CommodusXIII Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Warlords should only hit about 2 1/2 to 3 feet tall, with an Emperor pushing 4 feet. They ain't as big as people seem to think. SJ Many Lucius-pattern builds are based on the GW-built model in the old Defense of the Imperial Palace diorama, which depicts them as being a bit bigger. Also, scaling based on the DBTLDs on the old Epic model compared to those on the Warhound. They've since shrunk a bit, but you can only work with what you have at the time.

Kilofix Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Someone estimated its height at around 2 feet. Mine's pushing 3 feet, so it won't be as comparable as I'd hoped. Bigger is better. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers I posted weren't made up. SJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodusXIII Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Yes, yours were the numbers that I took into account. Hence, 30" to 36" for the old Lucius-pattern is a bit bigger than the 21" to 24" that's been estimated for the Mars-pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshall Egregorius Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 I'm liking the design, but I still prefer the lucius pattern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilofix Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 So I was working out my finances to see if I could budget for a Warlord in the future. And I came to the conclusion that the answer is probably (my wife is buying another horse that costs twice as much anyway, lol). But then I realized I could get a Reaver + 2 Warhound Maniple for the same price as one Warlord. So now I'm conflicted as to which would be more 'worth it'. I'd only be buying to build and collect, not necessarily play. That said, I'm thinking still Warlord? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffersonian000 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 From a playing it stand point, 4 Warhounds are better. From an OMG that's awesome stand point, it's the Warlord hands down. SJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the same boat as you... once they go on sale, I need to make a very serious decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
