– Wide range of Titans, Knights, Terrain and Modular buildings

– New rules, inspired by the classic 1988 game

– coming soon(ish), no set date.

Little Plastic Soldiers and Dakka had the scoop on Titanicus and a rumored release of later this year!

According to J Martin who talked with Andy Hoare the game is done, and will be released this year:

The book is done, the minis are done. Titanicus is going to print next week and will be out this year
They are going to do a big release with boxed game plus extras. They pushed the schedule back a bit to flesh it out more
They have learned from BB that people are lapping Specialist Games up, so are going to get more budget for it.

But now we’re hearing from Miniwars who compiled a bunch of rumors from different sites. Let’s take a look at the latest and greatest. Don’t forget to add salt.

needs more salt

In Forge World Open Day Andy Hoare , Chris Drew , Luke Blick , and Tony Cottrell did not talk about Adeptus Titanicus either . The game is still under development because it has been taking shape and has grown significantly, so they decided to release it later. The rumors about the success of Shadow War Armageddon did not cause Necromunda to advance its exit, was already something that had planned for this Christmas or before (November we go).
The game will include the three classes of main Titans, the Warlord , the Reaver and the smaller, Titans explorer  Warhound . On the Titans class Emperor  nothing is known. As already said the game would include Imperial Knights , and on these said they would be the size of a Marine in Cataphractii servoarm. They also commented that ” a Marine would measure about 8mm”(approximately the size of the head of a mini in 28mm heroic scale). Does this mean that in Adeptus Titanicus there will be Marines? They do not make it clear whether the comment admitted that there would be line troops in the game or was simply a clarification to give us an idea of ​​the scale.
Miniwars also posted some pictures of the art from Adeptus Titanicus.

 The new work in progress art looks amazing and we can’t wait for the release of Adeptus Titanicus. It appears that the reason the release date has been pushed back is due to how much the game has grown. No matter what, hopefully we’ll be getting an update from Games Workshop in the near future to confirm or deny some of these rumors.
What do you think about the latest rumors on Adeptus Titanicus? Are you looking forward to the release? Or do you feel it’s being drawn out way to long? Let us know in the comments below.
