and I bought what I thought was a Velard Angron as well off Ebay - this one:



I plan to use them as counts-as Daemon Princes in my Death Guard and World Eaters armies. The Mortarion is perfectly scaled for 40k - just slightly bigger than a normal marine as one would expect. The Angron is not however, it is massive - more like Inquistor scale; twice the height of a normal size marine so looks completely wrong.

The question is, is this a Velard Angron, if so, why is it completely different in scale to Mortarion and if not, what is the 'actual' Velard Angron model that is the same scale as Mortarion?

I have the FW Angron model which would be perfectly adequate since it is the same height as the Mortarion model but I don't plan on gaming with it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524662/5572816.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524662/5572816.page GMT Velard Primarchs - odd scales?
Always hated the Velard Angron; his head is huge and his face is really awkward.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524662/5573533.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524662/5573533.page GMT Velard Primarchs - odd scales? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524662/5573559.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524662/5573559.page GMT Velard Primarchs - odd scales?

Huh. Really? All the pics I've seen he looked about the right size. I guess compared to the Forge World one, though, yeah he is pretty small.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524662/5573617.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524662/5573617.page GMT Velard Primarchs - odd scales? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524662/5573655.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524662/5573655.page GMT Velard Primarchs - odd scales?

I have the Kabuki Angron myself. I'd say he's just a tiny bit taller than a Marine. He looks a little smaller, but that is because his knees are bent and his armor isn't "Space Marine" armor. It's kind of a form-fitting armor, like a Dark Eldar has.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524662/5574161.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524662/5574161.page GMT Velard Primarchs - odd scales?

We'll have to agree to disagree there. Compared to a Space Marine I think he looks weedy, especially in the arms and legs - the exact opposite that you would expect Angron to look, in fact. Regardless, he isn't the same scale as the Mortarion or FW's version of Angron. I seem to recall that the Kabuki primarchs are 'true' 28mm rather than heroic 28mm that GW stick to?

So is the consensus that the Velard Angron that I posted an image above is the actual Velard model then, despite the scale differences?t]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524662/5574226.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524662/5574226.page GMT Velard Primarchs - odd scales?
I think Mortarion was a little towards the taller end of the specrum, possibly third or fourth largest.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524662/5574325.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524662/5574325.page GMT
