Besides which, I just think Titans go well with Marines. Maybe I associate
them because of the 2nd edition Space Marine, which came with a lot of Space
Marines and a Warlord Titan (which certainly wasn't intended to be used by
the Orks or the Eldar in the box!).

I haven't been mixing any Imperial Guard into my army yet, but I do like
Titans with my Space Marines. (Here's an opening for you bug players to
say, "Yes, they add some nice crunchiness to the meal.")
