No I dont mean sit as in sit down, i mean more how does one wear terminator armour? Looking at the model, it looks a bit hunched over, like an ork. The arms are at the head level. How does it look on the inside for somone to wear it?

In the 41st millennium your spine is irrelevant to the Emperor!

Yeah its cause they are old 2nd ed models, which have been updated.

Space Marines don't give a feth about their spines. They won't get damaged anyway.

Hmm, even the "new" ones seem a bit hunchbacked...

The SM books nowadays have a front view comparison of the different armor types. The heads are on the same level, terminators just have large areas of armor above head level.

the hunch is the engine or power pack which, obviously powers the suit

the only problem I see with the layout of TDA is the legs, there is a massive crotch-gap, like they are riding a horse.

the arms sit on the inside-front section of the armor, with a shallow chestpiece (think power armor) the entire rear section is much larger, and like Talorton mentioned, its the powerpack.

If they ever have to sit down I don't think there's any "normal" chair that can support them...

NOOOOOOO....Alexwars1......for the love of god, don't even start to walk this path, trust me, if you do, you will never, ever look at your beloved Marines in the same way again.

Ok, Space Marines, and in fact most GW miniatures are NOT anatomically (spelling?) correct. period. GW has redesigned man in the image of a...well....I don't know what.

The crotch gap, the size of the legs and arms compared to the torso, the hands.....dude, its all made up, and if you actually tried to build armour matching their specs, you would have a seriosuly bad hair day!

Hope this helps.

Grey Knights just look better and better the more you look at normal Terminators. It's a beautiful thing, really.

They don't sit they stand,the armor makes them look hunched and also look at this http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?catId=&categoryId=§ion=&pIndex=1&aId=400013a&start=2

So true, I walked that path already (Catachan gorila arms anyone). Never look at
another model the same way again.
