Will Terminator models actually fit inside of a Spartan model?

[Lord Krungharr]

I couldn't find any pictures of this in my searching yet... curious if a unit of 10 Terminators, or even 20 Despoilers, might actually fit inside the Spartan model's inner cavity?  Been wondering if I should be getting a Spartan and thought it could be cool to efficiently transport models and bring them out like that.  But it doesn't look super wide compared to a regular Land Raider, but much longer from what I can tell.

Sadly enough not if you want to keep the models in one piece. There's a decent difference between what fits according to the rules and what actually  in real life fits inside a transport model in the games. That said, I have no issues with that because it keeps the size of vehicles manageable on the battlefield. It does however mean you'll have to imagine the unit fits in instead of actually being able to fit them in.

I don't think 10 of the old marines can fit inside a Rhino, let alone the new ones

Crud.  Seems like a really cool thing would be to have 10 Terminators in a little drawer, and just pull them out of the front assault ramp when ready to rock.  Guess the treads are so thick, it would lead to Mastodon sized Spartans, and microwave sized Mastodons!

I've seen an image of 10 Mk7 marines fitting inside a rhino without their bases, I don't know about other Mks though and I really doubt Mk6 will work.

It is tiny. Like in 'only one model' tiny. There is a door which looks like it leads to the real cavity but behind that is nothing. So no.

If you left the top plate off, and removed the bases, then maybe!

Not even. At least , in the case of cataphractii...and also think in weapons, banners,...

Nah, I don't think so.

I would say that they fit but they end like one of these japanese trains which sre so packed that I am out of breath only by looking at it.

I'm convinced that the side handrails on the original rhino were a big part of how 10 marines fits in a rhino and that feature was just kind of lost on whoever designed the later kits and 3-d printed new ones for the deimos. It goes from hilarious clown car to oh that makes sense now half of them ride on the outside.

If you just fit one up front when the ramp goes down, it imply's the others are right behind him. Thats how I would do it.
