From EOT Codex:Known Traitor Legio Titanicus
Death's Heads
DEATH STALKERS
Fire Masters
IRON SKULLS
Legio Vulcanum I & II
Since Iron Skulls _IS_ the nickname for Legio Metallica I'm frankly puzzled. 
One traitor legion mentioned in the Horus Heresy rulebook fluff is Warped Dogs. "Defence lasers blasted many renegade ships from the sky, sending thousands of tons of fused metal death raining down onto the ground below. [...] The vessel of the Warped Dogs was vapourised and that Titan Legion's name passed into history."

Yep. Some of the traitor legions changed their names, though. It's possible that a legion adopted the Iron Skulls name after converting to chaos.
I think the Imperial Armor is the only source I don't have covered at this point. Can someone give me the rundown it has in there, please?

As I promised. However, it's not much. Just a list of Forge Worlds with the name of Titan Legion plus what segmentum they're located in. 
Like I said earlier, Flaming Skulls and Storm Lords are not listed as taraitors any more. Maybe new legions have been founded and given the old name?

Forge World: Accatran, Ultima Segmentum
Legion Name: Legio Tempestor (Storm Lords)
Forge World: Estaban III, Ultima Segmentum
Legion Name: Legio Magna (Flaming Skulls)

Legion Name: Legio Astramana (Morning Stars)

Forge World: Gryphonne IV, Segmentum Tempestus
Legion Name: Legio Astorum (Warp Runners)
Forge World: Lucius, Segmentum Obscuras
Legion Name: Legio Ignatum (Fire Wasps)
Forge World: Mars, Segmentum Solar. Also home to two other legions, which are classified.

Wasn't Legio Metallica the legion that fought Orks too often and was primarily armed with CC and short ranged weapons charging in blaring heavy metal?
If so - they really need to be more inventive with the names...

From IA "Iron Warriors": Legio supporting IW seiges are often fitted with Corvus assualt pods and utilised as seige towers in support of the assault and breaching units
From "Storm of Iron": Legio Ignatum's FW is Mars
Are you including the names of know Titans and what Legio they belong to as well? I'll skim out the Titans names from the novel if you are.

Mojarn: ?Many thanks. ?I'm going to include the following note about duplicate names after the Traitor Legion table:
"...Possible explanations for this include: ?legions which split during the Heresy, the new Orders are very tradition oriented and revived the names so as to be the "true" legion, several traitor legions are known to have changed their names and may have duplicated loyalist names"
Tas: ?Unless they are particularly noteworthy (like the Legio Crucius Imperator destroyed fighting chaos) I'm not adding individual titan names right now. ?That might be a good project for the future.
I think that's going to be the end of what I find for now. ?I'll update my info and talk to Cybershadow about a good place to post it. ?I'll probably post it to the Epic yahoo groups, too.

It's on Yahoo epic and epicA.
I tried to past the link, but every time I did, some sort of auto-formatting messed up the link. Here's the link to the files page on epic.

I think this was in the Moderator thread, but I thought it would fit better in its own. Jervis answered my question about the release order. Eldar will be the first release after the core.
New races will be covered in 'campaign supplements' that will be around 64pp long. For the Eldar the supplement will be called Epic: Swordwind. The campaign pack will introduce provide general background for the Eldar, then list Eldar units and new Guard/Ork/Marine units, then provide campaign background for the scouring of an Imperial planet by Biel-Tann Craftworld. Army lists based on this background will be provided for Eldar, Guard (Death Korps of Krieg), Marines (a 'non-Codex' Chapter, not sure which yet!)and Orks (feral). This mirrors the format used in the Epic:Armageddon rulebook itself, and will set the template for the way that we go about bringing out Epic supplements in future.
He also noted that the Nids will still be done to correspond with the 40K Nids release next summer, so that certainly implies that both Eldar and Nids will be out by the end of next summer, several months sooner than previously announced.
It makes me a bit nervous when releases are actually moved up, rather than pushed back, but that's the word.

That is the plan as I know it, but there will be longer waits for further releases. after those two, we're loking at 6-9 months
Its going to be two years before I get a chance to better my rushed attempts on those chaos bikes  _________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.
