The indomitus necron warriors the lowliest of the necron armies now stand taller than immortals and lychguard. This is getting ridiculous do we actually need this scale creep that means old models have to be assigned to the dustbin? At what point does it stop. When we are at 100mm scale? When marines are action figure size. Scale creep is only there to obsolete old models this is meant to be a miniatures game GW not action man. Stop inflicting this horrendous scale creep on our armies. It's making units unplayable and making armies peopled by giants ala severina raine the 9 foot commisar.

The weirdest thing and someone already pointed it out was primaris were meant to bigger so great the primaris are bigger that was in scale. Then every release since then every enemy and every ally has been a lot bigger than before meaning the primaris have completely lost their height advantage. I'm just waiting for the new imperial guard box when that come whoo boy we are going to be having same height male and female troops that are eye level with a primaris captain I can just tell its coming. It's getting real old and needs to stop at some point. By the time the new imperial guard is released gsc and sob are going to go back to midget sized. Gurantee.

Why do people always post 20 year old models when using these scale pics? Who are they defending? Last imperial guard human gw released was primaris sized.

Scale creep it's real its squats entire armies and causes old models to become useless if your using old beakies as primaris well whatever good luck in a tournament or playing anyone with two working eyes.

I'm sure there is some slight variation I mean that's hardly a problem when its within individual units. Buts that not the problem the problem is every single new unit with a new sculpt is far larger bulkier and taller with usually a bigger base than whatever came before it. If people truly are using absolutely minuscule 1e minis as primaris i pity them and there opponents. It's an insult to the eyes.
