Title: If you ever thought your hobby was expensive... (Warhammer 40K Warlord Titan)
Post by: T-Man on July 07, 2015, 10:14:50 am
Is anyone else struggling to quite believe these are actually on sale :lol:...

You too can own a 40K-scale Warlord Titan... if you sell your car... and your house...and possibly some organs.... (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/MARS_ALPHA_PATTERN_WARLORD_TITAN.html)
(oh don't worry everyone you get free delivery! :wtf: :lol:)

No mistake, that's probably a fair price for it given the size and quality (Forge World do some incredible models, and that one does look stunning), but... just.... Jesus... and.... where do you even keep the bloody thing?!

It also doesn't look anything like any other Warlord ever depicted, and I still prefer my solution of getting a nephew or the kid across the street to cosplay as one anyways.

this is my beef with it as well. looks like the took the reaver and scaled it up to warlord and widened it.
has a size chart:

i personally treat this as the "true" warlord appearance:

Don't disagree with your feelings actually now you mention it; I prefer the green blocky design too (quite liked the look of the Epic Armageddon Warhounds Forge World did in that style). This one is based more on the much older designs (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/3e/39/b3/3e39b3acd24502be0cfa2154a43104f0.jpg) from their old games like Adeptus Titanicus (https://cf.geekdo-images.com/images/pic804395_md.jpg) (long before I even got into GW, only know because of mentions in some articles I read yonks ago), apparently that was how the old Warlords looked. I think it's because it's intended for that new Horus Heresy thing they're doing where you can have armies from the time of the Heresy.

That was my thought; would probably be a lot cheaper too. :lol:
