So you might know that Forgeworld is creating a book that goes along the patern of Storm of Magic, loaded with monsters for people to take via scroll of binding, the Monstrous Arcana.

And today I accidentally stumbled into old information (from last november) wich showed a bunch of artwork of upcomming stuff for that book. I though I had seen all the pictures lready, but I guess I missed one :lol:

And I think it might interest you, because Forgeworld working on a Tomb King monster is kinda exciting to me, you know, seeing the army being suported outside of the army book release :P

Anyway, here's the artwork showing the Kanopic Titan.
(took from Warseer's Monstrous Arcana topic, wich you can go read for info on the book)

now thats a big beetle..... im sure its gonna fit well in my army

If that gets turned into a model, it's going to look STUNNING. I want one! XD

I am glad to see them doing stuff, but if optional, never gonna get used, type stuff from FW sees the light of day before the Titan and the Colossus with weapon options kits, I'm going to cry tears of pure rage.

I mean, geeze, sell me something I can actually _play_ with before you move on to models that are just pretty.

I know Sleboda's penchant for literalism on the table, but I'd have no problem with someone using this giant bug model with the colossus rules.

Big stompy combat construct fitting both the visual and fluff themes of most TK armies, great! Looks good enough to make up for the overall uselessness of the colossus' rules: run it with some Ushabti to complete the "looks good but doesn't do much" wing of your army.

Ok, now that's just funny!

I may have to design the "All Pretty, All Useless" army for a tournament sometime.

You already know that GW and FW are different branch, FW won't wait to release something if it's ready just because there's a unit still missing from the book :P They don't hold the responsability for the "no giant" situation :lol:

Tomb Kings look to be on par with Beastmen for support when it comes to GW, and look how long it took them to get their rare choices. We might be lucky and get get our Titan by the end of the year :)

Likewise, if GW has plans for a Titan/Heirotitan kit at some point for the future, even if they're not at all sure when they're going to get around to it, FW might not be allowed to make it themselves.

FW is only GW in that they're owned by them, otherwise they seem to do their own thing. Getting angry because they're not releasing a kit for the army book is silly, because they've never done that as far as I'm aware. :P

Wow I MUST get that model.... I love the egyptian bugs, scorpions and scarabs. I always knew it was just a matter of time befor either GW or FW would make a scarab model. And that concept art is so damn awsome! Just hope it's not to huge... Im running out of space in my warhammer case =P

Exciting news, even if it looks a little too Necron/futuristic for my taste.

I'll probably convert something gigantic to use its rules with!

I just realised, I think that's a map of the warhammer world on the carapace. :P

You may be right. Perhaps a map of the territory once held durring Settra's rule?

Imagine Settra bringing one of these into battle with the "soon to be conquered" land already marked as his.

Good eyes, Disc10, that's definitely a map. Is it just me or does it look kinda like it opens up from a globe, Transformers style? If so, I'm not sure if I think that's incredibly cool or unbelievably lame.

Guys! Its out!!!!

cant wait for the model. im squinting so hard to try to read the abilities.

Lets see... 475 Points. M8 WS2 BS2 S8 T8 W10 I1 ASpecial Ld10 (Monster)

Special Rules: Always Strikes Last, Scaly Skin (3+), Desert Strider(?), Fly, Unbreakable, Unstable, Terror, Large Target, Colossal Beast, Shrine of Eternities (?), Largest of Monsters, Special Attacks, and Curse of the Fallen

Shrine of the Eternities:

Every magic phase, the Titan can unleash a Bound Spell. One of the following may be chosen:

a) The Gaze of Dust - (power level 5), magic missile range 24". S6 hits which penetrates ranks like a bolt throwe

B) Wrath of the Sands - (power level 3), hex spell. Enemies suffer -2 to hit from shooting and -1" from charge range while this is in effect

c) Reawakening of Ancient Might - (power level 3), Augment spell. Heals the titan one wound lost previously.

Curse of the Fallen: Should the Titan be slain, before removing the model, D6 nearby units are affected (selected from the closest first, with the fallen Khemric Titan's player picking which if units are at equal distances). Roll a D6 for each model in the units that are affected. On a roll of 6 that model is slain regardless of how many wounds it has left. Only Ward saves can be taken against this attack.


SPECIAL ATTACKS
1-2: Reaping Blades
3: Flesh Eating Scarabs
4: Breath of Night
5: Devouring Jaws
6: Soul Slaying Hunger

Roll D6 to see what attacks, if the target is Monstrous Infantry, Monstrous Beasts, Monster, Monstrous Cavalry or Warmachine (or characters mounted on the above), add +1 to the dice roll.

Reaping Blades - D6 S8 hits
Flesh Eating Scarabs - 3D6 S2 Armor Piercing hits
Breath of Night - Win combat by 2, and ends the close combat.
Devouring Jaws - Pick a single model in base contact. That model suffers a S8 hit with Heroic Killing Blow, magical attacj
Soul Slaying Hunger - Flame template*. All models affected roll a D6. On a 5+, suffer D6 wounds with no armor saves allowed. Magical Attack

(*note that this attack may be used more than once in a game)

There you go themidget428 :)

Do we KNOW if there will be a model???

Filling in the blanks:

Curse of the Fallen - (selected from the closest first, with the fallen Khemric Titan's player picking which if units are at equal distances)

"Breath of Night" - It also ends the close combat phase.

Devouring Jaws - Also is a magical attack.

Edited my post. Thanks Veritas!

and my friend was braging about the orc rouge idol. LOL :lol:

apparently they will have released all 32 monsters by the end of the year

32 monsters in total, wouldn't that result in 2 monsters per army. that would be really nice.

Very nice. Devouring Jaws is kind of a$$ but the rest is spiffy. I like what they've done with the random attacks and bound spells. Seeing the larger picture, I stand by my previous statement that it opens up from a globe a la Transformers. Still can't decide if I think that's cool or not.
