GW's March 1st stuff (Knight Titan)

[Imp]

Yeah Sentials of Terra is just a print version of this Ebook from black library

Rumor has it the codex will go up for Pre-order in march with no solid hint of what a real release date would be

[Sir_Prometheus]

im interested in one of the Knight Books

Here's what GW had to say about that:

The Sentinels of Terra Limited Edition, the last item listed in green, is not offered with any discount. If someone wants it, please have them get it from the website.

Douche bags. 

So as in, they want you, if you sell it, to sell it with no margin at all? 

Look, GW, when we said we wanted you to embrace the internet, "selling everything through our website, all digital products for physical hardback price" was not what we meant.

At least we're getting higher quality products with more rules/fluff/backstory than their physical counterparts with hardly any ambiguity or spelling errors, right guys? ...guys?

I've got high hopes / expectations for this titan model.  It looks sweet and seems playable.

Also... If it hits you with its sword, YUR DED.

[Sir_Prometheus]

It's very pretty.  But no, it doesn't seem playable, or rather, in any way balanced.

[Grimwulfe]

Mat your definition of playable may differ from someone else's.  I would avoid making blanket statements.

If I may...

A knight is not a titan. /sperg.

I said this in December.. you can kick and scream all you want, but you can't stop the big D. Pandora's box is open and now it's closer more then ever.. sooner or later everyone is gonna get a taste. Don't like it? Don't matter.. big D isn't the sensitive type.

Once you go D there ain't no going back lol

Someone on Dakka suggested using a lost planet 2 ptx-140 figure.

Which is apparently in the 7 inch range, taking a look at the picture it wouldn't be that hard of a conversion to do, best part is the figure is only $25 to $40 range. With a swap out of some of the dream forge arms you should be able to come in under both lines version of a knight.

I do not think anyone was complaining about Str D melee weapons.  I am pretty sure people were (and are) complaining about Str D ranged weapons.

Str D melee will rip apart any daemon or tyranid monsterous creature , so you might be the minority on that one. But hey, as long as it doesn't effect marines then who cares, right?

[Benjamin]

I find it ironic that only a few months ago when Escalation/Stronghold dropped, people were strongly against Titans/D weapons in regular games.. and now everyone is getting warm, fuzzy feelings over Imperial Knights lol.

Hmm, I think it's rather that those people now have plans away from 40k.

*Shrug* I play Orks, so I really never thought about how StrD Melee interacted with MCs...especially since Orks do not have an MC.  I remember alot of the heartache was around the 900 pt uncatchable Eldar thing that threw out 2 str D blasts a turn and the cheap Necron that did Str D flame templates.  I do not remember any heartburn over, say a Stompa, with a StrD melee weapon.

You are probably right that since it is imperial no body really cares.

And I still think GW is confused about what kind of game there are making models for.  I personally do not think that SuperHeavies and StrD have a place in such a small scale game.  Epic 40k is where all this stuff belongs...and the more I read about the old Epic system, the cooler it is.  Too bad they killed it off.

Was pretty excited about this the other day, the idea of making a Knight House Ad Mec army.  Then I got to thinking about just playing 40k again...and kind of lost interest.
