At most, a warlord will be able to reach a target 15 km away (according to Titanicus).
Reavers seem to be able to match the range of warlords, though I suppose they would not achieve the a warlord's precision from this distance.
The range of a warhound's weapons is irrelevant, since scout titans are specially designed to engage targets at close range (ambushes, skirmishes, flanking actions, etc).

Imperator titans certainly have a much greater range, since their battlefield role is specifically to hammer the enemy out of the range of its own guns and that they mount weapons so massive they can't even be placed on other titans. However I never read anything concerning their maximum range.

Wow, 15 km is a long range for something like that. That means that Warlord can destroy anything that is even far aways from him.
As for the Imperator it is logical to conclude that advanced weapons = longer range. So it is safe to assume that Imperiator have 15+ km range. They are in fact moving artillery.

What about Titan range when it comes to air? I heard stories that Titans can shot ships in orbit

Actually, most titan engagements take place at long range, like 5 km or more. Their weapons are so powerful and accurate that most of the times, the fight is over before the enemy is able able to close in with the titan.

But shoot ships in space? That's a bit exaggerated. Maybe in very old fluff... I know that the titans were downgraded by GW since their creation.

First of all, their effective range would probably not allow them to reach ships in orbit. Second of all, their weapons would certainly not be able to inflict serious damage to anything bigger then a destroyer.

However, it seems that titans can target any kind of enemy flyer. In most cases, a titan will boast missile launchers and rocket pods as a secondary armament that would certainly allow him to destroy enemy fighters or bombers. In addition, the advanced logis engines used by a titan on its other weapons are perfectly capable of aiming at an approaching flyer (at least at a relatively short range, aka <1000m).

Definately.
