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).

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.
