Alright, I have an odd question. I know I threw the space marine up there, but I don't really care about him. That is there just to get attention. My question is more about the Imperial Guard units, though I am curious about all of the other armies as well. And my question is simple; just how big is this stuff? How much does a Leman Russ Battle Tank weigh? What is the wing span of a Valkyrie? What are the dimensions of a Chimera? How long is the gun barrel on a hydra? For that matter, haw long is the standard issued lasgun? Assuming that the typical guards man is 6 foot, is his riffle really almost as long as he is? I know its an odd question, and I am sure that I could find the answer in a book down at Barnes and Nobel, but I get most of my lore from "The Emperor: Text to Speak", and I'd like to keep it that way. So, just a friendly question for all of you folk who nerd the lore more than I do; how big is the stuff?

...Space Marines are 8 foot out and 9 foot when in armour, right?

Imperial Armour has technical specifications for a lot of things.

Most of it's on Lexicanum.

Leman Russ is 60 tons, and 7.08m x 4.86m x 4.42m.

Valkyrie is 13 tonnes empty and has a wing span of 16.9m.
