Good to know, I suppose we'll just have to wait for them to appear in the Vault then.

Jervis has already stated that the current Titan and Aerospace rules may be developed further into standalone rulesets/games at some point.

There will be titan variants released in future. They will only be releasing "offical" stats and points costs for weapons that can be bought from the current Specialist game model range. Hence why all the imperial titans only have one set of weapons in the current lists.
The Ork gargants have different options, since you get those different weapons in the re-released Ork gargant boxes.

What about Forgeworld variants?
I saw in the back of Epic A rulebook it mentions the couple of FW Reaver & Warhound variants that are currently out. Does anyone know if Forgeworld are due to release any further Reaver weapon configs?
Also does anyone know if Forgeworld have any plans to releasea Lucius Pattern Warlord Titan?
I have asked the question directly but as yet have had no response. (But then again I only sent them the e-mail on Friday).
Cheers
James

I've gone one step further...
I mount all my Titan weapons with small Earth magners now so all my latest Titans are not configuration-dependent.
I have no idea if or when the new Titan variations will come out.
Take care and Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

I was wondering something similar. I want two Warhounds, and I like a mix of the two types available. But, factoring them as 250 points is fine for now, but what if the Inferno weapon fit is 260 points? This will throw out all my calculations. So, do I get two of the basic types and play it safe, or one of each and hope that they are the same points cost when the Inferno fit gets an official points value?

Hi!
Maksim's way of putting the weapons on by magnets is what I consider "the gold standard". It involves a little work but the payoff in "customization" is unparalled.

The F/W Titan weapons work just like any Titan design.
They just pop into a hole, I don't see any problem with left or right.
No conversion needed. Simple...

Well, my e40k warlord would look funny if I swapped the left and right arms, since the blast shields would be on the inside instead of the outside of the arms.

Yes, Serps... that is true, but I have over 25 Titans / Gargants / Bugs of all types dating back to the vintage Mk.1 "Beetlebacks" and the E-40K version is the only one that has that feature, with an actual left and right arm.
And maybe the Imperator too, IIRC. Both of mine are still in the "box."?
However, I have 14 Warlords, 3 Reavers and 2 Warhounds, completed, staring at me in display cases and all those weapons mounts are "universal." ?
The F/W version arms are "universal," I just looked at my Reaver and Warhound in the "Bags."?
Now with the SM-2 Warlord, some of the weapons may look like they are left or right, but with a little "bending" that is easily fixed.
And thanks C/F, I thought that they would re-release the E-40K Warlord... so I guess I won't have to buy that one! ?
And damn those MSN Geeks! But my buddy has a real P.C. and he just gets the dreaded "Red X!"  ?
I think Jervis is "jamming" our transmissions since we don't play Epic out-of-the-box!
