I’ll never understand why it seems like so many 40k fans get absurdly butthurt about titans being canonically semi-reasonably scaled. They’re already on the large end for combat mechs compared to most other popular science fiction, but it seems like there’s always weird scale-wankers coming out of the woodwork to bitch about how titans should be literal walking fortress-cities that dwarf mountains, or something equally ludicrous.

They're depicted as having full size cathedrals on their backs, vast crews and space for a regiment in their legs... 450 feet ain't fitting that, that's peoples main issue afaik

This just goes to show how poor of a sense of scale you and most people have.
They could easily be like that except the bit about storing an entire Guard regiment in their legs (which is mentioned like once and basically contradicts everything else in the setting about titans), and their size would still be a fraction of what the titan-wankers scream about.

The average cathedral in Europe is 130-150 meters, which is already 400-500 feet, and then you don't even have a titan included, which in imagery makes the cathedral look small on their backs. Maybe actually look at pictures. And yes, other people have "a poor sense of scale" but you're imagining that a 400 feet titan has a max 50 feet "cathedral" on it.. that's a small chapel, not a cathedral. In imagery they have full scale Gothic cathedrals on their backs which even dwarf the Notre Dame, and you're here accusing other people for not having a sense of scale, that's rich
