ale0x Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Its hard to tell from the pictures posted on Forge World, but I'm trying to get a feel for how big the Mk.II and III armors actually are in comparison to the standard space marine models from GW. Height-wise, it seems like they might be a bit small...anybody have a good comparison picture, or at least some hands-on experience with them that can clear this up? Thanks guys!

Redfinger Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Dont know if this helps, I have a few of the different Mk's in here, the latter stuff has assault legs, all in all they are pretty comparable to your standard Space Marine.

Olgerth Istaarn Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 FW pre-heresy armors are fully compatible with plastic. I had the same doubts when I gave some of my sergeants MKIV legs. MKIV appears a touch slimmer than later models and I was afraid the sarges would look like a cartoon strongman (huge chest and arms and thin legs), but everything came together beautifully.

Your use of the word 'latter' confuses me... As in the "latter" models, or newer model mk's. if you look at the picture, you can several mk's and mixes of mk's. I was saying that on the latter, or newer mk's I used regular assault marine legs. Ashton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironwrought Huw Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I can't help on the MKII front, but I do have MKIII and IV. The MKIII are certainly bulkier than the MKVII These are from my WIP Astral Claws. http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l545/Huberticus66/P1011661.jpg http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l545/Huberticus66/P1011660.jpg Height-wise, comparing the standard 'at ease' pose legs (both GW & FW) they MKIII is only just taller (I'm refering to the helmet, not the backpack). When using the walking/running legs, the MKIII is taller. I can try and get more photos, including a MKIV comparison, or with FW's Armeneus Valthex, who is a MKIII hybrid armour. Hope that was of use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And 'latter' is generally only supposed to be used if you have two items. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Foes Remain Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Here you: One of each mark. http://bitzbox.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/P1010741.jpg http://bitzbox.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/P1010742.jpg In the 41st Millenium, there is only short marines! But seriously, is it me or does the Mk 8 marine look smaller than the rest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ale0x Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 But seriously, is it me or does the Mk 8 marine look smaller than the rest? Wider stance. Anyway thanks everybody for the info, definitely sold me on picking some up just to sprinkle throughout my army for sergeants and veterans etc. Thanks!
