Iluvitar (and other intrested peeps), I've attached the 0.4 test run for the Lugganath on this link here-> Lugganath 0.4.

Exodites are gone. In retrospect, it would have been too much on one list.

I left the Knights, but changed their stats so that they would be closer to the stats on the Swordwind supplement. ?Making them identical would be a mistake (IMO) for a couple of reasons:
1. They were most likely written up in Swordwind 'off the cuff' from the looks of things.
2. I wanted the list to be more in line with AMTL and that required them being more competitive.

So, pick away at it. ?I'm not sure on the point costs still, but they are getting closer.

Also, are there other Epic lists that are Anargo Sector specific? ?Just thinking ahead on the development...

Ah this kick ass a lot! You really have to post it on our new forums. Its a great new thing to include in our wargaming section!

Chroma · **Posted:** Tue Feb 06, 2007 11:28 pm

Hey Moscovian, looks interesting!

I still think you need to give "ghostly" names to the other Titans, like "Spectre" or "Wraith" to go with Phantom and Revenant.

Keep up the good work!

BTW. Any suggestions on how to model these different types of Titans?

illuvitar · **Joined:** Sat Apr 08, 2006 3:08 am **Posts:** 761

first i'd like to say it looks really good as a whole, cleaner without the exodites. i'd also like to second chroma's name change suggestion.
on the sentry titan the d-cannon are 4 bp for both right ? otherwise it's way too much i think.

Moscovian · **Posted:** Wed Feb 07, 2007 2:33 pm

Wow, good q's.

Names - I am totally flexible on the names. ?Post what y'all think would be the best names for each and I'll try to incorporate the community's ideas. ?For the sake of simplicity, however, I'll still call them by their present list names until I change them.

Sentry Titan - I screwed up and put in the total of 4BP. ?I will correct on the next iteration but YES it is supposed to be 2 BP per cannon, totalling 4BP. ? :blush:

?

Models - You will like this (at least I do). ?With the exception of the Magnate, these titans in my mind already exist. ?There are several older versions of models and I think they can all represent these classifications of Titans. ?I pulled pics from epicollector's site as a reference. ?With a few tweaks here and there they would look very cool.
Ex. Warden Titan: I got all my bits in the mail already. I'll be using 40k Wraithlord fists to kit-bust the 'Phantom Titan 3'/new Warden titan into having two powerfists.

The idea is to have the Lugganath easy to build based on existing models.

The Magnate I see as a Centaur type. ?I've got the pieces for this one too - it's just a matter of time before I get it modeled out.

How do the point costs look?

I did forget to mention (but it should have certainly been) the Gate of Vaul was a direct 'snip' from Chroma's list. I had mulled over the idea but couldn't figure out a good mechanism for it. When Chroma did up his work I read it and the light went off for me... THAT was how it should work.
Just giving credit where it is due. Thank you to my neighbor to the North.

Hey, thanks for the "shout out"! *laugh*

Yeah, I set up the "Gate of Vaul for my Yme-Loc Craftworld grav-tank heavy experimental list.

If anyone is interested, it can be cound here.

There have also been some BatReps over in the other Eldar section.

What is the exact difference between the Lugganath and Yme-Loc lists? They both seem to focus on Titans.

Yme-Loc focuses on grav-tanks as Warhosts and Titans as strong back-up, where Lugganath is, essentially, *Titan* Warhosts with support.

With Lugganath you could have a whole Titan army and with Yme-Loc you could have a whole grav-tank army.

They are similar in that they focus on Eldar armour, but they play quite differently.

Hey Moscovian, we just opened up our new forums (the one you posted your list on) and reopened your discussion too! Would be great to see some debate happening there. And also more epic stuff

Join the madness here

Eldar Titan Clan background from Codex Titanicus

Eldar do not have Titan Orders like Humans - each of the vast Eldar craft worlds has a number of Titan Clans (Eldar: Fir Caurifel which provide their Titan forces. Each Titan Clan is headed by a High Council (Rhiaghlaidh Caurifel) made up of the heads of the Families which make up the Clan, and the inifinity circuits from all the Clan's Titans. A Titan force which is put into the field will come from a single Clan - invariably from a single Family within that Clan - and in the Campaign Game you will assume the role of the Ardathricainn, the head of the family.

Fir Iolarion (Eagles Born Of Fire) Background from Codex Titanicus

The Fir Iolarion - Eagles Born of Fire - were almost completely destroyed four centuries ago when they lost control of the warp gates onboard their craft world, Lugannath (sic), allowing the Daemons of the warp to enter and attack them. For many years the clan drifted helplessly in space while they laboured to make the necessary repairs; stranded, and with their numbers severely depleted by the creatures in their midst, they were reduced to being one of the weakest Eldar clans.

Over time however, thanks only to their own unrelenting and steadfast efforts, they have not only regained the power they once had, but have exceeded it tenfold. Their almost total obliteration is now regarded by their leaders as a baptism of fire.

In the months after their warp gate accident, the Iyanden Craft World sent Eldar troops to nearby systems to gather materials for repairs. On the Ordk world of Gragnar they located a lake of liquid copper vital to the restabilisation of their warp gates. Although their operations to drain the lake were constantly hampered by attacks from Ork Gargants, the presence of the Fir Iolarian Phantoms meant they were able to get the metal they required without sustaining heavy losses.

The clan symbol is a phoenix rising from the flames and the titans are shown as being bronze with deep royal blue for the main armour plates.

Codex Titanicus Weapon Descriptions

Eldar use three distinctive weapons on their Titans: the pulse laser, the distortion cannon and the induction field projector.

Pulse Laser
The pulse laser, or pulsar, is used exclusively by Eldar Titans. No other race has teh required level of technology to make such a weapon.

The pulse laser is a very heavy weapon. It fires a burst of rapid laser pulses. Roll to hit once; a successful roll to hit means that the target has been caught by a burst. Roll a D6 to see how many times the target has been hit. Separate damage level and hit location rolls are made for each damaging hit.

Pulse Lasers vs Vehicles
When firing on vehicles, Pulse Lasers offer two options:

-fire on a single vehicle, rolling once to hit and rolling a D6 to determine how many shots from the volley hit the vehicle;

-place the 6cm burst circle where desired within the weapon's range and fire arc, and roll to hit each vehicle covered by the burst circle. Each vehicle may only be hit once.

Pulse Laser vs Infantry
When a Pulse Laser fires on an infantry target, place the 6cm burst circle where desired within the weapon's range and fire arc, and roll to hit each infantry stand covered by the burst circle. Each stand may only be hit once.

Distortion Cannon
The distortion cannon, or D-cannon, is an exotic heavy weapon, particular to the Eldar. It operates using the same principle as a spacecraft's warp drive, displacing the target into warp space and then back again, usually with fatal results.

A D-cannon takes some time to set up and fire, and may only be fired with first fire orders. In addition it does not receive the usual +1 modifier to hit - first fire orders are a necessity rather than a luxury, and give the crew no extra aiming time.
