According to my research, which has also been led up by the black adder, warlord titans should stand at 24" not counting the barrels of the shoulder TLD's. The proportions of the arms and legs are maintained at this height to be aesthetically pleasing standing next to smaller titans., as well UAC, you should check out Blackadders thread....
You and RW, both......

Hmmm, i dunno. Im of the opinion that using the epic models to scale titans doesnt work. But ymmv ofc.
I based my design and height off the art in the apoc book. I overshot height by a few inches though, after adding the shoulders.
@tda: Thats gorgeous! The shading is so great.

I agree whole heartedly. The Epic titans are so very much the same-ish height. However, the fluff and pics have all shown that the heights aren't really that varied, save for the emperator, of course, which towers over the others....
And, actually after checking my main sources, I realize that 28" is what has been agreed upon amongst us Titan Forges:
My, my, what a large photo.....
Sorry....

It amazes me how everyone immediately assumes that the titans are part of a SM force...They are not, they are ALL 100% of the time under the control of the AdMech, never ever ever part of a Space Marine force.

Its fine, gets resized by dakka anyway  That shot looks really odd scale wise to me! Yeah, 28" sounds more feasible to me. Knowing FW though, the official one will end up being shrunk a lot. Iirc, thats what happened to the reaver. Lol! Where did that rant come from dave??

Lols Dave, I've never said otherwise... as I said before, I'm wanting to do my version of the "Dies Irae" from storm of iron, but pre heresy from the Legio Mortis.
I don't have my tape measure to hand but I think, 700mm is roughly 28" so my scale isn't far off ^_^
But also, I'm only scaling up the proportions, I'm not basing the entire build from the epic variant. largely because the Epic version is Lucius... I'm doing a Mars pattern. I must stress that using the Epic version is not to maintain scale between both the titan and the 40k range. It is solely to scale up the proportions.

A slight oversight on my part... The Dies Irae is an emperor class titan... 
No that doesn't mean I'll be building one, I'm sticking to Warlord class lols.

Titans rarely get to go out and play because the Ad-Mechs are so afraid they will be destroyed or lost forever! And though they may support Marines from time to time, it is the Imperial Guard they support more!

I suppose it depends on what fluff you like to read. I read every Guard novel made, so I guess I see it from the little guy's perspective. MILLIONS of little guys keep the IOM going.

True, I like that perspective to, but in the end guard serve as a sheild to get bashed into submission until the big guns arrive. they always seem like a delay tactic until reinforcements turn up.
and tbh, guard are the only race in 40k that have something representational within the rules. everything else doesnt seem to represent its fluff imo.

true, I never did read the GG books, I just couldn't get into them. tbh I think I over simplify the fluff a tad when I'm discussing if on dakka, I love guard and I love their organisation, dafting from new worlds, and even the sub-humans elements.
For me though my heart lies with the Space marines, the whole genetic alteration process and additional organs is a fantastic piece of sci-fi imo. I just don't like the SM's "always save the day" side of the fluff. I like the fact they are small tactical forces used as blunt force to smash their enemies morale, just wish rules wise they were better represented tbh. FNP or extra wounds would do, for a price increase of course. anything to give them battle longevity they have in the fluff.
