Now I tend not to use Titan's that much but Kev loves the models, what can we do to make them a bit more long lived?? ?Tactics anyone? ?I've read Primarch's tacticus on them but it still doesn't stop them dying..

Well I wouldn't mind it so much if the rate of scatter and the distance scattered was a little more variable. Something like dice which were 'Blank, Blank, UP 1, Up 2, Down 1, Down 2' and 'Blank, Blank, Right 1, Right 2, Left 1, Left 2' would be neat. That would mean it'd be more likely for a shot to deviate way off course. And make shooting out things like head-units much less likely for most weapons. Or even if it was just 2 blanks on each dice. Meaning there's a 4/36 or roughly 11% chance for your shot to land on-target I'd be fine with it. But as it is even a Battlecannon has a reasonable chance to cripple or kill a Warlord in a single shot. Especially a unit of russes all going after it at once. IG with a Russ Company costs them about as much as an empty Warlord hull does. And averages about 1 penetrating hit even against the 1+ head-armor on a Warlord. And there's a quite reasonable chance to either cripple the unit's ability to fire/fight or destroy it with that one hit (About 1/3 to destroy it). Due in large part to a combination of the armor-save mods and the way that the template works.

That said: I do like the general rule system for the setting. And the way that the enemies can blow bits off a titan is neat, I just wish it were a little less easy to go 'I shoot your head off. You die.' in a single shot. It's also really silly to think about something like a Leman Russ trying to kill a Warlord. It would be like an Abrams trying to kill an Iowa. It's shells would barely even dent the defenses, let alone do enough damage to seriously harm it.
