link Xin Edit,
If you can't see it. The top of a plastic Cadian comes to the shoulder of one of the Sigmarites. Holy Cow. |

Well, these are not exactly "normal" humans either. We'll see how future releases are going to stack up. I hear there are some elfs in the works…err…Aelfs… :) Damon. |

This is basically a WHF space marine. Fanboys have long complained that space marine miniatures have never been the properly scaled to begin with- they are supposed to be HUGE, not just a bit taller than normal, with most of their bulk really made up by armor. As an aside, I wonder how many of them know space Marines started out as Toughness 3?  |

Done on purpose by GW. So that you can't not use any of your old miniatures for their new Age of Sigmar. This is how GW operates. |

The base looks a good 2-3mm taller than older style figure, too. Another way to control future compatibility? |

Yeah, those T3, 4+ save Space Marines didn't inspire fear, especially when shuriken catapults had a -2 save modifier. Zipzipzip! |

Yup, my Guardians Slaughtered many of Marines back in the day. Then GW nerf'd the living hell out of them. |

Wouldn't a more relevant comparison involve the new chaos marauders/warriors versus their existing equivalents? |

removes minor (but annoying) flaws from dungeon tiles.
