Hier gibt es zwar nur einen Ausschnitt zu sehen, aber einer der nächsten Primarchen von Forge World wird Magnus der Rote werden.

Ansonsten gab es noch ein bisschen was zur Neuauflage von Adeptus Titanicus zu sehen, leider noch keine Modelle, dafür Ausschnitte aus dem Buch und einen Test der Regeln im Warhammer 40.000 Maßstab.

We had a chat with James Hewitt after the Adeptus Titanicus seminar this morning and got ahold of some cool images from the upcoming book.

James: While the game was clearly inspired by previous editions of Titanicus, as well as Epic, it’s very much it’s own new thing. We tried to make it so that it has lots of detail, but still plays quickly. The overall gist is that it puts you in the command throne of an individual Titan, so you are directing the action as shields and limbs take damage and crew succumb to the rigors of battle.

This is the frontis, or first page, of the book.

This page shows us an annotated schematic of a titan

Here we can see some custom dice and a Titan command terminal used in the game.

Apparently it’s not just Titans in Titanicus… there seem to be Imperial Knights as well.

 

The Specialist Games team ran a special preview participation game of the forthcoming Adeptus Titanicus here at the hotel last night. They used Warhammer 40,000 Titans to stand in for the 8mm scale versions the game itself will use.

Two teams of 5 princeps learned the rules as they went along; the traitors drew first blood (and last), winning over all against the loyalists. It proved so popular, they are going to run another game tonight (so if you’re here, get involved – ask one of the friendly folk in a red shirt for details).

We don’t know about you guys, but everyone here is even more excited for this game to arrive than we were before!

Traitors and Loyalists face off amongst the city-scape of a cardboard Hive on planet Bel3

Each player controlled a Titan from his Princeps Command Terminal

The teams fought ruthlessly long into the night.
