So i was thinking about purchasing a knight titan, however i usually play much smaller games around 750-1250 and was wondering when should i field something of this scale? When is it sportsmanlike to field a lord of war? Im worried that it would preform to well (my main opponent plays dark eldar and they are not a very strong army) so let me know what points level you would consider it sportsmanlike to field a lord of war.

Whatever your opponent agrees upon?

I would decline a game of less than 1500, but that is just me. I would rather see the game at 2k for a titan.

For me, a single Lord of War is fine at 2k as long as it isn't one of the crazy Heresy era ones or a Warhound. Anything below 1.5k and it is getting a bit odd unless you know beforehand or it is a preset scenario. For pickup games it seems a bit much at 1250.

Any points cost above it's own cost is when it is 'sportsmanlike' to bring a Knight or a Baneblade.

However, from experience, at low points levels, a Lord of War concentrates too much of your army into one model.

I wouldn't recommend composing more that 1/3 of your list by cost with a Lord of War, because it starts to become a handicap rather than an asset.
