all too true L4- "hooks" I think they are called. Adding just enough flavour to pique your interest, then nothing.
And they work, damn their eyes!

Incoming! would be a good place to submit it too.
As for webspace, your best bet is to ask Cybershadow or myself for an FTP account then you have a central location to collate the information without relying on a third party.

From EOT Codex:Known Traitor Legio Titanicus
Death's Heads
DEATH STALKERS
Fire Masters
IRON SKULLS
Legio Vulcanum I & II
Since Iron Skulls _IS_ the nickname for Legio Metallica I'm frankly puzzled. 
One traitor legion mentioned in the Horus Heresy rulebook fluff is Warped Dogs. "Defence lasers blasted many renegade ships from the sky, sending thousands of tons of fused metal death raining down onto the ground below. [...] The vessel of the Warped Dogs was vapourised and that Titan Legion's name passed into history."

Yep. Some of the traitor legions changed their names, though. It's possible that a legion adopted the Iron Skulls name after converting to chaos.
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

Wasn't Legio Metallica the legion that fought Orks too often and was primarily armed with CC and short ranged weapons charging in blaring heavy metal?
If so - they really need to be more inventive with the names...

From IA "Iron Warriors": Legio supporting IW seiges are often fitted with Corvus assualt pods and utilised as seige towers in support of the assault and breaching units
From "Storm of Iron": Legio Ignatum's FW is Mars
Are you including the names of know Titans and what Legio they belong to as well? I'll skim out the Titans names from the novel if you are.

Mojarn: ?Many thanks. ?I'm going to include the following note about duplicate names after the Traitor Legion table:
"...Possible explanations for this include: ?legions which split during the Heresy, the new Orders are very tradition oriented and revived the names so as to be the "true" legion, several traitor legions are known to have changed their names and may have duplicated loyalist names"
Tas: ?Unless they are particularly noteworthy (like the Legio Crucius Imperator destroyed fighting chaos) I'm not adding individual titan names right now. ?That might be a good project for the future.
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.

It's on Yahoo epic and epicA.
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.

The Fanatic site has posted a pic of the Warhound painted, and even if I painted it in colors that I like, I still think the model blows. So disappointing. Hell, I LOVE the new Eldar Phantom compared to this model.
You know, each Epic system has had it's own styles because of the different sculpters, and I think it was Tim Adock?? or whomever that did most of the Epic40k minis and I don't think the Specialist range will top them in terms of quality and variance. I mean, you could make many Leman Russ variants and now those days are gone. Yes I know Jervis is doing the best he can with what he's got, but this Warhound sucks. I am not crazy about the Drop ship either although I like the concept. The only thing I am sold on right now is the new Land Raider, but we knew what we were getting. It is such a shame GW is putting their best sculpters behind Epic because I think we'd be getting much better stuff.
