Well sure if everyone has one that it isn't as big a
problem, but I object to the BGs on principle. I don't agree
with the idea of getting something for nothing when that
something is not inconsiderable (like a titan). I wouldn't
have a problem with them if they lowered the cost of the
individual titans to match their BG cost (reavers - 333 points,
warlords - 500 pts, etc). Really, if a single reaver is worth
500 points, why are 3 only worth 1000? Abusing point-based
systems may be impossible to stop, but things like that only
excaberate the problem.
This sort of thing doesn't happen in E40k since point
costs are by unit and not by platoon/company and you don't
get much of anything for free (well, marines get stubborn for
free, but besides that).
mini-rant off.
