Well, I have tried to think about this from the very start all over again. For example, will a WarHound with four legs look too Tyranid? (Kind of At-At.) Would this work? I think that sticking to two would be best. That being said, there are basically two types of bipedal legs that I have in mind, sprinters - which are like human legs with a high knee joint - and horse - which are reversed so that the knee bends the other way and is more like the new mini. I like the 'horse' leg joints, but I would put a segmented set of toes on the feet, but now it is starting to sound like a Revenant.
For the rest, at one point I considered using the prow of an Imperial Gothic cruiser, back to back, but I think that this would not look good. I did think of having the cockpit as an observation bubble on the top, instead of under-slung. So far, these are just thoughts, and I will concentrate on getting the legs sorted out. Anyone have any good ideas and references for possible leg sets?
I picked up an old, original Warhoud over the weekend, and was surprised by just how small the mini was, I wil lhave to be careful.
In general, I will go with the smallest minis with two weapons are Warhound, medium with three are Reavers (maybe a couple with two weapons) and largest with four are Warlords. I wont use anything larger than a Warlord. I was also thinking of a dark green colour scheme, with industrial yellow and black details, or white heraldry.

You'd be hard pressed to get one 6mm Guardsman in any Titan head ! But that's G/W ... and now F/W too ! 
But those Titan classes/varients were the original types. The Warounds had varients too (Mastiff and Wolf - issue 109 W/D), and you see that Forge World named their type varients also (Jackel and Wolf [again !]). The names/varients were based on weapons configurations, not necessarily by weapons type. W/D 109 also lists the Vandal varient of the Reaver. But many of these are standardized configurations, like Left arm and Right arm always have the same weapon ie. Las-cannon and Auto-cannon respectively, for example ...
