Ah, cool to see some further development of this list, thanks AoC.
Initial thoughts:
1 –
Names1a – 'Farseer Titan' – I assume this is a placeholder name? It might get a bit confusing, since a Warlock has the
Farsight special rule. Perhaps something like 'Spectre' or 'Diabolist', to follow the slightly sinister magic-user feel, or 'Oracle', 'Augerer' or 'Revelator' for a slightly more neutral feel.
1b – I'm not keen on the Titan Warhost upgrade names – I'd prefer to have unique nomenclature, if only to prevent potential confusion. For example, Veteran Titan pilots wouldn't be Exarchs, since they're not Aspect Warriors. Perhaps 'Veteran Steersman', or 'Suzerain' for the exarch equivalent, and 'Potentate' or something for the Autarch equivalent?
2 –
Queries/clarifications2a – Are the upgrades listed in the 'Eldar Titan Warhosts' section upgrades allowed, or upgrades that the Titan comes with? I'm assuming the former.
2b – Will the other Eldar Knights appear?
2c – Gate of Vaul: will this have the proviso that it's not usable if an unbroken enemy formation is within 15cm?
3 –
Suggestions3a – I'd like to see the support hosts being substantially different than the standard lists. The Eldar Titan Clans aren't part of a Craftworld, are they? I thought they were a bit like the Pirate fleets. If this is right, perhaps a sort or Ranger/Dark Eldar Warrior equivalent rather than Guardians/Aspects. Just to give a different feel; a bit like the Ad Mech/AMTL association.
3b – I'm a bit wary of allowing Eldar titans such easy access to
Leader for the simple reason that it's pretty damn hard to put Blast Markers on the buggers in the first place! In addition, the lack of
leader in the regular Eldar lists is a pretty characterful weakness, in my opinion. Eldar Titans should feel slightly more fragile than their Ork and human counterparts, and removing the option for
leader would encourage a slightly more conservative, protective style of play, I think.
3c – The old Eldar Battle Class Titan models had Lascannon wing mounts as well as/instead of the Missile Launchers. Perhaps this could be added in as an option (i.e. get better AT fire at the expense of AA and AP).
3d – The Eldar Power Fist is considerably better than the Imperial equivalent, thanks to the inbuilt lasers. I realise that they're separate lists, but I'd suggest a price rise nevertheless.
4 –
The Farseer Titan4a – I like the idea of an Emperor/Mega-Gargant equivalent, and I think you've gone for a good statline. However, since the Eldar way of war is so different, I think this is a really good opportunity to make something unique. I'd really emphasise the Wraithgate-carrying angle of this thing, and give it lots of support/enhancement rules, perhaps at the cost of its direct-attack abilities. This would be a good way to introduce
Leader or
inspiring into the army: rather than allowing it as a basic upgrade, you could use this super-Titan to enhance others, a bit like the 40k Farseer powers 'doom' and 'guide'.
Anyway, hope that's some good food for thought, and thanks for writing it up. It probably looks like a long list of suggestions for changes, but I really do appreciate the work and ideas you've put in
