Editing Scale Inconsistency (section)

===Space Marines===
How big Space Marines are is mostly consistent in "larger than the average Imperial citizen" and "bigger than an Imperial Guard grunt". For instance, [[Deathwatch (RPG)]]'s 1st edition claims they're about 2.1 meters tall, while the ''Eisenhorn'' series puts them at "well over two meters" for a Firstborn Marine and a few Horus Heresy novels (''Horus Rising'', ''First Heretic'', ''Pharos'', etc.) paint them as being around seven feet tall, albeit with exceptions. Similarly, Primaris per [[Wrath and Glory]] are "at least" 8 foot tall - the specific stats being 7 feet + 1d6 inches for a Firstborn, 8 feet + 1d6 inches for a Primaris compared to about 4 feet + 6d6 inches for a human.

However, some artwork and the miniatures (especially older stuff) can show the two about the same size. This is particularly notable when comparing a Primaris mini to a 'regular' Marine, as despite their supposed extra foot or so in height and stronger build, the Primaris has barely a head or so's advantage over the Firstborn and is about the same broadness. This can be excused by limitations of model making of being a balance between trying to be in-scale and having details to make a mini stand out.
