I have a gut feeling that Warhounds are in the launch box and Dire Wolves are being done in plastic because Warhound-class titans are the most likely ones to be seen unless you are playing an absolutely fuckhueg game and Reavers+ become legal/viable. Love to be proven wrong and I can have a Warlord or a Warmaster eat faces from the word go!

You’re almost certainly going to need infantry to hold objectives.

They've specifically mentioned combined arms, so straight running your AT maniple in Epic probably isn't an option. This might mean you only need to add knights and some flyers maybe, though.

Currently in a regular tournament game you can expect to be able to field up to and including a Warlord. IMO it is challenging to build a 3k list with a Warlord and hope to play consistently. I tend to always field a Reaver instead, they are a great compromise. If you didn't take a battle titan it would behove you to take at least a single warhound. S.J. posted:There is a zero percent chance of this being the case, sorry In the current edition you can field all titan lists. No one considers them OP, if anything they are super challenging to wield because of how few formations you have. It sounds like this might not be feasible in the upcoming edition, but that will depend heavily on how objectives are controlled and how lists are built.

Sure, but I can't imagine GW cares about that one bit. The current edition doesn't have a bunch of new plastic models GW is trying to sell. I imagine they're going to push the marines and their other new plastics pretty hard since it's the focus of the setting anyways. I'd love to be wrong!

Hard to say, Epic always gets treated slightly differently. They've also reassured current epic players that this edition isn't going to be a departure from what came before. I think they are aware that people really liked Epic, and wanted Epic back, not a new game in a similar scale. What I will say though is that the online Epic community will 100% create that list and balance it. I know unofficial lists aren't everyone's cup of tea, but that is what kept the game alive since Armageddon was discontinued. Furthermore, I imagine GW wants to roll all us grognards into the new edition, I would bet if people are making and playing titan legion lists GW is going to try to bring those into the fold, especially if it doesn't require any new models on their behalf.

GW described the full starter set of 2 Warhound Titans and the attendant infantry and tanks as quite a small army and that most armies would have over a hundred pieces in them. With that kind of scale being able to field a titan maniple as a significant chunk of your force seems possible.

So someone on Facebook is very convinced that GW is dropping a new 30k boxed set some time within the next two months with, specifically, 20 of the new Mark IIIs, a plastic Deredeo, a Land Raider Proteus, and a new HQ model. Being GW, it's inevitable that, on a long enough timeline, Heresy will eventually get some sort of new boxed set, but that's an awfully specific timeline and inventory for a random Facebook commenter to front surety about. Has there been some sort of supply chain leak?

There was a lot of commentary afterwards that this was a sign of a box set to come. Release date, though? Who knows. e: vvvvv that's right, forgot the road map.

I doubted it myself, but it was awfully specific to be random guess. It makes more sense as a random guess if the person making it is just assuming "Everything in this one piece of art must be coming out in a big boxed set," though.

I guess the Lancer isn't a technically Marine release and the box would be. Seems double weird that they'd put it out with epic and a new knight. That's a lot of unexpected competition for my Heresy dollars for one month.

Legions is supposed to be released in August, and won't have the time to internally justify dipping back into 28mm again, even for Mk3s and Proteus.

(If it does turn out this hypothetical boxed set has one, I'm going to be annoyed at myself for having bought one separately....)

quote:The Space Marine Legions are known for their favoured tactics and specialisms, and all 18 have their own special rule. Importantly, each Formation you select can be from a different Legion – after all, the biggest engagements saw multiple Legions fighting shoulder to shoulder – giving you extra tactical depth.* Normally, I'm not a fan of soup, but with having Formations - like chibi armies - from different Legions appeals to me from collecting standpoint. Maybe I'd be able to contain myself and have Formations from all the Legions? Unlikely, lol, but a man can dream.

Despite already having a mountain of unpainted plastic from 40k and AoS, I impulse bought myself the Age of Darkness box. Mostly because I was excited for Legions Imperialis I think and couldn't wait.

It has been pushed back to 'a little later in the year', which certainly is open to interpretation. Hey, now you have more time to paint the AoD box stuff!

 Not sure individually magnetizing all the Cataphractii components was wise. At least they're primed, though.
