Imperium Guard largest model ever?

[kabaakaba]

What the LARGEST model guards have over the time? asides from baneblade family? 

[sairence]

The Marauder Bomber/Destroyer model is a monster. The wing span make it as wide as it is long.

You can compare yourself here. +1 for the Marauder

so no larger model... but isn't marauder a bit bigger then valkyrie?

[sairence]

It is significantly larger. Can measure the beauty at a later point if you like.

 

If there's anything larger than it, it would be another FW superheavy. But I honestly doubt it.

[SteveAntilles]

Marauder is quite a bit larger than a Valk

The Praetor armoured assault launcher and the Gorgon Assault transport both looked pretty big to me?

Back in the day, didn't White Dwarf have rules for a Leviathan? I accept that the model would have to be scratch-built but there are Leviathans out there... and they are BIG...

 

Here's one I found on the WWW (it includes the rules):

Thanks Inso, I thought about leviathan and we even have a guy here on B&C who printed it and it's same as on the picture. But that model hardly resemble leviathan from books as from HH and Gaunt series. I wanna build something big even if its a scratch build. and now loocking and analyzing what IG have.  Now I intently looking on IG dropships from novels. There is a variety of it's variants from relatively small like holding few tens of guardsmen to holding tank/supper heavy company. There is also monstrouse things like devourer but if I calculate "miniature" size correctly in 40k scale mu house can fit into it's belly.

The Crassus is Macharius sized, smaller than a Baneblade. The Leviathan, while cool, isn't an official model either. If we're going by old epic stuff though, the Capital Imperialis is the biggest.

[kabaakaba]

So our of official models marauder and baneblade variants is a biggest IG models in 40k/heresy

But that Leviathan model seems related to the old Epic Capitol Imperialis? And maybe that’s what’s being described in the Gaunt novel? http://www.solegends.com/citcat1991a/cat1991ap125epiccapitalimp-02.htm

[kabaakaba]

the HH about pure comander who was with raven guard (forgot name again) in betta harmon i think and Gaunts book Armour of Contempt describe same machine it's capitol imperialis and leviathan is just a pattern of it. in books it's described a way bigger compare to how it looks as model. well, or it's my imagination make it bigger. but im absolutely sure there is at least 3 valkyrie can land on it simulteneous. gonna recheck it.

added:
i'm become lazy and ask AI so its say (values is averaged cause its give a large swing like length 500-1500 meters)
Height 100-150 m
width  around 500 m 
length around 1000m

Wow - it’s not even close! Leviathan could go inside the big brother. Not sure what that would be like in 28mm scale. You could have a decent game of 40k set inside one I suspect. 

[SteveAntilles]

Oh yeah, it's a monster

Really where this Pict from? I want a blueprint for scratch build now.
