Temp,

I definitely like the battle honors as an option (if your titan
survives long enough). Perhaps those of you who know them could arrive
at a consensus list for EPIC 40k? I made some comments on what you
posted below - these may be completely off the mark as I never read the
original battle honors.

Now that's a titan killing skill if ever I saw one.

This does seem a bit potent. Perhaps just +50% firepower in
firefights?

> Turbo weapon - count as being on overwatch, or HWB adds fp (2? 4?)

Perhaps Death Rays and Anti-Tanks count as being on overwatch, HWBs and
Barrages get +4 FP?

> Turbo Engines (non-eldar?) - +5cm move

Why would this be non-eldar? Just because the combination with
extremely agile would be over the top, I guess? Hey, can these battle
honors be taken more than once (i.e. cumulative?).

> Mandi-blasters (eldar titan only) - cc weapon slot, no fp (or reduced
range)

As in a free CC weapon? Even so seems reasonable compared to others.

Why non-eldar on this one? Perhaps 'powerful spirits in wraithbone' or
something like that would be the eldar version?

Yeah, maybe too much with the 2+ holofield. I like the idea a lot,
though.
