I stumbled across a forum post which listed (incorrectly) the hierarchy of
Imperial titans. However, he's listed the highest classed titan as
"Armageddon", which atops even the Emperor class Imperator.
The OP's source isn't the best, but I figure if it's ever been mentioned in
even a single fluff book, RGMW is the place to know.

Original post as follows:

"-armageddon there are only a handful of these in existence, can be crewed
but has a tendancy to do its on thing its completely sentient. all
armageddon titans have either been completely disarmed or deactivated, one
of them locked away in the core of mars, from the dark age of technology
last time one was armed and unleashed was around the time of the horus
heresey, and while it did a great job of killing almost every chaos unit on
the battlefield it managed to destroy half the imperial units too
got that bit of fluff on the armageddon titan after asking one of the black
library fellows at a gamesdayuk several years ago"

more like "got that bit of fluff on the armageddon titan after sticking my
finger up my ass." I've never read anything like that, and I'm reasonably
certain that I've read everything (published, at least) where it could've
been mentioned.

I don't remember ever reading about an Armageddon class titan... it's
possible I could have missed it somewhere, but I don't think so.

Since that's the only reference to Armageddon Titan on the web (at least
according to Google), it's a reasonably safe bet it's a misremembered
ramble.

Now, to add some fuel back in, my Adeptus Mechanicus rulebook mentions
Psi-Titans ... did GW ever expand upon these? I noticed a couple of forum
posts on Relic and Specialist Games but that's about it.

Hi!

I have all materials ever published for epic, whatever the source, and
there is NO armageddon titan mentioned. This sounds like "made up" fluff.

Psi-titans parts were released by GWUS archive prior to epic A's release
(it is no longer available), along with a host of other rarities like
Eldar exodites and eldar "x" vehicles.
