The measurements are in and the findings are shocking...

Given the size comparison in the 40k Apocalypse book of the Warlord titan, I was able to find the exact size to scale size of not only the Warlord titan, but also the exact height of the Emperor Battle titan as well.

You see, I first made measurements of the side by side comparison of a printed copy of the Emperor Battle titan. It so happened that my printer, by some weird quirk, did not print the datasheet as a full page print. As it were, the Warhound titan used as a size comparison example was exactly, for bottom of foot to the very top of the carapace, 1 inch in height. Now the Forgeworld website listed the miniature at being 10.5 inches in height. Using a simple ratio of 10.5:1, I then measured out the height, in inches, again from bottom of the Emperor titan's foot to the height of the vengeance cannon, to be 3 and 3/4 inches in height, or roughly 39.375 inches (just over of 3 feet, 3 inches) in real life.

Now for the really "hard" math. The picture of the Warlord titan and the Warhound used as a size comparison was, from bottom of foot to top of carapace, was 1.5 inches in height and that the Warlord titan was 3.6 inches. No big deal, as I had already calculated the 10.5:1 scale, so who cares about the .5 inches. Given the already established 10.5:1 ratio, the Warlord would measure 2.6 if put side by side on the Emperor Battle Titan datasheet, or 26.5 inches (2'2 1/2")in real life.

And on that bombshell, I bid you all ado.
