Okay this is a place to talk all things Titans on the battlefield how to combat them with super heavy or more fun other Titans and so on this is also about what tipe of cover you should fight in and what are the greatest storys of previous battles pics welcome and tell us your Legio !!

Legio Crucius here with 1 and soon to be 2 Reavers and a knight house of 4 indentured Gallants and 3 Crusaders; main opponent legion is Mortis with a Reaver & Warlord with one of all the forgeworld knights except the heavy shooting one.

The volcano cannon is the beginning and end of discussion; everything is about setting up that shot. As an example my manticore batteries and allied artillery blew their entire load just to knock 10 HP off the warlord to break its voidshields down one tier, and one good volley from just the reaver's volcano cannon then burned off 48 hull points, and would have killed it but for a command reroll. After that it's a big scary sure, but it can be largely ignored while sweeping up the thing's attendants.

As part of a larger game titans are set pieces and sweepers who rarely last 3 turns. The game really comes alive when they're gone on both sides and you have two shredded exhausted armies to smash against to the end. It really is down to you as a player to shepherd limited resources towards victory.

Just like a real war I guess

As for surviving a titan, bring your own terrain e.g. bastions and hide artillery behind it. Barring another titan, if a titan wants a unit dead, that unit is dead unless it is hitting on 5+. The only safeguard is swamping it with high value targets.

The flamer option for the warhound has become insanely good. It basically just automatically kills anything smaller than a knight that tries to charge a warhound, rendering it safe from a lot of armies.

There's a case for a warhound with double flamers at 2k. It would be seriously odd though. I don't really think any of the Titan equivalent stuff is suitable for matched play.

Well thanks for the input and im loving the battle reports mine so far is short i have a Legio Mortis Reaver "Ricus Mori" that i painted up for my Fallen Marines and my sons chaos knight house and a cultists army. Facing off against my Warp-Runner Warhound along with my large imperial guard army. I made a scratch built power plant to take part in the campaign. Long story short The Warhound out matched the four knights taking out two knights a turn but came unstuck facing the Reaver . Not even a move of 24" could get it in enough cover and the Reavers missile pod knocked down its wounds just enough to make its voids save on a 5+ and it then opened up with its Reaver Laser blaster and smashed 38 wounds off and blow it in to a 15" nuke blast . A great set of battles.
