Don't knock Big titans too much. There's some things they can do that no
other unit can; they always offer flexibility in the assault phase, you
can fit up to 32 firepower in a 6cm circle, and they can soak up a lot
of hits with little or no effect. Sure, you can get 15 LR's for the cost
of a warlord, but can you bring all of them to bear in one turn around
terrain. I'm not saying that you should drop your LR's for warlords,
just that your game can suffer by ignoring Titans.
