I would like Customizable other titans. Might even work as set in 40k for the other xenos factions. Biggest shot in dark are some Necron Titanicus Models. For a faction with a lot of robots they are lacking in the very bit giant stompy.

I don't want to jinx it, so I'm just going to guess that it'll be boring terrain.

Kharnifex posted:Any speculation on the titanicus news? I haven't heard anything about Titanicus - where was there news about it? At any rate, I'm pretty sure the game is going to stay rooted within the HH sphere, so I don't imagine there will be any xenos titans at any point in the near future. GW is going to run the HH well dry before sinking money into expansions where there is only one side that can buy the models. Right now, they have it made because they produce one kit and it can see double duty because it applies to both armies. I would put money on tanks being introduced in that scale well before Orks or Eldar show up. Hell, daemon/full on chaos titans should appear before xenos.

IMO, a city leveling war machine has no place on what is technically a skirmish game table, but whatever. GW said there are plenty of variants between Warhound and Warlord, so I expect we'll see a few more medium/medium-heavy designs come out. That being said, I don't imagine GW is going to leave money on the table by not producing an Imperator at some point, The 40K knight is of comparable size, so they're certainly capable of making it.

Emperor Class titans have been the subject of a few fan projects, and this is my favorite. I'd like to print one someday but that isn't feasible at at.

I mean if your warhammer themed big stompy robot battle game cant accommodate the biggest, stompiest, and most iconic robot in the setting I question why you made it in the first place. Say what you will about Battletech but they let you play with the Atlas and Timber Wolf.

That should work as long as you don't run extremely long wall sections or anything the size of those tiles. Remember that each terrain piece "resets" your offset!

Say what you will about Battletech but they let you play with the Atlas and Timber Wolf. Yeah, but the heaviest Battletech mech is equivalent to a big tank (Atlas is 100 imaginary tons, M1A2 is 75 tons) and the Atlas is like 12 meters tall, while the Imperator is supposed to be like 55 meters tall (or up twice as large, depending on where you read about it.) And the weapons of the Imperator are of the class of "kill a Warlord" or "vaporize an entire army" in one shot. Obviously, it's all pretend bullshit, but my argument is that having an Imperator on the table is like having a Deathstrike on a 40K table - it's an ICBM that you're firing across the street.

what I'm hearing here is the imperator would necessitate some kind of, large... or grandiose... game to support it

Did they add the hair in Photoshop afterwards, or is it just the angle?

Caryarid are not cherubs. They are like little lucky lepricauns that attach themselves to gangers.

They also like to follow around individuals who are fated for greatness, which might be a little tzeentch-ish but could also be superstition.

There is an illustration of a Caryatid in one of the older sourcebooks and this new model looks almost exactly like it, even down to the pose. [Edit: probably in Gangs of the Underhive] An extremely annoying piece of wargear, in game terms. It gives the ganger who 'possesses' it an incredibly solid invulnerable save, basically. I also find the lore behind it really funny. It is attracted to lucky individuals, so suddenly sometimes this weirdo demon baby turns up and just... hangs out around you? Does it talk? Do you become friends? In a place as rough-and-tumble as the Underhive, I'd have thought the presence of a caryatid near a ganger would be tantamount to an invitation for have-a-go challengers, just for the bragging rights.

[Edit: probably in Gangs of the Underhive] It is such a weird, zany piece of Rogue Trader era lore. TBH I prefer the slightly more tonally consistent later stuff, Caryatids seem like something which would not pass muster in the imperium of 40k. I may just be annoyed because one of our group players, reading the rules, immediately tried to get one and has done the same thing most times we played. He also really likes giving his gangs the maximum amount of chaos or genestealer familiars, which work similarly. Some of the most efficient upgrades in the game, they are, and one of the most irritating to play against since they nullify hits in a unique way that stacks with other protections.

Eh, I don't think the precognitive familiars are all that unfair. The "save" roll keys off will, which can vary from great (GSC) to crappy (Chaos Helots outside of the demogogue's bubble). Our group interpret it as triggering once per activation, including group activations, and only working once against rapid fire weapons, so every gang has counterplay against it. I have the most experience with Helots having played them all year (and did not double-stack them on all my champs, that part seems lame) and figure it's a bit of balance for having such lousy gear.
