Notes
Crew
Most accounts state that a warlord has a crew of one Princeps commanding the Titan and four Moderati controlling the weapon systems4. However Dan Abnett's Titanicus (Novel) differs stating that its crew consists of the commanding Princeps, a Moderati who is second in command, a Sensori, tasked with monitoring and using the engine's sensors, and a Steersman, who moves the Titan.
Height
A Warlord Titan is approximately 33m (100ft) tall according to the scale diagram in the Apocalypse Rulebook,2 equivalent to 23" tall on tabletop. Other accounts have stated it to be in the region of 200 meters (656 feet)5. Depictions of the Warlord in artwork are even less consistent, sometimes showing it to be hundreds of meters tall.
