The newer Nemesis Warbringer comes with, at least a dinky version of its Terminal and cards, its lower quality than the ones that GW sells separately and with the starter, but you can play it right out of the box and it has a solid load out. I also want to take this moment to call out the AT Questoris Knights kit (actually it might be all of the knight kits for AT) and the Warhound and Reaver AT kits, because none of those come with their Command Terminals or Weapon Cards either. So at bare minimum, to field a Warlord Titan, it’s 10$ less than a Questoris Knight for 40k, which is larger, and comes with WAY more in the box. While, yes, you do need the codex and BRB to field it, you also need the rules set (at minimum) to field your warlord, so I call it a wash, since you’ll likely also need one or more Titanicus expansion books. To compare with another Citadel Kit: a questoris Knight for 50k is 157$, is about 33% larger than a Titanicus Warlord, includes all its weapon options (6 arm weapons, 2/3 top mounted weapons, and 3 chassis weapons). (And the more popular of the two, in my experience) apoc launchers, Gatling blaster (24$) plasma cannon (42$) for a total of 213.50$!!! Apoc missiles, volcano cannon, and quake cannon (24$) for a total of 171.50$, after cards. And, for context, the two most popular load outs (in my experience) are 1. Or you can go to Forge World and pay 24$ per arm weapon or 31$ per shoulder weapon set. So, you can get a 42$ kit that has different shoulder weapons, a fist, and two plasma cannons. It begs for another weapon, any other weapon, to replace at least one of the volcano cannons. But double Volcano Cannons are such a bad load out for a number of reasons, two weapons that are each meant to do the same thing, where one is already borderline overkill, and both drain the reactor, plus they only get 1 shot each. Apocalypse missile launchers are honestly fine, and I only rarely want to run anything else (and I’ve rarely seen anyone else want to), so GW gets a pass on that one. So it actually costs 147.50$ USD for your warlord Titan, at BARE MINIMUM. Now: just to get it on the table, just to play a game with your warlord Titan, that you already spent 110$ on, you need to buy a packet of Titan Command terminals (25$ USD), and the weapon cards (12.50) because those rules are not printed anywhere else. It includes two Volcano Cannons, and a pair of Apocalypse missile launchers, and a transfer sheet. The sculpt itself is great, but there’s so little in the box, at such a high price point, and it’s just ridiculous. The Adeptus Titanicus Warlord Titan kit, is, hands down, one of the worst, and most consumer unfriendly kits GW has ever made.
