Anyway Scariest unit in the game has to be....... A Warlord Titan when it walks onto the board your like "Ah You got be

ing Kidding me!"

**Melissia**

Assuming it fits on the board.

Thats true. And it doesn't get attacked by Commissar Yarrick in close combat!

**AspireToGlory**

I'll never get the titan fetish. This is supposed to be a tabletop wargame, not Gundam 40k. What's the point of having "an army" made up of one giant model? Tactics? Lolwut? Army selection? Haha.

I guess if putting that green template over models and rolling some dice gets you off then have at it.

Awesomeness. Pure win my good sir. That is what I have a problem with too.

**Melissia**

Same, I don't really like Titans in 40k tabletop.

It's not designed for such things.

Now, a battletech-esque system for Titan vs Titan combat? Oh hell yes.

**Destrado**

Some editions ago, the infinite Ulthwé Seer Council, if I remember correctly. Wasn't there someone who actually fielded it in a tournament, making a (very) long unit, with every model 2" apart?

**Asherian Command**

I loled at the fact when someone once deployed an entire 30 man death company.

**MechaEmperor7000**

Titans are appealing because they're big, have tons of guns, and the general "oh gak" factor associated with bring something 3+ feet tall to a 25mm game. Also, if you think the Warlord is brickcrappingly scary, check out the datasheet for the Emperor Class titan on the GW website.

Also I have a 30-man DC army in the works >.>

**Destrado**

If someone goes to the trouble of getting/making one I can't see why they can't use it.

**rivers64**

Damn. For its power the Emperor Class Titan is underpriced.

**candy.man**

Ulric the Slayer & Ragnar Blackmane with a unit of 10 power armoured wolf guard with 5 TH/SS and 5 Frost Blade/SS in a LR Redeemer.

Getting the charge and rolling 3 for the extra attacks, the unit would be able make 30 Str 6 power weapon attacks and 25 Str 9 thunderhammer attacks in conjunction with Ragnar's and Ulric's attacks, with to hit and possible to wound rerolls available to the whole unit.

**Iago**

Since we are in the realm of the absurd on this thread...

A dark eldar archon. Because he can never fail that 2+ inv. Hehe. He will also take out your tanks with his blaster (or haywire grenade).

That is ridiculous. Comes in at a tidy 1073 points.

You know, with 10 Storm Shields, I could have that unit converted in an afternoon... Need a Redeemer though. I have a Crusader.

Lol. My bad, didn't know it wasn't insane enough for this thread.

Add on 20 points to Squeeze in Ragnar's 2 Fenrisan Wolves, Svangnir and Ulfgir and you have a 16 unit that could squeeze into a LR crusader. Otherwise for more insanity, drop 1 wolf and add in Arjac Rockfist for a more deathstarish crusader wolf unit that comes in at 1253 points.

**LordTyphus**

Leman Russ

Tank beats EVERYTHING

**Doctadeth**

For the points. Deathwing assault squad with mixed TH/SS and LC combo.

215 points, plus if you take beliel he makes deathwing troops.

An Emperor Titan.... or the Planetkiller.
