After some searches through old threads I could not come up with an answer to this question: does Chaos utilize Knight Titans? Are there any examples of this in the background, or were Chaots Knight Titans present in Epic (or whichever mass battle game featured Knight Titans)? I have an idea for a conversion project but wanted to see if there was any source material that I could use to expand upon my idea.

Thanks in advance!

They're pre-Heresy in origin, so I don't see why not.

Yes, although technically Knights are not Titans. They are smaller than Scout Titans.

Though I normally do not like using wikis as sources, the following link gives some color pictures of the Slaanesh Knights and a bit of blurb on them:

Broadly speaking the Slaanesh Knights in Epic came in 3 forms:

Hell-Strider : faster and short ranged anti-armor

Hell-Scourge: Anti-infantry

Hell-Knight: Anti-armor

40K Knights are Grim Dark versions of BattleTech Mechs...complete with noble houses as pointed out in the fluff...

-STS

As stated above, there were models for Chaos Knights in the older editions of Epic. I would assume the Chaos forces will use anything they can get their hands on. I'm sure just as many Knights fell as Titans during the Heresy.

How tall is a knight Titan model-wise? 40 scale.

Don't think it is ever explicitly stated, however one can look for example at the Eldar Revenant Scout Titan, and the Wraithknight (which is smaller) as analogies. The Wraithknight to Revenant comparison is probably about equivalent, except for humans it would be more like Paladin to Warlord.

However, in Epic, only Slaanesh Knights were described. This was partly to differentiate the different Chaos gods. Tzeentch got the flyers and floating Silver Towers. Nurgle got the Plague Tower and Contagion Engines (giant APC and catapult artillery respectively). Khorne got the Khornate daemon engines and the Lord of Battle, which ultimately were all about lots of mid to short range firepower and then close combat, with the Cannons of Khorne being one notable exception to the theme. Slaanesh came out with the Slaanesh Knights and the Slaanesh Scout Titans of the Subjugator and Questor.

Check the Knight house of Devine. The short story The Devine Adoratrice by Graham McNeill and WD 190 give some information.

I've always wanted to build a Subjugator and use it in game.

Chaos had its own knight class titans and did not use Imperial versions. Imperial Titans took no part in the Heresy located on the Knight Worlds. They were never meant to be a military unit and the walkers were passed down father to son in a true feudal type system of agri-worlds run by the knight houses and administered by the Admech. They spend all their time having honor duals with exodite knights.

There are no knight class titans since they aren't titans :p As far as Mars go there were plenty of noble houses defending their own areas, along with the Titan Legions.

They're not really related and I imagine since portions of EVERY faction fell to Chaos there would be noble houses that swore to chaos.

From WD 126

Thus units of Knights are often fielded by Titan Orders and the Imperial Guard. During the Horus Heresy, Knights fought on both sides - many of the agriworlds declared allegiance to Warmaster Horus and were only brought back into the Imperium after decades, even centuries, of terrible armed struggle
