-----> Call me cranky, curmudgeonly, or whatever, but I had a real
problem
with these things. Yeah, they look cool enough, but for a while we had a
plague
of people wanting to actually use them in 40K. The Cannons of Khorne,
the Falcons
etc. OK- normal tank/artillery sized stuff I can deal with, but the
super-heavies and the
titans are far more suited as TERRAIN than as part of your army. For one
thing,
the scale is off- they should have been a lot bigger. Number 2, How
often in your Epic
games did a some infantry stands and maybe 1 or 2 tanks take out a
reaver? Really
now...? I can see a 40K battle to "defend" a crippled titan, or take the
wreckage
of a fallen titan, or to hold off an aasault while a titan is busy
blasting something
"way over dere", but "Your 3000 pts of orks vs my titan and assorted
support" is
just wrong in 40K.
Did like "Chuk"'s closing comments - that's about all they're good for
IMO,
and that "all miniatures" comment is good. "Ok, let me pull my VW bug in
here,
and that's my Capitol Imperialis." Heck, if they wanna get nuts, put
some
trashcans on your legs, and your cityscape table on your back, and go
"look - I'm
an Imperator".
