Eldar Phantom Titan available to pre-order
Tall, elegant and devastating in battle, the Phantom Titan is the largest known Eldar Titan. It is swift and agile in comparison to the lumbering behemoths of the Legio Titanicus, and is armed with some of the deadliest examples of Eldar weaponry.
Each Phantom is the pinnacle of Eldar warcraft. Linked to a wraithbone core containing the living spirit of its previous pilots, the single crewman of each Phantom Titan, known as a Steersman, is an Exarch dedicated to this aspect of warfare. Locked in a trance-like state, the Steersman’s consciousness merges with the spirit-sentience of the Titan, enabling the mighty war machine to react and manoeuvre with astonishing speed.

The Phantom Titan, designed by Will Hayes and featuring interior detail sculpted by Simon Egan, is most commonly armed with at least one immense Phantom Pulsar, a long range and rapid-firing energy weapon far superior to anything sanctioned by the Adeptus Mechanicus.

The Phantom’s other primary weapon is often a Phantom D-Cannon. Much larger and more powerful than similar technology used by the Cobra or Warp Hunter, it tears a seething warp-rift in the fabric of reality to engulf and utterly destroy its foe. As well as these primary weapons, the Phantom is armed with shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft and anti-personnel missile launchers as well as an additional heavy weapon, usually a long-barrelled Star Cannon or Pulse Laser.

Adeptus Mechanicus logis-engines also record other primary weapons systems that have been encountered in the long history of conflict between the Imperium and the Eldar. Will Hayes will be turning his talented attention to these for future releases.

Full technical information and background for the Phantom Titan will be provided in Imperial Armour Volume 11: The Doom of Mymeara and you can downloadexperimental rules for this majestic war machine courtesy of the Forge World Book Design team. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/p/phantom.pdf

The Phantom Titan Body, Pulsar Arm and D-Cannon Arm are available to pre-order now for despatch in the week commencing 26th April.


New Forge World Visual Feed interview – the Phantom Titan
Weeks ago we asked you to send in your questions for a new Designer Interview video focussing on the mighty Phantom Titan, and we’d like to thank everyone who e-mailed us with questions for Will Hayes and Phil Stutcinskas. The interview is now available to view on our website here.
You can also watch it by visiting the Forge World Visual Feed channel on YouTube.


Forge World Open Day and AdeptiCon review
The 1st to 3rd of April saw Forge World attending AdeptiCon in Chicago for the first time, and our sales stand was such a success that we’ll definitely be back next year, with more staff, more tills and much more stock! We’d like to thank everyone who came to see us both at the show and elsewhere in the Westin Lombard Yorktown Centre afterwards.

Meanwhile back in Nottingham, Warhammer World was the venue for the 5th annual Forge World Open Day on 3rd April, and it was a great success as you can see in this gallery. Our Charity Titan Raffle raised more than £1,500 to help the tsunami relief efforts of WorldVision UK in Japan, so we’d think to thank everyone who bought a ticket for their generosity and we hope to see you all at an event later this year, or the next Open Day in 2012.
