I, in the not to distant past, was witness to a 50,000 point Marine vs.
Eldar 40k battle that included Titans. It was spectacular.Just the terrain
was staggering in its scale. Everybody who played the game In our group
offered up all of our available terrain, plus the principal players were
required to build huge pieces of terrain to reflect the Titans Inclusion.
The armies were combinations of 4 different chapters of marines, including
death company squads, ravenwing, deathwing, long fangs, and the bult filled
out with Ultramarines. Then as a topper, two Warhounds, and an Impirator
titan. The eldars were equally diverse with three craftworlds represented
and the harlequins. Custom made grav tanks, and vypers, joined with jet
bikes, with two Revanents, a Phantom, And a scorpion grav tank.

And to respond to your interest Chris, Characters make excellent Titan gap
filler when stepped on. I had great fun watching Azerwhatis get crushed
while the little helmet bearer popped into the warp only to reapear next to
the crushed mangled remains of the helmet wearer. Muahahahaha.
