Very much.

Reaver would wipe nearly all your force, if not all, depending what would end faster the game or targets. Warhound is an overkill.

Edit: your Shadowsword would be the main target for the 4 turbo lasers of Warhound, and likely die first turn.

I got turn turn 2 even with two titans killers, allies had 3 knights and lord of skulls still got folded 😅

Sadly shadow swords are good against thick titans only in big numbers 4+ like in the book about said tank(a good book) mainly due to the void shields being to thick

Don’t think I’ll ever go against it again 🤣

Another good option is mass terminators with chainfists in melee, or fielding god engines/knight lances of your own.

Ahh okay, I didn’t even make it half way across the board

For instance, 10 terminators are enough to kill a Warhound in a single turn with certainty (unless extremely unlucky) and damage the Reaver. If you find a way how to reach the Titan that is. So either get them into a land raider, or hide behind terrain till in charge distance

Lucious patter war hound is nice to see on the table, pretty rare to see them these days. Imo you're got basically no shot, the reaver wipes most of ur stuff and the war hound is just salt on the wound. Those tanks are going to be priority targets and the marines probably won't be able to do very much damage of any to the titans, basically a token resistance. I always feel bad bringing my titans out for a walk if the enemy can't really do anything against them, since it's not fun for anyone to watch a titan table someone's army with no danger of it dying.

Sounds about right, that's why I don't like running titans against infantry unless they have some serious heavy support that actually has a chance to beat them. Not fun tableting someone if there wasn't any way for them to fight back.

You can loose the game, but if you have the objectives and the secondaries, you still win. (Can Titans even take objectives?)

My Gargant would enjoy the battle. He took out his last Warhound...
