Back in the beginning of the game (Adeptus Titanicus) the titan
blisters used to have little freebe minis included in the blister.
The reaver had usually some IG with a Las cannon turret, or some metal
space marines.
The orc's battle fortresses had an orc pulling his pants down with a
metal wartrakk;
The termites had a spacemarine armed thudd gun.
 + others I know that are out there, although, I can't say what
blister they are with.

If it is an old blister with the word TITAN or TITANS on the blister,
there is a good chance that they have little freebe minis. I believe
it was a decorative measure GW used, so you could put them on the
titan's base to represent scale and "realism".

I recently obtained several old miniatures, and among them were some
metal
Epic-scale Space Marines, Eldar, a SM on a bike wielding a
(chain)sword, a
SM with a Mole Mortar, A Thudd Gun and an Eldar Lascannon with
gunners.
They are quite badly cast and not very detailed. Dirk Vormann
mentioned in
the 'Old metal order codes' that a metal eldar jetbike was available
too.

I would like to know which other miniatures were avaliable in that
category
(I believe that they were randomly inserted in the blisters at that
time, as
I have a drop pod blister with a Thudd Gun, but no second Thudd Gun,
while I
have enough drop pods to fill a second blister). I could not find
any
reference of them in the Space Marine rules/Armies of the
Imperium/Titan
Legions books, but I had a reference in an Adeptus Titanicus advert,
of
which I mailed the order codes a few days ago.

Just being curious...
