The first expansion for Adeptus Titanicus: The Horus Heresy – Titandeath – will be available to pre-order tomorrow, and in it, you’ll find no fewer than eight new sets of rules for different Titan Legions.
We’re sure you’re dying to know what they are and what they do – so here’s the lowdown.
Four loyal Legions are covered, each with its own distinctive rules and abilities. A mix of Legion Traits, Stratagems, Wargear and Personal Traits define a different play style for battlegroups of that Legion based on their background.
Legio Astorum, for example, are known for their devastating spearhead attacks and veteran Princeps, reflected in Legio Traits that allow Astorum Titans to move faster in the first two rounds of the game, and re-rolls to repair dice.
The Legio Defensor, on the other hand, quickly became ardent disciples of the Lectitio Divinitatus, and their faith in the Emperor can manifest in miracles when the circumstances are right…
Legio Atarus have access to infernus missiles that can continue to cause damage as they set enemies aflame, and destroy terrain as the fires sweep out of control.
Legio Solaria use hunting packs to bring foes to heel, allowing a Solaria Warhound squadron to contain additional Titans, and replacing Reaverswith Warhounds in any maniple. Their Personal Traits are also focused on speed and fury, such as Spear of Tigrus:
Four Traitor Legions are covered as well, including perhaps the most famous Titan Legion to swear to Horus, the Death’s Heads of Legio Mortis.
These cold and calculating killers keep a constant tally of their kills, servitor-choirs droning an endless list across vox-channels, driving the crew to greater fury.
Legio Krytos, known for the war on Tallarn, specialise in breaking fortifications – and any Titan with Apocalypse missile launchers can equip devastating ordnance designed for the purpose.
Crews for Legio Fureans Titans are drawn from tribal cultures, and their aggressive nature spills over into their god-machines’ behaviour, with Traits and other rules based on hunting a single large foe and bringing it down with devastating firepower – even including a Personal Trait that lets a Titan add 1 to armour rolls when attacking Titans of an equal or greater size within 12”.
The Legio Vulpa always had a reputation for excessive cruelty, and their fall to Chaos has only made them more deadly, with a taste for close-up combat that is reflected in their rules.
Titandeath also includes four new maniples to build your battlegroup around, including the much-requested Lupercal Light Maniples, made up of 3-5 Warhound Titans which can form into ad-hoc Squadrons of any size, and whose Coordinated Strikes are extra devastating.
This is just a taster of the new rules that Titandeath brings to your battlegroups. Pre-order your copy tomorrow and you’ll be reading them for yourself before you know it.
