Editing Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Adeptus Titanicus (section)

==Reaver Titan==
'''First choice''': Reaver Volcano Cannon, a fantastic piece of equipment which performs the best (or joint first place) against all targets other than infantry, take this weapon and with its high rate of fire and damage it will never disappoint you.

'''Second choice''': Reaver Melta cannon, comes in at second place to the the volcano cannon on damage output and draws with it against targets with toughness 8 or lower with either a 3+ save or invulnerability save, its higher shot count also makes it okay at dealing with infantry, and it will chew up heavy infantry (never send custodes against this weapon).

'''Second choice (melee)''': The Powerfist, the best of all the reavers melee weapons against vehicles etc, while your titanic strides deal with infantry. The 50:50 chance of dealing mortal wounds to a nearby enemy unit is also far more useful than the chainfists mortal wounds, as your “piggy in the middle” land raider can be used to target characters, as it’s an ability, not a shooting attack.

'''Carapace choice''': Incinerator Missile Bank, a controversial choice as standard wisdom dictates that the apocalypse missile launcher is better, but with the new wounding rules both the missile launchers wound heavies at similar rates (with the apocalypse doing slightly better due to have 2 extra shots). But you shouldn’t be using them against vehicles, they’re designed to murder infantry, and the incinerators 20 shots against infantry means that it kills GEQ’s and MEQ’s at the same rate as the mega bolter (an excellent gun in its own right). But what makes it not just another bolter is it’s almost quadruple range and ability to ignore cover, the latter being something which the apocalypse cannot do, which is disappointing because your missile bank should be a weapon used for clearing out cover camping threats.

'''Third choice (wildcard)''': Reaver Gatling Blaster, a tricky choice as the other option for this spot is the Reaver Laser Blaster, which is superior against all targets except infantry, but the gatling blaster excels as an MEQ killer (the best one you have) and as your already taking the volcano cannon your not lacking on anti-armour. The time you should take over the melta cannon (never replace the volcano cannon) is if your up against an infantry heavy army where the your missile launcher cannot keep up with the swarms coming towards you.

'''Carapace choice (wildcard)''': Inferno Gun, a strange choice yes, but the reaver lacks weapons which can overwatch for it, and as already discussed, the inferno gun is fantastic at deterring/causing total existence failure to charges.

'''Last place (the don’t bother option)''': The Chainfist, a weapon which is supposed to be a true {{W40Kkeyword|Titanic}} murderer is far out-passed by its power fist sibling, and all because it has a -1 to hit. As stated above, the only reason you should take this option is that it looks fantastic, a truly awesome piece of model design, which isn’t a problem if your playing non-competitively, but otherwise, just leave it at home.
