OK. Compare 2 Warhounds each with 2 Multi Missile Launchers with, say,
an IG Artillery company. 4 barrages for 200 pts and superior
survivability.

Compare 1 Great Gargant with a Squat Land Train. That belly gun has an
excellent chance of KOing the LT in its entirety, regardless of other
factors.

No, I must disagree here. A very impressive huge model should have both
a power, and a cost commensurate with it. The fact that the 'Hells
Angels' can easily take out Titans should be discouraged, not the points
of a Titan adjusted to less than that of a Greater Deamon.
