Hey lads and ladies, your feedback please?
My FLGS is participating in the 'The Big Game III" on 16 March and I've been given a lend of two Warhounds to use, and will be finishing off the basic construction of my Warlord Titan to use as well.
My main question is, how would you load up the Warlord? All his weapons are interchangeable, and I've already built the Gatling Cannon (and decided to take it). I was thinking twin Turbolasers up on the carapace (shoulders) and a Volcano, Quake or Melta Cannon for his left arm but im not sure.
The Warhounds are optimised for MEQ/ infantry/ transport hunting, so I was going to lean towards the Warlord having the bigger nastier S9/10 or 'D' templates for insane overkill... I will eventually make Vulcan Mega Bolters for the shoulders though, as I'd love to throw down 30 Str6 AP3 shots at 60" range, would be awesome against most infantry. However I can see a load of Superheavies coming out for this one, so I really need some punch...
Thoughts??
Personally, I have always favoured the following build for Warlords:
Left Shoulder: Turbo-Laser Destructor (twin-barrel).
Right Shoulder: Vulcan Mega-Bolter.
Left Arm: Corvus Assault Pod (a 'boarding ram' with enough space for about sixty infantry).
Right Arm: Quake Cannon.
For me, the Corvus is the ultimate addition to a Warlord. After all, what could possibly make a Warlord scarier? Why, the ability to punch a hole in the side of your Bastion and unload half the Ultramarines 1st Company of course!
What about the Death Killy Missile? The one who's name escapes me but lays down a giants 10" circle where everything is simply removed. I mean, DANG.
Other than that, just take anything destroyer you'd like, it'll get the job done versus vehicles.
I didn't realise the Corvus was a Titan mounted device. Although I may be confusing it with the Caestus thing that Forgeworld make.
I tend to look at the Melta Cannon as a good option personally. There is nothing it can't kill, although it is more limited against MC/GCs because will only hit them once.
