Welcome back to another super cutting edge review where I review a product from 2018, Adeptus Titanicus! I have wanted to play this game ever since I saw it at a Historicon a few years back. Seeing it every year at Adepticion have kept me interested. Well, I finally asked for it and my wife got me a copy for Christmas so I figured I’d do a review!

The back shows all the contents you get in the box.

The box comes with both regular d6 and command dice, stratagem cards, waterslide transfers, quick reference sheets, weapons cards, and assembly guides for each of the Titans and Knights you get in the box.

The box also comes with templates, the Rulebook, dashboards for each of the Titans and Knights in the box, and a ruler. Oh how I miss the old measuring sticks of doom that used to come in the GW boxes. If you forgot your measuring tape you would have to use the “stick of shame” even if someone else had a tape measure. But I digress!

The box comes with a sprue which includes arc templates, objectives and what I’m assuming are markers for the dashboards.

The Reaver Knight sprues. The sprues can be used to make loyalist or traitor Titans which is kind of neat! You need three sprues to make one Reaver.

The box contains four sprues which are used to make up two Warhound Titans. Again, their are loyalist and traitor bits included on each sprue.

Finally the box comes with a sprue of Imperial Cerastus Knights which make up two knights. These are not marked loyalist or traitor so you’ll have to make due with paint to help show their loyalty.

This box currently retails for $178.50. The Reavers cost $62.50 each, a pair of Warhounds $79 and a pair of Cerastus Knights $35. Games Workshop sells a pack of 5 command terminals for Warlord Titans for $32.50. I couldn’t find the rulebook online or the template sprue but the rulebooks look to be about $58 each. With what I could figure, and discounting what I can’t find if you were to order everything separate it would be about $267. An educated guess would bring everything closer to $250. As always the GW big boxes do save you some money so if you are interested in getting in the game this is the way to go. I’ve already started to cut the minis off the sprues so I hope I can get to play sooner rather than later, although with all my other projects I’d settle for later at this point!
