This is most likely an oversight on my part. You are correct according
to the fluff and it should be changed to reflect that.

Lord of battle is a titan sized unit, and rules for titans apply. Pehaps
that is why t wasnt mentioned.

Perhaps the terror rules should be re-written to state that only units
that can be pinned or less be vulnerable to the no first fire rule.

Comments?

In a sense both. Since, if the greater demon is affected, all units
attached to it are affected.

Thats a typo. It should read "only given advance or charge orders, not
first fire". This applies to most demon engines except artillery
engines. It should be reworded to clarify this.

Copy/paste error. Should be fixed
