While they're doing an update for Warhammer and getting plenty of armies in this year, Chapter House Studios is selling a massive 30cm tall walker for the Tau. Not only does it have two independent "rail cannons" with a 120 inch range, but six of two different missile systems.

It's like two Railheads where thrown in a blender with a Manta Titan.

Seeing as it has a $285 price tag, it will be a while until I get one of these bad-boys, but I assure you, I will get one and post pictures of the entire progress for everyone.

Has anyone else found some awesome Titans for those of us not willing to scratch-build from school supplies?

That's actually the first one that looks legit that didn't come from Forgeworld.

Part of the reason why Chapterhouse is still in cahoots with GW. It's a good fit for the aesthetics set by GW, perhaps a bit too close too home for GW. Even more so when you look at their other products.

Having bought from CH before, the price is worth it though, good quality casts.

So they're an actual business affiliate like FW is?

Sorry, used a wrong word there, no. They're fighting it out in court, well over a year and counting now. GW says CH is copying their stuff a bit too well.

FW is a subdivision of GW, like Black Library and well, that's it really. There used to be more but those were either dissolved or absorbed into GW itself.

That's great to hear, because I'm not willing to put up with GW at all, any more. I'll stick with competitors and buying 40K stuff off of eBay and the like.
Plus, I found another big unit, but for WARMACHINE, that can be crossed over easily.

Ah, the Leviathans. I know the guy who does them, nice chap, he's doing metal sci-fi Germans now to go with those. A fellow Dakka Dakka user used four of them as stand ins for various Dreadnought variants.

Could you ask him when they will have more for sale? I found the company probably a month after it hit their catalog, but all where already sold out. I just want one...

IIRC they've gone back into production.

I have no idea what IIRC means, but great news, thank you very much! Hell, if the first works out great, I should think about buying another five and do commission jobs!
