In the background of the 40k Universe; how are titans actually deployed on to a planet? Are they just kicked out a cargo bay in orbit with ablative shielding, or do they have whomping BIG drop ships to deliver them to the surface? |

Whomping big drop ships, if you'd like to know more about titans the book titanicus by dan abnett is a read i recommend. Blind- |

i seem to recall an odd reference to a titan drop pod somewhere. but yeah, normally they're simply massive ships |

If you are keen on titan v titan action (including full frontal deloyment of chaos drop ships, oeer misuss), I would recommend 'Storm of Iron' by Graham McNeill.... Crackin' read Phil |

"...I would recommend 'Storm of Iron' by Graham McNeill...." I've looked into it, a hard book to find. I think it is either OOP or Out of Stock. |

"I've looked into it, a hard book to find. I think it is either OOP or Out of Stock" MJ - I've just had a look on Amazon - this book is still available (1 copy for £2.68) Worth a look |

I noticed on the chapters.ca site that there is an Iron Warriors Omnibus coming out in February. It has has "Storm of Iron" as well as a novella and couple of short stories in it. So, I'll probably check that out next year. |

You will do yourself a great disservice by not reading Storm or Iron. I still think it's Graham McNeill's best book. |
