Orders to Baneblades?

[Glute]

Is there any method of issuing orders (mechanised) to titanic (LOW) vehicles with the 9th edition codex? 

 

Vaunted Praetorian doesn't work if you only have 1 LOW in your list because you can't order yourself since you gain the officer keyword.  You could order other LOW in your list.

 

I'm trying to find out what 'buffs' you can give a single LOW in a list.  There a few stratagems you can use since titanic units gain REGIMENTAL keyword, etc.

Ummm you can order yourself because you have the keyword of a Super Heavy as a Astra Militarum Titanic unit. The other way to issue orders to a super heavy is through Lord Solar. The main thing about Ordering super heavies is that the orders for don’t bounce to other titanic units.

The officer keyword is irrelevant here, as it doesn't say anything about receiving orders.

 

Generally mechanised orders can go to SQUADRON units and that's it. The reason TCs can't usually benefit from their own orders is because they lack this keyword. Same way it works with regimental/prefectus orders and the PLATOON keyword

 

Vaunted Praetorian also allows orders to go to super heavies, which your Baneblade is, so it can order itself. I ran a Shadowsword at a local event before christmas with that, it was great.

I also ran Vaunted Praetorian on a Banesword and had it order itself and let the order bounce to SQUADRON russ and chimera nearby, it was great

I used it on a Banehammer last night with auto wounding on 5+ and it had a squad of Kasrkin on the shooting deck - it was a death machine with the 5++ from the engineer.

Ingrained precision. You will love to use it every turn while you can. Even your tank was knock down to BS6+, RAW rules says 5 is still a wound.
