Kinda the right tone.

In the 40k lore, the big mechs (Titans) are piloted by heavily modified humans, in many cases ones that can't live outside a tank.

If you're interested, Titanicus by Dan Abnett is a great starting point.

I thought those were Dreadnoughts, not Titans?

Dreadnoughts are piloted by mortally wounded Space Marines, essentially it's a life support pod in a big walker think tank big.

The smallest Titan is a Warhound - think three story house. Titan pilots are also (exceptional) baseline humans that have augments.
