Episode 46: Owning and Playing a 40K Titan
In this episode, we talk about Warhammer 40K Titans. We discuss why you would want to own one, each of the titans available through Forgeworld, and playing them in games of Warhammer 40K. We also talk about purchasing and building these huge models and what to do when this kit arrives at your door. Our special guest is Nick Broussard, who helps to run the Titan Owners Club.
Introduction
Nick Broussard of the Titan Owners Club.
A brief history of Imperial, Chaos, and Xenos Titans.
Why Own a Titan?
What is the appeal? What is it about them that drew you to them?
They are expensive, and take a while to build and paint, and you can’t play them in many events.
They are also not something you easily buy to win events; they are a labor of love.
