Apocalypse: How much, is TOO much?

Hey folks,

In my tiny gaming circle (3 of us) we have two forces of around 20k points, one Loyalist (Imperial Guard, Inquisition, Imperial Fists & Dark Angels) and one Traitor/Xenos (Chaos Daemons, Chaos Space Marines of Black Legion, Thousand Sons, Death Guard & traitorous "Sons of Medusa", plus a few k of Orks).

I've recently been thinking of acquiring a Loyalist Warhound Titan, which my Apocalypse opponent isn't up for at all. Despite he now has Zarakynal, An'ggrath, Scabiethrax, a Stompa, a fighta-bomma & a Brass Scorpion at his disposal, up against my Baneblade & Stormlord/Shadowsword.

So, where do we draw the line? Personally, I'd say a Titan is in the same league as a Stompa, both being Super Heavy Walkers after all, one has more firepower, the other, more bite in CC. The Stompa even has a "Titan Close Combat Weapon" for crying out loud!

Do we think, a Warhound can influence a game of that size to warrant it's non-inclusion? It'll take some stopping, but then so will the other Gargantuan Creatures/Super Heavies on the table!

I certainly wouldn't enjoy facing one myself if I was in his position, but you have to deal with these things in the best way you can with the list you have.

Anyone have any experience with using Titans?

Please, let me know your thoughts.

  1. There is no such thing as too much. That's the point of Apocalypse. It's, well, apocalyptic!
