Totally irrelevant, but what the heck.
     
I am curious as to how the Tyranids view Titans - in the fluff, hoomies and
pansies are viewed as soft/weak flesh things - now the table is turned
against them (Tyranids) when compared against Titans.

     Week 1 of the Invasion:
     
     "Ahhh the flesh will be consumed by the great devourer in time... what
     in the name of the Hive mother is THAT?"
     
     stomp stomp stomp - a warlord enters onto the field of battle
     
     the Warlord proceeds to make dog chow of the 'nids
     
     
     Week 2 of the Invasion:
     
     "Ahhh the flesh will be consumed... oh I've done that bit already.
     This time we've got some help."
     
     stomp stomp stomp - a warlord enters onto the field of battle
     
     clack clack clack - a Hierodule scuttles up to the Warlord and floors
     it. The 'nids proceed to hammer the flesh into the ground - in
     preparation for 'assimilation' into the Hive DNA of course.
     
     
     ** So there we are, the 'nids see Titans as a 'damned fine idea'.
     After all they developed their own!
     
     
     ** Bonus Campaign Section!! **
     I want to try this in Wh40k too - the 'nids start with hth killers at
     the start of the campaign with their opponents using infantry and
     vehicles.
     
     The next round sees the 'nids 'develop' their vehicles; copying and
     matching the battlefield roles (i.e. they get Haruspex, etc.), however
     their opponents have brought up artillery and psychers...
     
     Next up we give the 'nids psychers, etc., but their opponents get War
     Machines...
     
     That's it! The 'nids are pissed off by this point and throw in their
     newly 'designed' Titans, Dominatrix, etc. etc. - The opponent start to
     get worried...
     
     The campaign should prerhaps give the Tyranids more points for the
     later scenarios depending on how they fare in the earlier ones. This
     should make up for their 'tailing' the opponent in technology. At some
     point you can throw in flyers too :)
