Last week, we reviewed all the Titan cards from the original four races in the Warhammer 40K CCG. This week, we review the Tyranid and Imperial Guard Titans. Which ones will make the cut? Let’s dive in!
Reaver Titan
Race: Imperial Guard
Pros: HUGE stats (highest base firepower in the game). Invulnerable save. Repeatable assault ability.

Heirophant

Scythed Heirodule
Race: Tyranids
Pros: Flag unit. High assault value (most of the time). Potentially devastating reaction ability. Shiny foil.

Rating: 6.5/10 – Don’t Assault Me Bro
Viciator
Race: Tyranids
Pros: Flag unit. Very high assault value. Invulnerable save. Brutal ability vs. opposing vehicles. Situational but strong command line.

Hope you enjoyed this semi-serious review of all the Titan cards in the 40K CCG. It’s safe to say that the majority of them are built more for coolness than for gameplay efficiency – which is totally fine in my book!
