That reminds me of an extract from "Inquisitor"
The entrance to the Emporers audience chamber has two pillars each of which
is actually a Warlord titan. These titans have been there so long that
their feet and carapace's are embedded into the floor and ceiling
respectivly but are fully operational and can break free and fire within
instants. It is the ultimate honour to crew one of these machines.
A good game which goes into this more is the board game based on Horus's
attack on the Imperial palace. There were a couple of loyal chapters
involved (Imperial Fists, White Scars, ???). This was based in the 31st
millenium though. Chapters were much bigger then (10,000+ marines).
Wouldn't there be, like, 10+ marine chapters based on Earth? Along
with a couple of titan legions and a couple of trillion Holy Men?
However, what you said could well have been in the fluff, it does ring
a bell...
