We used them in the campaign we ran last year. I wouldn't use them
in a non-campaign setting.
They were fun, but didn't make that much difference. What would normally
happen was that a titan would get an honor, and then your next opponent
would rather take the chance on throwing the fight rather than letting
your titan live to get another one. (i.e. I don't care how much it
costs me, that titan is going to *die*!!) He normally didn't have
to risk too much; titans just don't have the life expectancy to
collect more than one honor, and most didn't even live that long.
(I got lucky in our fight, Temp. I've never seen a pair of Warhounds
soak up that much damage and still live, nor have I ever seen an
entire volley of hits scatter off the template!)
We normally play that when a titan fails a save you roll on the damage
chart and live with the result. (i.e. two rolls of 1 on the head chart
quarters your CAF, etc.) I can't imagine the campaign life expectancy
of a titan using the contrived escalating damage rule we got on the
Q&A. ("Take at least one level higher on the chart," etc.) Of course,
since we knew that we were using titan honors, are armies usually took
a pretty heavy anti-titan loadout.
