Yes it really is full size, I'm a solid 6 foot 3 and he towered over me at 7 feet tall.



More to come waiting for files to upload.

Is there someone actually in there, or is it just pose-able?

They had a man in there, so he could walk around, do poses and all sorts of stuff.

Drawing with my finger the human proportions ont he screen, above the image, I can tell that the man inside was quite tall to begin with!

The soles of his shoes where the broader section of the boots.

Can you, Count, estimate how thick (tall) where they?

For example, my rought extimation tells me that his crotch must have been more or less 5mm higher than the suit's crotch (using the pictures scale, of course)... that'd be 7.8cm in actual size?

xDDDDD with that added height I'd only be 6.23 feet tall, so even then I'd only make a good scout.

Good for a first timer, could use a matt varnish and some highlights on the plates.

Some washes could have been handy, look at those chest wings and that helmet's mouth xD

WHERE IS THE "AND ORK?!?!?!?!"


We demand a life sized Ork.

If it helps with proportion his knees were where the knees where.

I think it had super-limited to zero vision though, the 2 lady handlers were talking to the marine giving moving instructions, when he charged at the crowd it was almost frightening, as he just about made contact with the first row. and its a fething marine sized guy!

the chainsword didnt work, obviously they don't have the dedication of someone like finnock

To me the various life size suits (costumes) I have seen always seem to be missing something.

They always seem a little bland

That's because they look "thin".

A human body is "2 heads" broad on the shoulders; marines on art are between 2.5 and 3 heads broad on the shoulders.

EDIT:

Just made this to give a rought idea. It's not perfect, but it's there.

Picture of the man inside click on picture of space marine

One more:


And not a single fork was given that day!

And is it just me, or does the eye glow in that last pic of the OP make the Marine seem to have a "I will rip you into over 9000 parts and it wont even be funny how easy it will be" look on his face?

It just looks like he's saying 'For the love of the Emperor...don't make a Blood Raven army!'

More coming.

Sweet thanks man.

Nice one I wanted to see those but the GD staff were blocking the entrance to the area like an hour before the event was due to end! :(

Why does the space marine have the close combat weapon and the ork have the gun?

Because Orkz needs moar dakka!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because the puny Space Marine needs the CCW. The Ork needs only his fists.

Here is a Khorneflake that was at the German Gamesday:

Holy sh... cow. What were they trying to do, give people heart attacks?
That aside, this is awesome.

56k users be warned, lots of pics.

Who is still on dial up these days? Surely even the coldest wettest sheep half way up a mountain in the depths of rural Wales has access to broadband by now.

A large part of the Mid-West in the US is still on dial-up simply because they see no need in switching. They simply have no use for faster internet and generally they just have internet for email. (mind you they are not generally very good at that)

The Khorne zerker looks pretty sweet.

The shoulderpads were a bit small...

Moar!

They were at E3 too. The guy at E3 had a bolter. I guess it looked too much like an actual gun, so they gave him a chainsword instead.

Knornedude is awesome
