Does anyone know where to find a picture that shows the relative sizing of the various flavors of ork infantry models (warboss, nob, boy, gretchin)?

You know I'd enjoy making you one but every ork I own is at least 10 years old! Not sure how relevant it'd be to your plans.

I'm sure someone with an up to date ork force will oblige.

Warboss = Terminator and bigger so 2.5 +inches
Nob = between Terminator and Marine just slightly bigger than 2 inch
Boy = Marine = about 1.5 inch
Grot = Wait height of a marine = so about an inch

Thats going off my head. I think a normal Boy is smaller than a Marine (but all orks are hunched over)

Warlord smaller that warboss? Seems suspicious.

What's "Warlord" supposed to be anyway? That's clearly the Ghazghkull outline on that pic. And Ghazzy seems to be a bit bigger than the biggest commonly available Warboss model:

A Warlord is the biggest of the orks, I think they scaled the picture to have the Boss Pole be the max height to avoid confusion.

There have been a couple warlords like Nazdreg for bad moon, and Ghaz for Goffs. There are more but these are the only ones that have been around the most. It is the size of their warband that makes them a Warlord.

Model wise Orks have been beaten down over the years compared to other models like Marines which have been roughly the same size throughout 40ks existence. Ghaz's 2nd ED mini was only 2in tall and had a flag standard grot.

I recently discovered the existence of that grot and had to obtain one for my grot squad!

Also check out snotlings, they were around in 2nd ed and they are half the size of Grots. They where the orderlies and ammo runts not Grots. Pretty cool looking minis too! Some squigs are from 2nd as well. The past has some pretty cool stuff

Well, since you insist...



Apologies for the crummy phone pics.

Yeah, no idea where this is from but it’s pretty much entirely nonsense. Ignore it.
