r/adeptustitanicus

I'd like to find a base for a phantom but i don't know where to start, what is the most robust choice for very large base such as this one ?

Hey guys, recently started playing and got another game in today.

I'm not in love with the endless imperial ruined buildings on a north-south east-west grid of roads that seems to be pretty popular and I'm looking to include buildings of all stripes along with jagged rocky areas titans just can't go, and forestry type areas where the titans have heat blooms on auspex but few clear lines of sight (until the fires start)

My question is: what's too much terrain? I get that big LOS blocking pieces is good as it creates tactical advantages, but warlords moving 4/6 means that without blowing the living shit outve the environment for several turns, they will mostly just be running to get into a firing position, only for literally everything smaller to scarper and scurry away from the fire channel...

Also, has anyone house ruled for titans simply walking through buildings? In the book titanicus the warlords often just stride through warehouses and such that are fairly flimsy and it barely slows them, and warhounds hiding on low power will run at a wall to bust through into the rear of a titan that just passed by and ambush them. I love this thematic style and would love to recreate it (obviously large, solid buildings can't just be strolled through, but brick and sheet metal constructions wouldn't necessarily last long under the stomp of a battle titan)

So me and a mate took the plunge and got into AT. Had our first games today with a ferrox magna maniple against a venator fortidus maniple. 2 reavers, 2 warhounds and 3 questoris V a warbringer, reaver and 2 warhounds as a squadron.

First off: loved it, had a ball, and look forward to doing it again.

But I wanted to get some clarity on some things because we're both new players with nobody to teach us.

So if you have a pair of titans in shield sharing formation, and I get inside the shields of one, can you still get shield saves on those attacks or is anything inside the shields inside the shields?

Secondly, there's no real mention of friendly or enemy engines giving cover. We just rolled it as per normal cover and had a warhound shooting through a friendly warbringer but at a significant disadvantage to hit. It felt weird that he could do it while within the shields of the warbringer, but just seemed dumb that he could do it through active shields on an enemy or a friend.

A model that charges can't turn but it can still charge obliquely at a 45⁰ angle in a straight line yes? The rules only mention turns, not simply running at an angle...

If you succeed at an emergency repairs order, do you immediately declare which phase that engine will forfeit or is it declared when you reach that engine in the movement phase? And if so, does that effectively give you a skip activation for however many engines succeed at that order, or do you just get that many less activations that movement phase and deal with being out activated?

And the big one. We had to dig for ages to get any sort of clarity on this but in the end we settled on a solution but I wanna see how well we did at getting it right. If you hit the weapons of a titan, you randomise which weapon was hit and it takes all the hits, same as any other location. Each weapon card has a weapon disabled rating and as long as one of your hits reaches this, it is disabled and all other hits are wasted. The NEXT time the weapon is hit you're aiming for the detonation thresholds and every hit that reaches one of those causes a body hit at the shown strength, but the weapon is still there to be repaired.

I don't like that it's still there, it feels like a hot that causes a detonation should remove the card from the engine. You take some punishment and then it's scrap metal hanging off you.

Any direction in getting these rules cleared up would be very helpful.

In the meantime, I'm very impressed with the game and the deadlines of small things getting in the back arc of bigger things to let em rip is pretty impressive (it was a plas/bolter warhound getting in behind the warbringer and knee capping him that sealed the win for magna. That and my princeps senioris reaver with a chainfist charging his perfectly healthy reaver and killing it in 2 swipes of a chainfist)

Cheers in advance for the help and hopefully in a month I should have some painted titans to show off.

Any ideas for where to order titan name plates without international shipping? I used to use battlebling years ago.
