Apoc: super titans tank shock?

[omalley69]

hmm its a pretty short question:

in the apocalypse book, the warhound titant and the warlord battel titan, aswell as the Banelord and so on, are listed as super heavy walkers.
Under super heavy walkers it dossnt realy state that they are able the tank shock...

so a m********ing huge titan cant walk throug a sqaud af spacemarines to assault a tank behind them?

please tell me that im wrong...

(imho they should be able to tank shock with a -3 modifier...)

I don't think any walkers (including titans) should be able to tank shock. Now, super heavy walkers should be able to step over troops no problem, but not break them.

You are wrong.

Super-heavy walkers follow all the movement rules for Gargantuan creatures. Gargantuan creatures ARE allowed to Tank Shock, counting as tanks with front armour 14. Enemies get -1 Ld.

So, you CAN Tank Shock those Space Marines and then happily flatten the tank behind them. Oh, and I hope they don't try to "Death or Glory!", 'cause that might get gory (for them).

Awesome...i totally forgot that part.

Nice. I was quite abit worried.

i think that the sight of a titan rampaging your direction should cause a panic test. maybe just within 24", and only reaver+ titans maybe...

they are described quite devilish in the literature after all.
