I have eight different titan weapons and a head, which I don’t think were ever officially released, or at least not seen in White Dwarf and might be quite rare, I’m not sure. They were for the Mark II Warlord Titan and some of them look really good, particularly the powerfist.

I’m keeping the rest but am looking to ebay the Corvus Assault Pod  (probably will ebay it rather than trade just as have literally no idea what it is worth) – I prefer the older more gothic style one myself, though this one does look more functional and realistic and could be perfect for a newer style Warlord or Reaver.



I was just wondering does anyone have any more information about these? Or know of any photos online of titans with them? I've looked for them on Solegends and the Unreleased Epic wiki but they don't seem to be there.

My titans:

I'm not completely sure, but I think they were sheduled to be released around the same time as the Eldar Exodites, X-vehicles and ork Fighta Bommerz when plans to discontinue SM2/TL emerged. Only the Fighta Bommerz made it to the new E40k release in 1997.

I remember seeing them when the GW US archives were still open. Like with so many other things I really wish I'd gotten some. Some of them are actually quite nice.

Nope. As mentioed they were available for a few years back when the GW US online store had an archive bitz service running. Back then you could get all those nice unreleased goodies: PSI titan parts, dropships, exodites etc. that sell for insane ammounts on Ebay nowadays. Losing those archives weere a huge blow IMO (Although paying to have the stuff shipped across the pond and then paying customs and VAT made it a somewhat expensive resource)

What Warmaster Nice said really, I ordered £90 worth of epic models trans-Atlantically just before the archive shut.

I was actually working for GW at the time, but I needn’t have been and it was just part-time at the Hull store while studying my philosophy degree. It was Tac Com of the time that alerting me to the models availability and that it was soon to end, so I basically typed in ‘Epic’ into the search box of the US MO site and trawled through everything they had.

I picked up 70 odd Exodites, a Psi-Titan, these bits and grab bags of metal parts I thought I might need for most armies. Got them at staff discount at a tiny fraction of retail too, it was worked out based on the weight of the models – great for epic ones! Course, now I wish I’d ordered several times more, particularly of certain bits – both for my own use and to sell/trade; the mark up from a few pennies for an Exodite to the current price they sell for is quite a lot! And it was a bit of a shock to get a customs tax request for more than the order as a whole had cost me, but when I point this out they reduced it down to a much lower sensible amount lol

I'm sure others must have them, particularly those in the US and I'm sure Legion4 will.

As requested:

If the missile launcher / barrage missile (it’s the only one I’m a little unsure of exactly what weapon it is) on the top right looks a little bent it’s because it’s a two-part piece blu-tacked together.

Will do - just to make sure it is just the Corvus Assault Pod I'm getting rid of, I'm keeping the rest for my own Titan Legion.

Though that saddens me, I would still be interested in the assault pod.

Sorry Silentbob! I had mentioned in my first post but you must have missed it, I've gone back and made in bold and underlined to try not to disappoint others. I'll list it at some point in the next few days to a week I expect and will definitely have a thread here and let you know.

Heh, dont worry about it. I did know, but I had hope. I am an optimist in a "please take my money" way.   :cool:
