Anyone know the armor values of the average titan?

I was just doing some funny math with my Caestus' and realized they would probably be able to take down nearly any tank in the game on a ram attack.

+3 for 3 above 10.
+12 Potential if going flat out @ 36" (1 for every 3" it moves)
+1 Caestus Assault Ram

Rolls 2D6 and Chooses Highest for Penetration. That's an auto-penetration on any tank in the game.

Then it gets a +1 on the damage table roll.

That's pretty scary for Apocalypse or even a normal game @ 270 points. Also.. it can carry 10 Terminators which can assault from it (not moving flat out). Has a melta template blast weapon & a decent one shot, twin linked heavy 4 blast missile launcher with AP 4.

Anyone else using one of these or more?

Armor never goes above 14, ramming strength never goes above 10. That said, a Klawstompa on the charge auto-penetrates each hit of his 8 attacks, gets +3 to any damage rolls and may then throw any wrecked vehicle across the board. The ram is not that special, all apoc units are silly like that

Note that it usually takes more than one penetrating hit to kill any super heavy, including titans. You'd also be in melee range of the titan to simply stomp your ram if it survives.

I'm aware of structure points. Just wondering where ramming strength never goes above 10?

Because a core rule of 40k is that no strength of anything may exceed 10.
