Editing Warhammer 40,000/7th Edition Tactics/Imperial Guard (section)

====Titans====

'''TITANIC GOD-MACHINES OF PURE RAPE'''. They pack awesome firepower on ungodly durable platforms, but hell they are expensive. One thing you should remember: Titans are NOT indestructible. Despite being TITANS they are quite fragile for such point cost. Their void shield could soak a lot of anti-tank shooting, but they work only against shots from 12" and more, not anywhere near close combat. KEEP YOUR TITANS AS FAR FROM ENEMY AS POSSIBLE -  a lot of things could kill them if they come close enough. Meltaguns are problem. Hummershield/chainfist terminators are big problem. Warscythe Lychguards are a massive problem. Daemon lords and Revenant Titans with swords are death. Wraithknights and Imperial Knights will chop you into little bits of metal confetti. Hell, I once saw a single veteran squad with meltabombs grav-shuted near a Reaver titan and kill it in one turn. Also, keep in mind that all titan weapons (except Mega Bolter) are blasts, so they cannot hurt fliers (not even Manta - snapshots or not, blasts cannot hit flyers, guess that's why the Tau used aircraft as their main anti-titan weapons).
*'''[[Warhound Scout Titan]]:''' <s>Buy three!!!</s> Make three (if you want your titan to look stupid)!!! Can equip two arm weapons: Give it two Turbo-Laser Destructors and watch the fireworks as it kills everything else on the field.
*'''[[Reaver Battle Titan]]:''' <s>Buy</s> Make one! Gets two reaver-class arm weapons and one warhound-class carapace weapon or giant Rocket Launcher/Vortex Missile on its back.
*'''[[Warlord Battle Titan]]:''' BUY ONE <s>(if you want your titan to look stupid)</s> shut up, it's [[awesome]]!!! OR SCRATCH BUILD TO SAVE YOURSELF $2500USD (or buy it from China)!!! One of these will obliterate its cost in, say, Predator Annihilators or Baneblades, without a single scratch. It mounts two of the Reaver's weapons on its back and two of its own weapons on its arms, which pack more range and fire more shots each turn.
*'''[[Imperator Battle Titan]]:'''If you play against one of these, just give up... I mean, the other Titans scale up by adding on guns, but this God-Machine carries '''six''' carapace weapons (use the Warlord's weapons for that, there's no point using the Warhound's), it has two arm weapons - and even it's weakest arm gun will at the least let out 6 strength 8 AP3 shots. There is no safe place against it, its weapon's range allows it to hit anything 36" away and beyond. Even if the enemy team fills every square inch of the board with anti-tank weapons, this thing will come out on top without taking so much as a glancing hit to it's armor, with all the void shields they need to get through first. Load up on Laser Blasters for the carapace and Vengeance Cannons for arms and this can let loose an insane TWENTY-SIX destroyer shots. You still should beware close combat monsters and meltahouses - with minimum fire range of 36" Imperator cannot shoot down any approaching TEQ's, scarab swarms, or those overpowered deepstriking corsair Fire Dragons (unless you put some good fire support units into his leg-bastions, which you really should). You will never get a model for this thing, not in a thousand years, but you can [[proxy]] one, just ask your two meter (seven foot) pal over and get him to cosplay. <s>And remember - chicks dig giant robots</s> <s>''You're not fooling anyone Princeps''.</s> FUCK YOU I CAN TRY!

Note that Tau have some really nasty Apocalypse fliers which are due for an update soon and already seem designed to destroy anything you can field (which they kind of were in fluff). See [[http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Warhammer_40,000/6th_Edition_Tactics/Tau]] for details. Counter with Praetor Armoured Launcher using Pilums
