Hey mates. Looking to get a Steel Legion Army and while I have some Steel Legion models incoming, just have a few questions about the Death Korps of Krieg models. While I know the DKOK models are thinner compared to the Cadian Shock Troops, what is there model size comparison between them and the Armageddon Steel Legion? Reason I ask is because I am aware the Steel Legion models are a bit smaller then the Cadians and I am looking at getting some DKOK Grenadiers to field as my Steel Legion Storm Troopers. 

If anyone has any pictures to show the difference I would appreciate it and thanks again.

Hey there Ironwolf,

Glad to see you decided to go with the Steel Legion. Not many of us out there. While I do not have any pictures to give you a size comparison I can share my experience.

Years ago I had actually purchased some DKoK grenadiers to field in my Steel Legion army as well. I had similar concerns about whether they would be the same height/fit with the army etc.

I can assure you the differences are quite minor. While I did ultimately end up gifting my DKoK models to a friend who now plays them, it was not because of aesthetic reasons. If I recall correctly, DKoK models stand slightly taller than Steel Legion & as you mentioned their extremities are somewhat thinner.

TLDR Version: The differences are minor, I think you will be fine. I think they will work great as Stormtroopers.

Appreciate it mate. I knew that the Cadian models where bigger and thicker then the Steel Legion and the DKOK, but I wasn't sure how the DKOK compared to the Steel Legion themselves. Glad to hear it is only a minor difference.
