Actually all you have to do is keep a battery of Whirlwinds with LOS to
your titans. With thier void shields the Whirlwinds 0 save modifier won't
hurt the titan but will kill about 1/2 the stuff in contact with your
titan, wich will be able to handle the rest. Also the Multiple Rocket
Launcher will serve the same purpose (6 pt. barrage w/ no save modifier).
Eldar can use Doomweavers as their titans 1+ save means they are immune to
the webs, though the auto drift thing may bite you. You can't swarm
Tyrinid bio-titans. Anyone ever see one without ripper Tetacles? I don't
think you can out swarm the orcs to swamp one of thier gargants, I'd have
to see it to belive it.

Another cute one is to arm Warhounds with a flamer and have them "leapfrog"
eachother. Keep one on 1rst fire and move the other to the wide point of
where the flame template would be. Move them towards infantry formations.
Use the other hard point for a TLD and go to town.
