Hey Y'all I was just wondering how large a 150 foot by 100 ft ziggurat would be in warhammer 1/32 scale... and also any tips you'd have... I would like to make it necron themed...
Thanks in advance,
Xofox

now, I may be utterly wrong with this, but for 1/32 scale, wouldn't you divide by 32?...if so, you're looking at roughly 4.7'x3.1'...at that point, I'm not sure if it would be better to use thick slabs of blue/pink/XPS foam, or start building MDF boxes or something as a base structure...either way, that sounds like it would be massively impressive, and cool to play on, but oh man, a lot of work! - a bit too ambitious for my liking!

Nominally, Warhammer 40k figures are 28/32mm heroic scale which is around 1/56 scale.

1/32 scale is more like 54mm or 2 inches, which is akin to most commercially available toy soldiers. It is also a popular modelling scale for military subjects; partly due to the size compatibility with toy soldiers.

Warhammer sized figures also work fairly well with 1/46 scale vehicles and buildings.

So in the end you would want to scale in a flexible size between 1/46 to 1/54.

Pretty much you could equate 1-1/8" to 6' for a rough estimate if you average your height of a guardsman to be 6' tall or two yards.

Warhammer isn't 1/32 scale.

32mm isn't the same as 1/32 (or 1:32) to start with.

One is a measuring convention, the other is a scale where one is a proportion of the other.

A decent sized ziggurat would be THE TABLE (or at least a very large chunk of it.). Anything less would be an affront to the gods it was built to serve.
