Titan Gladiator

Favored warbeasts of the skorne, the versatile titans can be conditioned and equipped for a variety of battlefield roles. The titan gladiator is armed with massive spiked war gauntlets and uses its weapons and its armored body to pulverize enemy troops and warbeasts. The titan cannoneer is a mobile siege engine, blasting apart enemy formations with its gargantuan siege cannon. Finally, the titan sentry is a living wall, immovable and nearly impervious to enemy attacks behind its heavy shield and thick armor.

Thoughts on the Titan Gladiator

The Titan Gladiator in a nutshell

The Titan Gladiator is an excellent value beatstick, able to pound enemy heavies - and able to support allied heavies with an excellent animus. It does what it does, does it well, and with relatively few frills - other than an excellent slam. It might not be an Angelius or Warpwolf Stalker - but it's significantly cheaper than the latter.

Combos & Synergies

• Paingiver Beast Handlers are part of the strength of Skorne warbeasts, the heavies especially.
• Any heavy warbeast. Rush is a great animus.
• Bronzeback Titan - helps with managing the fury of the Titan Gladiator.
• Zaadesh1 or Makeda0. Rush can be cast on any friendly beast, which means these two models taken can provide two instances of Rush on your main battlegroup per turn, without stressing your main casters fury economy.
• Xekaar lives and breaths the battlegroup alpha hunter and rush + free charges makes it hit hard and fast

Drawbacks & Downsides

• Low Def making it less resilient than that elephantine hide would indicate
• Slow without its animus, and an underwhelming 10” threat with.
• In Disciples of Agony it looks as if the Gladiator's role as animus-caddy for a while was replaced by The Terrorizer as it's a much cheaper (and squishier) model; as of October 2021 the now cheaper Gladiator is taking most of its old role back from the Terrorizer now it's no longer a requisition option.

Tricks & Tips

• Always be on the lookout for a good Grand Slam.
• Two handed throw anything you can't kill
• Rush + Grand Slam + Follow Up can carry him really far across the table. Be careful you don't accidentally go outside your warlock's control range.
