Mistäs tuo skaalan muutos on mainittu? Harmin paikka jos totta mutta kaippa odotettavissa.

Adeptus TItanicus.

Ok, not exactly much to show here except the poster below.

However talking to Andy Hoare, Mark Bedford and Chris Drew I can mention the following:

The game is set during the Horus Heresy in the spirit of the original Adeptus Titanicus.
It will begin with just Titans.
The scale will be 8mm - They decided on this scale after 3D printing a Marine, Dread, Leman Russ, Warlord and a Mastodon in three different scales. 8mm was deemed the best as you could see the details to the point of telling different armour marks apart but didn't make the Titans too big.
8mm will make a Warlord around 6" tall (that's what it looked like why Andy Hoare put his hands apart, don't blame me if the final model is smaller or larger...).
The models will be produced in resin by Forge World.
Typical force may be in the region of two Warlords, two Reavers and two-three Warhounds.
More Titan variants are possible.
Down the road infantry and tanks are to be introduced.
Other forces are also possible, this includes Xenos which can be introduced in a themed expansion, e.g. Adeptus Titanicus: Armageddon to bring in the Orks.
Currently the Titans are being 3D modelled by Chris Drew, the Warlord has been done as the 40k version was originally 3D modelled so it was a case of just scaling things down and getting it to work as a model which can be manufactured.

We may, may, get to see something at the Forge World Open Day...(may, depending on Tony Cottrell)

Oliko tämä sarkastista ylistystä?

Koitin nimen omaan spinnata positiivisemmaksi tuota "vain 12" ilmaisua. Uusi Blood Bowl vaikka kuudellakin napilla per puoli on parempi pelin säilymisen kannalta kuin vaihtoehtofigut fanisäännöillä.

Speaking to Aly Morrison, what was quite interesting is hearing some of the ways that things have changed as a result of 3d CAD. On the surface it's pretty obvious they've gained rapid prototyping using 3d printers, but there are a whole host of other benefits. Previously the model would need to be made 3-up, pantograph cut into a steel mold, cast up (hopefully with no problems), first run passed to 'Eavy Metal and then the box can start to be designed. The process is now much more streamlined; a 3d print can be used to create resin models so 'Eavy Metal can start painting before production. The steel mold can be cut using CNC machines (on site) removing the time-intensive need for pantographing. The decision on how many and the size of the sprues was decided right at the start of the project which means the box art can be designed whilst the models are being painted so can be printed ready for when the first sprues come from production. Amazing really.

However 3d CAD hasn't sped up the actual sculpting process and has actually added more work for the sculptors as they do the sprue layout in addition to the model sculpts. This has had the benefit that they have pretty much free range to fill up the sprue with as much stuff as they fancy - those random things like owls and such like are the brain child of one of the sculptors! It was also confirmed that there is no theoretical maximum size of a kit, the largest sprue they produce is the "tank" sprue (as used on models such as the Baneblade) but they could feasibly produce as many as them as they wished for a single kit. Where the limit comes is down to return on investment, would Games Workshop sell enough models to cover the investment etc. One other interesting snippet is the box size and number of sprues appears to be how prices are currently calculated rather than what the unit does in game. This does make sense and explains why the getting started box sets are such good value.

The team work on projects from across all of the game systems and the average lead time on a new model is 2 years. This can be rapidly reduced (for example the recent anniversary marine was produced in 2 months) or lengthened (strong hints at a race of fish men have been being worked on for some time). Reading between the lines any range that is in a Grand Alliance book will receive some love in the future, it may be reworked models/imagery or new units but they are working on new and exciting things. This part of Games Workshop is now also "product secure" which explains the reduction in the number of murky WIP shots.
