Good to see the list! Knights are costed expensive enough that I'm not keen to use them personally, but I quite fancy running trying the titans with the different weapons (the Meltas seem strong for one) and running a 4 Reaver plus Warhound list now a Warlord is no longer compulsory. I like that the Warlord weapons have been up gunned a bit more to make the unit more competitive.
The new Warp Missile is more powerful than the Net-EA version, however it's direct fire only as a downside.

Hi, yeah the ruleset looks pretty good and im looking forward to using it.
One thing that's on my mind is when to allow people to use them in epic armageddon tournaments.
Some people only have the old style titans and not everyone is likes the new ones, so what to do in a competition when players come up against each other. One has the larger scale titans, which are hard to hide behind any terrain and the other has the original ones that can hide behind small buildings.
There a distinct advantage to the person with the smaller titans
In my case i plan to not allow the new ones in competitions unless its a pure AT one.
Thoughts and suggestions welcome
There are also advantages to the larger bases too - you could clump 2 or 3 objectives together at a sort of distance where a larger AT model can just about capture 2 or 3 at once, but where a titan on a 60mm base couldn't.
I don't think you should be restricting what models people can use. Why needlessly put off a large base of potential new players? Epic already has scales all over the place - compare the original Thunderhawk model to the Forge World one and the FW model covers an area of the table several times bigger than the original model, even more of a size increase than the new AT models. Personally I've been playing a epic for decades and I sold off my old titans and bought 12 of the new AT titans to use in Epic (I will dabble with playing AT but have minimal interest), I'd be pissed if I wanted to go to a tournament that disallowed them. I'm glad Epic-UK are fine with them.
