It's a standard part of the HH/LI development to design models in both scales at the same time to get details consistent, even if they don't intend to immediately make a full scale plastic kit. GW then use renders (or possibly 3D printed prototypes) of the higher detailed models in HH artwork, particularly for box art.
It's entirely possible that Valrak has just heard about this and is extrapolating it into a plastic warmaster in addition to the other kits.
The HH titan rules very strongly imply that a 28mm (almost certainly resin) warmaster is planned.

It's not terribly obvious, but in the bottom of the collage image you can see a bit of his torso. See spoiler below (spoilered for size). He's leaning out of the Vostroyan nutcracker's chest hatch.
The anatomy is fine as far as that goes with GW models. But as is so often the case, GW's photographers just can't resist taking pictures at the most unhelpful angles.
Spoiler:
Nehekhara lives! Sort of!
Why is the rum always gone?
I think the issue is how the back of his coat pops up and makes his head look lower on the body than it is coupled with the beard covering it entirely from the front. It combines to make the head look likes its just floating out there rather than emerging from the viewport.
Do I need another titan? No, no I do not. Will I get one? Likely. I can see why they did a Warhound over a Thunkerhawk though. Every Imperial and Chaos army can use one. Plus, flyer rules are a bit janky at the moment.

Is one of those Imperial Armour books on the way? Maybe with the Warhound and Eldar Titans as the accompanying model releases?
I'd be surprised if they did, but the eldar titans will be simpler and easier to make with less parts than the imperial titans.
If they wanted to save money they could include chaos and drukhari parts in the boxes to allow each to make a titan for two factions. It would probably not be as comprehensive as a pure faction specific model, but certainly more feasible.
If we assume the Great Gargant (forgot I had a second one) are about the same as a Warlord, add in another 7,000. Imperator, 5000 more for my homebrew rules.
That's not including the 8 Knights, or Wraithknight.

Yep, there are clues on the Warmaster model that it was sculpted at the larger scale, the obvious one being mounting sockets for underarm pistons that do not exist on the smaller scale model, the Warlord has the same thing, with the larger version actually having the pistons.
I would love a 40k scale Warmaster model as the original concept art was my favourite Titan design back when it first appeared in WD 106, but I'm not holding out much hope at this point, as FW seem to be winding down a lot of their resin production and I get the impression the Warbringer was maybe a bit of a flop.
They just need to do the Imperator version that has the castle on top, and it'll fly off the shelves.
It's the pretty much the right size from the artwork done for the Heresy books, (as cool as Battlebling's Warbreaker looks) it just needs all the fancy stuff up top.
Spoiler:
Head of the Imperator in line with the top guns of the Warlords marching just to the front and rear
Head of Warmaster in line with the top guns of Warlords
Biggest issue I see for Titanicus is that none of those guns were really anti-Titan weapons, but in LI a Titan having a bunch of extra battlecannons and an anti-air defense lasers is going to make all the difference, not to mention to anti-infantry regiment of Tech guard embarked on board to repell boarders.
