My point was mainly that if you're swarming... then the troops would
just keep coming. The only logical way to limit it to 6 stands is to
say that it's not the fact that only 30 people can reach the titan
(since the guys in the back would be rushing ahead to replace those
killed in the assault), but to say that in the length of time that is
represented by the close combat period, only 30 people can
effectively assault it.. i.e there may be another 100 guys behind
you, but by the time enough casualties have mounted to make room for
them all, it'd be the next turn.

which, btw, I disagree with.. but it's at least plausible.

I'd still prefer just bolters though.. like I said, keep the rules
simple. If you don't need to make a new rule, then you'll run into
less trouble.
