[Archive] How tall is the Angron model?

Grimstonefire:

Just out of curiosity, I know it’s a bit difficult to measure because of his pose, but how tall is the FW Angron to the top of his head?

I’m wondering how tall a model of Horus would need to be, based on angron.

gIL^:

Horus based on pictures and desriptions would be larger than an ogre, Horus was indeed giant even taller than the emporor which was 12 foot tall.





I would say 14 feet, He is a big chap.

Grimstonefire:

Hmm.  That’s much bigger than I would have imagined.

Based on 28mm (call it 30 to the top of their heads) being the average height of a human and say that’s 6’, that would mean 5mm = 1’.

Which would mean Space marines would be about 7-7.5ft.  I know they’re not true scale in model terms.

Depending on how big Angron is I may be tempted to say Horus should be 1’ taller.

But 14’ would put him at 70mm… Which certainly would make him easier to sculpt!

gIL^:

Thats the question, Whether you want it true scale or not, In true scale Space Marines wouldnt fit on 25mm bases.

For the interest of scale as Angron is a really big Primarch anyway i would do it around his scale.
