So has anyone actually received The Official Word about what's going on with the Forge World range?

They're not "out of scale with the existing titans", the existing titans are out of scale with the rest of epic.

There is no "official word", GW doesn't pre-announce its support or cancellation of things... they just "happen".

Once every thing is settled/decided, *THEN* they'll tell us.

Heck, the sales staff on the phone probably don't even know.

Cool. Thanks for the heads-up.  

Ah ... yes ... I forgot ... I get confused with F/Ws scales ...

Actually the Epic Miniatures are out of scale with the Titans.

Actually it's a Fantasy/Historical game set in the far future. History is clearly an enormous influence on it in a way it isn't in most other sci-fi games. Like Warhammer itself, it's history with tolkien bits tacked on along with popular culture and a certain poem from the 17th century.

Never-the-less Weapons and gear are modern/sci-fi, imbued with certain medieval superstitious elements.

Curious; what's the 'certain 17th century poem'?

Paradise Lost?

Ah fair enough, I've not read it, but maybe one day.

For sure It's Paradise Lost.

In Paradise Lost, Satan and his rebel angels makes war against Gabriel and the angels loyal to God. After some vast battles that include angels throwing hills at each other! the Son (of god) gets on his chariot and kicks the rebels out of heaven.

They fall, fall through chaos and through the gates of hell ending up on a burning lake that casts no light.

Satan wakes up and endeavours to get out. There has been talk of a world - Earth, and Satan decides he's going to mess things up there. He gets through the gates, convincing the sentries Sin and Death to let him passed and flys through the realm of chaos meeting various denizens of chaos on his way.
He enters the new world (space) and flying past various planets on his way to earth. Various angels are sent to guard earth, Adam and Eve and foil Satan's plans.

Yeah, Priestly, Ansell and Blanche read Paradise Lost alright...

Chaos most clearly comes from Michael Moorcock's novels though, where an army of warriors bearing eight-pointed stars on their shields attack a world. Everywhere these Chaos Warriors go, things start to warp and mutate...

It's stolen from both sources. The horus heresy background definitely lends fairly liberally from paradise lost though.
