Update to Titans? Confirmed Forge World Rules Updates

The Las Vegas Open is one of the opportunities to find out what GW is working on and them pulling the curtain back a bit for us.  It's almost like their version of our behind the scenes articles (you might even hear Shadow hissing right now because he still doesn't have his Mori he wished for in the last BTS).  Of course the previews are always great and a lot stood out.  One thing was brief in the LVO preview but was expanded upon a bit this morning.

Yep!  The 2017 Forge World indices are getting a refresh.  But what's great about this is that they aren't just a refresh of the indices.  The indicators are that we are getting brand new books.  Hopefully this means a glorious return of the Imperial Armour series!  The big question as it pertains to our lovely and loved Titans remains though:

What will they do?  Will they receive new abilities?  Will void shields be re-worked to their more classical nature?  Points drops?  And that's where we'll have to be patient.

Thoughts?  Hit us up in the comments.

Secutarii in 8th Edition- Forge World Responds

BigJon recently got in touch with Forge World about the Secutarii rules and their status in 8th Edition since many have noticed that they aren't in Imperial Armour- Index: Forces of the Astra Militarum.  Here was the response he received:

"Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for the email, As far as we are aware the Mechanicum Sekutarii and the Ordinatus that all had a warhammer 40,000 stat sheet will have a new data sheet in the forth coming Forge world campaign book Fires of Cryxis.

We are requesting that the rules team release these data sheets ahead of the book release as it would be great for all of those that own these units to start using them as soon as possible.

Whilst we wait for our rules team to get back to us regarding this we would ask that you bare with us as it may be a few weeks before we hear anything further.

Until the New campaign has been announce and released we are not sure what other Mechanicum units will make the leap from the 30k universe to the 40k universe though we eager and exited to find out.

Please keep an eye on our community forum updates and Facebook posts for all of the latest and official announcements regarding rules and products.

Thanks again"
