Hi

Well we use the following rule. On all titans, you may scatter off the
template when the titan is on charge or advance orders, if on first fire you
may not scatter off (just roll again until you hit something). For Eldar
Titans you may always scatter off, due to the effect of the holofield. This
applies to both barrage and common attacks.
