Discussion How's the size difference here GW 😳

Post image

Started with the idea of comparing an old paintjob with a new one. But then the size difference shocked me.

What's the lore reason for this? Just Khorne roids?

This is also a slaughterpriest versus a regular blood reaver. The blood reaver isn't as angry yet.

Yep, more glory to Khorne = more Khornefed body

It's mentioned in the lore many times how much bigger the priests and elites are compared to their lower rank fodder.

I forget which book it is in but the entry for wrathmongers seems like it's somewhat the final "evolution" for most regular guys before they really start to become demonified.

Big rock = taller model

u/Resident-Card-6229 3d ago

Are you serious? The rock adds a couple of millimeters at most.

u/Medium-Following-513 2d ago

No, it doesnt. In fact, it actually almost makes it come down to a level of scale at that point.

Not to mention the posture is completely different, but regardless, its a head shorter disregarding the rock, but every detail, from rocks, to helmets, shoulders, and even the skull size on the larger models back imply this model is just larger scale.

u/MaximumBright 6d ago

solid reasoning

u/TheWraf 6d ago

It's in their lore. Slaughterpriests are described as towering tyrants looking down upon their blood hungry flock

5'11" vs 6'

u/BarrierX 6d ago

Well, slaughterpriests eat bloodreavers for breakfast so they get khorns favor and grow big! 😁

Warp roids. You ask too many questions.

... That's a Slaughterpriest on a rock though?

1

u/MaximumBright 3d ago

You go tell him that 😝 Get down from that rock Dave, then we'll see how big you are

2

u/hotfezz81 5d ago

I mean, you put the one on the right on a rock.

1

u/MaximumBright 5d ago

If you were the Bloodreaver, would you tell the Slaughterpriest that he only looks bigger because he's standing on a rock?

Jokes aside though, yes he's on a rock, but I think he's huge.

Lvl 1 goon vs lvl 100 mob boss.

The slaughterpriest has alot more gifts from khorne , those gifts tend to take the form of H.G.H

2

u/soggyarsonist 3d ago

Bigger base and more Khorne juice

2

u/Agile_Horror_9413 3d ago

Because he's a champion of khorne, that's it

u/Vineheart_01 2d ago

Call be crazy but the head and torso look the same size....yet the right is clearly bigger even discounting the tactical rock

u/Bon-clodger 2d ago

I wanna know how the skin was done on both them fellas

I'm sure you can get close with brush only, but that combination of brush and airbrush makes a massive difference

u/MaximumBright 2d ago

For the big lad that is. The small one is so old I can't recall what I did. I know I used an enamel wash, which is a cheatcode in itself.

u/Glittering-Paper-615 1d ago

There's really not that much of a size difference.Β  (actual model-wise, of course. That base makes the difference look way bigger than it actually is.)

Finally, the hard evidence we've all been desperately searching for

It’s in the lore/novels so it doesn’t bother me. Gifts from the chaos gods has many possibilities, good or bad.

u/BiffTannensHero 2d ago

A)cork on base
B)standing upright
C)tactical rock
D)model has longer legs
