What's the most point effective Titan or super heavy in escalation? Revenant titan, Warhound? (Obviously Phantom Titans and reavers are far stronger but not as point effective).

Super heavy fliers as they can't be hit by D weapons with blasts. Anything with D weapons is going to be a candidate but probably a Super Heavy flier or revenant Titan for their cost.

Flying gargantuan creature ftw

Vampire Raider or Revenant against other super-heavies - mobile, durable even against strength D thanks to titan holo-fields and posessing strength D of their own - the former is more durable and can carry scoring units around to protect them but the latter has more firepower and better board presence because it can start on the table. Against anything without strength D Aetaos'rau'keres with the Grimoire is invincible, spawns scoring units and has strong shooting and assault. A Chaos Warhound with daemon-titan of Tzeentch and support of a landing pad or foreboding and a grimoire so it to has a rerollable 2++ is also a pretty strong option though not as mobile. The former is better because Daemons must be allied in in the second case for a less reliable grimoire.

And yet a daemon-Titan has strength D does it not? If so then it is far more effective than big bird in most situations.
Out of interest what is the general consensus on war hound titans? I mean they move fast and twin turbolasers hit like a tonne of bricks. They just don't seem that survivable for their cost.

Big bird is far better than a warhound since it can completely ignore the warhounds D weapons, can kill just about anything with its staff, can kill just about anything in CC, and can take objectives like no tomorrow with his horror spawner.
