Chaos Marines Size/Dimensions Comparison
Following a request from Gafapasta Antisocial the other day, here's a size/dimension comparison shot of one of my Avatars of War Plague Marines alongside a standard chaos marine and one of the Chosen from the DV box.
Awesome! Thank you so much :) By the way, this is the first time I've seen a picture of a regular CSM and a Chosen from DV side by side, I think the first one resemble much better the artwork than the normal ones (you know, taller than guardsmen). Don't you agree, battle brother? Keep up the good work!
Sure. The Chosen have much better proportions when compared to guardsmen, although I'm certain that they're not scaled-up enough to impress true-scale fans. Of course, the other problem is that the new cultists are actually rather large themselves!
Yes! The Dark Gods have listened to my prayers (insert evil laugh). Thanks for the information. I've thought about getting the cultists from em4miniatures, as they are way more proportioned, to avoid that problem, as I concur with you thought. Maybe you would like to take a glimpse at them. They're 1 pound each, which is not that bad. Or you could try the Anvil Industry's ones... Anyways, I'm planning on sculpting my own Blood Pact miniatures and cast them, so if I get to do that, I'll send you some so you cand expand your army ;) And true-scale (smallish), of course
I'll take a look at those as options, although to be honest I don't really mind the proportions of the GW cultists. Do show me some pictures of your own experiments though - have you got a blog? I can't find a link to it...
In that case I think the GW cultists give you a little more detail. I'm sorry, I haven't got one. I'm hectic right now but I plan on getting my hands down on the project during Christmas. By the way, I've just seen your entry about Dystopian Legions' tanks, I think the one that is oppen-topped would be a pretty good candidate for a pre-heresy Rhino if you put a Rhino door on the back, don't you agree? I would love to put some Death Guard in there!
Not too shabby...
ReplyDeleteI guess the Avatars of War figures are very similar in proportion to the Citadel "heroic" scale...
That opens up a ton of conversion possibilities.
It certainly does, I just hope they get them all back in stock on their website sometime soon.

ReplyDeleteSorry, I meant the second one (the Chosen)
