New Eldar and Chaos lists up in the Vault!  Haven't checked out the Eldar list yet, but the Chaos list is pretty good, even though they cut the Lost and the Damned cult list out, to form its own list in the future.  The Chaos list is simpler and more streamlined, easier to use.  Plus, Chaos versions of the Reaver and Warhound! :)

my 2cents,

Yeah , that would be sweet.  Chaos Titans in metal!  'Course we have to wait till 2006 for the Black Legion and 2010(!!) for the Lost and the Damned.  sigh.

Just curious if anyone has tried the Titan Army List?

If so, what did you think?

I've played a couple titan games.  I think it's an okay list.

I still think it lacks character, being a hodgepodge of lots of different Adeptus Titanicus stuff rather than just a titan legion.

I think both the titan and gargant lists are going to be quite challenging to balance for a tournament game.  Large WEs are difficult for most armies to deal with.  One in an army is okay.  Two or more is bound to cause problems and I'm not sure that it's anything that can be solved.

Of course that depends on how you define "titan legion." Is it supposed to be a group of titans only or is it a bunch of titans plus infantry/vehicles/artillery? I know this topic has been heavily debated on GW's forum.

Interesting. I am glad we went the way we did though. With Epic loosing ground and heading down the tubes, this way maybe rules for many of those units and formations will become offical before it goes dorment again.  :L

Good point, dafrca. I hadn't thought about it like that. You're right, some official rules are better than none. I just hope everyone's pessimism (including my own) about the fate of epic is wrong. It sure would be nice to have new AT rules before epic once more falls into GW oblivion.

I look at it like this. It seems to be cyclic, so I will ride the wave and get what I can when the wave goes down.  :L

My post probably sounded unduly harsh.  I should be more clear.
=======

What I object to is the inclusion of Titans AND Ordinati AND Knights, not minor support units.

Each of those kinds of units is characterful enough to support its own distinct list.  A small amount of inter-support would be fine.  Allowing all of them to be a substantial portion of the army list puts their distinct feels into competition, resulting in an unfocused and muddled list.

And if those three units weren't enough to water down the character of the list, it also packs in the Capital Imperialis.

I would greatly prefer separate TL, AM (Ordinati), and Knight Household lists.  The CI could be put into a new IG list, possibly Cadian for instance.  I believe that would give a much crisper, cleaner flavor to units that really deserve the full treatment.

I understand the argument for "get it now before it's gone" but I'd rather have quality at the risk of not having an official use for some units.  I think the Fan Squat list for EA, not to mention the tremendous job on NetEpic, is clear evidence that this community can come up with really good "unofficial" rules to use those models.
