Well, a package arrived from Forge World containing some super-heavy tanks this morning. Unfortunately, however, there was no Reaver Titan inside. The packing slip says it’s on back order.

I have a horrible feeling this means that they’ll um and ah about it for a few weeks before telling me it’s been discontinued. So I’m tempted to ring them up on Monday and ask them to cancel it anyway.

The trouble is that this means that I won’t be able to include any Lucius pattern titans in the army except for a Warlord. Which leaves me wondering whether or not to get one of those. On the plus side, it’s probably the best Titan model GW have ever made (the Mars pattern Reaver and the current Eldar Revenants come joint second), and requires no converting to get the standard weapons configuration. On the minus side, it will look completely different from all the other Titans, and without the trim that is characteristic of the other Mars pattern models (the blue colour of which is one of the most distinctive aspects of the paint scheme I’ve come up with), it’ll be difficult to even use the same colour scheme on it to tie it into the rest of the army.

On the other hand, the Warhounds I won on eBay also arrived this morning, and, after a bit of work re-posing them, are looking very nice.
