Worshippers of the Chaos pantheon, your heretical prayers are about to be answered in the form of a new tome dedicated to the annihilation of the Emperor's pitiful servants.
The Traitor Legios book is the definitive guide for those who pledge their god-machines to the Warmaster. Strap your arms and legs (or mutated bundle of tentacles) into your restraint harness, and get jacked into the Manifold – things are about to get gross.
Who Are the Traitor Legios?
As if they weren’t already powerful enough with weapons that can raze city blocks, roughly half the legions threw in their lot with the Chaos Gods to seek yet more obscene levels of strength and resilience. With great power comes great loss of sanity, however, and their new masters offer ruin alongside their boons.
Adeptus Titanicus: Traitor Legios is stuffed with everything you need to choose a battlegroup that appeals to you. Whether you choose a named Traitor Titan Legion or Traitor Knight Household, or one of three general allegiance options, each comes with its own fearsome abilities.
With a whopping 16 Titan Legions, 12 Knight Households, and 19 Titan Maniples the book has plenty of established Legions and Houses to choose from.
And then there's Corrupted Titans. We’ll get to those in a bit. But first, let’s address the Scale Class: Monumentus elephant in the room…
Get To Know the Iconoclast
You’ve seen the incredible model, but Traitor Legios is the first place you’ll find the full background and rules for the gnarliest Titan in the game.
The Iconoclast is nothing short of spectacular, and every self-respecting Traitor Titan Princeps will want one.*
With a chainsword that can cleave through a Warlord Titan, a siege drill the size of a hab block, and a tremendous arsenal of smaller-calibre weapons arrayed all across the model, it’s an army in its own right. But, of course, it can be so much more with the blessings of the Dark Gods.
Let’s Make it Weird
The new rules for Corrupted Titans are one of the best reasons to run a Traitor Legion. They’re exactly what they sound like, with sinister upgrades showcasing the bizarre and unsettling nature of the Titans that fight under the banner of Warmaster Horus.
Traitor Legios allows you to create some truly twisted abominations, starting with mutations that let you unleash the unfettered fury of the warp – perfect for softening up a tough target or finishing off a weakened one.
A Corrupted Titan unlocks alternate versions of the Awakened Machine Spirit and Personal Trait tables, which add extra flavour to your forces, revealing some of the more insidious effects of their infernal allegiance.
The Awakened Entity table includes this banger which is perfect if you like to leap into the thick of the fighting – no matter the cost.
The Corrupted Titan Personal Trait table also has a number of rather unsavoury options on it – not least is this one, in which the engine revels in tearing its enemies apart just to watch them suffer.
Not only is it a welcome bonus, but it fits the theme of deranged, half-controlled monsters perfectly.
Then there are the Additional Mutations if you want your god-engines to get really gross. It’s enough to make you want to throw up…
Imagine the look on your opponent’s face when your ostensibly mechanical Titan unleashes a torrent of bile from where the cockpit should be. Even better if that close-range blast causes an Engine Kill!
There’s loads of fun to be had when picking the options that make each Titan feel like the twisted abomination it is.
Win Based on Style Points Alone
Let’s face it – the bad guys look cool. The icons of the various Knight Houses and Titan Legios give you an instant sense of their culture, many of which feature especially morbid iconography – especially when compared to the livery of those goody two-shoes Loyalists.
Just like Adeptus Titanicus: Loyalist Legios before it, this book is chock-a-block with detailed illustrations to show you examples of the livery for the various factions. Check out this absolute unit from Legio Interfector, the aptly-named Murder Lords.
Whether you collect one of the existing Traitor Legions already or you just want to learn more about these vile god-machines, dig into their detailed background and bring new powers to the tabletop with Traitor Legios.
If you’re just thinking about getting into Adeptus Titanicus, why not grab the boxed game to start building your collection and learning the rules? We’ll have more news on when you can get your hands on Traitor Legios soon, so sign up for our newsletter to always be in the loop.
* That may be too limiting, as even self-loathing Traitor Titan Princeps would want to take command of one of these behemoths.
