OK, mad memory mode. As I recall, in descending order of weight, the
variant designations were:

Warlord - Nemesis, Deathbringer, Eclipse, Nightgaunt

Reaver - Goth, Vandal, Hun

Warhound - Wolf, Mastiff

Basically, the warlord and reaver had variants with fewer weapon mounts
and shields but greater mobility. The fluff ran that these were Horus Heresy
variants converted because Warlord titans were the only available hulls, but
there was still a need for lighter machines to cover the roles normally taken
by the reaver and warhound.
