I have 2 list ready to go to Alamo

farsear jetbike
3 bikes (no scat)
3 bikes (no scat)
Revanent titian
Void shield

apsect host
5 warp spiders
5 warp spiders
5 warp spiders

apsect host
5 warp spiders
5 warp spiders
5 warp spiders
Once the titian is gone the killing power in the list just goes away and he does not seem to do much due to cover saves or invul saves

Second list seems better set up for the missions
farsear jetbike stones

4 bikes (3scat) 1 non
3 bikes (scat)
3 bikes (scat)

Hornet Pulse laser

6 swooping hawks with exarch
6 swooping hawks with exarch

vauls wraith support battery with D cannon
vauls wraith support battery with D cannon

Wraith knight with 2 scatter lasers

Void shield

apsect host
5 warp spiders
5 warp spiders
5 warp spiders

apsect host
5 warp spiders
5 warp spiders
5 warp spiders

This list I think will play more to the missions and has enough killing power to take any monster LOW that may show up.
other options are trade the wraith knight for the forgeworld wraith knight or drop the support batteries.

Let me know I have to get back to painting

The 2nd list is better by far. The Revenant can be killed about a quick as a WK, but cost 3x as much. And Bikes need the extra weapons, whether Scatters or Shuricannons.

I'm going to alamo as well. I'll be honest I don't want to face either list I'll either have all eldar or eldar and corsairs lol The titan will be cool to see, but I'd say the second list is stronger. You get SO much for the price of the titan.

Yeah that is what I am feeling I think I will paint up the Titian to just bring as part of the display board but everything else is going to have to be done first. Thanks for the input.

Not disputing the conclusion,but to say that it can be killed as fast as a WK is just untrue. The holofields, the size of the move and its ridiculous firepower make it really hard to bring down. Grav sucks against it, melta pods do Ok against it, but only have one shot at it before it runs off into the distance. It's very hard to hit in melee (6's only). A friend (very uncompetitive player) took one to the GT final in the UK ( which he qualified for by being voted nicest opponent at the heat he attended), and finished top 10 or 12 (from memory), one loss coming from a tau titan that shot it off the board in the first turn.

Dont judge it on its av12 and 4+++ holofields 9hp alone, look at the mobility of it, you can basically pick who you are in range of at any time. not even warp spiders can keep up, and to a super heavy thats really impressive. It also has one of the best AA weapons in the game (heavy 3 intercept skyfire str8 ap3 reroll pens), and is also a valid target for psychic powers.

If you were to opt for the first list, I would opt for a Skyshield over a Void Shield Generator. This would give your Titan very strong protection on the first turn and then can make use of its massive mobility for future turns. Also, running 30 Warp Spiders with the Titan is not to be taken lightly.

I bought an Eldar themed Skyshield and it went together fairly easy (about 2 hours to build). I'm going to give it a shot this weekend and see how it goes.

No earth shattering, thought provoking quote. I'm just someone who was introduced to 40K in the late 80's and it's become a lifelong hobby.
