It was a pretty funny actually. I got a bit lucky will scoring THAT many
wounds, but the real reason was yes, he ran out into the open for me. Its
was a case of male bravado. I taunted him into attacking my Imperator (I
dared him to take it down) and he obliged. Fool. Still it was fun. But
his 'Stealers and Termies made a real mess of my Right Flank. Lucky I had
a Rough Rider Company in reserve.

And I have to agree that the Bio-Titans are best used to flank and/or
distract your opponent from attacking your infantry. They are big and
impressive and so people shoot at them. That way you can get your
'Stealers in place for the attack.
