Guess I dont have your stamina.  

I thought it became abit silly when it was talk about a CC weapon for 200-250 pts. That is not what I wanted. Hopefully we can see something in an options book later on.

Stamina?.. Nah, it's a pathological inability to quit. I always did get back up for another go... even if it took a while... like a month or so. *Ding! Ding!*

Hmmm, see... at that stage I never used the points system for Titan Weapons so the 250 jibe was wasted on me. Funny how all the other close combat weapons are sooo cheap (+25 points for a chain fist) but mention an Eldar Titan and they all wet their breaks.

The Eldar Titan Princepts scryes the battle from within his Titan...
"You want close combat you Chaos motha's I'll give you combat... hey, what for you all run away for?!. Come back!.. You cowards."


Specialised Shooting Titan - balls out shootyness as is standard now.
Specialised Close Combat Titan - balls out stabbyness as I am suggesting.

Allow the choice to trade one for the other to vary the Eldars game play.

Give them the weapon and see what happens. If it's bad, take it away again, but lets have some fun with the pen-knife of doom.

How 'bout this?

                                  Range        Attack Dice      To Hit      TSM         Notes
Wing LasCannon  [          75cm                 2                3+       -2
                               [  -----------------------------------------------
(choose one)         [      CC                                                       Hits D6 times


Adds a 'Laser Burner' capability to the already existing Wing Weapon,
and fits the existing precedent of the Pulsar and Pulse Laser:
{ Eldar laser Tech is "adjustable" based on combat situation/lens focus}


{.... and I -still- like the Sword idea.... }

See! See! It is a good idea! Players still want this!

Thanks Volstagg, the internet cookie is on it's way to you my friend.

Not sure of the laser burner idea, too Imperial. I would rather take an already Eldar Close Combat ability and inbiggen it to Titan Scale.

Great idea to revive this dusty old thread.

I was thinking something about a sword. What do you guys think about that?

The problem as I see it is the +12 caf of the nonpsy titan. One of the biggest reasons is the imperial/chaos titans/demons have ways to increase this but the only thing the eldar titan can do is to run away.

My initial idea wasn't to make a killer Eldar Close combat Titan... *cough*      No, really it wasn't my intention, honest.

The idea was to allow them to keep some sort of parity for when they do face a close combat Titan. At the cost of an Eldar Titan weapon slot.

The Sword seems to tick all the boxes with the most people.

Me too! I also still want the eldar titan to have an OPTION of actually fighting in close combat with its counterpart, and a sword does seem like the way to go ( and thats not just because I love the 40k dreadnought with its sword that looks fantastic =)

Yeah, but the Grinch ( ) will be along soon to Kibosh the whole plan into deep sleep again, soon enough. It's not like there is a majority win on the poll even. It's close enough to a 50/50 stalemate.

Oy! We want a voice damn it! We're fans too! *sigh*

I like the Sword stats but a parry ability would be very Eldar too. Something that allows it to deflect damage or avoid it.
