For a while there have been rumors, mostly speculation, but some insiders, who said that Forgeworld is making a Warlord Titan. Sure, it makes sense in that they did a Warhound, and then a Reaver. But a Warlord is a BIG model. Figure 50% bigger than a Reaver. And how many would they sell? How many people play games where you can use it? It would certainly cost around $ 1,500.
Well, the fact is, after my talks with two different members of the Forgeworld team at Adepticon, they actually would LIKE to make a Warlord. However, they have no plans for doing so. At Forgeworld there is a list of projects that are in some stage of working on, even if it is just concept design and the Warlord is NOT on that list.

Forgeworld would like Will Hayes, who has created every Titan Forgeworld has made (The Warhounds, Reavers, Eldar Revenant and Phantom), to make the Warlord. The problem is that the Warlord will take 18 months to complete and WIll is one of the best designers in the studio. To lose him that long would severely hurt Forgeworld's ability to release other models. And ultimately there is a financial analysis that sees that as not very wise.
So keep hoping, and in the mean time, do what I did, and buy a Warlord! (Check out the Apocalypse40K forum).
