(Isn't it "Tally ho" btw? ;D ) LOL. Yes it is... when you type it correctly. Lancea does remind me of a car name, now that you mention it. But I'm still wanting to keep it, especially since they're called by their Low Gothic name more often; the Burning Lances. No, that's okay. Just thought that I would point it out. While I really love the concept of Titans (though maybe not the reality), there's not a great deal that I can offer to the very specific wargame information that is produced... But I'm learning. I even read through the wargame rules every now and again to see if I would like to restart up an interest... It just never works! (And now for some reason it reminds me of the clinical description of some STDs, so let's not go there! ;D) Why so large? Well, they come from an ancient forgeworld that has been pumping out titans on a regular basis for about twenty thousand years. Twenty thousand years!? Erm, you'll probably find that it couldn't have been older than 15,000 years (ish) and more than likely somewhere in the realm of 11-12,000 years. (E.g. the adeptus mechanicus did not form until after the beginning of the Age of Strife, and most likely would have required formalisation before sending out the first of the Fleets... Of course, some of the information is itself problematic in this regard, but that's for another thread...) being untouched and out of the spotlight in such wars lets you manufacture a lot of other stuff too, without the Imperium finding out, but that's a whole other story That's what I like to hear! A bit of flexibility! Kage

While I really love the concept of Titans (though maybe not the reality), there's not a great deal that I can offer to the very specific wargame information that is produced... Me neither, I'm afraid, since I have little knowledge of the Epic 40,000 wargame, and the fluff on Titans is remarkably inconsistent even by GW standards... Twenty thousand years!? Erm, you'll probably find that it couldn't have been older than 15,000 years (ish) and more than likely somewhere in the realm of 11-12,000 years.

Of course, some of the information is itself problematic in this regard, but that's for another thread...) Erm.... oops. Make it 12-13,000 then. Still, it's plenty of time to construct titans, no? That's what I like to hear! A bit of flexibility! I was going for conspiracy, but fair enough

Yes the name is like an Italian manufacturing company, more along the lines of a dishwasher than a car IMO!
Like the idea of titan battles on Massil, maybe I should include some info on the bases in my StdRep. I like the idea of depots in the largest cities. The fanfare etc as the Massilian PDF march to the trenches beneath the feet of a living God.
Oh by the way any more info on where Black Falls is on Massil?? I'm guessing you made it up:)

Well, after all the times people have ignored my comments on their names, I'm happy to tell you that I don't really care Well, I guess all the fortress worlds in the Castellan sub should have a small contingent of Titans permanently assigned to them. Maybe as much as six or so. Good guessing You may put Black Falls wherever you'd like, Tynesh ;D
