My experience with the Ordinatus army is that anything you bring will be vaporized - people won't shoot at the bigguns if they're smart on the first turn, so your little 550 point goons will have to endure the entire enemy army's worth of shooting, deep-strikes, and early assaults.

What you bring, in my experience, doesn't really matter. It's going to get vaporized and you will rapidly end up with just your superheavies.

Could do, but I don't know many people that have trouble removing 40 marines.

Your bubble wrap is kind of irrelevant, it really is. The heavy lifting, scoring, killing, moving, shooting, and assaulting are all going to be done by your superheavies in a leviathan detachment. Everything else might as well be chaff in the wind, unless they are Battle Brother support units like Librarians that can directly buff the superheavies.

Correct. That's why you bring a Crusade Support Wing as one of your other Lords of War.

A pair of fighters with a few upgrades slot neatly into 500 points and give you (a) access to good quality Skyfire weapons and (b) the ability to rapidly get guns pointed at something cowering out of line of sight of your titan.

A pair of Primaris-Lightnings are a good one - they're flexible (depending on what you use the missiles as) and make for effective tank hunters. Thunderbolts are brilliant superiority fighters with unjinkable armourbane missiles for the first pass.

That is an excellent point. I don't need any AA since the Ordinatus Ulator tears planes in half, but a Titan detachment certainly could use some air defense!

Great idea!
