Could GW produce a Titan?

[olberon]

they most certainly could produce one or multi kits . Problem is mainly the RRP .... the thing would cost around 200 euro (dont pin me on this!) and to be fair quite a lot of hobbists dont have that kind of money to spend on just one kit (i would but thats another story)

Its funny reading the last few sentences back: people would buy 2 battle forces (roughly the same price) with a lot of models in it rather then a 1 model kit. damn marketing ..............

and on the subject plastic kits - i know your are reading this GW watchdogs- Go fetch me a plastic thunderhawk!!

It's dead because at its height it sold poorly. One of the ex-senior GW chaps on Warseer mentioned it only consisting of 2-5% of GW sales at its peak.

Personally I always felt that GWs modelling skills were wasted on 6mm scale models, bar titans.

I thought that's cause it was specialist? I mean if all the specialist games sold 2-5% that's still a reasonable amount, essentially if it's profitable, why not make it?

It's a shame, I love playing Specialist Games...

Low return on investment, so the best we can hope for is the current arrangement where you can at least still buy the models and the rules are available for download (or puchase).

I suppose, I was looking at it more in the idea that it's a different game/ruleset that's still a GW Brand, so I would have thought in their interest rather than someone going to play FoW or Warmachine or whatever else is out there...

Personally, I think that it's easily possible for Games Workshop to produce a Warhound titan in plastic. Will they do so? Again, I think that they will. They did so with the Baneblade.

Despite the lower selling price of a plastic titan, I think that there are more that enough people out there, me included, who would buy a plastic titan who wouldn't ever realistically consider buying a resin one from Forge World.

While it would cost a lot to make the moulds for a plastic titan, I honestly think Games Workshop would still make one - they can probably sell enough to make back their initial costs, just like with the Stompa and Baneblade.

You never know, they could be doing one for the Eldar's super heavy(large kit whatever you want call it), which of course mean the Imperium has to have one too...

[Anggul]

People, no-one is suggesting that we have Titans outside of apocalypse. The fact is, they made a plastic Baneblade and Stompa, so they could make plastic Titans, and indeed there is no reason to keep on making them in resin other than a really, really bad excuse to charge us more money.

Personally I'd expect a Thunderhawk before a Warhound, simply because you can rely on Marine players to spend money on a Marine vehicle. Hell even I'd buy a plastic Thunderhawk for my Astral Kittens and I don't even field them on the tabletop.
