I know the Lords of Battle PDF is sort of the default answer to this question, but as I have just completed a titan conversion of my own, I decided to use the VDR on Army Builder to Draft my own rules.

I upscaled the price to 400 from the 388 it suggested, so I could err on the side of balanced. I have not gotten to playtest the bad boy yet, I'm saving it for an upcoming Horus Heresy Event. I justified the Armor Points as it is only fair to assume that a warmachine of the Adeptus Mechanicus would have armor equivalent to a normal Leman Russ Battle Tank. The CCW shows the Close Combat Emphasis placed on these death dealers by the Adeptus Mechanicus, and the Attacks to put it in line with Existing Walkers. The initiative puts it at normal human initiative, because it has a normal human pilot. The point would be to run a bunch of these guys to support a "Proper" titan and hold off Stompas and other CC threats.

Critique, no matter how scathing, welcome.

hmm good idea but why not make up the rounded points by making it a long barreled battle cannon?

It didn't seem appropriate. This is essentially a plus sized Defiler, so giving it a normal Battle Cannon would turn it into a gun battery with a WS. I also feel like it would be a more practical decision to mount a smaller version of the battle cannon on the Titans arm than use the cumbersome full sized cannon.

I always think Knights should use Titan Close combat weapons (like the similarly sized stompas) rather then DCCW since they are so much bigger (the weapons).

Another option for upgunning it slightly would be to give it a two shot battlecannon, while still keeping it short-barreled.

Also pics?

Nice rules, although Knights aren't titans.
