        Yeah, we all know how they played in Epic2. Apart from a
couple of Tyranid players complaining about a lack of firepower (an
understandable line of reasoning, as it was their one weakness. But
my Titans had more than one weakness. Dying when pumped full of lead
comes to mind.), it was generally agreed that they were the latest and
greatest GW model, along with the Dom.
        But the discussion was more on the new ones. People were
trying to make up their minds whether the new Titans were truly awful,
or just mediocre, like the majority of the units in E40k, for the
price. I was in the mediocre camp.
