Well, I say a "YES" as the closer we stick to the GW equivalent (either
what it WAS in SM/TL or what the new release is) the better chance we have
of dragging in new converts. The more NetEpic players the better.

Well, the Plasma Generation all depends on what you need to fully power up
the weapons and systems on the thing.

Well, I've made my feelings clear. Quester's outline of the weapons is the
best if you ask me. My vote goes there.

Big problem here. Limiting the Warmonger's AA guns to shooting at only
flyers, floaters, Titans and units in buildings is going to SEVERELY reduce
its effectiveness as a Titan. If you can't shoot at ground forces, what
the heck use is the thing going to be? Sure, make the guns light, but they
should be able to shoot at anything or else the Titan is going to be a big
waste of points.
