Hey, that rhymes! Anyway, can someone give me an exact figure on the height of a knight? The GW site said 8" then 6" and now 8" again with the site update, and multiple size comparison pics have led me to multiple figures, again from 6-8". Can anyone give me a number? A picture with a tape measure next to the knight would be great too if possible.

The IoM pretty much survives on human life, on the whole, being totally expendable. Which is ironic, seeing as it is to save humanity.

it's definitely above 6 inches, id say around 7 maybe leaning to 8. Unfortunately mines in the painting process in pieces, if this is around when i complete him I'll be sure to give you an exact measurement!

A bit over 6". No where near 8".

Thanks so much!!! I'm glad to hear it, I'm halfway through a scratchbuild and was a bit annoyed to hear the 6" figure after all the time I put into making templates... Honestly it'd only be 1-2 inches bigger but I was shooting for maximum authenticity.

Bump, sorry, but I'd really like to know.

I edited this a while back to include the Knight -



I'm fairly confident it's accurate - if I go by my Wraithknight which is in a similar pose, his shoulder plate (where the knight comes up to) is 175mm, so ~6.9"

So let's say 7.

I like this picture, because it has images of real titans, and then regular units, and then somehow another tiny little thing that they call a titan. Thanks, GW. Way to be consistent.

You'll notice that none of the GW promo pics for the Knight have it up against a Wraithknight. That would just be silly. Easier to pretend they don't exist, and then they can call their little toy a Titan

Edited for stupid spelling. Twice.
