Games Workshop just gave us an inside look at the new book Adeptus Titanicus. Come check out the latest pictures, and find out what they had to say.
First off we got some great preview pictures from Battle Bunnies on the new book:
We knew the Horus Heresy weekender was going to be a must see event. We’re closing out the weekend with a preview of Adeptus Titanicus, let’s take a look:

We had a chat with James Hewitt after the Adeptus Titanicus seminar this morning and got ahold of some cool images from the upcoming book.
James: While the game was clearly inspired by previous editions of Titanicus, as well as Epic, it’s very much it’s own new thing. We tried to make it so that it has lots of detail, but still plays quickly. The overall gist is that it puts you in the command throne of an individual Titan, so you are directing the action as shields and limbs take damage and crew succumb to the rigors of battle.
Adeptus Titanicus will be getting a Black Book release in 2017! Checkout the artwork that was just spotted last month at the Open Day
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
What has more firepower than a Space Marine but is the same size as a Dreadknight? TITANICUS!

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?
For the rest of the pictures head on over to our gallery page and check them out.
The Horus Heresy weekender is has come to a close and it truly has been an information packed weekend. What upcoming new releases are YOU excited for?
