I play legion as many probably know by now and just started and have yet to get my hands on a Horus model. So I sculpted my own. Mine has a hive tyrant body as a skeleton and is over 4 inches tall! I know Horus was big but would you guys let someone play with that, I mean it looks decent.

post a picture

^ aye, need a pic

Pic please.

I've honestly never uploaded a picture to the internet in my life. Just tell me that if it looked decent, would you accept a game against a horus miniature that's 4.3 inches tall.

Word to the wise, your not going to get far with questions on this forum with an attitude like that, trust me

That being said, 4.3 inch Horus? Again that's hard to say generally you look for "rule of cool" since we can't see your model it's hard to tell.

4.3 inches of Emp crushing awesomeness, yeah I would play happily

4.3 inches of green stuff abortions, sculpted over a Hive Tyrant, I'd say no

So like everyone said, we need pics it's subjective really

(If you have a smart phone snap a quick photo and just attach it to a thread post, I do that for this forum when I want to show my count as models, in fact I've recently done my Huron and Abaddon count as like that)

I'll take the advice and post pictures in the mid afternoon when I'm awake from my sleeping medicine and Dr Pepper induced stupor.

Far too big.
The FW Primarchs are not much bigger than a standard marine,
Max height should be around 2.5" at most,
Standard marines are under 2"

Unless this thing is so awesome it'll end up in WD some day... no way. Especially with a Hive Tyrant body and being that tall. Horus looking down at a Dreadnought or Avatar is just too much.

Sure. I think being huge is more of a disadvantage to you than it is an advantage anyway. And if you put some effort into making a cool mini, it'd be mean not to let you use it. That said, >4 inches does sound too big for a primarch.

Unless that Primarch is Mangus!

The primarchs are about 1.5-2 times largers than a standard marine. So really no more than 2.5 inches at max.

I'd like you use it if it looked good, but it would look rather out of place.
