Has Pixelgeek shut down his recently formed mailing list? Just wondering cos I am getting a sudden influx of new members. We are up to 268 members now.... kinda odd. |

First, the links. =========== Armocast provides a list of sources on their site from when they had the GW license: http://www.armorcast.com/warhammer40k/PaintingTips.html Pics from Armorcast’s studio are here: http://www.armorcast.com/warhammer40k/painting/ Their text list from their Inquisitor pub with the info presumably consolidated from the sources in the first link: http://www.armorcast.com/inquisitor/archive/number14/ ======= Scott Shupe's Eye of Terror page (now static) also has a link for heresy era titan banners that could help with logos and color schemes. ?I believe these are from the old Battle Titans boxed set. http://home.earthlink.net/~sshupe/EPIC/banners.html ============ From Citadel Journals: http://www2.vigyan.com/ilibrar....Legions Burning Stars/Suns of Damnation (pre/post heresy names, Tzeentch, no color scheme stated, Princeps Skylok) Silver Scythes/Festering Death (pre/post heresy, Nurgle, no colors, Princeps Bubonis) =========== There is a knight house that fell to Slaanesh during the seige of Terra and which started the Slaanesh knight daemon engines, but there seems to be no additional detail. ?Sorry, no link. =========== Also, feel free to post any links you guys think are relevant. I'll post my list that consolidates all the sources I could find once I get it formatted for text. I think we could also probably work on a list of home-grown titan legions once I get the official GW stuff up. ?I know I would be interested in what's out there. CS: ?Would you be so kind as to pin this? It also occurs to me that this might be better placed in the Background section. I'll leave it to your capable moderator hands to decide whether to move it or not. |

Legio Honorum’s nickname listed as Deathbolts in Imperial Armor, but the legions have differing details. Legio Ignatium– alternate spelling in official materials. Legio Metalica – alternate spelling in official materials. Legio Victorum’s forge world was listed as Triplex Phall in Imperial Armor, but previous sources list it as Galatia along with considerable detail Ordo Reductor is an Order of the Adeptus Mechanicus which maintains siege dreadnoughts. It has been labeled as Demi-Legio, but I believe that’s an error |

Traitor Titan Legions (considerably less information is available) =============== Legion: Death Stalkers Emblem: Colors: Princeps: Forge World: Notes: Sources: EOT Codex Legion: Festering Death Emblem: Colors: Princeps: Forge World: Notes: Nurgle, Silver Scythes Legion before Heresy, Princeps Bubonis (character) Sources: CJ9 Legion: Fire Masters Emblem: Flames in Hexagon Colors: Orange, Yellow, Grey Princeps: Forge World: Notes: Sources: AT, Battle Titans box Legion: Flaming Skulls Emblem: Flaming horned skull Colors: Red to yellow blend, yellow carapace with black/red tiger stripes Princeps: Forge World: Notes: Khorne Sources: Codex Titanicus, 1st Edition Legion: Iron skulls Emblem: Colors: Princeps: Forge World: Notes: Battle of Inlex Salient Sources: EOT Codex Legion: Legio Mortis (Death’s Heads) Emblem: Horned skull Colors: Black, red and white trim Princeps: Forge World: Notes: Breached Emperor’s palace during Horus Heresy, now in Eye of Terror, also fought on Paramar and Tallarn, scoured Istvaan III Sources: AT, 1st Edition, TL Codex Titanicus, 2nd Edition Legion: Legio Vulcanum I Emblem: Colors: Yellow, dark green, black Princeps: Forge World: Stygies VIII Notes: Beaten by Eldar into Eye of Terror Sources: AT, TL Codex Titanicus, 2nd Edition Legion: Legio Vulcanum II Emblem: Colors: Yellow, dark green, black Princeps: Forge World: Stygies VIII Notes: Beaten by Eldar into Eye of Terror Sources: AT, TL Codex Titanicus, 2nd Edition Legion: Legio Vulturum Emblem: Colors: Silver, white, black Princeps: Forge World: Notes: Sources: AT Legion: Storm Lords Emblem: Colors: Blue, grey, black/white check trim Princeps: Forge World: Notes: Sources: Codex Titanicus, 1st Edition Legion: Suns of Damnation Emblem: Colors: Princeps: Forge World: Notes: Tzeentch, Burning Stars Legion before Heresy, Princeps Skylok (character) Sources: CJ10 Legion: Tiger Eyes Emblem: Cat’s eye Colors: Yellow, white, green Princeps: Forge World: Notes: Sources: AT, Battle Titans box Legion: Warped Dogs Emblem: Colors: Princeps: Forge World: Notes: Legion vaporized when transport ship crash during siege of Terra Sources: Horus Heresy board game ============ Note that some of the Traitor Titan Legions share nicknames with the current loyalist Orders. Possible explanations for this include: legions which split during the Heresy, the new Imperial Orders are very tradition oriented and revived the names so as to be the “true” legion, traitor legions are known to have changed their names and may have duplicated loyalist names. |

I believe he's referring to the yahoo group, not this board Primarch. That being correct, I noticed it too. In fact, I approved another 4 just now. THe numbers of new members has shot through th eroof, and yet we've had very little traffic.

Nope. He didn't. He just posted an odd message that YG now don't allow public access to the files area. I don't see a problem at all. Somebody wants to get the files = he/she has to join. Simple equation. If people are reclutant to giving away their personal data, they can create an e-mail account using false name and adress and then in the very same way use this account to register on YG. |

About 15 people in two days... I mean it is a good thing, but I am curious as too why. It is like the infamous tale of Incoming! Issue #9 it is so popular it overshadows ever other issue consistantly and it is like 6 months old now. Only new issues ever beat it's ranking and then the next month it is number one again :S. |

I've been referring people here from the playtest group. There was a recent thread about paint stripping, and I referenced the pinned thread in the painting section. There was another issue where it came up, too, but I've blanked. I think it was about limited run miniatures. If the traffic hasn't increased, I expect it's probably people coming to check out specific stuff that was mentioned and possibly lurk. Hope that's not a problem
