'''Titans''' are immense war machines built in humanoid form. Most of the major races and forces of the galaxy utilize their own forms of Titans. [[Imperial Titan]]s are built and deployed by the [[Collegia Titanica]], the most powerful military arm of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]].
==Imperial Titan ClassesTitans==*{{main|Imperial Titan}}[[Imperial]] Titans are known as '''God-Engines''' and are controlled by the [[Collegia Titanica]], a powerful military arm of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. The Collegia oversees the various [[Titan Legion]]'s, each of which are based on a [[Forge World]]. Titans originally began as [[Human]] technology to allow settlers on new worlds to function in hostile environments, but today the god-engines are the most powerful fighting machines of the forces of the [[Emperor]]. The construction of Imperial Titans takes many years, and many of the more complex designs are considered lost technology.{{Fn|5a}} ====Imperial Titan Classes====
*[[Warhound Scout Titan]]
*[[Rapier Scout Titan]]
==Chaos Titans==
*{{main|Traitor Titan Legions}}The forces of [[Chaos]] utilize Titans largely drived from those of the [[Imperium]]. These are operated by the [[Traitor Titan Legion]]'s and maintained by the [[Dark Mechanicus]]. Many of these Titan engines have become corrupted over the years by the powers of the [[Warp]] and are now furious engines of hate possessed by [[Daemon]]s, their pilot little more than a slave to the machine. Chaos Titans are heavily mutated, often sprouting tails or techno-organic appendages.{{Fn|5d}}{{Fn|6}} ====Chaos Titan Classes====

====Titan-class Daemons====*[[Daemon Behemoth]] ==Craftworld Eldar Titans==
*{{Main|Eldar Titan}}
[[Craftworld Eldar]] Titans are very different from those of the [[Imperium]]. They are tall, slender, and graceful and built around the psycho-plastic known as [[Wraithbone]]. They benefit not only from the experiences of their crews (who are brought up with Titans from birth) but the collective conciousness of the large [[Spirit Stone]] at its core. This gives Eldar Titan's a consciousness of their own.{{Fn|5c}}
 
====Craftworld Eldar Titan Classes====
*[[Warlock Battle Titan]]
*[[Phantom Battle Titan]]
*[[Revenant Scout Titan]]
==Ork Titans==[[Ork]] Titans are normally given the classification of [[Gargant]]. These are ramshackle warmachines that begin to appear in particularly successful [[Waaagh!]]'s and are religious totems to honor [[Gork and Mork]]. Gargants are miracles of Ork ingenuity, built by prodigious [[Mekboyz]] and crewed by a combination of Orks, [[Gretchin]]s, and [[Snotling]]s. Though crudely built, they carry awesome firepower and bizarre technologies.{{Fn|5b}} ====Ork Titan Size CategoriesClasses====

*[[Supa-Stompa]]s
==Tyranid Bio-Titans==
The [[Tyranid]]s have created a number of species that are Titan in size. These are wholly organic beings often resemble giant spiders and scorpions and are deployed against the most stubborn foes of the [[Hive Mind]]. As with all Tyranid organisms, rapid mutation and adaptability is common to Bio-Titans. They appear to be a composite of several creatures so closely meshed together that they have since become indistinguishable. Bio-Titans are notoriously difficult to kill. Equipped with the thickest of chitin armor, the creature can still often function even if badly damages.{{Fn|7}}

*[[Dominatrix]]
*[[Hierophant]]
*[[Vermis-class Bio-Titan]]
==Tau Necron Titans==*The [[KV128 StormsurgeNecrons]] (do not utilize standard Titan war engines, though they do have several titan-scale war engines such as the [[KnightMegalith]] class)*[[KX139 Ta'unar Supremacy Armour]] ({{Fn|8}}, [[KnightÆonic Orb]] class) ==Chaos Daemons==*{{Fn|9}}, and [[Daemon BehemothAbattoir]]{{Fn|9}}.
