Size comparison between MK III and Plague Marines?

[General Strike]

Does anyone know the size difference between the mk 3 BOP marines and the new plague marines? It seems like a big one since plague marines almost match Rubrics with crests.

[HellHunter]

Not much of a size difference overall. Plague Marines are a little bulked out is all. Hope this helps.

[General Strike]

That helps a lot, I was planning to run some Mk3 as plague marines, but I'm slowly coming around to the actual plague marines. Thank you though!

I've seen some Head swaps done with the Death Guard models and the plastic Mk III helmets and looked at a glance to be 100% compatible. They deliberately designed the Scarab Occult Terminators from the Thousand Sons release to be compatible (at least partially) with the Plastic Tartaros Terminators as well which would suggest to e that they are of a very similar if not identical scale. Hope this helps!

I saw a better comparison recently, posted on another forum by Mad Doc Morris:

Whilst they are close enough to swap some bits between, the new figures are more distinctly "Primaris-sized" than the mk3 models are.

 

With similar colours, some creative modelling, and a bit of basing assistance, I think you could get still get them close enough to disguise the size differences.

I could boost their height with basing and call it good. Thank you, thats a perfect picture.

Are those  plague marines from Dark Imperium or seperate

The one at the front and one to the right are from the 3-man 'easy to build' set.

I think they may be from First Strike, but as I mentioned in my post, they aren't mine.

They are definitely from the 3 man easy to build set. I wonder if they are the wrong size though.. I just got my Dark Brethren box of Plague Marine and I could sear they aren't that much bigger than the MkIII marines. Unfortunately I don't have the access to them to compare.
