Sup guys,
So, Adeptus Titanicus... anyone buying into this? I have to say that initially I didn't think I would but then, well, Titans. So yah, I'm in. I picked up a Grand Master copy from the Dojo yesterday.
So just curious if anyone else is getting into this.
-Dave

I was going to, but this summer has just been way too many releases for me, and I just don't have time for yet another game on top of AoS, 40k, Kill Team, and A Song of Ice and Fire. The minis look amazing though, if it expands into other factions at some point I just might have to dive in, but I'll likely be getting a faction piece meal rather than getting the grandmaster.

Totally get that. Actually, I was thinking the same thing, but then that plan fell apart. Anyway, I from what I heard, AT has a 3 month release window with the Warhound coming out in October and the Reaver coming out shortly there after. Personally, I'm also hoping for some kind of supplement which provides additional rules for other factions (Legios). But definitely, I think there's a lot on the horizon with additional Titans, Factions, weapon options/weapon packs, etc. |

I've had the opportunity to speak with James Hewitt at length about the game (he was the chief game designer behind the rules and overall direction of the game before he left GW last year), and he's extremely excited by its future. He calls it the tightest rule set he's ever been a part of, and the best rule set GW has at their disposal, so that's exciting as well.
I just hope the game takes off in popularity to encourage the same kind of support we have seen for necromunda and blood bowl from GW and FW. If it flounders due to the high cost of the grand master edition, I worry about what it has in store. I don't want to buy into the grand master set only to have the game fizzle out and the level of play-ability stagnate - already had that happen with 40k Conquest the card game, and it was a bummer.

Very interesting! Well, I can say from what I've read so far of the rules, I could see where he's coming from. The rules are extremely interesting and there seems to be significant layers to strategy within the game. So, I'm right there with you in that I hope this game gets its legs underneath it and doesn't fizzle. I think the price point is surprising, certainly, but then again it is a lower model count game. So, perhaps it will all even out. We'll see, I guess. |

I have a mantiple almost ready to play. The guys that introduced me to wargaming had me over to play BFG and Epic 40k one day in middle school and ruined my wallet forevermore. The gargants and warlords were the coolest things I'd ever seen. I'm really excited to play.

The gargants and warlords were the coolest things I'd ever seen. I'm really excited to play. Cool! I'm excited to hear of some additional interest in this. I too am really stoked about this game. Unfortunately, I've only got one game in so far, and it was kind of a learning game. Further, 2x warlords and 6x imperial knights was a fun experience, but not the TOTAL experience. So, I'm working on getting some more titans at least built so I can flesh out the game experience a bit. (I've got 2x reivers and 2x warhounds on the sprue, waiting to be assembled.) Anyway, we'll definitely have to get a game in! |

I bought into Titanicus but I am regretting it since no one seems to be playing and with the recent announcement and the FB blow-back there seems to be no stand alone upgrade sprues being planned.

You bought into it?! That's great! Well, we'll definitely have to get a game going. (If you have your stuff in a playable spot.) And yes, I hear you that it does seem pretty sparse the number of folks who have bought in around our area, but they aren't non-existent. And I think more and more players will crop up as things progress. And as for the FW announcement... I saw that too and I am also bummed that the weapons upgrades are not being released separately. But, I also think that this is just an initial release and my gut feeling is that GW/FW will release separate upgrade packs in the future, they just haven't announced them yet. So, while it sucks that we have to maintain a wait-and-see attitude, I think it's too early to conclude that the weapon packs will NEVER come out. I guess, let's see. And in the mean time, we have to get a game going! |

Ask and ye shall receive! Per the community page: www.warhammer-community.com/2018/11/13/guns-for-your-god-machines/The new weapon sprue for the Warlord Titan will be made available separately "early in the new year." As well as the weapon sprue for the new reaver titan that is also coming out! So, regardless of whether they GW is capitulating to the masses or whether this was planned all along... separate weapons packs are coming! Exciting stuff! |
