I like warhounds so much I painted an Armorcast 40K scale one. It's
rougly 10" high.

I have some friends who annually played an all titan/tank battle at a
local store before it closed. Though they seemed to enjoy it, I did
notice them adding more and more infantry as the years went on.

There are a lot of rules for titans; inferno guns usually have a 24"
template, Vulcans roll6 to 8 sustained fire, ignoring jams.
