Hi chaps, my first post here.
Yes, when I was on it briefly a year ago (or maybe it was another Epic
list, I don't know) there were virtual shedloads of mail- that's why I
unsubscribed.

Tips:
Don't use missile launcher chaps for tactical squads, I got 5 units from
2 boxes that way.
Use Chaplains, Medics etc. as Sergeants.
For the left-over bike: Put a bit of kak where the third bike should be,
paint it nicely, add smoke and Bingo! A burning wreck.

Ha! Ha! TAPES as bikes! I don't have many miniatures for Warhammer
Fantasy Orcs & Gobbos, so I use BITS OF PAPER! Honestly, people these
days, they don't know they're born.

We just used as many stands as we could find, old or new, and wrote on a
bit of paper 'The Reaver Titan is a Captain' etc. (well, the Titan
wasn't really a captain, but you get the point).
