Wow this game really surprised me. I wasn't that excited about it but that batrep was really fun to watch. It would be awesome to get a MWG battle royale. That would be super chaotic (especially if Dave plays).
Yeah, this. The Bellicosa cannon is basically the Knight Deleter; one hit per model covered, plus the extra one for being under the middle, totally ignores their shields, and can’t fail to do damage. On average, hitting three knights like that should wipe the unit out, no need for the second cannon.
i can't wait to see the Reavers and Warhounds in action for a more dynamic game with more movement. I just ordered the Grand Master boxset and I'm going to make this my main game.
You damaged the Knight Banner wrong. When a Knight is removed the damage marker goes back to the first hole. In effect they each have 4 structure points. Not 4 for the entire banner.
Ill check in the rulebook when i get back - but Im fairly certain from the card that you only roll 1 dice for the Volcano cannon - even on a direct hit.
Slaitaar The blast rule states it is 2 hits if center hole is over a models base, it does make sense. Think of the hole in the middle as the actual shell and the rest is blast radius, so being hit dead on would be getting a large shell in your face and it then also explodes.
When you “Awakened the Machine Spirit” your action with that weapon ended. You can’t continue to fire the Volcano Cannon. You could fire other weapons but that was your last weapon.
I get why people are complaining about the sticker shock of the big box, and the accompanying skepticism, but I also think this game will not be for everyone nor do I think GW intended it to be for everyone. I think they knew full well that such a steep cost on the box was going to eliminate 50% of those who were sitting on the fence of curiosity, but for those who have been waiting to see this new and revised, it couldn't get here soon enough. I will say that I am disappointed to hear that there is only one load out available for the Warlords; that certainly seems like a big miss. and the game seems very incomplete without the availability of the Reavers and Warhounds. I am crossing my fingers that there is enough interest ($$$$) to maintain GW's attention on supporting the game in the same way they have continued to support Blood Bowl and Necromunda.
luke snell warlords come prepared with magnet holes to make weapons swappable and it’s been stated a weapon sprue is finished and will contain more Warlord options
Skywatcher Adept they did that once; when the rules were still in development a couple of years ago, they put on a few demo games at their conventions with 28mm scale (this bat rep is 8mm scale, if that helps) Titans and Knights etc. on, I believe, a 16'×16' “board” which was actually a decorated patch of floor. They had staff running around acting as croupiers to move the models though.
Any “push” requires a roll under the advanced rules, including the Draining trait. Things that don’t say they push the reactor, like the Reactor Leak critical, don’t roll.
Basically the more people buy and play the game the better the odds of Xenos Titans appearing. The schedule for now is Reavers next month, Warhounds in October, alternate weapon pack(s) sometime, a GME box reprint early next year, with additional scenarios, new Legio rules and Maniple types in there somewhere. The GME selling out so fast seems to have surprised GW so that might light a fire under the schedule… or it might not. Kinda hard to tell from the outside.
DrunkinChaps44 warhound and reaver have been confirmed but i havent heard anything about imperators abd other knights while weapon options are going to be forgeworld
Michael Barnard that’s what the designers have stated in interviews, but there is an ongoing debate about the actual models and their canon ‘real’ dimensions and, as yet, no actual infantry in the new scale exists.
Brian Schmitt gamemat.eu do that mat and the majority of the rock terrain on show, I have the same set. It’s bit pricy but ready to go out the box and high quality
game should have been over way earlier..crits do an auto crit point, THEN 2 dmg points..if your out of dmg points it does a second crit.....hard to tell without seeing the cards, but it seems like joshs head would been gone in like turn 3 or 4
I've seen three games so far and all have Titans just standing blatting away as the knights charge, can you see this game playing any differently? as it seems so boring now with little replay value.
Terrain scale really throws it off here, it looks really empty and makes the models look dinky, on the same empty scale as if a marine was standing by a stone arch, nothing on the table makes it feel like it actually is a titan.
Very entertaining video! Just wanted to mention a couple of rules I believe you got wrong. When you hit the knights with the templates you total up all the hits and resolve them all. So if the template was centered over one knight, and two other knights were covered, that is 4 hits to resolve. Also, a critical hit on a knight does two damage and then kills a knight outright. You really want to take advantage of those 3 inch coherency rules if the enemy has templates. Also, I believe that all attacks, ranged OR melee, performed within two inches of an enemy use your WS to hit instead of your BS. This makes Knights, with their WS of 3+, quite scary to even a Warlord, with their WS of 5+. Keep up the good work!
Eric Delgado Correct on hit totals, not sure about WS or BS regarding range. There is melee weapons so i’d say WS when you try attacking with one, BS when you shoot.
oh yea... every time one of your smal knights is destroyed you have to yut up the notch to maximum again... that is key for the small dudes :) i can imagine that those small punk´s are very annoying for the big fellas... :P
It's literally the same system as 9ther gw products by the cast of dice which all of their games are luck based lol have u played a game of 40k or a.t or aos 😆
The game looks fantastic but dear gods it's so overpriced For such a high price getting one loadout for the only titan model at the moment and having really poor knights sprue just seems wrong. There is no way I'm getting it over some AoS stuff, regardles of how cool it looks. I believe they could have easily stuffed in more bits (like few more options for Warlord and duplicate knights weapons) and that would be great and probably cost them almost nothing, considering the fact they already spent resourses on development of it.
so... game is literally move models once or twice, sit back and roll dice... What am I missing here? Looks like very little movement options and very little actual field tactics and a good deal of random (more so than 40k/AOS?). ?? Is this rule set really this bland?
Movement is critical, particularly in bigger games with other titans. You can use smaller units to get around and behind titans who then cant turn fast enough to hit them, as well as back armor being weaker. Dodging in and out of behind terrain for cover is also highly useful as obscured models are harder to hit.
Game is intended standard size 4 - 5 titans per side, this match was like playing 40k with one vehicle each. It’s way more interesting with more titans on the field and when the smaller ones are released things will really pick up.
Cant believe how ridiculously over priced these are for what you're getting, almost as bad as the single librarian for 35$.. gj GW, keep driving your little fan base farther away
Have you seen their financials lately? They're not driving the "little fan base" away, they've got us begging for more. Just sayin' =\ I wish their stuff was cheaper too, but they're definitely proving out the truism of only charging the maximum the market will bear.
Are you kidding? Have you actually looked hard at the Warlord kits? They're amazing. That boxed set is expensive (look for a bargain from an independent store) - but you get a huge amount in it. The game seems incredibly fun to play, and that's before we get Reavers and Warhounds. Yes, it is expensive, but it's aimed at those of us that have waited 30 years for a remake of a classic.
Ahh everyone wants quality at zero cost. These are not kids toys and the products are not aimed at kids. So £150 gets a titan maniple, based on the quality of the warlord, for models I enjoy to paint and game with it's a steal.
LOL the game looks so boring. i hope reavers and warhounds make it more interesting. im glad I didn't buy into this but I look forward to seeing more reports with the new stuff eventually.
Josh is adopting the "Rocky Balboa" doctrine which favors working the body of the opponent aggressively while taking a ton of hits to the head.
pro trick : you can watch series at Flixzone. Been using it for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.
@Rodrigo Luka Yea, I have been watching on flixzone for since december myself :)
Nice intro, definitely looking forward to seeing more vids on this and I have to say the Titan Luka was using looks awesome, that green is fantastic!
Wow this game really surprised me. I wasn't that excited about it but that batrep was really fun to watch. It would be awesome to get a MWG battle royale. That would be super chaotic (especially if Dave plays).
I'm just imagining that tiny knight jumping up and down swinging at the titan's head XD
Damn, this game was legitimately tense. Got to day, this improved my opinion of this game's potential.
was not going to get this game till i watched this video
You guys convinced me to pick this game up! Well done!👍👍👍
Great battle report! More please
at 26:00 it would have been 4 hits on the knights, because of the template (hit each model underneath, and 2 hits under the center)
Yeah, this. The Bellicosa cannon is basically the Knight Deleter; one hit per model covered, plus the extra one for being under the middle, totally ignores their shields, and can’t fail to do damage. On average, hitting three knights like that should wipe the unit out, no need for the second cannon.
it doesn't say that a detonation on a weapon destroys the weapon..it's just an ammo explosion/overload..
Thus was awesome cannot wait to see the next batrep. Hopefully with more Titans and terrain so force more tactical movement
i can't wait to see the Reavers and Warhounds in action for a more dynamic game with more movement. I just ordered the Grand Master boxset and I'm going to make this my main game.
I really want to see more Adeptus Titanicus. This game seems like awesome fun, plus I want to see more varied lists with Reavers and Warhounds.
That was fun to watch! More, please! Also: how long did this game to play in real time?
You damaged the Knight Banner wrong. When a Knight is removed the damage marker goes back to the first hole. In effect they each have 4 structure points. Not 4 for the entire banner.
Really like the rolling a D6 vs a D10 to see who goes first dislike that void shields give a save rather than extra wounds
Man i need thia game noe
That was awesome. Great game
Ill check in the rulebook when i get back - but Im fairly certain from the card that you only roll 1 dice for the Volcano cannon - even on a direct hit.
Slaitaar The blast rule states it is 2 hits if center hole is over a models base, it does make sense. Think of the hole in the middle as the actual shell and the rest is blast radius, so being hit dead on would be getting a large shell in your face and it then also explodes.
Joni Juuso you're right. Just re read sndit clearly states if the central hole of template is wholly over a base it's two hits
When you “Awakened the Machine Spirit” your action with that weapon ended. You can’t continue to fire the Volcano Cannon. You could fire other weapons but that was your last weapon.
That was great keep up hard work
I get why people are complaining about the sticker shock of the big box, and the accompanying skepticism, but I also think this game will not be for everyone nor do I think GW intended it to be for everyone.

luke snell warlords come prepared with magnet holes to make weapons swappable and it’s been stated a weapon sprue is finished and will contain more Warlord options
Can't wait to see even bigger titan battles in urban terrain!
This game looks great. But it would be awesome to play it with full sized Titans.
I don't think the board would be big enough!
"we're gonna need a bigger boat" or 4 tables put together. Or just to play on the floor. But still it would be worth it.
Skywatcher Adept they did that once; when the rules were still in development a couple of years ago, they put on a few demo games at their conventions with 28mm scale (this bat rep is 8mm scale, if that helps) Titans and Knights etc. on, I believe, a 16'×16' “board” which was actually a decorated patch of floor.
They had staff running around acting as croupiers to move the models though.
That sounds amazing lol
Take all my money
Aren't draining weapons only pushes by 1 instead of rolling?
Robo 1234 Basic rules you move heat 1, advanced rules you roll for result
Any “push” requires a roll under the advanced rules, including the Draining trait. Things that don’t say they push the reactor, like the Reactor Leak critical, don’t roll.
Why didn't you stomp the knight?
Thanks for sharing the battle report guys, loved it. Great job on the mini's too! Which companies make that gaming mat, it looks great too?
You can’t turn with Split Fire. Even when walking backwards.
Lee must be so busy
I loved the game now I have to buy it. , By chance will all the races get titans ? i am orky player
At the moment its just the Horus Heresy, but hopefully it will include more races. Some tyranid bio-titans would be pretty awesome.
Basically the more people buy and play the game the better the odds of Xenos Titans appearing. The schedule for now is Reavers next month, Warhounds in October, alternate weapon pack(s) sometime, a GME box reprint early next year, with additional scenarios, new Legio rules and Maniple types in there somewhere.
The GME selling out so fast seems to have surprised GW so that might light a fire under the schedule… or it might not. Kinda hard to tell from the outside.
Is GW going to release the other classes of Titans? Or are those all through Forge World? The Forge World models are hilariously expensive
DrunkinChaps44 warhound and reaver have been confirmed but i havent heard anything about imperators abd other knights while weapon options are going to be forgeworld
DrunkinChaps44 You can count on FW releasing additional stuff
Why did the Maximal Fire increase your heat on a 2? It says only 1’s.
I believe I was -1 to hit due to the Head Critical damage
It does say “before modifiers” so it should only occur on a natural 1.
What is the scaling?
Michael Barnard they are 8mm models
Er, to be clear, an infantryman at the same scale would be 8mm tall so it’s ~1.33mm to the foot, or close to Z scale if you’re into railway modelling.
Azrael Rose, so 1:230? Not 1:256?
Michael Barnard that’s what the designers have stated in interviews, but there is an ongoing debate about the actual models and their canon ‘real’ dimensions and, as yet, no actual infantry in the new scale exists.
Where can I get the terrain pieces shown here?
Brian Schmitt gamemat.eu do that mat and the majority of the rock terrain on show, I have the same set. It’s bit pricy but ready to go out the box and high quality
Thank you!
game should have been over way earlier..crits do an auto crit point, THEN 2 dmg points..if your out of dmg points it does a second crit.....hard to tell without seeing the cards, but it seems like joshs head would been gone in like turn 3 or 4
more plz
I've seen three games so far and all have Titans just standing blatting away as the knights charge, can you see this game playing any differently? as it seems so boring now with little replay value.
its going to get better when the others titans come and the armies get bigger
Loved it .
That was awesome! Poor luka and his rolls! Should have killed Josh by turn 4 or 5!
Terrain scale really throws it off here, it looks really empty and makes the models look dinky, on the same empty scale as if a marine was standing by a stone arch, nothing on the table makes it feel like it actually is a titan.
they should have used some of the terrain that came in the box , the buildings look amazing
Go hang out at Canyonlands National Park
Very entertaining video! Just wanted to mention a couple of rules I believe you got wrong. When you hit the knights with the templates you total up all the hits and resolve them all.

Eric Delgado Correct on hit totals, not sure about WS or BS regarding range. There is melee weapons so i’d say WS when you try attacking with one, BS when you shoot.
Eric is correct..when you're within 2" you use WS for everything
This game needs to evolve into modern Epic!
it very well could , although I like apocalypse a little bit better , the resin warlord from forgeworld just looks amazing
oh yea... every time one of your smal knights is destroyed you have to yut up the notch to maximum again... that is key for the small dudes :)
i can imagine that those small punk´s are very annoying for the big fellas... :P
So...gameplay wide.... this game is all about placing your models on the edge and rolling dices all of the time.... hmmm...
I feel like the amount of damage taken by Josh's titan should have killed him... Seems much too luck based.
It's literally the same system as 9ther gw products by the cast of dice which all of their games are luck based lol have u played a game of 40k or a.t or aos 😆
The game looks fantastic but dear gods it's so overpriced

Ренат Ткаченко fortunately most people don’t share this view. Their kits are selling like mad.
Miniwargaming - a TH-cam channel where people play without knowing the rules

Dr.V just wait for more titans.

had the same feelings, perhaps gets better with more titans. Definitely not interesting at this moment.
terrain layout played a part in this I think - one of the larger pieces blocking more of the mid table would have been better.
Cant believe how ridiculously over priced these are for what you're getting, almost as bad as the single librarian for 35$.. gj GW, keep driving your little fan base farther away
