Adeptus Titanicus - Teeeny Tiiiiiny Knights Inbound

FEAR THE ARMIGER! Armiger Knights Coming to Adeptus Titanicus!

Thank you to Princeps Lex, who has provided the below guest article for us:

At many a Titan Walk there is a whisper, a phrase that strikes terror into the heart of even the boldest Warlord Princeps: “fear the Armiger.” For long have these tiny Knights, nimble, well-placed and presenting less of an immediate danger than the towering God-Engines on the horizon, punched far above their weight class and through numbers, cunning, or sheer luck dropped an avatar of the Omnissiah many times their size. [Just ask Princeps Tersarius.  #fearthearmiger  Sorry, not sorry. – Shadow]

And now, fresh off the presses from Warhammer Community, they are coming to Adeptus Titanicus!

D’awww!!! Are they not the CUTEST? And smol too!

Barely clearing a Warlord Titan’s toe-connector plate!

But wow are they going to be mean:

A movement speed of 11” should allow them a real shot at getting that into short range in the rear armor of some big engines and doing serious damage. This will have the poor Warmaster Titan acting like an elephant that has seen a mouse! [A little doubt there, but it will be a bit of a threat – Shadow]

Assuming, of course, that being small also means being cheap.

Because they are, reportedly, “fragile,” so we should assume you are going to need that combination of numbers, skill, and luck to keep them from being flattened outright by a Belicosa pie plate. And with the smallest bases seen so far in Titanicus, it stands to reason that they will have a harder time spreading out than other banners (although this is, admittedly, nothing more than reasonable speculation).

And more good news: They come in Mechanicum flavor too for that tasty Moirax goodness so many Warhammer 40k and Horus Heresy players have come to know and love!

 

Ooooh! Volkite Veuglaire! Must love funky names for the choom guns!

The news some of you may be less enthusiastic about is that all of these, Warglaives, Helverins, and all flavours of Moirax, are going to be released by Forgeworld in resin. Games Workshop’s plastic kits are so excellent that it is hard not to be a little disappointed that everything cannot be released that way, but members of the TOC are no strangers to Forge World’s products, so we should be well set to enjoy the fury of a thousand thermal spears that will soon (?) be coming to a Titanicus sized table near you!
