Necrons don't lack titans - they've got their C'tan that are basically titanic in power and could easily go up against Warlords and Imperators; and their huge Obilistics which are easily comparable to Knights (if not one to several knights). They also have a new spider titan being released by FW this year.
Tau have a huge couple of big mechs on FW which are, again, easily comparable to knights and I'd wager Tau would easily scale up to have titan scale weapons. Heck the biggest thing FW makes is a Tau super heavy transport ship.
The only faction that lacks any kind of titan is Dark Eldar; though technically they could "steal" them from the Eldar; however they'd be the only faction that would need totally new stuff to be made.
That said if the titan game goes well then I'd wager we'd see all the Xenos get new stuff in titan scale to suit.

The discussion has been tht once they're done with the Horus Heresy period, they might move on to Adeptus Titanicus: The Beast Arises, which would introduce Ork Gargants (and presumably Stompas). Then another supplement adding Eldar titans (and Wraithknights?).
One thing Andy Hoare mentioned as the sort of thiung he'd like to do would be the Imperial "precursor" design to the old Slaaneshi scout titans and knights:
http://www.solegends.com/citcat1995-6/cat19956p152-00.htm
They'd also mentioned that some of the old configurations of Warlord and Reaver (Nightgaunt, Death Bringer, Eclipse and Nemesis, Gun, Goth and Vandal) might become distinct classes of battle titan.
I'd like to see Tau introduce an aerospace expansion - let them use the Manta and Tigershark as they were intended - as anti-titan platforms, without needing to just give them the same as everyone else.

There have been rumblings that if they were to release Gargants and other Ork units, GW would consider using the War of the Beast background. Tyranid Bio Titans could be part of any of the Hive fleet invasions. Especially ones that hit Mechanicus worlds. But are there any notable conflicts where the Eldar used large numbers of there Titans against those of another race?

Well Eldar have had titans in Titan Legions and Epic 40K and have several from FW so I'd say yes. Sure they don't have as many fights as the other factions; but the Eldar do have them and i'm sure there are several cases in the lore of massive fights with them appearing on the battlefield. Graceful, alien and deadly!

no but with ten thousand years of history there's plenty of room for them to add in stuff. find some sort of battle that's been mentioned in a single line somewhere and expand on it.

Eldar were referenced in the original AT - they fought against Horus - and made ti clear thats all they were doing.

Aye, they were. The Eldar are easy to bring in - the battle on Stygies VIII where the Eldar turned up to give Legios Vulcanum I and II a good kicking.

I hope duncan and peachy are ready to deliver a bunch of guides, painting buildings, mortis/gryphonicus/tempestus armor and so on.
I hope Tempestus get a transfer sheet, it's weird they get rules in the book but little to no artwork of them in the book, also no transfers or any representation in this release. Truly an odd choice, Mortis would have been preferable. I really like the Tempestus look, but the lack of transfers and the excessive checker patterns makes them unappealing to me.

I agree Mortis would have been best, heck me? I would have gone with rules for 3 legions, Mortis, Tempestus and Ignatium, and focused on the inital battles on Mars.

The Storm Lords were the legion that split in two, weren't they? Paint both titans up as that legion, and you can use them on both sides; you can have two forces and one big one at the same time.

Firestorm have the pre orders up already, and there's no discount on the Grand Master box. Usual discount on everything else, but the GME is still £175.

Wow... NZ$580 for the GME. So the rumors of it being at least $500 in Oz would seem to have been correct.

The Titans look great but the Imperial knights (and I know they are not the point of the game) look shoddy. And only one of each ranged weapon across the sprue? Poor.

They're the size of a 28mm Terminator and like 20 parts each. What exactly were you expecting?

Defenitely the opposite of my reaction! I think the knights look spot on to the 40k knights. I think the detail of the knights is almost more impressive than the titan models.

Other than the tilt shield and pennant being a little thicker than I'd like, it seems to have amazing detail and holds up very well under the 360 viewer.
They're amazing models.

Okay, you get a lot more terrain than I previously thought with the GM set, enough to populate a good sized board by the looks of it!
If I were to get the terrain however, the first thing I would do would be to make some more interesting roofs with plasticard, some spires and antennae would really help to stop making it all look so boxy (though I bet it means all the terrain is very easy to rearrange). An all grey paint scheme isn't helping them either. Lots of potential anyway!

And it's up on the Oz site now. AUD$510. I love the fact that it's not $500, but $510. What's the $10 for, honestly? How much is this in the UK? £175? That's AUD$305. Someone wanna justify the 167% price increase we suffer here? Or the 170% price increase in NZ? Or why the (smaller, with fewer options) Warlord costs 16% more than the (larger, more options) Knight Warden?

Its $490 AUD for the Grand Master Edition, the $510 also has the novel with the box set.
Though I noticed that the bonus coin has already sold out online?
