That's right - screw your Imperial Knights (which aren't Titans by the way). Just a few hours ago an email came through confirming the sale of an Eldar Bright Stallion Knight made in the Armorcast era, with very limited castings, if I recall correctly it was only half a dozen or so.
Above: This isn't the model i've bought... its a good friends photo, so hope he doesn't mind me borrowing it! (Thanks Jon!). Either side of the Bright Stallion, the Towering Knight Destroyer, that Mike
Biasi designed which later became the Armorcast production version.

Whilst there are newer versions made from the most recent Wraithknight kit (which look spectacular by the way, kudos to the German lad who kitbashed them), this old cast was an upscaled version of the Epic equivalent.
Back in the day, there were three Knights on the block; The Firegale,
Towering Knight Destroyer and Bright Stallion. To my knowledge the
Firegale was never made though, sadly. One might argue that the new
Wraithknight fills that gap - and very nicely so.

In short, if this guy sees the table top, other Titans best watch their shins. Short of finding themselves hoping across the battlefield.
The story of why it is never a wise idea to accept guests of the Elven kind...
A word to the wise
"Ask not the Eldar a question, for they will give you three answers, all of which are true and terrifying to know." - Inquisitor Czevak Turns out, the answers are; "Oh, just a few days", "Our friends will be here shortly" and "We have quite the appetite".

A New Artist Emerges - The Titan Host & Thundering Skies
After 12 hours worth of discussion, idea pitching and general all round craziness, a new artist joins the fold - This time to tackle the big boys of the battlefield.
Steve, from Third Fate Creations, has been locked in and taken up the torch in a bid to bring some insane airbrushing techniques to the Warhost. So what's the list you ask? See below;
1x Armorcast Phantom Titan - To be built as a Warlock Class Battle Titan
2x Forgeworld Phantom Titans - The twin bodyguards of the ancient and revered Warlock
4x Forgeworld Revenant Titans - Two of each type, in paired formations
1x Armorcast Revenant Titan - Stumpy needs some love too (he was my first titan!)
2x Towering Destroyer Knights - To compliment the Rogue Trader Eldar (stay tuned...)
1x Vampire Hunter Super Heavy Flyer - An escort for...
2x Vampire Raider Super Heavy Flyers - The kind that make Magpies look insignificant
All up, eight titans, two knights and three super heavy flyers. No small task, sure, but one hell of a detachment when completed.
To give you an idea of the level of awesome Steve brings to the table, here are some of his amazing works of art;
* Fingers crossed Steve is ok with me posting these here! :)
Stay tuned, there's bound to be some pretty awesome WIP shots as this project gains momentum in the coming months.
