for the purposes of dioramas,which better?

the 1:72 miniatures can show the physical difference between regular human and space marines(enhanced giant human figure equips with big guns and power armor), and 1:72 miniatures is very cheap, which can be used to show a larger battlefield and alot alot soldiers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784558/10690834.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784558/10690834.page GMT 1:72 miniatures for the purpose of Diorama? 40k diorama. Their equivalent scale is about 12mm, which is less than half of 40k at 28mm.They would look absurd. You'd need 40k scaled guardsmen or similar. You could use third party models for a more human scale if you wanted]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784558/10690919.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784558/10690919.page GMT 1:72 miniatures for the purpose of Diorama? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784558/10690921.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784558/10690921.page GMT 1:72 miniatures for the purpose of Diorama? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784558/10690925.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784558/10690925.page GMT 1:72 miniatures for the purpose of Diorama?
DKOK, which are more true-scale rather than the chunky heroic Cadian Guardsmen, alongside Primaris Marines is a fine enough distinction.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784558/10691261.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784558/10691261.page GMT 1:72 miniatures for the purpose of Diorama? DKoK (3.3cm),they're too tall for regular human.

regardless of their awkward scale, when they stand next to Primaris marines,the are neither tall nor short, just right of heigh and comparison.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784558/10691375.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784558/10691375.page GMT 1:72 miniatures for the purpose of Diorama?

Your maths is a bit off there, 1/72 scale generally lies between 20 and 25mm scale. Think about it, 6 foot is 72 inches, so a 6 foot person would be 25.4mm tall in 1/72 scale.

Of course 40k models are massive. It's not just the height, 40k models are hugely bulky.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784558/10691389.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784558/10691389.page GMT Re:1:72 miniatures for the purpose of Diorama? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784558/10691459.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784558/10691459.page GMT 1:72 miniatures for the purpose of Diorama? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784558/10691477.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784558/10691477.page GMT 1:72 miniatures for the purpose of Diorama?

Artistic license used to show the presence of the astartes. also, those are skinny emaciated, malnourished monks, not strong, trained soldiers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784558/10691482.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784558/10691482.page GMT
