2 starter boxes plus the loyal and traitor books is a great start, watch out for maniple boxes for great value too

[@optimalgamestate]

I figure at some point I should pull out the two books and go through them in a video. I missed the last time the maniple boxes were out, definitely a great deal!

[@jeffhatcher6585]

2 starter boxes is definitely the way to start. My daughter asked for a box for Christmas, so I got myself a box too. After years of 40K, I have fallen in love with Titanicus. Great video. One of the best I’ve come across. Proud to be subscriber number 12. Keep up the great work.

Glad you enjoyed it, both Titanicus and the video :D I'm definitely enjoying making these videos, so there will be more. I figure once I've got a decent backlog then I can worry about a regular schedule :P

Just a thought, the idea of titan paint schemes comes from how knights used to dress during the middle ages across Europe, so for some really wacky paint schemes keep away from the normal stuff and look for books or web pages covering heraldry. This is also a great time to say it's not the paint schemes that identify the various titans, it's the shield markings AND your individual choice of war plate, Horus Heresy plate as a big example is obviously chaos tainted so their plate has the eye of Horus on it. To give yourself an even bigger job to do, which in turn will be a lot of fun, try finding websites that sell heraldic banners at wh40k scale, you can experiment with these for your own house colors and motifs, these are important especially in the game if you decide to play at a higher level. Finally (phew) please have fun, remember it's a game, all your doing is expanding on the game pieces, so your making your own versions.

This is the only GW battle game I play now. Since I know one unit in Adeptus Titanicus can wipe out the entire 28mm Army I've been collecting for over 3 years so what's the point of engaging in these little skirmishes. I escalated the stakes if you will. GW Unleash EPIC 40K again please! 😁

[@optimalgamestate]

You'll be in trouble once they release Battle Fleet Gothic then! One model can wipe out an entire planet! 😆

Just to cheer you up, EPIC is rolling out again in stages. If you have a friendly neighbourhood Warhammer shop near you, just bug the staff there for details. My chaps in the local store whip out their fones and show me the latest news etc. Really handy that lol.

It does look cool. I have not used such small scale minis, and these scream out MAGNETIZE to me.

[@optimalgamestate]

Many of the models have sockets that are perfect for magnets, so clearly the design team knew what we were doing and approved 😁

[@sebastianrubin7476]

Got my hands on a grandmaster edition kit; but then, I'm more into it for the hobby than the gaming, but having looked at the rules... It'll make a good alternative to 40k, if nothing else.

[@optimalgamestate]

I'm jealous! The only real problem with the Grandmaster Edition is it doesn't make for a great game, but cost wise it's a great bargain. I've got 2 of the starter box so right now a grandmaster edition would be perfect to round it all out. I did actually pick up a box of the terrain that comes with it just so I could use it for basing materials XD

[@mcc_1024]

Can't play 40k now it's so broken. ATgor me out of a serious hobby slump.

[@optimalgamestate]

I have a decent Black Templar and Necron army that really are just hobby projects. I'm sure the 40k games make for fantastic looking boards but I'm really not a fan of the rules at the moment either. Titanicus on the other hand is the best of both worlds :D

@@optimalgamestate its so well balanced and the look of fear when you set up a banner or two of lancers lol virtually every game I've had my opponents will go all out to kill the Knights lol
