Titan Knights so what else?

Posted on February 10, 2014 by Ben Jackson

I hope you will forgive the title of this post (and the picture) Don’t get me wrong if there are Titan Knights coming in March 2014, it’s a big deal. Given “the rat” says they are on the way, I’m inclined to believe they are. I also think Games Workshop are mad not to have release these about 4 years ago. Given they can be used in Imperial and Chaos armies, and as allies and in Apocalypse. If they look as good as the Eldar Wraith Knight, they are going to sell like hot coffee. If they look anything like The Lord of Skulls they will sell like Dreadfleet.
But back to the title so what else is going to be released in March? Am I the only person who thinks one plastic Knight kit even if it is going to cost as much as the other super heavies is a bit thin for a release window? In the Apocalypse release window we had 2 super heavy kits, 4 Space Marine Captains and a table’s worth of fortifications. I can’t help but wonder what else they have in store for us this time. Could there be another uber hyper heavy on the way? If so what army is it for? The only armies that don’t have a really big plastic kit are, Space Marines (but they can use the Knight) Sisters of Battle or what ever their name is (ditto), Tau (rip tide is not far of this size), Tyranids (didn’t someone say a new big bug would be released?) and Dark Eldar (a Dark Knight could be cool). Of the above I would think the Tyranids stand the best chance, I’d love to see a small plastic Bio Titan or Norn Queen. However I think a separate Chaos knight kit which uses an alternative sprue to maximise for the Chaos components would maximise the return on GWs design investment and is therefore even more likely (darn it Chaos why do you sell so well).
If GW do put out some more terrain might we finally see battle fields not covered in Imperial eagles and skulls. I get a few visitors to Chaptermasters each month looking for Eldar terrain.

So is March the month of the Titan Knight or the month of Titan Knights? Given the tightening of GW leaks I guess it will be at least two more weeks before we find out.

Some might say this army is unbalanced. I say it looks like fun.

Pins of war have posted some photos of US Golden Demon entries. While non of these made the finals they are certainly worthy of a 1+.

I’ve included 3 40k related pictures below. A Chaos Space Marine based on a Warrior of Chaos, a Seeker of Slanesh and a Space Marine Diorama which uses one of the new Chapter Master kits as well as on of the old wounded Space Marines. There are more entries from Warhammer Fantasy on pinsofwar

Games Day US 2013 Forge World News and Pictures

Posted on July 29, 2013 by Ben Jackson

Forge World have brought plenty to US Games Day. The Storm Eagle variant has stollen the show for many, even though it was only a photo (below). There is also what appears to be a heresy landraider with multimelta on the sponsors also visible in the background of this photo.

It appears robots are making a return to 40k. Now called Automatas Robots were used in the great crusade. This may hint the Forge World are looking at going even further into the 40k history. or that there are traitor legions who have decided to return to using outlawed A.I.

Magus Dominus

There is also going to be a new tank half way between a Landraider and Predator call a Sicaran Battle Tank. Presumable this counts as a more heavily armoured Predator.
