My quibbles with the list
They are but few
Quickly jotted down in between de-nit'ing my daughter!
Well a few things I would question with the list. And where to start
The list. I take it maxing on allies is advised? There are four core units, Warlord, Reaver and Warhound, plus sentinels. Thats really cut down
If you accept non titan units can be fielded why not have more alternatives? Sentinels, Hydra and Skitari spring to mind. Titan legions I'm sure have small numbers of support troops, just as armies have air forces, air forces have infantry etc etc.Flak. Thunderbolts and carapace multi lasers? Thats a bit sparse. I know titans have that lovely story where they mirrored the British navy in WWII, finding out two late about airpower. But surely both before and since then they would have had flak or the story would be in every tale! Still, at least everyone will have to learn how to use thunderbolts well
Navy - AM has its own Navy, so fliers could be in the support section.
Skitari. I realy don't like these guys. 5 is a worse number in Epic compared to 6 for BP purposes making them harder to price properly. Also their stats are a bit wierd. They are apparently twice as tough as Orks and as tough as stormtroopers. Armour save in Epic is a function of physical protection, toughness, speed/size and training (as a destroyed stand ain't nessecerily dead, merely disrupted beyond combat effectiveness). Stormtroopers are elites trained from birth in a sci-fi fashion, skitari are a bunch of soldiers with better than flak armour and some red lights coming out of their eyes. 6+ save fits them more neatly between the two groups and puts them on par with Orks. There weapons are a bit odd as well, they have apparently twice the firepower of regular guard and are on par with marines. I did like the earlier lot with heavy bolters. Higher firepower, but the lack of AT was a nice touch if you consider now they couldn't blow up their nice Armour toys
Cat blow up rules. Fine as a Legio specific rule but the book titans don't need the boost so make it this legio only. Plus does it apply to warhounds?
Warhounds
I'm sure after a few more dozen battle you will come to the conclusion that mono weapon fits are the best, 'cos they are
Epic being the way it is you want the most firepower as quickly as possible and having specialised units make this a lot easier. A fix taken from a previous list would beWarhound - take two different weapons from the scout titan list
Warhound pack - take any 4 weapons from the scout list
This allows people with mono weapon warhounds to use them in pack, but single warhounds have to retain a bit of variation.
Scout weapons
Like the TLD idea. Since you have done that why not include the Rocket Launcher to keep those with them modeled on happy? As to effectiveness I will have to try out the TLD warhound, but it would also depend on other 60cm options if you get rid of single mono mission hounds (but 4 TLD warhound pack for 600 seems a bargin!).
Weapon names
Surely the twin barrel TLD can just be the turbo laser destructor?
Apocalypse Missile Launcher - come on, its a silly name and more importantly a missile is a guided weapon. This thing is a big MRL, saturating an area with rockets, cluster munitions etc. I'm going to keep calling it a rocket launcher
The weapons
Gatlings are the equal of TLD
Love the scout idea. I'll steal it for my legion
Corvus pod ? useless for the list unles si wanted some kind of super transport for my allies. Allowing the troops onboard to fire or even better giving it something like +2EA FF would be better.
CC Weapon equally useless. Why would anyone take it? Previous generic options were a lot better.
Laser Burner ? bit tasty. With a list to exploit it (prob using allies/knights) would be a terror.
Plasma cannon ? OK I see what you want to do with the weapons. Have fun. There was nothing wrong with the 4xMW4+ 60cm though
Melta Cannon ? you really think its on par with a VC? Surely 25 points at the most.
Quake Cannon ? still can't think how to use it well. 3BP Disrupt and 50 points I would use. Anything more cuts into the activations too much.
Carapace landing Pad (its not a fire control centre!) - 150 is how much? Surely if you want to charge lots make it 50 points? But thats just not worth it. Its a thunderbolt Squadron and a free weapon!
Support missiles ? overpriced. You should be aiming for three times as good as a basic weapon and twice as good as a heavy wepaon. But then again you have cut the price already to 75 which should be better
balancing warheads is a game for the future! If you balance with the deathstrike I'm sure they will come down to VC level points.Upgrades. Surely go back up to the previous set of options? Cut down why?
Min maxing
Well of course the ordinatus are there for extra activations? Can't see paying more than 175 for them so always use free weapons. And some things just don't work. One shot weapons for instance are far to pricy to go on. Otherwise I would lower the cost of weapons and raise the cost of the chassis. This does mean stuff like the scout weapons will never be chosen but they never would be unless it was just to min max the chassis.
