From my experience, residential buildings have floor to floor heights starting at about 2.7m, which would probably match 10mm per floor.

Higher grade commercial buildings go up to about 4m or maybe a bit more, which would be about 15mm I think.

However something to keep in mind is 40k is somewhat exaggerated so idea of these big floors just because isn't THAT unreasonable so don't worry too much about the scale. When we are talking about universum where even standard cargo transport is larger than anything we build extra large floors is no big deal

Since I wanted to put some recognizeable infantry and other elements on the bases of my AT Titans and Knights, I tried to figure out what the proper size for these models would be.

That for me hinged primariy on how tall Space Marines are supposed to be relative to the Titans. The AT book contains diagramms for Warhound, Reaver and Warlord with a Marine shown on it. Comparing the printed size of the Titans and the Marines, I arrived at 7.5mm, 8mm and 8.5mm respectively, since the relative size of the Marine wasn't constant between the three drawings. I averaged that to 8mm tall (not eye-level or scale, total height) Marines.

Using that measurement, I scaled my base deco for printing accordingly and populated my bases with mini-dioramas. Joy! =]

TLDR: don't worry what the scale is, 8mm tall Marines look good on AT bases.

Anybody printing 8mm stuff that I can look at?

A wee update, I'll pop this in the OP as well:

Will Hayes was kind enough to reply to one of my periodic hair-tearing sessions on the AT FB group(I've removed most of the back & forth and just kept the IMO two most relevant bits of info):



So this is both good and bad from my perspective. Good in that we have some fairly solid confirmation of 8mm-ish Marines, so my measurements of the Titans should be about correct. Bad - or at least disappointing - in that they've chosen to go with a simple downscaling of existing 40K models where that's required(such as the Xiphon and Leman Russ wrecks on the FW terrain tiles) rather than establishing a consistent scale based on the "real" numbers for vehicles.

The TL; DR takeaway then is that Marine infantry(should we ever see it) and the Titans themselves will be pretty close to "truescale 6mm", but beyond that anything we see will have a lot of variance depending on how their 40K models are sized and proportioned.
