Even if the titans were 25% larger to be the same size as a knight, they would look like poo poo as a knight because all the details would be the wrong size, or they would look like poo poo as a titan because the details would be knight sized.

It is pretty impressive that all AT needs is a weapon kit or two and it is already a full, good game. Like, I am excited about getting an expansion or two at some point, but the game is already good.

A knight is a knight and a warlord is a warlord, why would they sell a model to use as a proxy. A Warlord is not a knight. https://twitter.com/MobRulesJon/status/1028370752179986432

It's not really a proxy, it's a dual-use model you can use under two rule-sets. You allow the use in 40k to incent the AT rules. Their use as a 40k Knight is an incubator to promote future AT development.

You could make them float (which they should from all the sci-fi-author-grasp-of-scale values they've ever given) and motorise them to play on a boating lake.

Based on the suffocation rules in Rogue Trader it's possible that BFG uses ship-of-the-line rules because space in 40k is actually full of the Luminiferous Ether people used to think space was filled with rather than vacuum? I mean, Chambers/Thorpe/Johnson almost certainly didn't think/realize they were doing that (what they were doing was putting 40k ships into a Napoleonic naval game) but in terms of figuring out the physics of the 40k universe based on observed behavior it does fit. Kipling's term would be a "just-so story" I think?

Adeptus Titanicus is a representation of battles set in the same universe in 8mm. Having models be usable in both systems and scales needlessly confuses what the models are supposed to represent in the universe. It’s a bad idea.

they should put numbers on all the minitures so if you run out of dice you can just roll them instead also dice should come with slotta bases so you can use them as your army if you run out of minis

The big problem with AT is that it relies on fairly complex kits that pretty much have to be painted in sub-assemblies for a good result, along with a new scale of terrain that few will have and core models being drip-fed over the first couple of months. That means there's no real momentum going to get people playing the game. Despite quite a few people at my local club buying in on day 1 I've yet to see a single game arranged because everyone wants to finish painting their Warlords before assembling them, and many are working on other projects first. Compare it to Blood Bowl or Necromunda where you can have your full team assembled in one evening and play on a pre-made gameboard, there was a lot more activity from day 1. I think it can work with this slow burn start if GW have the right releases prepared to follow up. Say if they drop the Titandeath expansion around xmas with shiny new stuff like Cerastus Knights, Chaos titans or psi-titans. Then at the same time release a 'getting started' maniple boxed set of the core titans that gives a balanced starting force for under £100. Moose-Alini posted:Those are great. They look super sharp. Did you do paint before putting on armor? I hate doing that but don’t know if it’s too frustrating to paint it up all assembled. All my warlords are out together with piles of armor at their feet. Thanks. Yeah I learned from my Warlords and this time left as many of the armour parts as possible on the sprue, clipping them out when it was time to paint the metal trim. It's much easier than having a big pile of bits to organise.

drat that’s a much better idea! Leaving them on the sprue to paint, I’ll definitely do that on the rest.

I agree that AT will be a slow burn game. We'll start seeing events and incredibly painted forces on superb tables around Christmas.

Big change is that if you fall back on a turn you’ve got the initiative the guy you ran away from is flat footed now. He can’t just charge back into you. Also Necron’s Tesla now proccs on a natural 6 instead of a 6+, so all of those -1 to hit modifiers won’t dumpster the weapon anymore.

My shop is currently running the Kill Team campaign kit GW put out. I'm having fun, but I'm constantly surprised how many players think moving forward on the first turn against Harlequins is a good idea.

Is there any textual evidence behind the "Delaque are GSCs" fan theory or is it just 1d4channery? I guess that question is probably made somewhat harder since the GSC itself went into the long, sad period of semi-canonical neglect during most of the later half of the first Necromundian period.
