Hello, I was wondering how big a couple of titans were in game size, not fluff size. I want to build an imperitor class titan, and a warhound class titan. So I was wondering how big and wide they would be I need some measurements before I can get started.

Finland... the country next to Sweden? No! That's Norway! Finland is to the east! No! That's Russia!

An Imperator titan is 54'' tall if I remember correctly... and the Warhound titan is roughly the size of a small dog (AKA I don't know )

Sweet Jesus, Nurgle and Slaanesh in the same box!?
No, just Nurgle and Slaanesh, Jesus will be sold seperately in a blister.

Images were taken from the Apocalypse rulebook, the Emperor datasheet, Forge World, and my living room.
For titans without a known height (ie those that do not yet exist at this scale) height was determined by overlaying the warhounds provided in each image for comparison and adjusting the size until they matched up -
so in theory the warhound, warlord and emperor titans should be scaled properly to each other.
Taking the height of the warhound as about 10", or about 140 pixels, heights for the other two could be determined. Heights for the others were taken from the Forge World website.


This is, of course, only a rough guide, but I hope it might prove useful, or at least interesting.

For titans compared to real-life buildings, see this post.
For a comparison with Metal Gear, see this post.
