impassible cover until the assault phase. Several vortex missles work
well, a couple of detats of land raiders on overwatch (if he's foolish
enough to walk in front of it). Several well timed airstrikes to lower
shields before wheeling a deathray speedsta detat in front of it.

Hey, its a gazillion points in the area of a blast marker? Its hard to
bring that many points to bear on such a small area. Sometimes you can
stay out of its way ( I do that to Megagargants a lot), so his 900
points earn him almost nothing. Then you've got X points against his
X-900 points. This is terrain dependant, but its fun to hear them whine
about how useless the gargant/titan was. After a few times of doing
this, they may even stop taking them altogether.

I really like the titan rules in the new game. Except the bit about 4
blast markers preventing your warlord titan from firing, unless one of
the weapons is firepower based. ( which isn't even in the rules, where
did this come from?)
