focus on titans only.
And here’s the word straight from the source. Good Guy Recalcitrant Daze on the floor at Warhammer Fest back in May:
Adeptus Titanicus.
However talking to Andy Hoare, Mark Bedford and Chris Drew I can mention the following:
The game is set during the Horus Heresy in the spirit of the original Adeptus Titanicus.
It will begin with just Titans.
The scale will be 8mm – They decided on this scale after 3D printing a Marine, Dread, Leman Russ, Warlord and a Mastodon in three different scales. 8mm was deemed the best as you could see the details to the point of telling different armour marks apart but didn’t make the Titans too big.
8mm will make a Warlord around 6″ tall (that’s what it looked like why Andy Hoare put his hands apart, don’t blame me if the final model is smaller or larger…).
The models will be produced in resin by Forge World.
Typical force may be in the region of two Warlords, two Reavers and two-three Warhounds.
More Titan variants are possible.
Down the road infantry and tanks are to be introduced.
Other forces are also possible, this includes Xenos which can be introduced in a themed expansion, e.g. Adeptus Titanicus: Armageddon to bring in the Orks.
Currently the Titans are being 3D modelled by Chris Drew, the Warlord has been done as the 40k version was originally 3D modelled so it was a case of just scaling things down and getting it to work as a model which can be manufactured.We may, may, get to see something at the Forge World Open Day…(may, depending on Tony Cottrell)
Now that I think of it, remember this little guy from last year? Guess who was probably one of those mockups mentioned above for the game?
Adeptus Titanicus was a HUGE fan favorite back in the day, and now every year at Adepticon they run a 28mm scale version of the game as well. Interesting that the rules will be based off the original game, as Adepticon’s large scale version is as well.
That little guy? Don’t worry about that little guy…
