I have looked through my rule book and I can not see, Or more then likely not printed the pages, that may or may not contain any restrictions on titan sizes.

I have a titan sized mini that is only slightly taller then the old metal great gargant, but almost three times a long. It does not fit on the 60mm base that comes with the orkeosaurus, It fits nicely on the new style GW oval base (which I think is classed around 120mm*90/95mm) but I dislike the oval base, especially as the rest of my army is on rounds, it would stand out far too much.

I could skip basing it altogether as it is large enough to stand with out one, and has no fear of falling over, but I like to base as I wanted some crew members running about on the ground to help sell the scale/look really cool.

Its fine for the rule set I will using at home, but I'd like to keep this army NetEa compatible in the vain hope that one day I get to play EA.

I think as long as it can fit into a deployment zone and is within the realms of practicality it would be fine....

Wow. Ninja speed response time! thanks!
Yeah it fits in to a deployment zone, with more than enough room to spare. Its going to dwarf almost every other mini I own, but as my secret chaos troops are slightly taller than the average GW epic mini any way, I needed something slightly more imposing! ;)

There isn't any size specified in the rules. Even for infantry where it is specified it's very flexible (I use 20mm round right up to 50x50mm square) and people should be the same here.

I put Warhounds on 60mm bases, Warlords on 80mm and an Exodite counts as Eldar Warlock made from a Warhammer Lizardman Steggadon on a 50 x 100mm Warhammer chariot base.

Thanks for your reply as well GlynG. it will fit fine on a 80-90mm base, so I will happily base away!
