Legions Imperialis – Reaver Titan with Graviton Obliterator and Volkite Annihilator
This new Reaver Titan with Graviton Obliterator and Volkite Annihilator is the third boxed variant of a Reaver Titan, after the Reaver Titan with Gatling Blaster, Laser Blaster, Power Fist and Carapace Apocalypse Missile Launcher, and the Reaver Titan with Melta Cannon, Chainfist and Carapace Turbolaser Destructor.
With this box, we conclude our brief series on the latest releases for Legions Imperialis and Adeptus Titanicus, thanks again to our sponsor Radaddel.
Just like the two other kits, the pre-order for the Reaver was opened on July 18th, with public release on August 1st. The new options in plastic are either available as a full kit for 51,50 EUR or just the Mail Order exclusive sprue for 23 EUR.
The boxed set provides everything you need to use the Reaver Titan in Adeptus Titanicus right inside the box: a Command Terminal plus Weapon cards covering the included armament. The sprue-only upgrade only covers the plastic and nothing else. The rules for using it in Legions Imperialis are covered in the core rulebook (p. 214) and the Liber Strategia (p. 162) rather than in the box.
Legions Imperialis – Warlord Titan with Volkite Destructor and Macro-Gatling Blaster
Among the freshly released Warlord Titan variants, the Warlord with Volkite Destructor and Macro-Gatling Blaster sits alongside its sibling kit, the Warlord with Quake Cannon and Conversion Beam Extirpator, as options four and five for the chassis. Joining the existing line-up of the Warlord with Volcano Cannons and Apocalypse Missile Launcher, the Warlord with Power Claw and Plasma Annihilator, and the Warlord-Sinister Psi-Titan.
We use this release to revisit and update the reviews of the Warlord Titan with the support of Radaddel, and cover today the second new Warlord Titan kit, with Volkite Destructor, Macro-Gatling Blaster and Graviton Ruinator.
The box art depicts the model at a larger, more heavily detailed scale than the actual Epic-scale kit delivers. Shield designs differ noticeably from the finished miniature, and the weaponry (for example the gatling barrels being the clearest example) carries more sculpted detail on the packaging than what ends up in your hands.
Pre-orders for the kits opened on July 18th, with general availability following on August 1st. As with the other Warlord releases, this one comes in two versions: the complete kit for 100 EUR, or a Mail Order exclusive upgrade sprue on its own for 42 EUR.
Everything needed to field the Warlord Class Battle Titan in Adeptus Titanicus ships inside the box; a Command Terminal plus Gear cards covering the included armament. The cheaper 42 EUR sprue-only option gets you the plastic and nothing else; no cards or printed material for Adeptus Titanicus use. Rules for fielding it in Legions Imperialis, meanwhile, live in the core rulebook (p. 216) and the Liber Strategia (p. 164) rather than in the box.
Legions Imperialis – Warlord Titan with Quake Cannon and Conversion Beam Extirpator
As for the new Warlord Titan variants, Warlord Titan with Quake Cannon and Conversion Beam Extirpator and Warlord Titan with Volkite Destructor and Macro-gatling Blaster, these are the 4th and 5th options for the Warlord Titan, after the Warlord Titan With Volcano Cannons and Apocalypse Missile Launcher, Warlord Titan With Power Claw and Plasma Annihilator and the Warlord-Sinister Psi-Titan.
And for us the perfect excuse to revisit and update the reviews of the Warlord Titan kits we have posted on the blog, with the support of Radaddel. We will begin the short series with the Warlord Titan with Quake Cannon and Conversion Beam Extirpator.
The kits went on pre-order on July 18th and are set for public release on August 1st. The new Warlord kits are available in two versions, as a full kit for 100 EUR or for 42 EUR with just the single upgrade sprue exclusive to Mail Order.
The rules for using the Warlord Class Battle Titan with Adeptus Titanicus are included in this boxed set with a Command Terminal and Gear cards for the included weapon systems. The 42 EUR upgrade only covers the plastic, no printed material, cards, etc. for the use in Adeptus Titanicus. The rules for their use in Legions Imperialis are included in the core rule book (page 216) and Liber Strategia (page 164).
June 2026 review
Halfway through 2026!
The year is already half over, and we have seen quite a bit so far. CONflict Rheinland may have taken place at the end of May, but the coverage only went online in June, so I’m including it here as well. Once again we had our own table, played a good amount of games, and had a really solid day overall. What more could you want?
It is a bit of a shame, though, that the next tabletop event, as things stand now, will not be until September: Rhein Main Multiversum 2026 in Nidderau. So there will have to be a few private sessions in between.
Speaking of private gaming sessions, there were a few of those in June as well. I met up with Team Würfelkrieg for some gaming and bbq, and we played a few rounds of What a Tanker! That will definitely be continued with more games later on. The highlight, though, was the ride in the Willys Jeep.
Adeptus Titanicus – New Warlord Titans and Reaver Titan
The Legions Imperialis range was among the systems covered in the Big Summer Preview 2026. As the model range is largely complete, the excitement was there, as it could be something completely new added to the range, for example Custodes, finally Primarchs or something similar spectacular.
But it was none of that, yet still something titanic. "New" weapons for your titan legions, and I put that new in quotation marks for a reason. We were shown two new variants of the Warlord Titan and one new variant of the Reaver Titan.
The core kits have been available since 2018, and weapon options were partially released in plastic and partially available in resin by Forge World. These new additions to the range are mostly options moved from Forge World resin into plastic sprues. These options will be available as complete boxes of their own, as well as individual sprues like other variants are currently available.
Legions Imperialis – Mechanicum Acastus Knights Asterius
Among the three Mechanicum knights new in plastic, the Acastus Knights Asterius are the only ones we didn't cover before as their resin counter part and as such are very happy to introduce them on here.
And just like the other items, this boxed set will go on pre-order on April 19th and will be released on May 3rd for a RRP of 37 GBP or 47,50 EUR.
The Acastus-Class Knights Porphyrion are already a rare sight, being perhaps the most heavily armed and armoured of all the Knight chassis in service, which rivals the Scout Class Warhounds Titans in size and might. The Asterius is even more scarce, replacing the Twin Magna Lascannons of the regular Acastus for Conversion Beam Cannons that can turn enemy fortresses and titans into ashes. The other weapon systems are replaced as well, the Las- or Autocannons are up armoured to Volkite Culverins and even the missile system is replaced by a Karacnos mortar battery.
Legions Imperialis – Mechanicum Cerastus Knights Atrapos
We get to see three former Forge World resin kits from the Adeptus Titanicus range re-released as plastic kits today, and in this review we will cover the Cerastus Knights Atrapos.
This set of four Cerastus Knights Atrapos will go on pre-order on April 19th and will be released on May 3rd for a RRP of 47,50 GBP/62,50 EUR. Their rules are covered in the Core Rulebook for Legions Imperialis.
The Atrapos pattern of the Cerastus Knights is a rather "recent" addition to the lore of Warhammer 40,000, with them being introduced as 28mm model kit in 2015. Similar to the Mechanicum Questoris knights, the Cerastus Knight Atrapos is a unique and rare variant among the Knight Households. They were originally developed to take on heretek engines and xenos warmachines, as those were considered a blasphemy to the Omnissiah, but their rare and potent weaponry made them a devastating threat against not only Knights but Titans well, on both sides of the Horus Heresy. Armed with Atrapos Lascutters and Graviton Singularity Cannons, mounted on the swift Cerastus chassis the Atrapos is a rather destructive choice, especially further upgraded with the Macro-Extinction Protocols, Blessed Autosimulacra and Ionic Flare Shield, which were partially transfered into their unit profile in Legions Imperialis.
Legions Imperialis – Mechanicum Knights Magaera/Styrix
The Questoris Knights got multiple updates over the time since their initial release for Adeptus Titanicus in 2018. The initial box set was a set of 3 Imperial Knights, and those got an upgrade with the rocket pods and thunderstrike gauntlets (either as a blister pack or full set) to Questoris Knights, and parallel a release by Forge World for the Mechanicum Knight variants of the Magaera and Styrix in resin. And now these resin models have been remade in plastic, which we are going to take a closer look upon today!
This set of four Questoris Knights will go on pre-order on April 19th and will be released on May 3rd for a RRP of 31,50 GBP/41 EUR.
The Questoris Knights Styrix and Mageara were introduced to the Lore of Warhammer (30,000) with the Horus Heresy Book IV - Conquest in 2014. Both patterns have a Hekaton Siege Claw as a melee weapon, but in different designs, and for ranged attacks either a Lightning Cannon in case of the Magaera or Volkite Chieorovile in case of the Styrix.
Adeptus Titanicus – Legio Astraman Ad Arma Pt. XVI
With the finished bases packed in the boxes, I went off to the paint meetup last year, and this was my project for inbetween the other things to get either into the mood for painting or as a palette cleanser.
I used 3d printed bits and parts from the Civitas Imperialis ruins set, along with spackle and cork, to finish the bases.
From there I went the regular route, adding the texture paste (used the remainder of the Armageddon Dunes and Armageddon Dust, but from now on using Dark Earth by Vallejo) and let it dry properly.
Adeptus Titanicus – The Dark Mechanicum stalks…
We've covered the Dark Mechanicum units for Legions Imperialis and Adeptus Titanicus, and the smaller Stalker Constructs "only" include two of each of the three different constructs, so I went for a second box to boost them up to four per unit.
It was important to me, to swap around the legs and poses as much as possible, to create the most variety from that set. With the Scintillax "Cyclops" Noospheric Stalker and Tenebrax "Archer" Battle Stalker, that wasn't the biggest issue as they have weapons options and that alone prevented them from being a clone army.
