Hey guys just felt like throwing in my two cents, I play death Korps of krieg and own a reaver titan and I have two styles of game play, when I'm at my store and when I'm at my house. At my Store, I'm usually playing against someone's tourney or league army and it's super competitive, I usually like to use my imperial armour rule set but I'm always ready to play standard ig if my opponent doesn't allow it. At my store, when a large apoc game is held proxies and cardboard titans are not allowed and I like that. Seeing all the really expensive models in one place really has a nice effect on the game.
On the other hand at home, my small group of friends and I never play on a competitive level. We play campaigns and pick up games and large scenario games roughly guided by the apoc book, ( we think the apoc book is pretty dumb ). I always use my death Korps if krieg ruleset and when we play Apoc or are "large scenario games" I let them use proxies cheaper models to represent stompas and warhound titans, Becuase 3 reasons, 1 I love seeing the conversion work my friends do and the ideas they come up with( I built my little cousins two stompas myself...) 2 some of my friends can't afford something that big, and I allow the proxy or scratch built models so the game can be a little more balanced plus they want to try out using the big models to 3 the most important reason WE ARE JUST TRYING TO HAVA FUN.
So in conclusion
When your playing at a store with people you don't normally play against, you must be open to not using a model or a set of rules, wether it's a scratch built titan you built at home or a completely forge world death Korps of krieg army you spent a ton of money on, it goes both ways. But when your playing with friends, do Watever you want, hell play with plastic green army men if you want as long as everyone is having fun.

But I have to agree on some points said earlier...
In a competitive environment, the levithian is nothing like the warhound titan when it comes to size, the body is no where near as bulky so it provides a disadvantage to it's opponent when it comes to LOS behind very large buildings and when using blast, ordanance, and barrage weapons.
Also the huge rush to put as many d weapons on the table is stupid, and over powered, the reason my friends and I don't use the apoc book is because it makes things stupid and over powered, buy one or two so you can have enoungh to keep up if you have enough money to buy 4 levithians you have enough to buy a real warhound.... A good rule might be for every levithian past the 1st one you must also have a warhound, Idk just throwing something out there.
So there is my lengthy 2 cents, thanks for reading
