Hi!
First of all, the necron titan has no shields so I assume you are
referring to it self-repair ability. The self-repair cannot be bypassed
by any poer/rule I am aware of. So after you get hit and determine hit
location, it would get its self repair. The bottom line is this IS its
defense against some weapons since they negate his armor save. So on a
3+ you ignore the beam of power. Most armies have at least one weapons
like this. During my game with Darius his squat cyclops weapon acted
like a "beam of power", my only defense was its self repair and that was
at 4+, but still made it. A 3+ fixed repair roll goes a long way against
this.
My curiousity is why it was rules that you were not entitled to a repair
save? Whats the rational? Nothing it epic negates repair/regeneration,
besides close combat.
