        Why do we like pulsars - 100 cm range is as good as it gets for these
titans 2+ hit rolls is excellent, -2 save isnt great but with d6 hits its
excellent for both stripping void shields or when void shields are gone a bunch
of -2 hits is usually as good or sometimes better than 1 big hit (ie if it
scatters).The ability to use the template agaisnt a group of targets isnt
as good as having multiple dice to spread out but still increases its
versatility.
        Psi cannons - at least on a warlock titan theyre 4+....With the
exception of use against GD's the Pulsar is just generally better all round
(although the question to be asked is do void shields give titans a 4+ vs the
lance? if they do id say take a pulsar if not the lance may be a good anti
titan weapon but still I'd take a pulsar.
        The power fist sucks. The guns arent very impressive and if you
win in close combat Id rather just get a roll than risking getting nothing
out of it......).
        If theyre your only weapons go for the Pulsar and lance. If you have a
 choice for wing weapons go for both lasers and dont use the rockets (I just
think the lasers are better - with 0 save mod the rockets arent much good for
dropping buildings/heavy units and its unlikely that youre ever going to get
more than 2-3 units under a template anyway......
                                                well thats how I see it
