Smaller, they are smaller "growth inhibiting enzymes" from deliverance lost.

Depends on which story you want to use - the IA article on the Legion states that Alpha Legion marines are all unusually tall, like their Primarch, who is almost as tall as Horus!

I always took it as a balance between the two; that Alpharius was shorter than the average Primarch and the Alpha Legion Astartes were taller than the average Space Marine. So it kind of balances out. Honestly, the scale/size that Autilon Skorr is at would be about how tall I'd want Alpharius to be. Unless the Skorr model is the Alpharius model, and they just decided to release him under a fake name as a covert Primarch release.

My bad, I tried pretty hard to work out what you were talking about but it's confusing in here. To me, I read people talking about "Who's the big guy" - and the only image I've seen in the last few pages was Zardu Layak - followed by "Event exclusive model". Someone else later on mentions Skorr.

There was a photo of Skorr next to a plastic marine on the last page (or a couple back). No worries, I should've quoted the post really but I couldn't be bothered to prune it down to the relevant bit and it was quite big.

Contradictory information regarding the Alpha Legion? Impossible!

...that would be the picture that I thought was of Zardu Layak. Why were people talking about Zardu Layak? It's not him. I need coffee.

Hahaha, because apparently Zardu Layak is bigger too (Skorr sized).

He's one of the current event exclusive models.

That actually gells much better, as the genetic markers were found in the primarch project, so small alpha, big legion.

So, ahh, are we done with the GW rumours? It really seems like we are...make a compelling argument before I head off to the footy tonight or else I'll lock it up and we can start a new thread when more rumours eventually arrive

Close'er down!

Perhaps when she returns, we'll have pictures with full brightness!

This thread is certainly unwieldy and probably needs to be closed. But we will need to start a new one because this is the biggest GW-related rumor going and folks will come to Dakka N&R expecting to read about and discuss this topic.
