Warhounds are the smallest class of‘true’ titan, although small in this case is purely in relation to its colossal brethren the battle titans. Classified as ‘scouts’ in reference to their standard operational roles within the Divisio Militaris of the Titan Legios, they are commonly used to range ahead of larger titan battle groups or detached in support of lesser ground forces, where the sheer scale and power of their weapons is enough to turn the tide of most battles in their allies’ favour. If matched against their larger counterparts, however, they cannot hope to directly contest them in terms of durability or raw firepower, so instead Warhounds must rely on their speed and manoeuvrability to survive, and use pack tactics to bring down the titans of a main battle line.

All titans mount massive arrays of vox emitters, which can be used to broadcast a deafening blast of sound. Though the exact sound emitted varies from legio to legio, the sheer volume at which it is projected is enough to shatter glass and burst eardrums. It is a warning to both friend and foe - no corner of the battlef eld is now safe, for the gods of battle stalk it.
Models near a Model that activates the Titan War Horn (X) Special Rule must reduce their Advanced Characteristics.Unlike lesser war machines, a titan does not need to rely on the assistance of other warriors for its repairs, for within the metal hull of each such engine resides a dedicated repair crew.
A Model with the Repair Crew (X) Special Rule can repair itself.Titans are equipped with an almost impenetrable array of energy shields. These relics from ancient times are known as void shields, and provide a defence against light enemy fire. Their only weakness is that to protect a war engine the size of a Titan, the energy bubble cannot cover the closest ranges.
A Model with this Special Rule gains an extra layer of defence against Shooting Attacks.

A hail of enemy gunfire serves to keep any warrior’s head down, and some weapons are designed specifically to suppress the foe. Only the most steadfast of troops will continue the advance when all they can hear is the whistle and crack of gunshots and the screams of the fallen.

Template weapons shoot clouds of fire, gas or other lethal substances, rather than shells or bullets.
Weapons and attacks with the Template Special Rule use the Flame Template to determine how many Models they Hit.Some weapons are so terrifyingly potent that their use instils abject fear in even the most strong-willed warriors. In the face of such wanton power the target can only flee or prepare for death, for few would live to tell of the true horrors of the Age of Darkness once they were unleashed on the battlefield.

Some weapons trade precision for indiscriminate destruction, high explosive impacts that can devastate a wide area. From artillery shells to high energy blasts, such weapons are popular tools of destruction on the battlefields of the Horus Heresy.
Attacks made with the Blast (X) Special Rule use a Blast Marker to determine how many Hits are caused.Some weapons can drain even the reserves of titan reactors, their destructive power so vast that they must be reserved for the perfect shot. For lesser war engines such weapons would be impractical, but for the towering war-engines of the Mechanicum such devices are often the only means to fell a foe of equal stature.

Heavy beams and armour-piercing cannon rarely inflict superficial damage, but always blast and break the hull of their target. Such weapons are superior tank killers, their sheer power prized over lesser weapons when the objective is to apply maximum damage without concern for finesse.
