Now that I'm home I can take some measurements for you.

The base is about 1.75 in x 1 in (4.5 cm x 2.5 cm). The tower itself is about .75 in wide x 1.25 in, counting the length of its weapons, x 2 in tall, counting the height of the bell (1.5 cm x 3 cm x 5 cm).

so the entire demon engine is 5 CM high? how tall is a basic epic scale chaos soace marine?

thanks for answering me also, its really hard to get measurements on this model.

EDIT. ok i have some epic scale chaos terminators, and i measured them in MM. i got this:

Epic Scale Terminator : 14 mm

40K scale Terminator : 56 mm

Epic Scale Plague Tower :

40k Scale Plague Tower (4 x Epic scale tower) :

14mm sounds a little tall to me.

Most Epic infantry are 6 to 8mm tall.


Mind you, 56mm also sounds tall for a 40k miniature. Most Space Marines are about 30mm to the eyes.


Are you including the height of the base?

Yes, 14mm is a bit high ... unless he used a Chaos Terminators, because of the spikes in top ?

yeah, i used the chaos termies for my comparison. i messed up a lil on the measurements. used the wrong side of the tape measure. new measuremnet:

Epic Chaos Termie: 11mm

40K chaos Termie: 44mm

Epic Plague Tower: 50mm (5 cm as stated in response)

40k Plague Tower: 200mm (20cm)

so am i to assume that a 40k scale plague tower measures in at about 8 inches? that seems kind of weak. maybe i did my math wrong, can someone check my work to see if i missed something?

Well you could also simply go by the official scale of the game: 1/300.
5cmx300=1500cm Then divide that back into 40k scale which is supposed to be something like 1/60 IIRC (I could be wrong here). which would put it at about 25 cm.
Personally I think something like 25-30 cm would be a good size in 40k. That would also make the whfb siege tower a good source for bitz.
