In the background of the 40k Universe; how are titans actually deployed on to a planet? Are they just kicked out a cargo bay in orbit with ablative shielding, or do they have whomping BIG drop ships to deliver them to the surface?

Whomping big drop ships, if you'd like to know more about titans the book titanicus by dan abnett is a read i recommend.

Blind-

i seem to recall an odd reference to a titan drop pod somewhere. but yeah, normally they're simply massive ships

IIRC in one of the HH books an Imperator is drop podded into a swamp

That plus a pair of warlords as escort iirc!

However most of the time they're landed first and then walk to the battle zone.

If you are keen on titan v titan action (including full frontal deloyment of chaos drop ships, oeer misuss), I would recommend 'Storm of Iron' by Graham McNeill....

Crackin' read

Seconded- one of the best GW fiction books I have read.

Iron within..... Iron without!!

I've looked into it, a hard book to find. I think it is either OOP or Out of Stock.

MJ - I've just had a look on Amazon - this book is still available (1 copy for £2.68)

Worth a look

I noticed on the chapters.ca site that there is an Iron Warriors Omnibus coming out in February. It has has "Storm of Iron" as well as a novella and couple of short stories in it. So, I'll probably check that out next year.

You will do yourself a great disservice by not reading Storm or Iron.

I still think it's Graham McNeill's best book.
