Yes, combined arms is the way to go ! And "Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance !" I also, played solo Epic SM1 went I first got it in '90, it was fun and I really learned the rules and how to use tactics within the game system ...

Hi!
I suspect many of us are playing solo games. At least we are playing epic, even if alone, it can be fun.

We are still talking epic aren't we?!?!?! 
What does everyone think on garronising formations?
I did it with my Stormboyz to help them assault the enemy. I was thinking, about maybe dropping the blitz brigade and replacing them with big gunz. That way I can get some decent shots in early on (depending upon where my objectives are in relation to the enemy of coarse).

I like garrisons for Orks. It's a good way to get that footsloggin infantry to the middle of the board. If you keep enough smaller formations to maneuver/delay, it's inevitable that your opponent will either hide all game or be forced to put a formation out in front of your nasty little mobz, leaving themselves vulnerable.
I also, in true Bad Moon fashion, love fielding big gunz.

Duuurrrr!!!!
I never really thought about garrisoning a small mob. I imagine they would be rather effective on sustained fire. I think I'll try that out too, thanks 
That would be 10 big shoota shots, with a +1 to hit. Throw in some more Nobz and there's a lot of shooty power.

Hi!
Legion4, or anyone for that matter. I think it would be possible to play a real game with figures online if both participants had high speed access, vid cam and microphone. It would be cool.

Hi all,
have any Ordinatus rules specifically for EA been published or hinted at anywhere yet? Warmaster Nice's recently published conversion (a terrific piece of work) has set me planning a pair of my own, similar in appearance but with a different approach, to accompany my standard Ordinatus Mars. Incidentally, my planned Gargant army is spawning an enemy - a heavily armoured IG/AdMech army with 2 Leman Russ-equivalent units and several support tanks.
So - do you think the Ordinatus would accompany the Titan rules? Any related news?

I would think the Ordinatus rules would accompany the titan list (the Ordinatus are Adeptus Mechanicus artifacts and weapons after all), but you would have to wait for the actual release of the AT list for the minis to be re-released or re-done.

Nope, although at least one group of fans I know is working on stats for Ordinatus Golgotha....

Great idea Vanvlak.
Warmaster Nice's recently published conversion (a terrific piece of work) |
 Thanks! 
Anyway: Yes, I think the only list likely to feature an Ordinatus would be the TL/AM list. As for models I really hope that they will be doing new ones... The old ones were weird machines (as they should be) but quite frankly not very attractive.
I guess you could borrow the weapon stats for the Armageddon from the Plasma annihilator on the Imperator Titan. ...Can't really remember if anybody has come up with stats for the miss?les on the Warmonger titan but they would make a good start for the Ordinatius Golgotha. The Sonic disruptor of the Mars is a bit more tricky...
The veichle itself could be something like
Speed 15 cm Armour 5+ CC6+ FF5+ DC3 and a couple of void shields. Give it some secondary defence systems like bolters. I don't know if it should have additional Reinforced armour or thick rear armour... After all the Ordinatus was as good as invulnerable during the first couple of turns in SM/TL...
Cheers!

Thanks for the suggestions Warmaster - and I hope you realise this army is ALL your fault - and that fantastic conversion of yours.

I have one of each of these models and I like them. They are deployed with my Titans and Scutarii/Tech Guard.

At the back of the rulebook in the collectors models section, is specifies that a new Capitol Imperialis wont be released until 2005! ?Please dont tell me we dont have to wait this long for Adeptus Mechanicus stuff. ?
