Peter also wants to change the D-Cannon so it only scatters 1d6. No
offense, Peter, but that's just too powerful.
I haven't agreed with *any* of the Titan revisions; not Eldar or not
Imperial.
I have no problem with leaving the Alternate Holofield rules as just that
*Alternate* Holofield rules.
Eldar titans have Holofields, a devastating array of weapons, a very thin
damage template chart, very tough saves on locations, and are faster the
other titans. Do they *need* a modified Holo-save?
Titans like all other units in this game have strength and weaknesses.
The trick to using them is to play to their strengths and your opponents'
weaknesses. You don't need to change the rules to make them fair. Most of
them already are.
And, for the record, I play Marines *and* Eldar.
