Legions Imperials: New Dire Wolf Scout Titan Kits Coming In Plastic

Games Workshop is continuing with Horus Heresy Thursday reveals but they are adding in Legions Imperialis in the mix. Dire Wolf time!

With the announcement of Legions Imperials taking place in the Horus Heresy GW is ramping up their product line. And sense Horus Heresy Thursdays cover all of the Horus Heresy releases, that means you can expect a mix of Legions Imperialis and Dark Age announcements in the future. Today it’s a new plastic kit for the Dire Wolf Scout Titans.

Previously available in resin, this hound has a bite that’s far worse than its bark, mounting a carapace weapon of a class usually reserved for larger Titans. In games of Adeptus Titanicus, we know that it loves to hide in dense terrain to ambush hulking Reavers and Warlords, and it’s no less deadly in Legions Imperialis – especially when it has columns of tiny tanks to chew on.

This new all plastic kit comes with three weapon variants: the Volcano Cannon, the Neutron Laser, and a Conversion Beam Dissapator.

Considering these weapons are “Titan Killers” you can bet they are going to pack a punch in Legions Imperialis. Oh and of course these Titans also come with Ardex Mega-Bolters for even more dakka going down range. You’ll be able to find rules for these weapons in the Legions Imperialis Rulebook. Additionally, the new kit will have enough bits to construct two Dire Wolf Scout Titans in the box and can be used in both Adeptus Titanicus and Legions Imperialis.

I do think it’s a good idea for GW to continue to support Adeptus Titanicus at the same time they are releasing “new” kits for Legions Imperialis. If they are already creating the plastic for one game then creating the rules for the same models seems trivial in comparison — especially when it comes to Titans. Let’s hope they do the same thing for some of the tank elements at least…just throwing that out there.

New Dire Wolf Scout Titans in plastic? I wonder what other units we can expect to see in plastic eventually…
