help Adeptus Titanicus FAQ
What is the difference between Adeptus Titanicus and Warhammer 40,000?
While both are made by Games Workshop, Adeptus Titanicus focuses strictly on massive, towering Titan war machines, whereas Warhammer 40k features standard infantry and tanks. The 2018 revival uses an 8mm scale, making the models much smaller than standard 28mm 40k miniatures.
When was Adeptus Titanicus originally released?
The game was originally released in 1988 as a specialist game set during the Horus Heresy. It was eventually overshadowed by the massive success of Games Workshop's Epic scale systems before being revived in 2018.
What scale are the miniatures in the modern version of Adeptus Titanicus?
The 2018 version of the game uses an 8mm scale, which is much smaller than the standard 28mm scale used in regular Warhammer 40,000. This smaller scale allows players to field colossal God-Machines like the Warlord Titan without them dwarfing the entire table.
Do I need to paint the models for Adeptus Titanicus?
Like most Games Workshop products, the plastic miniatures come unpainted and require assembly using plastic glue. Many players paint their Titans using specific Heraldry, such as the red and yellow colors of the Legio Gryphonicus.
