Delixe: The Warhound Titan is the smallest Imperial class of Titan and that is huge on a 40K tabletop. I would love a game that features TItans but it has to be around Titan scale. I used to play Epic back in the day and the best thing about it was the massive war machines but infantry were next to useless. Whole companies of men wiped out in a couple of blast markers.

That's quite true but you can use infantry pretty effectively if you plan it right. Back in the days when I actually had opponents, I once had a single squad of tactical space marines who had survived 6-7 major battles and were responsible for the kill-shot on at least 5 gargants
I think a 40K FPS or TPS could work as long as it had the right developer. Frankly most forms of game set in the 40K universe could rock as long as the developers loved and understood it. I'd go for a mechwarrior style titan sim myself

Navagon: There are infantry, tanks and titans in Epic. There are also various titan classes to consider here. We don't have to be talking about the biggest of all.
Imagine something like the intro for the latest iteration of Mechwarrior but with troops and tanks also. It could work. Maybe not at present. But it's something that could be possible in future.

I used to play Epic back in the day and the best thing about it was the massive war machines but infantry were next to useless. Whole companies of men wiped out in a couple of blast markers. Like I said if there was a battle going on around the Titans but you only have to concentrate on Titan class threats then that would be workable. Maybe THQ could get GPG to make an Epic scale game featuring the engine from Supreme Commander.

The problem with the tabletop game is that scenery tends not to get in the way. As I mentioned before, if it was in an urban environment then it could work on several levels at once. Titans would mostly be preoccupied with each other, tanks would dominate the streets and troops would be required to complete certain objectives. Shogo effectively had this kind of balance in places. But the scale and power of the titans would be even greater (but then the size of the level would be that much larger and more complex too).

Nice idea, but I fear the house would only be a giant hangar full of computers :p
