        Hmmm... you could make the daemon fear such that
any enemy detachment within 15cm must pass Ld test or
become broken... no, that's too powerful. The titan would
go running around trying to get into FFs with everyone...
The auto-kill still seems somewhat strong, but it's a good
reason for the enemy to be taking Ld tests just to get
close!

        I assume you're going for some CC-booster type
honor... WE gets +1 to hit in CC? (but takes automatic
hit if it loses the CC, and 1 always misses of course).
Some fixed number (like 2, possibly determined by WE size)
of extra dice in CC? Can't think of anything else off
the top of my head (aside from a vanilla +X AF).
