Hello all, Ive been planning to build a warlord titan but decided to build a warhound "pack" per say. After that ill start on the warlord, but back to the topic. Do you think I should base my upcoming warhounds? Ive built one and it stands, but its a little shakey. Do you think 2 CDs would work? 1 per foot? Any advice is apreciated!

I used a cd under each foot. I ended up joining them together with a 3rd cd in the middle for extra stablilty.

I think you should for two reasons. First, you'd hate to have all your work ruined if it tips over. Second, the game mechanics need to have all walkers based, as this is where line of sight is drawn to.

Yes more than likely Ill use the 1 per foot idea, thanks for the advice!

Personally, I don't use a base, per se, on my Warhound. My Eldar Titans have no bases whatsoever. They are far more sturdily constructed, being made of resin, rather than cardstock. On my Warhound, I cut two pieces of masonite to fit his feet. This was not so much for a base, but for rigidity for his foot, toes, etc.
I don't want bases on my titans because I want them to be able to put a foot down in the middle of a standard terrain piece, should the need arise. If he has a solid base across his feet, there's no way he's going into a terrain piece.

Actually, that is not correct, per Apoc rulebook.
Super-Heavy Vehicles (pg. 92), the Shooting Phase section says,
"Because super-heavy vehicles greatly vary in size, for the purposes of establishing line of site from a super-heavy vehicle, always use real line of sight, working this out from the barrel of the weapon they are firing. The rules for area terrain apply as normal.

In the same way, always use real line of sight when enemy units are targeting super-heavy vehicles. Again, the rules for area terrain apply as normal."

Titans (in this case, Skavenfreak's Warhound) are not "walkers." They are super-heavy walkers. They are classed as a type of super-heavy vehicle, thus they follow the super-heavy vehicle los rules.
