Sorry Thomas, but only orcs chaos and tyranids can place templates over
friendly troops. I know that the zero save stuff can't hurt a void shielded
titan (or a 1+ save super heavy) but "good guys" still can't shoot friendlies.

What I really want to know is why people think that you CAN swarm a titan
with hordes of little things when the rules so round a boutly say you can't...
