Back in the day, didn't White Dwarf have rules for a Leviathan? I accept that the model would have to be scratch-built but there are Leviathans out there... and they are BIG...

 

Here's one I found on the WWW (it includes the rules):

Thanks Inso, I thought about leviathan and we even have a guy here on B&C who printed it and it's same as on the picture. But that model hardly resemble leviathan from books as from HH and Gaunt series. I wanna build something big even if its a scratch build. and now loocking and analyzing what IG have.  Now I intently looking on IG dropships from novels. There is a variety of it's variants from relatively small like holding few tens of guardsmen to holding tank/supper heavy company. There is also monstrouse things like devourer but if I calculate "miniature" size correctly in 40k scale mu house can fit into it's belly.

The Crassus is Macharius sized, smaller than a Baneblade. The Leviathan, while cool, isn't an official model either. If we're going by old epic stuff though, the Capital Imperialis is the biggest.

But that Leviathan model seems related to the old Epic Capitol Imperialis? And maybe that’s what’s being described in the Gaunt novel? http://www.solegends.com/citcat1991a/cat1991ap125epiccapitalimp-02.htm

the HH about pure comander who was with raven guard (forgot name again) in betta harmon i think and Gaunts book Armour of Contempt describe same machine it's capitol imperialis and leviathan is just a pattern of it. in books it's described a way bigger compare to how it looks as model. well, or it's my imagination make it bigger. but im absolutely sure there is at least 3 valkyrie can land on it simulteneous. gonna recheck it.

added:
i'm become lazy and ask AI so its say (values is averaged cause its give a large swing like length 500-1500 meters)
Height 100-150 m
width  around 500 m 
length around 1000m

They were two different things actually! Leviathan was  the smaller of the two:

Capitol Imperialis, Epic 40000, Epic 40k, Hellbore, Imperial Guard,  Necromunda, Ordinatus, Titan, Yarrick - Capitol Imperialis - Gallery -  DakkaDakka | Roll the dice to see if I'm getting drunk.

Wow - it’s not even close! Leviathan could go inside the big brother. Not sure what that would be like in 28mm scale. You could have a decent game of 40k set inside one I suspect.
