I liked the Epic40K Eldar titans too (and the Epic40K Ork Gargants + Imperial titans for that matter)

Well Maksim, it's you and me against the 40K Universe! :;):

Count me in as well!!

I just think the AT Eldar titans are too spindly to be waepons of war. The E40k Eldar titans at least look as if they can withstand a volley from a pea-shooter.

Unfortunately it appears that the new models are more akin to the AT ones...

:(

Cheers

James

It would be a cool "in-game" insult...

Just the concept of something being a good in-game insult nearly made me roll on the floor laughing...

And yes, the things could be more attractive.  I can't do any better though.

Hmmm... and the Eldar fans become polarized over the Titan controversy... very interesting... :L

I think the 2nd edition Revenant looks more like a Scout Titan than the drawed Revenant does. ?Maybe if the thing is tall enough, I could make it the equivalent of a Gargant or Reaver in my games.

Adrian

And before anyone says that the Phantom is the equivalent of the Reaver in cost. ?I've always felt that a Phantom was the Eldar answer to the Warlord (or is that the other way around?).

Yes, the Phantom is the Warlord equivalent, and the Revenant equals the Warhound.  No Eldar version of a Reaver ... yet (?).

Actually, the Phantom is the Reaver equivalent.  The Eldar don't have anything as tough as a Warlord titan.

Well I've had a couple games where a Phantom and a Warlord went toe-to-toe and the Phantom would come out on top thanks to its holo-fields and Pulsar Lances.

Hi!

Phantoms, like any eldar stuff, is fast and "shooty", they aren't durable, they dont stand and shoot like warlords do. Its all in their agility and spead and those damn holofields....  :;):

I received my Imperial Guard Character packs from MO this morning.

These are very nice models. ?Nothing miscast in any of the blisters, which is good.

The contents are:

2 Commissar Yarricks

3 Commissars

9 Officers (5 differing models)

3 Standard Bearers (2 differing models)

5 Sanctioned Psykers (2 differing models)

1 Ogryn

3 Vox-operators

3 Guardsmen (a funny looking model this one, has an open great coat a large hat and a lasgun, I guess you could use it as an officer if you wanted)

You get these on 6 sprues in the blister, in this way.

Sprue 1 (one per blister):

Ogryn, Standard Bearer, Officer, Officer (both officers on this sprue are quite fancy looking, I think they are meant to be Supreme Commanders)

Sprue 2 (three per blister):

Officer, Vox-operator, Psyker, Guardsman, Commissar

Sprue 3 (two per blister):

Officer, Standard Bearer, Psyker, Officer, Yarrick

This pack is great, I really like the variation of the officers, and nearly all of the models are very well done. ?

My favourite model has to be the regular Commissar. ?He has a Powerfist and Bolter, and the extra detail that has been sculpted on him (its based on the old plastic commissar) is great.

Are all the characters modeled with the steel legion breather mask?

By looking at the picture it would appear they are, can you confirm this?

Thanks for the report.

Most of them have a mask.  The only ones that don't are Yarrick and the Sanctioned Psykers.

Appreciate that. Looks like these character packs are turning out to be pretty high quality.
