Autocannons and Missile launchers are a good way of dropping voids. After that, you can use what you normally would against AV14.

So shoot those at the Titan first before you use other weapons against it.


Also, remember Warhounds can move 12" a turn. They can be difficult to catch if the user is experienced in using them effectively. Drop Pods will be one round of shooting. If they fail the Titan is only a movement phase away from escaping them for good.

Are your friends using their whole armies? If so then gearing up both your and your friends armies to just be titan hunters isn't the best move as the Warhound is only 750 and they are going to have what, like a 6-8k force of Tyranids and Chaos?

No we will probably do 3-4k a person, probably 3. But no both armies wont, I dont believe my ally really has much aside from 2-3 pods and thats the same for my sw allied detachment. Other than that I will probably have a ton of russes and a mechanized guard force to slowly advance up the board, we also have 5 fliers between the 2 of us as mentioned.

Unless the titans sheilds are down my shadowsword will probably be blasting at the nids units to insta kill most of his big monsters and blast his hordes to nothing, no cover with ID will hurt nids badly.

Yeah, what hurts even more is 4 templates of autopen/wound ignores cover causes ID. Which is what that Warhound will be tossing out.

Assume your Shadowsword is gone on turn 1 unless you hold it in reserves because I'll bet the Titan is going to waste it first chance it gets.


And it should only be a little shooting to get the Voids down. It only has 3 of them.

The only reason the voids shouldn't be down on turn 1 is if the Titan is way far away, in which case your board is amazingly slanted towards the Titan.

No we will probably be playing on a standard board, if anything maybe slightly bigger if we find a store but we do plan on taking breaks to go out to eat.

But that was the plan would be to keep the shadow sword in reserves and also to basically put as much armor on the board for my guard so I can hopefully live a turn. with that titan blasting things. Since the nids player doesnt have some big scary unit to use and neither does my ally there armies will be rather much larger, the nids one will worry me if he gets to close and that titan is still alive.

You really shouldn't be playing on a 4x6 board at the point levels you are talking about.

a standard 4x6 board really maxes out at 3000 points per side. Any larger and the board is just too small.

Hmmm alrighty then I will have to take that into consideration, my friends and I could probably make an expansion to add to the board.
