This is one of the metal Epic Great Ork Gargants.
I got this when Space Marine came out in 1989, but only really got it on the gaming table with Epic 40000. I know most Epic players don’t like Epic 40000, but it is my personal favourite of all the Epic games produced by Games Workshop.

This is one of the original plastic Epic Warlord Titans that were originally made for Adeptus Titanicus. It has the Chaos head and red eyes, though in the main I used it as an Imperial Titan when playing games of Epic.
This beautifully painted Reaver Titan was part of a huge demonstration game at GamesDay 2009.
It’s very well painted and I quite like the firing effects that have been added to the main weapons, as well as the missiles launching from the top missile launcher.
There are some lovely details on this model, for example note the shell casings been ejected from the left arm weapon.

On my website I have a gallery devoted to the Space Wolves. The pictures predominantly show Mike Sharpe’s superb Space Wolves army, which was on show at GamesDay 2006, GamesDay 2007 and GamesDay 2008.
As well as lots of Space Wolves he also had a fair few Titans when the army was displayed at GamesDay 2008.
This was one of his Reaver Titans.
The army as a whole is very impressive, but as you might expect painting such a large number of models, there isn’t a huge amount of detailing on the titan.

This was the kind of thing that I felt was missing from GamesDay 2010.
Forge World have in their most recent newsletter given details on how you can pre-order the Eldar Phantom Titan.
Tall, elegant and devastating in battle, the Phantom Titan is the largest known Eldar Titan. It is swift and agile in comparison to the lumbering behemoths of the Legio Titanicus, and is armed with some of the deadliest examples of Eldar weaponry.
Each Phantom is the pinnacle of Eldar warcraft. Linked to a wraithbone core containing the living spirit of its previous pilots, the single crewman of each Phantom Titan, known as a Steersman, is an Exarch dedicated to this aspect of warfare. Locked in a trance-like state, the Steersman’s consciousness merges with the spirit-sentience of the Titan, enabling the mighty war machine to react and manoeuvre with astonishing speed.
The Phantom Titan, designed by Will Hayes and featuring interior detail sculpted by Simon Egan, is most commonly armed with at least one immense Phantom Pulsar, a long range and rapid-firing energy weapon far superior to anything sanctioned by the Adeptus Mechanicus.
The Phantom’s other primary weapon is often a Phantom D-Cannon. Much larger and more powerful than similar technology used by the Cobra or Warp Hunter, it tears a seething warp-rift in the fabric of reality to engulf and utterly destroy its foe. As well as these primary weapons, the Phantom is armed with shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft and anti-personnel missile launchers as well as an additional heavy weapon, usually a long-barrelled Star Cannon or Pulse Laser.
Adeptus Mechanicus logis-engines also record other primary weapons systems that have been encountered in the long history of conflict between the Imperium and the Eldar. Will Hayes will be turning his talented attention to these for future releases.
Full technical information and background for the Phantom Titan will be provided in Imperial Armour Volume 11: The Doom of Mymeara and you can download experimental rules for this majestic war machine courtesy of the Forge World Book Design team.
The Phantom Titan Body, Pulsar Arm and D-Cannon Arm are available to pre-order now for despatch in the week commencing 26th April.
No I am not going to buy one, don’t do Eldar. But I am impressed with the quality of the model and the work that went into it.
