Rhino Chassis Size Vs Primaris

[Grim Dog Studios]

Hi All,

 

I've tried scouring the web for a picture but I'm not having great results in finding anything. Does anyone have a clear picture of the size comparison between a Primaris marine and a rhino chassis tank, e.g Rhino, Predator, Whirlwind etc?

I'm using Primaris as True Scale Firstborn marines and I'm interested in possibly using some Predators in my list, but I don't want them to look ridiculously small next to the marines, so would just love to see how they compare before buying them!

 

Many thanks

James

Rhinos are already on a different scale to marines, so they will naturally look even smaller next to primaris. Dont forget that marines have bases also. One fast remedy is to put the rhino on a base.

I forgot to add an old-school marine as a comparison, but I hope these help!

(keep in mind that the current rhino doesn't have tracks on, and the marine isn't based)

To build on Xenith's excellent suggestion, here's a Rhino on a base alongside a Primaris-based figure.

 

In terms of using them alongside Primaris, I think Rhino-chassis vehicles work nicely. There's no denying they look too small to comfortably fit ten Primaris, but then that's nothing new – they look too small to carry Astartes of any size – and there's a balance to be struck between suspension of disbelief and in-game practicality. 

 

As tanks, I happily use Predators alongside my (Terminator-based) 'truescale' Space Marines, and think they look fine without any conversion:

 

 

You can see one on a base here, too (right of picture above). It helps give the tank some more presence without impacting the game too much.

Fantastic, thank you all! That is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for!

I think I can definitely get away with using some Predators it seems, would love to use Rhinos but I’m using Intercessor rules for my fake tacticals to avoid confusion so I can’t use them as Transports unfortunately!
