I think the Imperial Armor is the only source I don't have covered at this point.  Can someone give me the rundown it has in there, please? _________________ Neal

I think the Imperial Armor is the only source I don't have covered at this point. ?Can someone give me the rundown it has in there, please? As I promised. However, it's not much. Just a list of Forge Worlds with the name of Titan Legion plus what segmentum they're located in. Like I said earlier, Flaming Skulls and Storm Lords are not listed as taraitors any more. Maybe new legions have been founded and given the old name?   Legion Name: Legio Destructor (Beasts of Steel) Forge World: Accatran, Ultima Segmentum Legion Name: Legio Tempestor (Storm Lords) Forge World: Estaban III, Ultima Segmentum Legion Name: Legio Magna (Flaming Skulls) Forge World: Estaban VII, Ultima Segmentum Legion Name: Legio Astramana (Morning Stars) Forge World: Graia, Segmentum Tempestus Legion Name: Legio Gryphonicus (Howling Griffons) Forge World: Gryphonne IV, Segmentum Tempestus Legion Name: Legio Astorum (Warp Runners) Forge World: Lucius, Segmentum Obscuras Legion Name: Legio Ignatum (Fire Wasps) Forge World: Mars, Segmentum Solar. Also home to two other legions, which are classified. Legion Name: Legio Metalica (Iron Skulls) Forge World: Metalica, Ultima Segmentum Legion Name: Legio Crucius (Warmongers) Forge World: Ryza, Segmentum Solar Legion Name: Legio Honorum (Deathbolts) Forge World:Stygies VII, Ultima Segmentum Legion Name: Legio Pallidus Mor (Pale Riders) Forge World: Tolkhan, Segmentum Tempestus Legion Name: Legio Victorum (Foe Slayers) Forge World: Triplex Phall, Ultima Segmentum Legion Name: Legio Invigilata (Emperor's Guard) Forge World: Voss Prime, Segmentum Solar _________________ I don't know and I let who care. -J.S.

If so - they really need to be more inventive with the names... _________________ Tom Webb Author Page: http://www.newtonwebb.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/thewebb Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/thenewtonwebb Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thenewtonwebb

I think that's going to be the end of what I find for now. ?I'll update my info and talk to Cybershadow about a good place to post it. ?I'll probably post it to the Epic yahoo groups, too. _________________ Neal

I tried to past the link, but every time I did, some sort of auto-formatting messed up the link.  Here's the link to the files page on epic. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/epic/files/ _________________ Neal

Having not playtested in a good while, I'm sure much has changed that I'm as yet unaware of. Thus I turn to you for your thoughts on my army composition. Its designed to be a 5000 point force, but with 500points leway to allow me some variation. Thus we have (bold is companies, italic is what a formation contains, normal is Co.upgrades): 1 Regimental HQ Regimental Command, Salamander, 12 troop stands, 6 chimeras Fire Support Platoon in Chimeras 4 Fire Support Stands, 2 Chimeras Mechanised Company 1 Command, Salamander, 12 troop stands, 6 chimeras Fire Support Platoon in Chimeras 4 Fire Support Stands, 2 Chimeras Tank Comapany 9 Leman Russ & 1 Vanquisher command Super Heavy Tank Company 3 baneblades (that look a lot like Stormhammers) Super Heavy Tank Company 3 Shadowswords (that look a lot like Stormblades) Artillery Company 1 Salamander, 6 Manticore, 3 Bombard Support Formations Sentinel Squadron 4 Sentinel scout walkers Sentinel Squadron 4 Sentinel scout walkers Flak Battery 3 Hydra Flak Tanks Artillery Battery 3 manticores Artillery Battery 3 basilisk I also have the following "floating" upgrades, ie I cant decide which companies they would be of most use for: Tank Squadron 3 Leman Russ MBTs (that look a lot like destroyer tank hunters) Tank Squadron 3 Leman Russ Demolishers Griffon Battery 3 griffon mortars (which look a lot like Medusas) Navy Support 2 Thunderbolt Fighters (which look a lot like Lightning strike aircraft) 2 marauder Bombers All told, its 5350 points. I initially planned a 4K army, with only one SHT company ever being fielded at a time, but with some new additions on order, it expanded to 5K rather fast. What would you add? Where would you alocate the support formations? What would you change around? Would you say that a Titan is really needed? If So, could I get away with a reaver or warhounds? Any thoughts much appreciated. _________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.

I would think that you could get away with a pair of warhounds in most situations, because paired with your Shadowswords they could handle an enemy titan, as long as there were only one or two.  Any more than that, and you would probably need the heavier firepower of the reaver to go with them.  I personally like my pair of warhounds, they rock. my 2cents, iblisdrax _________________ "Have Leman Reuss, will travel" "Hallo.

Quote (TuffSkull @ 26 2003 Oct.,21:48) Flak Battery 3 Hydra Flak Tanks You may want to spread these around the companies, say one each for the two mech. inf. coys and one for the tank company. That way you can cover a lot more ground with some flak and not worry about the single fragile formation. I also have the following "floating" upgrades, ie I cant decide which companies they would be of most use for: Tank Squadron 3 Leman Russ MBTs (that look a lot like destroyer tank hunters) 3 Leman Russ Demolishers

These are slow, which often means they are a bit of a waste with mech. inf. Use them with the heavy tanks to provide extra firepower.


Griffon Battery


These definitely go with the supreme commander. He looks like your most expensive formation. You don't want the other mech. inf. company to match his point value, due to the Break Their Spirit objective.
