Well, my AMTL army for Epic is now fully under-way. This afternoon I successfully bid on eBay for three old-style Warhound Titans, all of them armed with Vulcan Mega-bolters and Plasma Blastguns. I’m also ordering a Reaver Titan from Forge World, which it seems is still available for the time being.

Which, combined with the Imperator and Knights I already have, will mean that I have a 3,000 point army already:

Of course, I suspect this would be a fairly lousy army. With only five activations in total, it’s inflexible even by AMTL standards, and the only AA-weapon is the Imperator’s defence laser (which is very powerful, but only gets the one shot against each squadron). Still it’s a decent start, especially since I’ll also have a couple more formations not used in that 3000 (another Warhound and another formation of Knights. Next addition will probably be some aircraft (a couple of Thunderbolts will help with the weak air cover), followed by a standard-configuration Reaver and hopefully a plastic beetle-back Warlord. After that, a couple more Reavers and a Lucius-pattern Warlord. The Reavers’ weapons fits will depend on what weapons I get with the Warlord, and on what I can convert. Two Quake Cannons and a Carapace Landing Pad would definitely make a vicious artillery platform, while a Melta Cannon, Power Fist and Rocket Launcher would make for an intimidating assault beast. But I’ll have to see.

EDIT: Hmm. I think these Aircraft Punisher Cannons from Forge World would make good Gatling Blasters. I wonder whether the Burst Cannons from Tau XV25 Stealth Suits would work as the basis for Quake Cannons. I’d need to take the four barrels off the end to make it look like one huge gun, but I think it could work. Now I just need to come up with a Carapace Landing Pad.

After that, the army will be over 7,000 points, and I’ll probably call it done for now. After that, who knows? I might see about expanding my Eldar or Chaos armies a bit, or I might make a start on some Imperial Guard.
