I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with the list. A lot of my victory had to do with my enemies not really knowing the list well and not understanding how to fight it (Which frankly I think accounts for a lot of the AMTL wins). The list itself is full of tough-to-kill units. But much like an IG Army centered around Russ Companies, you're giving up flexibility for it. The mistake my opponents made were largely that they failed to kill my supporting units. DS got really worked over due to his bad rolling on initiative checks for his Guard. And really poor shooting on turn 1 for Deathstrikes and Shadowswords. Had they worked right the game would have been very different (I'd have been down a warlord and my supreme commander on turn 1, and he'd have had BTS for certain). Likewise with game 2. If I hadn't won iniative on turn 2 of that game it likely would have been a very different beast. As it allowed me to off ToadChild's Chosen before they could assault. Game 3 was because ePilgrim's Deathstrikes failed to activate on turn 1, and he chose to attack the wrong target with them. Again, failing to take out my support units. Though he also went after my artillery warlord not my BTS.

The HTH titan weapons I tend to use as defensive weapons. They're EXCELLENT at repelling assaults and making people think twice about droping Terminators into my Warlords (Do I REALLY want to assault into 6x MW 2+ attacks?). I'd recommend, for offense-oriented titans (especially one like that reaver) that you give them a pair of Laser Burners and a Melta-Cannon. That'll give you 8x MW fire-fight attacks and another 1x TK fire-fight attack. Plus 6 base attacks. Nasty. 15 attacks where 9 of them don't allow armor saves! All hitting at 3+. And your shields work in a fire-fight but not in base-to-base. Power-fists are only really good if you plan to go toe-to-toe with something like a Bio Titan or the like. It makes things like Hydraphants twitchy to charge a 650 point Reaver with a good chance to tear them in half and take relatively little damage in return.

My option is to remove one of the Pack for a lone WH with Light Inferno Gun and use the 250 pts to buy some options (Legate, CML, Princeps)
Any Comments ?
THX
one more ask ... I think of taking only lone WH to augment the number of my formations ...

I'd recommend kicking the Warlord for a Reaver with 2x Plasma Destructors and 1x Plasma Cannon. That'll give you 4 tac-weapons and at least 1 on each titan. And it'll free up 200 points to spend taking, say, Carapace Multilasers on both Reavers. Then, to make one your BTS, put a Veteran Princepts on it. That'll leave you 50 points for whatever else you feel like. I'm really unconvinced that the Plasma Destructors or Plasma Cannon are worth it at present... 4x MW 4+ Slow Firing just doesn't feel that impressive to me. Non-slow-firing would feel over powered, though.

And I'd separate some WHs for more activations
