	Most races own a titan of some sort. Each race's Titans reflect the design philosophy behind the rest of their armies. So Imperial Titans are walking Cathedrals with Gothic architecture with guns poking out of every crevice, [[Chaos]] Titans look like a doom metal rock concert made of spikes and evil with guns poking out of every crevice, [[Ork]] Titans are cartoony and cobbled together out of odds and ends with dakka poking out of every crevice, [[Tyranid]] Bio-Titans are essentially (even) more toothy and (even) more tentacle-covered forms of [[Monsterpocalypse\|Monsterpocalypse]] with squishy bits that work like with guns poking out of every crevice, [[Necron]] [[Seraptek_Heavy_Construct\|Titans]] look like giant spiders with big guns poking out of some crevices (and their eyes) as well as bigger front legs, [[Tau]] Titans look like something straight out of [[Approved Anime\|Gundam]] with guns poking out of every crevice, and [[Eldar]] Titans are sleek [[wraithbone]] Slendermen.

Also they have guns poking out of every crevice. We're not sure what [[Leagues of Votann\|Squat]] Titans look like, but expect some sort of colossal Ironkin.

	None of the fluff writers seem to have a consistent idea of how big a Titan is (other than that it's big); [[Graham McNeil]] says an Imperator is 43 metres tall, [[Dan Abnett]] says an Imperator is over 140 metres tall, and the cover of the graphic novel ''Titan II: Vivaporius'' shows a smaller Warlord with access ladders on its guns suggesting each barrel is the size of a house, meaning the Titan itself would be over half a kilometre tall. However, as Titans have to be shipped to where they are going to be used, they can't be a (very) substantial size relative to Battleships (the largest ship available to carry them); we can't be certain of Battleship sizes either, but best guesses place them at 8-12k long. Combined with the fundamental scaling issue that Titans can't fly but Attack Craft (commonly 70-100 meters) can, so Titans would simply never be fielded if they were substantially larger, and 43 meters becomes far and away the most reasonable of those three guesses. Though some source says the Imperator/Warmonger is 80 meters tall, matching a common pattern of Fury interceptor's length.

	First is the Apocalypse Class, which is to the Imperator what the Imperator is to the Warlord and is the biggest Titan of all. Though there are no images of it, it would most likely be a skyscraper-sized monster that would make anything that saw it shit their pants. Eisenhorn once described seeing one at a triumph on a hive world, saying that it looked like whole sections of the hive moving. The second is the three-legged Punisher-class Titan, which was used during the War of the Beast. Third is the Warlord Sinister Class, of which only 25 were made during the Great Crusade. While the Eldar make ''exclusive'' use of psychic Titans, this is the only known ''Imperial'' giant psychic death machine ([https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-US/Adeptus-Titanicus-Warlord-Sinister-Psi-Titan-2020 And it has a model now too]! <s>Suck it, Eldar</s> No don't. We weep for you Eldar players). The Rapier class Scout Titan was even smaller and faster than a Warhound, mounting only one weapon and comparatively minimal armour and shielding. They were already a rarity in the closing days of the Heresy and the design seems to have been discontinued.

	The ''second'' most important component of a Titan is its warhorn. Ok, we're not being quite serious here, but the warhorn is, after all, the closest thing that a Titan has to a voice, a thundering bass note that declares, '''''Here I am, fight me if you dare''.''' When they are going into battle, and especially when they are actually in battle, Titans use their warhorns to challenge and honk at each other ''a lot.'' The horns are also used to warn friendly forces to get the heck out of the way or risked getting caught underfoot. Squishy.		The ''second'' most important component of a Titan is its warhorn.

	During the Horus Heresy, several of the Titan Legions defected to Horus, giving [[Chaos]] its very own supply of Titans. Most of them are relatively similar to their loyalist counterparts but some enterprising members of the Dark Mechanicum and the Word Bearers experimented with creating actual Chaos Titans, either by having the princeps be possessed or infecting the Titan's sentience with a warp entity; in either case, such Titans are very savage. A very small number were created during the Heresy but more were created after.

			Traditionally, there had been four sizes of Titan (not including knights); increasing in size, they are Warhound, Reaver, Warlord, and Imperator, and are fairly easy to understand in terms of size difference and power. But as of more recent updates, Forge World has introduced a large number of in-between size classes where a smaller Titan chassis carries a single weapon from the chassis size above it. This allows one to field more large weapons without having to build a full-sized chassis to carry it. A number of rarer, specialist Titan classes that use the chassis of an existing class have also been introduced.

	The [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] being, well, the Adeptus Mechanicus, means that Titans can't be autonomously controlled. That would be tech-[[heresy]]. So, each Titan has a crew ranging from three to six, or an unknown number in the case of Imperators, and several servitors. Each and every Titan knows its crew, and vice versa- the machine spirits make strong bonds with each member, strong enough that the crew, but especially the Princeps, feels the Titan's pain when someone shoots it with a volcano cannon or some other rape-gun.

Each and every Titan knows its crew, and vice versa- the machine spirits make strong bonds with each member, strong enough that the crew, but especially the Princeps, feels the Titan's pain when someone shoots it with a volcano cannon or some other rape-gun.

	'''The Princeps''': The Princeps is the highest-ranking officer onboard each Titan. They're the head honcho, as they directly interface with each Titan's Mind Impulse Unit. They're the one issuing orders to all other members of the crew, and the one who feels the worst of the Titan's pain and emotions. In a sense, when the Princeps is plugged into the MIU, they ''become'' the Titan. Skin becomes metre-thick armour, arms become guns able to cremate city blocks, and eyes and ears become sensors able to see for miles. ~~It requires such willpower and skill to command an engine of~~ this ~~calibre~~ that ~~[[Derp\|only one in ten million candidates can become a~~ Princeps]], ~~and a Forge World will do absolutely anything~~ to ~~bring a~~ Princeps home. In some larger Titans, or following near-fatal injury, [[Grimdark\|A Princeps may be permanently interred into an amniotic casket, never to leave again - they become a mutilated monster, overgrown with increasing amounts of technology and slowly slipping into madness as their flesh withers and their connection to humanity decreases.]]		'''The Princeps''': The Princeps is the highest-ranking officer onboard each Titan.

Unfortunately, this ''also'' means that the Titan's pain becomes the Princeps', to the point where "death by fried brain" is almost as common as "Death by being shot at" for Princeps.

	'''The Moderati''': The Moderati is the second in command aboard an engine. It is their job to a) make the final checks on the Titan's systems before beginning to walk, b) inform the Princeps of anything that might be of interest or danger to the engine, and c) be prepared to take command of an engine in the event of the Princeps' death. They outrank all save for the Princeps, and the two usually serve long enough together to become friends. When the Princeps is doing something else, they're also the one(s) to take command of the main weapons, like the ones on the arms/carapace; due to this connection, they also feel a diminished level of the Titan's pain and emotions. Though it's rare, Moderati can actually be promoted to the rank of Princeps (usually that of a Warhound) after extensive and lengthy service.

	'''The Sensori''': The Sensori shares rank with the Steersman, and it is their task to man the auspex and to act as the Titan's senses. If the auspex picks up an enemy unit, it's the Sensori who alerts the Princeps or Moderati. The Sensori is also in charge of maintaining or establishing communication with friendly units.
