Hi
I know most of the titans here, and I was thinking of me and others and post what the different titans are our opinion on them and any quires. Like this one-does anybody have the measurement for the reaver, warhound, warlord and emperor classes titans? If there is an titan that I haven’t mentioned please feel free to say so and if it is possible post something like what I have done e.g. the name any facts or stuff (like what class is it) and a picture of it so I will copy and past that into here so it is easy to get to with who wrote it. And without fever ado…
knights
I don’t know if this if right but there are knights. Knights were used before the Horus Heresy as mini Titan’s and piloted by a single man, and were designed to protect herds of big animals. In time of war, they would join up with the imperial armies and pulverise the enemy. Because this titan is an epic model there really isn’t any rules for it, however The source and the epic models are both armed with an Titans chainsword and some sort of rail gun.

The Warhound class Titan is a scouting titan that compared to the other Titan’s it is lightly armoured. They are normally used to outflank ermines or to go into groups of 2 to support a larger warlord or Emperor Titan. The reason for warhound Titan can only go into no more that groups of 2 because of the Horus Heresy when Horus landed on terra groups of 10+ Chaos Warhound Titan’s went around terrorising terra civilians. So after the Horus Heresy the Imperium put in rules to makes sure this would never happen again. The Warhound is the first Imperial Titan that has received an official model kit from forge world in the warhammer
40k scale. Available in several patterns, classes and choice of weapons these are the Vulcan mega bolter, plasma blast gun, inferno cannon, turbo laser and the plasma blast gun. They stand over 10 inches tall when assembled, and are 25 meters (75feet) tall in "real life. “The rules for the warhound titan can be found in the Imperial Amour and Apocalypse book.

oop book that
gw did this was show on 2 websites wikia that it doesn’t say about that it being an extract and another website that I forgot the name and I am not able to get a hyperlink Also there is an another website supporting Warhounds are only meant to be in pains(it is on the 2nd page):

The Reaver class Titan is a medium-sized Titan and the smaller of the two known classes of Battle Titans. They are more durable than Warhounds, and are able to take roughly double the amount of damage of a Warhound. This extra durability is probably a result of the unusual placement of the plasma generator on the back of titian, while in most of the Titans the generator is normally in the centre (or core) of the Titans, hence the term "energy core." This makes the Reaver Titans able to take more damage on the frontal parts of the titan. This makes it different to the other Titans of the same class. Unforchently this can severe as a disadvantage when in close together environments (such as cities, hive cities or canyons). They stand under twice the height of a Warhound - at 40 meters (121.92 feet). The Reaver Titan is apparently an older design than the Warlord.
Most of the weapons the Reaver’s may carry are Multiple Rocket Launchers on their carapace mounting and easily use all of the weaponry of the warhound. Also Reaver’s are able to use Titan powerfists for Titan-scale mêlée battles. It is also said that Reaver’s are becoming increasingly rare in Imperial armies, and it is possible that the technological secrets to their manufacture have been lost to the Adepts Mechanics Forge worlds (and is common fate for the more advanced Imperial technologies).For these reasons, Reaver-class Titan usually perform fire support, avoiding direct combat. There are many different pattern Reaver’s these are The Mars Pattern Reaver-class Titan's carapace mounts a Multiple Rocket Launcher and Turbo-Laser Destructors on each arm. The Lucius Pattern's carapace bears a Rocket Launcher, with the arms carrying a Volcano Cannon and Gatling Blaster. There is also a fire support variant of the Lucius, with Multiple Rocket Launchers on all three mounts. The Reaver is the second Imperial Titan that has received an official model kit from the Forge world Warhammer
40k scale.

The warlord class Titan is one of the biggest titian available to the Imperium. Even if there is currently not an official model for the warlord titian there is still many scratch build ones made out of card board or plasticard etch. They appear to be the most common class of Battle Titan in use by the Titan Legions, and many forge worlds field their own personal patterns. The Warlord is exactly 50% larger than the older Reaver class Titan, putting its height at around 60 meters (182.88 feet). The Warlord Titan is also able to withstand considerably more damage than the Reaver Titan. Also because the warlord Titan is a whole lot bigger than the reaver it is able to withstand more damage and host 4 weapons instead of 2. This allows more weapon configurations and classes such as the Mars Pattern Warlord that mounts two Turbo Laser Destructors on its carapace, with a Volcano Cannon and Gatling Blaster on the arms. A special variant carries a close-combat Powerfist a Gatling Blaster on its arms, plus Vortex Missile and Rocket Launchers on the carapace. The way that warlord Titan began to be used was first in epic that was put into the Apocalypse book. If someone is to construct a Warlord, it should be approximately two feet tall to be of the proper scale alongside the other models.

http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Titan The Emperor Titan
The emperor Titans are the biggest best titans available to the Imperium of man; they are divided into 2 groups the Imperator and Warmonger Of these, the Imperator-class is a general-purpose assault platform, where the Warmonger-class is a fire support unit with advanced fire control and targeting systems. Both of these are extremely powerful weapon systems and are often unmatched by an enemy force on any battlefield where they are deployed. They are loaded to the max with pre- installed weapons, and their mounts can handle special Titan weapons too big for average Battle Titans (they do not carry any of the close-combat weapons, as their primary focus is on extreme firepower). The Emperor Titan are very rare, and can crush many weaker war engines. This type of Titan has legs so large they can house a full company of Adeptus Mechanics or imperial guard troops for defence and assault assistance. These Titans can stand up to 150 meters (approximately 400 feet) tall.
In Winter Assault, the planet Lorn V Houses the fallen Mars Pattern Imperator-class Emperor Titan Dominatus. The size of the Imperator-class Titan is driven home by the fact that in the last mission, most of the map is dominated by the half-buried fallen Titan , laying on its back, with exposed parts protruding through the earth like massive buildings. Once the Titan is partially repaired and powered up, even the guns studding its joints, labelled as "minor hull defence weapons" are able to destroy heavy vehicles in just a handful of shots. In the
PC game Dark Crusade, the planet Kronus bears the right arm Hellstorm Cannon of the Imperator-class Emperor Titan Aquila Ignis, dismembered in a titanic battle during the Horus Heresy ten millennia prior. The Hellstorm Cannon was so large that its firepower carved a huge trench in front of where it lay. In the game, the fallen cannon's capacitors can be slowly charged by an entire array of powerful thermo plasma generator buildings. When fired, any units that are caught in the trench that mark its firing path are instantly destroyed. No unit in the game is durable enough to survive even a single blast.

Castigator Autonomous Bipedal Walker
The Castigator-class autonomous bipedal weapons platform was a corrupt
STC Titan found on the planet Chaeronea. It differed from Titans that the Imperium currently uses in that its head did not jut from the chest but actually was above the shoulders, as well as being markedly superior to more recent designs. The Castigator in fact claimed to be the original titan, and that all subsequent titan designs were but crude copies, "pale imitations made by ignorant children". The titan was armed with a twin-barrelled cannon that launched daemons (it was later discovered that this was because of an ancient pact with the Ruinous Powers) and a titan class power fist. The Castigator did not believe it was a daemon until Alaric convinced it that was true. It was possessed after millennia in the warp. The Grey Knight Justicar Alaric slew the Castigator while the Grey Knights Dvorn and Haulvern destroyed the
STC.1
