Does anyone know what size base a titan needs?
Would a dragon forge 120mm base work?
Thanks for any help in advance.

I'd build your titan first, then find a base that fits.

Problem is if I make the legs too far apart then I wont find ANY base that fits. So if it will roughly fit on a 120mm I will build to suit.

I'd go for MDF. Once you've built your Titan, trace an ellipse around it's feet and make the base from the design. If you go for a circular base, it'll be easier for enemies to get into assault.

120mm Diameter sounds really small. That´s about the right size for a AdMech Knight walker, but titans (depending on the class) are far larger.
I´d guess at least 200mm diameter, possibly even 300mm.

Just did a couple of quick measutements on my titans: If you're basing a Forge World Warhound or Reaver then a 12" diameter base is fine for both of them.

I didn't think that Titans actually needed bases, since they're so big.

It helps, as no-one wants to see £550 of Titan tipping over because some little kid poked it a bit too hard.

There is no fixed size for a titan base. Don't put too much clutter on it and follow the normal rules of 'have to be in contact with the legs to hit it' works, since the base is purely to stop it falling over.
