I was pretty sure I was going to be facing Tyranids, but I didn't want to take an army especially tooled up to fight bugs. I just wanted to try the Cyclops and Colossus together
. The one concession I did make was the Fundmentalist.
OzT's big bug was on the other side of the city after deployment, and it would have had to have run a pretty scary gauntlet to cross over and chase my praetorians. Having said that I have been singularly unsuccessful in dropping a Heirophant to date so it may well have been worth the risk....under the NetEpic rules Squats are a bit (well, ok, a lot) stuffed when it comes to fighting bug titans (and any other Titan geared for close combat).
Which is why I almost always deploy my bio-titan in th center. So as to be able to reach any part of the table equally.
Squat firepower is awesome as well as fearsome. The best remedy is rapid deployment units. Gargoyles from harridans or drop spores are the most effective methods. I generally drop one or two detachments on thunderers to deny them one or more turns of profitable shooting at my main force.
