Pose looks fine to me.

There's an old Dathwatch Blsvk Library story where a kill team goes into an Ork vessel to retrieve the head of a super intelligent Ork for an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor. At the end you find it's still alive even detached.

The recent Farsight book also has an Ork head in a jar that is still alive. Though the Ork in question is totally insane, but that's I think because of the isolation the Ork head experienced before being in a jar than because it has been stored in jar.

Of course the new Ghaz' model is actually bigger than the old battlewagon it seems.

Ghaz looks incredible. Great sense of scale. Intimidating. Huge. Over the top. All classic Ork traits. Love the base even. Everything about him looks mean and deadly. Even his clawed feet. Gork's klaw is as big as Ragnar. Damn.

Ragnar looks good for a marine, dynamic and probably the best marine face I've seen for a long time.

I still have the ABR Orks. may be time to start that Ork army I've occasionally pondered

Ghaz is... overdone. All of his things are comically oversized, but each one individually, not all together, if that makes sense, so that all sense of scale and proportion is lost. He's not a BIG model - he's a model with a BIG left arm and a BIG right arm and BIG feet and a BIG back.

And he seems to be pretty short. I'm really disappointed.

And ghaz is only a tiny bit taller than ragnar it seems..

Wow, the memories!

And look at the size of those 2000 point armies!

Will it be your first xenos army? Do it.

Eh? What Ghazzy you looking at? This chonky boi looks huge to me. A few heads taller than Ragnar without his armour. Without Ragnar's leg up rubble the difference would be comedic.

Time for a conversion with new Ghaz, wearing a pair of old battle wagons as roller skates!

He's, like, twice as tall at least...

Rangar – “Hmm, how can I make sure people know I’m a Space Wolf? Well, I’ve got the logo on each of my stupidly-oversized pauldrons, but what if people somehow don’t see it? I know, I’ll put two golden wolf-heads on my backpack. But what is people still don’t get it? Ah, I know. I’ll wear an entire wolf on my shoulder! Perfect!”

A few heads taller than ragnar puts him at around 3,1-3,2m tall. That is only a tiny bit larger than your average warboss.

Hes already 1.5 the height of Ragnar in that photo....and hes bending over

Arguing that Ghaz isn’t significantly bigger than Ragnar seems... fairly futile?

Both cracking miniatures, btw.

in fairness all elements of his original design. this is a fairly faithful conversion that way

1,25 if you are generous.

That puts ghaz at 3,125m (if ragnar is 2,5m)

Its baby Ghaz!

Ghaz himself doesn't look really big. His armor is big.

I have to say that Ragnar remake is the first primaris Marine redo that I have liked. He looks like one of the traditional sculpts redone and updated like he should without being crazy over the top. As other have said, I would have preferred it without the scenery underneath, but I think cutting it off and redoing it with some wreckage instead like a wing off a storm wolf or something similar like he is vaulting through a vehicle wreck would be much better pose.

Has there been any word on Kustom jobs, Klan psychic powers or Freebootas?

Rules previews come in the week leading up to the preorder day.

Rules previews do, but what rules are being previewed seem to have leaked a lot earlier than that usually.
That we know so little about the book out in two weeks, and don't even know the titles for all of the next three seems new.

Omnissiah knows what to make of that last story.

Sorry can't say that with a straight face .

Where are people seeing the size being remotely similar ….

If it wasn't for Ragnars nonchalantly ballerina like skippity skop offa the terrain junk he'd look TINY compared to Ghaz. Ghaz is a thick boi though... He's also tilted down..

I think the pose and sculpt was made to squeeze out as much height as they could just to make him not look comedic next to ghaz which is a real shame because it feels to me to be forced as feth. The more I look at Ragnar the more im disliking the model pose. If I was buying him id convert him off that stupid rubble junk. Its a shame and I feel bad for the designers because I would bet my left testicle that decion was forced on them top down which is a real shame.

Ghaz just looks mint as hell. 10/10 for me.

Can we measure everything in 'Ragnars' from now on?
Pleeeeeeaaassseeee.
I love this pic. Do a Grot next. Then Makari.

So an Imprial knight is 2.5 Ragnars tall ?
The 41st millennium has delivered an infallible unit of measurement... Physics will never be the same.

Knights are 9m+ tall, so that would be 3,6 in ragnites.
