why? on anyone but the warhound, you get much better firepower out of taking lasblasters instead.
i know, i know, more maths... but seriously if you have, say, a 6000pt game*, and you wanna take nothing but AT battletitans.**
assuming no multiweapon surcharge and 25pt TLDs, with reavers you can take 9 pure TLD's or 8 pure Lasblasters. with the TLDs, you're dishing out 108 shots. with the lasblasters, 144. one seems a whole lot better than the other (as a note, the 8 lasblaster titans are 50pts cheaper than the TLDs) the same maths for warlords, TLDs net you 7 warlords, which is 112 shots, while lasblasters are again, 144 points. once more, the lasblasters are cheaper (in this case enough to buy a triplelasblaster reaver, for an extra 18 shots)
so on anyone that can take it, you get a much cheaper volume of fire by taking lasblasters than TLDs. if the TLDs where free you'd still get better firepower out of lasblasters!*** i've literally taken the most TLD friendly set of changes (making single weapon titans cheaper, making TLDs cheaper, playing at double standard points so that the cheaper weapon gets an extra titan) and its still way better to take lasblasters than TLDs
so if you're not worried about the warhounds, why are you worried at all?
(*6000pt game because thats the point where you start to be able to get more titans if you take the cheaper variant, so on any smaller scale, the stats would have an even bigger gap) (**hey, at 6000pts who wouldnt want a badass engine-war?) (***yeah, i did that maths too, its 120 shots with the reavers 128 for the warlords)
