And your better use for those warlocks would be what? It's along shot (1 in
4) to psychic lock a titan, but you may get lucky and pin 2 of the buggers.
Anyway, it's not like he has the means to stop the warlocks before they at
least get a shot.

True.

BTW, if a warlock were to try to maintain a psy-lock on a titan with void
shields on the second turn, would he have to roll again to penetrate the
shield, or would he just have to make the maintenance roll?

I don't know about awesome. 6 detachments will average 9 hits. And that's
assuming that since his force is so large, he won't be able to get cover.
