How tall were/should Inquisitor scale Space Marines be?

[Minigiant]

I am wanting to put together a few models for the old specialist game: Inquisitor and am in need of some help. In comes in a few questions?

Were the Space Marine models in Inquisitor the right scale?

If yes, how tall were Astartes? Deathwatch Brother Artemis for example
- What about Scouts, Terminators, and Primaris?

If no, how tall from head to tow should a Space Marines model have been?
- What about Scouts, Terminators, and Primaris?

Artemis leans quite forward, but you measure along the length of the body he's 60mm. That would put a scout at 53mm, a Terminator at 68mm and a Primaris at 70mm (assuming an upright, straight leg pose).

 

I would say the scaling of Inquisitor was True Scale, in that Space Marines towered over the other models, even Tyrus in power armour.

Grot's on the money (as per). 

 

In the Inquisitor rulebook, you should find an interview with Jes Goodwin, who reveals that when he did the true-scaling (he did a 1:1 scale drawing first) that Artemis came out at 67mm (upright IIRC), whereas most of the other characters hovered around 54mm.

Thank you.

Then I will ask a follow up question

1) How tall should a 54mm scale Dreadnought stand?

Double at minimum,

[Minigiant]

My calculations put the Dreadnought at 114mm tall in 54mm scale; that would certainly be something special to see

I may have one of those somewhere...

Not to be difficult, but where did the maker of this get the sizes from? I was always under the impression that Wraithlords were, like the minis, supposed to tower over Dreadnoughts. Also Ghaz appears shorter than the Warboss, which definitely isn't right.

There's definitely a few hinky things going on in the pic, but the Astartes scaling is correct.
