Sorry. I did not want to discourage the use as a titan drop ship. I think this is a cool idea
I posted because the first picture that came to my mind after reading about droppods and epic was a giant wreckage piece of a starship. So, thank you for that inspiration

To the titan drop pod. I too think that it would fit into a scenario very well where one army attacks the drop pod and tries to destroy it before the podded titan can activate an annihilate the attacking army. The AdMech (Or IG or Marines) are desperately defending. Might make a tense scenario.

Unlike Marines which can spring out of a drop prod ready for killing seconds after it lands I'd imagine a titan would need to be heavily secured and likely inactive while dropping and then it would take a while to warm it up and release it (ideally something that would normally happen a long way away from the enemy but acidents/ambushes happen).

Drop podding Titans were featured in the Horus Heresy book series.

An Imperator and two Warlord Titans (IIRC) drop on a planet along with some Marines for a shock-and-awe battle against some traitors.

And which novel was this, so i can amuse myself with the reading thereof?
