Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Apocalypse (section)

===[[Titan (Warhammer 40,000)|Titan Legions]]===
Lets face it, apocalypse wouldn't be apocalypse if it wasn't for the titans. Individual models costing more than entire armies (in points and actual cash), more heavily armed and armoured than some factions could scrape together if given decades, and more awesome than a [[Angry Marine]] riding a laser shark into a volcano while playing a three necked guitar. Titans excel at killing other things, and have the variety of weapons to take on any target and come out on top. If you have a titan, you've probably won. If you don't have a titan, then either get a titan or a smaller unit which is specialised at taking them on.

They do however, have a major flaw, and that is that their guns are so incredibly powerful that they are overkill against anything smaller than a baneblade. Although as of 8th edition all units can split their fire chances are you have 2-3 guns, so that’s only 2-3 units you can annihilate a turn.

'''Strengths'''
*Toughest units in the game.
*Most powerful units in the game.
*Most awesome units in the game.

'''Weaknesses'''
*Extremely low model count and very high cost per wound.
*Tactically and strategically inflexible.

The baby in a family where everyone eats nails and battery acid for breakfast, the Warhound Titan may be the smallest titan the imperials can field, but it makes up for its relatively small size with exceptional speed and the fact that it carries weapons which do not look out of place on its larger siblings. Use its speed to jump in and out of cover to allow its void shields to repair and it will be like your opponent never fired a shot at it.

Your first proper apocalypse Titan, the reaver is your workhorse of the Titan world. It has the range of guns to fight everything to some extent, more guns to fight better than a warhound, cheaper and more flexible than a nemesis or warlord.

====[[Warlord Titan]] pg112====
[[File:MarsWarlord.jpg|400px|right|thumb|The cream of the plastic crack addiction that is warhammer.]]
Admit it. This was what you went straight to look at. You saw the apocalypse tactics, saw that it covered the warlord Titan and went straight for it. Well, you won’t be disappointed.

The warlord Titan is the most powerful unit in the game. No ifs. No buts (or [[Slaanesh|butts]]). No maybes. It has the most wounds, the best save and void shields and the best guns. It doesn’t even matter that it’s melee weapons don’t annihilate like they did last edition, as it can shoot while in melee, so it’s ranged weapons have become melee weapons. It’s such a large unit, it’s able to take scout Titan weaponry on its shoulders. Weapons which would normally be the most powerful guns on the battlefield are but tertiary weapons for this unit.

But the question is, is it worth it? Is this unit worth the 5500 points and £1000 price tag? Well that very much depends. The warlord will win you matches undoubtedly, and your opponent will need to bring a Titan of reaver grade in numbers in order to fight you. But the real question is, do you want to? Yes it would be awesome to own one, but the warlord suffers from the same problem supercars have, in that they’re expensive, you will rarely ever use it, it’s only ever fun when you’re using it against someone who also has one, and everyone will think you’re a twat when you use it against their fords and BMWs.

In short, if you buy one I commend you for it, and I will defend you to the death for owning one, as these kinds of units need to exist. just please... don’t use it against me without prior warning. And my own army of baneblades.
