Aside from Blood Ravens of course.

According to 1d4chan.
Blood Ravens (Thousand Sons) - heavily implied but suppposedly officially denied
Brotherhood of a Thousand - minor chapter with a tiny footnote implying heavy librarius.<ref>How to Paint Space Marines, pg. 86</ref>
Grey Knights (Founders were initially drawn from the Knights-Errant) - outright stated
Minotaurs (Old Lore) (World Eaters) - speculated
Minotaurs (Revamped Lore) (Iron Warriors) - speculated
Silver Skulls (Iron Warriors) - all but confirmed (origin suspected to be from the gene-seed of the Iron Warriors contingent that was led by Dantioch into taking refuge on Ultramar and stayed loyal) Alternatively; potentially not as the Silver Skulls are known for having absolute faith in the emperors Tarot and will follow the word of prognosticators which is a polar opposite from the IW data-driven approach to battle.
Red Scorpions (Emperor's Children) - speculated
Death Eagles (Emperor's Children) - all but confirmed (origin suspected due to records of a Loyalist Blackshield warband from the Emperor's Children's Death Eagles company during the Horus Heresy) while the Chapter's recorded actions stretch back as far as M32.
Storm Wardens (World Eaters) - speculated
Iron Snakes (Alpha Legion) - speculated
Sons of Antaeus (Death Guard) - speculated
Sons of the Phoenix (Emperor's Children) - speculated

1d4chan is not really a proper source, from what i read of it years ago it was a lot of bullshit with a few splashes of really creepy shit.

More of it, I'll start bleed from eye sockets. Loli daemonettes and Cultist Chan stuff are like soft lesbian porn compared to it.
Wait a minute. That is lesbian porn.

Yeah, Xenology is an awesome book, I made it required reading for my Ordo Xenos Dark Heresy campaign :D (though not until a point in the campaign where they'd actually have access to such knowledge, of course)

Did anyone here play Dark Elves in 6th, 7th or 8th edition of WFB? Pondering on buying an army a wondering what they're like. Incidentally, anyone looking for a flesh tearers army?

I did, they were great fun. Sorceresses could dish out huge numbers of casting dice and sacrifice people for more, Cold One Knights were devastating if they didn't hang around doing nothing, and War Hydras were absolutely brutal.

I did a Witch Elves deathstar army, that unit shredded absolutely anything but couldn't stand up to taking any punishment in return. I also remember one time my Hellebron destroyed a castle, that was fun.

If those Titan sets are 8mm, I'm pretty sure you can use 6mm tanks and infantry as support without too much trouble.
