An upcoming fight I'm planning for my DW party will involve a Heirophant Bio Titan. However, there's also going to be a Shadowsword hanging around that the party will probably need to rescue so it can help them kill the titan.

wouldn't it just be simpler playing a kill-team game with those kinds of victim numbers?! i'm not shy of going up against hordes (hell, i've a tattoo planned of my old guard regiment against their favorite punching bags the tyranids), but even for hardened space marines, that seems like a bit much. must've been very memorable, if gruelling, battles.
