Default Eldar titan base

I was considering getting an eldar titan, but since it doesn't come with a base, i would like to know what I could/should use for a base.
(If this isn't the right section, do forgive me)
thanks in advance

the titans have a base on each foot. not a total base. depends on the size of the titan:

Knight - each foot 50mm
Revanant - each foot 60 mm
Phantom - each foot 80mm

just my 2cents.

Steve, what the sod are you talking about?
Knight - no longer exists.
Phantom - taller than a Warlord titan.

Revanant - the only one you listed actually available from forgeworld, no base.

Some people buy a wooden stand, like a plinth for a trophy. Your probably best making a scenic base of sorts (to give it weight/stability), perhaps with MDF or Hardboard as the basis.
You may need to your a screw through the base and into the titans foot to secure it to the base.

the one on the APOC rulebook is tiny looking, no more than 80mm.

since theyre resin theyre very light, besides you dont want a hge base taking up all that room.

just get the model and see what looks right on it. if you really want it, youll buy it anyway and its not like findin a piece of wood or plastic for the base is going to be hard.

id use a trophy plinth or failing that make your own with a router

The one I saw at GD last year used what looked like a souped up (bigger than usual)flying base to attach just below the odd backpack thing and was about the size of a DP base, though ti wasn't attached to the feet, those had regular GW bases on them. Was pretty stable.
