The measurements are in and the findings are shocking...Part III: A Rant
It has come to my attention that some people seem to think that, just because GW and Forgeworld minis are in 28mm heroic scale (or because of some obscure fluff reference), that Warlord Titan minis should be of on the insane proportions of 5ft tall and that my measurements are utterly inaccurate.
Well listen up, because I am about to take you to school. 28mm, heroic or not, is 28mm, period. Furthermore, heroic only applies to the bulk of the minis muscles. Even GW will tell you that, regardless the scale of the mini, the average height of a Imperial Guardsman (never mind a space marine) is 5'8", or the average height of a modern adult male. Thus, (and I dare you to do this and tell me otherwise) taking a tape measure to measure for your self the height of an Imperial Guardsman mini head to toe, you get exactly 28mm.
Now, do you know how big, in millimeters, a Emperor Titan is given the previous calculations I did. I turns out that the Emperor Titan is roughly 1 meter in height, or roughly 1000mm. Given 28mm = 5'8", than 1 meter would equal 205'4" feet in height. Give that a one story building (based on acreage) is 10 feet in height, this would make for a 20 story Titan, approximately.
Given this, a Warhound Titan, at 250mm, would equal or 20 feet in height. A Reaver Titan stands at 400mm or 40 feet roughly.
