The Warlord Titan has arrived. Princeps Rejoice!

The colossal Mars pattern Warlord Titan is among the most ancient and feared of the Imperium’s war machines. Forged on the Red Planet itself, it is worshipped and venerated as the Omnissiah’s will incarnate, and each god-engine is encased in layered armour and powerful void shielding, and armed with weapons that are capable of reducing armies to ash. 

In addition to its ardex-defensor mauler bolt cannon and lascannon turrets, support weapons that would be considered main armaments on smaller war machines, the Warlord is commonly fitted with a pair of carapace-mounted triple-barrelled laser blasters and two Belicosa pattern Volcano cannon. 



By far the most impressive model we have ever produced, the Mars pattern Warlord Titan stands at over 22 inches tall and weighs more than twice that of a Reaver Titan. Consisting of more than 200 parts, this huge model is amazingly poseable and immensely detailed, from its pistons, vents and access hatches to the intricately designed cockpit and crew inside its head and the embossed icons on its armour plates. It will truly be the pinnacle of any collection and will dominate any battlefield it is placed on. 



The rules for using the Mars Warlord Battle Titan can be found in The Horus Heresy Book Five - Tempest and may be used in both games set during the Horus Heresy and in standard games of Warhammer 40,000, in which case the Mars Warlord Battle Titan is a Lords of War choice for Armies of the Imperium and Chaos Space Marines. 

This bundle contains one Mars pattern Warlord Titan Body, one Mars-Alpha pattern Warlord Titan Head, two Mars pattern Warlord Belicosa Volcano Cannon and one pair of Mars pattern Warlord Titan Laser Blasters. Each is a multi-part resin kits which together build a complete Mars pattern Warlord Titan.




A stunning kit which I honestly give a straight 100/100. It could not look more perfect. Will Hayes and or Darren P has totally reached a new level of awesome. 

I have ordered one of these Chaps already and hope to have on the 5th of July at the Warhammer World Forge World Open Day. Have you?

So excited.

  2. Absolutely incredible piece of work and worth every penny as far as I'm concerned, just need to sell a few things (maybe a kidney) and miss a few nights out to get those penny's that's all ;)

    1. Good luck to you Ben! What Legio are you considering?

    2. Not certain on that yet, I've just finished a massive red scorpions project for 40k which has taken several years and I'm looking at doing a combined Mech, knight and titan force next for HH.

      Bit of a fluffy question for you actually, I was thinking of painting them all (knights, Mechanicum and maybe even GW ad Mech) in a particular legio's colours, Howling griffon's for example, as if they're seconded to them. Is that something that would work with the background to your knowledge?

    3. No doesn't work. In book 3 Extermination it references 3 Kniht houses which are affiliated with them which includes House Cadmus I believe (front of new imperial Knights book). You can do a Taghmata in Legio Griffons colours though and that is fluffy.

    4. Fair enough, I thought it was in one of the HH books somewhere but hadn't gotten round to checking.
      Cheers for the info, much appreciated :)

  3. The only thing that bugs me about it is the eight void shields projectors when the rules only state six otherwise I'll be getting one as soon as I can

  4. If only I could afford it.
    Actually, I prefer the boxy Lucius Pattern. Not as good-lookin', but looks right for the Imperium. Perhaps when I'm old and retired, hobbling to the games room on a zimmer frame held in arthritis ridden fingers. By then I might have saved up enough and a Lucius might be available.

  5. Beautiful model and totally worth the price. I, however, don't have a force big enough to even consider this massive purchase. Maybe in a few years. A Reaver is probably just about the biggest I will be able to fit in anytime soon.

  6. One thing this release has accomplished: a Reaver doesn't seem so expensive to me anymore.

    1. You can get three Reaver bodies for little more than the cost of an entire Warlord.
