If the modifier is reduced to *1.25 (half it's current value), single model cost is 657 and Formation cost is 1470. This might be more accurate and more balanced.
As primarily a Space Marine player I would look at this and think "For the cost of 2 revenant titans I can bring 3 land raider companies" and I would expect that 60 lascannon shots would take down at least one of them a turn. Now, I say this having not played for many years, so my memory might not be particularly great and I'm probably missing something fairly big here, but that example match up just seems a bit one sided.
That very well may be true. Go ahead and do some testing on that if you are able to, as how Primarch said he was going to.
Also, thank you for the cross-faction comparison. While the formula is intended to make everything points-balanced in comparison to everything else (unlike the old system where each Faction was only balanced against itself), it is likely not done yet. I seriously expect that it will need significant tweaking before being done. This exact sort of comparison will be needed to figure out what needs tweaking.
On that note, if you have never played with a Revenant Titan, please do so. I haven't myself either, but what I've gathered from several battle reports is that they are very powerful and versatile.
