Brand new Adeptus Titanicus rules are coming inside the newly announced Crucible of Retribution expansion book! Let’s take a look.
Adeptus Titanicus has been popping off lately and that means continued support by GW! The next big expansion for Titanicus is on the way, which means more rules and ways to play with your legions of knights.
The best part is that if you want to jump into this game, the Starter Set is still available, and a pretty good value.
Warhammer Community put out a short post detailing rules, lets dive right in.
Crucible of Retribution
This narrative expansion explores the war for the Belt of Iron, a vast region dominated by dozens of Forge Worlds, each of them sworn to the Emperor, the Warmaster, or their own independent interests.
The result seems to be a more open-ended story than before with more forces and settings included in this campaign book. The prospect for three factions fighting over objective in this area of the galaxy makes for interesting opportunities that you and a group of friends could make a campaign over.
This new trait is one of seven coming in the expansion when it releases. This one is simple but changes up the force lists construction. Something as simple as changing the requirements or model that you forge a list out of can have a huge impact. Even when you only swap one model out for a new option a whole suite of new options and scenarios reveal themselves once you start playing.
Two new maniples allow you to organise your Titans in diverse ways. For example, there’s a light maniple that features up to five Warhound Titans and supporting banners of Cerastus Knights-Acheron, making a swift and deadly force that can get up in the enemy’s face and deal a lot of damage with flame weapons.
The Urban Warzone rule is part of a new mission that makes use of a huge zone filled with smoke and fire due to constant conflict resulting in conditions that make it harder to land hits. The conditions also make it harder to vent plasma and Reactor levels advance by one extra hole during the end phase.
For even more ways to play, you can use the new Echoes of Glory rules. These give you loads of new missions to try – 15, in fact, set across three different types of world, each with their own special rules designed to reflect the environment they’re fought in.
All of these make for a more brutal warzone that is a little more punishing and volatile. Tactile decisions will matter more since the combat will be less effective.
