..Hmm, in my new Imperial Armour book, in the ForgeWorlds list, the Iron Skulls are said to be a loyal _Imperial_ legion, home FW Metalica.. etc etc.. 
-Also, the SM2 box-set painted 'Eavy Metal example titan was an Iron Skull wa it not?

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? 
Legion Name: Legio Destructor (Beasts of Steel)
Forge World: Accatran, Ultima Segmentum
Legion Name: Legio Tempestor (Storm Lords)
Forge World: Estaban III, Ultima Segmentum
Legion Name: Legio Magna (Flaming Skulls)
Forge World: Estaban VII, Ultima Segmentum
Legion Name: Legio Astramana (Morning Stars)
Forge World: Graia, Segmentum Tempestus
Legion Name: Legio Gryphonicus (Howling Griffons)
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.
Legion Name: Legio Metalica (Iron Skulls)
Forge World: Metalica, Ultima Segmentum
Legion Name: Legio Crucius (Warmongers)
Forge World: Ryza, Segmentum Solar
Legion Name: Legio Honorum (Deathbolts)
Forge World:Stygies VII, Ultima Segmentum
Legion Name: Legio Pallidus Mor (Pale Riders)
Forge World: Tolkhan, Segmentum Tempestus
Legion Name: Legio Victorum (Foe Slayers)

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.

Hello all,
Can anyone tell me if (usign latest ork army lists from GW) if the 'free grot' you obtain for boyz in an ork warband applies to the regular boyz?
i.e. Normal bad 2 Nobz, 6 Boys & 2 grot.
Does it work like.
a) 6 Boyz and 2 grot = 4 free grot (1 per 'unallocated' boy)
b) 6 Boy and 2 grot = 6 free grot (1 per boy)
c) 6 boyz and 2 grot = NO free grot, cos they are not from the Extra's?
Cheers all, could ask on the GW forums, but I prefer to use this forum!

When you buy a warband, you get what it says - 2 Nobz, 6 boyz and 2 grotz. There are no freebies in this section.
As you said, when you buy boyz from the extras section, you are allowed extra grotz if you wish.

Shadowhunter,
That does seem reasonable by any normal 'army list' standards.
My only though is why?, if they are free and you have the ladz available to shanghai them...

It seems a little odd at first why the boyz from the warband dont get a grot stand each. I guess the reasons could be that;
A warband should be made up of Ork boyz in the majority, they are the fighting element of the Ork race, and grotz should never outnumber them.
There would be a shortage of Grot stands if they were in a ratio of 1:1 with Ork boyz.

Definitely a lot of inspiration for my Cadia project!
Cheers!
