2 Big Errors To Watch Out For On New Psi-Warlord Titan

titanicus wal warlord psi titanWatch out Titanicus players, not only is the Warlord Sinister Psi-Titan purely killy in-game, it’s also got two errors printed on its wargear!

Sprues & Brews  laid out their copy of the new Psi-Titan recently, and we noticed to errors printed on it’s wargear cards.  Take a look at this!

The Forge World Psi-Titan Warlord Unboxed & More!

titanicus psi titan unbox 4Breaking down the Sinistramanus Tenebrae, it’s got a short range of 30″ and a long of 120″. At S10 with 3 dice with Psi and Taxing, it’s slightly weaker than the Bellicosa volcano cannon. On the flipside, you have double the overall reach on the weapon making it a potentially great backfield unit that you might want to arm with Apocalypse Missile launchers.

Psi ignores void shields and being a beam weapon it’s going to be able to call shot exactly where it needs to do the damage every time. With three dice, one of those is bound to hit home potentially delivering the killing blow. Plus if you knock out a titan from this weapon, the beam keeps going on to hit another target along its path until it finally degrades.

Two Errors to Be Aware Off:

GW’s editors were either at lunch when these wargear cards were printed or there is an errata on the way for the Warlord Titan.

Looking at the wargear cards from the earlier Warlord kit release as well as the Psi-Titan release, it looks like there might be a misprint on the Paired Laser Blasters and the Apocalypse Missiles.

The Laser Blasters are all essentially the same except for one crucial feature. At long range with the earlier Warlord, you’re -1 to hit. However, at long range with the Psi-Titan release card, you’re +1 to hit.

So not only do you get +1 to hit, but you’re also able to do it at a much farther distance. This clearly looks to be a misprint so just keep that in mind before you jump into your next game!

Plus look close at the Apocalypse Missiles from this kit, they are listed here as 5 shots whereas on every other Warlord they are 10 shots. The Reaver Apocalpypse missiles, however, are 5 shots so perhaps this was a copypasta error?

Great looking kit overall, but watch out for what looks to be two big typos for the weapons princeps!

With the new Psi-Titan looked at a bit closer, what are your thoughts on the model? Is this your new favorite model for Titanicus? How do you have yours equipped?
