When I first started using the list I thought that extra activations were more important than good gear. I now invest in a Melta-cannon, a triple barreled turbolaser, a couple of veteran princeps, a holy icon.
Easily enough points for 1 or 2 extra activations, as my confidence grows with my titans Ill sprobably spend even more on weapons. There isn't much point in having a 600 - 900 point titan if it doesn't do exactly what you want it to do every turn.
I dissagree. Activations can break Epic. The game assumes roughly similar activations. You need I think a minimum of 7 on the ground and with ever more tweaked lists 8+ is what I would need with any army to feel I had a hope.
(As an aside my longest strong of draws was with a pre version 1 AMTL army of just Battle Titans and a some thunderbolts!)
Yes you can create super titans but unless they are indirect (assuming you have the proper amount of terrain 12 pieces of up to 30cm to a side for a 6x4 table) the enemy can just avoid you and concentrate their fire on certain types of target.
People like Tim and me will always just go for as many hulls as possible as titan hulls are excellent in their own right. Stuff like TLD's can be carried by Warhounds which are cheaper in points per gun._________________
