Titan Hangar- Your Home Base Here

Titan Hangar is our newest feature on the blog.  We have a lot of other content that we offer you, such as Collegia Titanica, Titan Owner Interviews, Walk After-Action Reports, and more.  We're always looking to find new things for you, and Titan Hangar is the newest.  It's a celebration of where YOUR Titans are the lords of the field.  

We've already reviewed And Books Too, which houses many TOC Titans and Knight Banners.  We've even had a request from another member to do one for the Warhammer Citadel, which is where their engine plays.  We had hoped to see that response to the new series, which is why:

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

Titan Hangar is a celebration of your stomping grounds.  If you feel that your home store, be it a GW store, FLGS, or some other place of gathering is worthy of being on the blog, we want you to tell us so.  It won't take much to get your store on here, all you need to do is

1.  Talk to the manager or owner of the place and find out if they're okay with it.
2.  Send us a good picture of the outside and a few shots of the inside, especially if you have some action shots and some of the engines in question are in play.
3.  Tell us how often the big models get to play and which TOC engines are housed there.
4.  Let us know if there is anything else interesting about the store or the region it's located in (and we mean anywhere in the world, not just one nation, we want places from all over).  We want to know what makes it so special and why you love it.  

It's that easy.  Shoot that information over to titan.owners.club.usa@gmail.com or titan.owners.club.moderati@gmail.com and we'll take care of the rest.  Then, all you have to do is show your Hangar what you did when the article goes live.

Titan Hangar- And Books Too

Titan Hangar is a celebration of where the TOC engines fight on a routine basis.  The first place of mayhem is Shadow's own local FLGS, And Books Too in Louisiana.  This store is the home base of Natus Est Tempestas, Venator Lupus, Augusti Fortuna, Execratus, Invictus Nova, the Triumvirate of Spirits, the Lance of Rebirth, and the Fire Storms of Rexis.  


For these Banners and Titans, it's home field all the time.  And Books Too is nestled in the heart of "Cajun Country", as it's called, and the mix of people and food are always a treat, usually featuring prominently in any event that the TOC members participate in.  The store's manager, Jeff, is a constant fixture at the store and is the driving force behind why the store caters to its players as well as it does.

Seven different Titan/Banner owners (some not registered on TOC) call the store home and play games several times a year.  The reason we don't have an exact number of games played at the store is because Jeff has a very simple policy for the players: laissez-faire.  So long as the players stay relaxed, coordinate with the store, and keep the place clean, then they're welcome to show up with their large models whenever they wish.  They're even willing to do extended hours for special games, including the annual Thanksgiving Massacre held by a local group.

The store offers a wide variety of 40k, AoS, board games, and more, giving players free reign over the tables and terrain as needed.


It's not uncommon for the store's larger games to take up a lot of space, and even then, the store has plenty of room to spare.  Not only that, but it caters to comics (it's main niche), Age of Sigmar, Magic: the Gathering, and many more game systems.  It's a place for gamers of all stripes and is certainly a welcoming hangar for TOC Titans.
