My death korps engineers arrived today and they are alot smaller than my chaos space marines i mean they look real small and my girlfriend just said ' Ha ! they look cute ' . Are death korps smaller than Normal imperial guard (cadian)


Thanks !

Better sculpted may be more the case, and in better proportions than the cadian plastics.

But who knows maybe Kreig's nasty enviroment keeps them small and sickly, makes them meaner that way..after all we can't all be roid freaks like the Catachaners.

Elysians and FW Cadians are smaller than GW Cadians, too.

DKoK are true scale 28mm, rather then the heroic scale 28mm used by most GW models.

FW Cadians being 28mm proper rather than 28mm heroic is actually pretty bad. I’ve got a set of the Shotgun Veterans, and their torsos are smaller than their legs. It looks weird.

Yup, all Forgeworld human models seem to be sculpted at 28mm (which is rather silly as a good few of them are conversion kits for the heroic scale figures). However though they're a little smaller this isn't really obvious whilst playing (and they may actually look like they're the right scale in comparison to your vehicles etc).

I thought it was just because i compared him to a chaos space marine , so they not obviously seen like this ?

Work on your grammar, because you've lost me here. They're smaller models because they have more realistic proportions. That's it.

They're smaller models because they are smaller models. Ignore the fact that they are realistically proportioned etc. he just wanted to know how big they were, not why they were that way.

Jesus , i forgot to put 'there' because I was in a rush you don't have to be harsh about it.

Standard humans aren't going to be the same size as genetically engineered giants.

...except this one guy I know who is the same rough dimensions of a space marine. It's a li'l scary.

You mean "they're"? You don't need to be in a rush, this is a forum, not the war room. I wasn't being harsh about it at all.

When I say 'I was in a rush' I mean out of the house.

I also found the forge world models to be skinnier than the comparitively fatter steel legion models >.< (putting together a mixed "Legion Korps" - steel legion + DKoK)

guess they got alot of spare ork meat on armageddon lol
