Space Marine Height And Weight - FFG Forum Archive

Even before I told any of my players, here it is !

1. According to the rulebook, page 28 : a Space Marine wearing his armour only (no other gear) is a bit more than 2,10 m (7 feet) high and weights between 500 and 1000 kg.

2. Space Marines are commonly seen 7 feet high and Terminators, 8 feet high.

3. According to the rulebook, page 271 : to have access to a Terminator armour, you must have at least 60 points of Renown.

So for me, the height and weight of a Space Marine is determined by the number of Renown points he has. Wich can make sense if you consider heroes to be greater (taller) than others. So here is my chart folowing this idea (wich perfectly matches the rules !)

Renown (+3 points each line) Height (+1 cm each line) Weight (+14 kg each line) ------------ 0, 1, 2 ----------------------------------- 2, 01 meters -------------------------- 320 kg ----------- ------------ 3, 4, 5 ----------------------------------- 2, 02 meters -------------------------- 334 kg ----------- ------------ 6, 7, 8 ----------------------------------- 2, 03 meters -------------------------- 348 kg ----------- ---------- 9, 10, 11 --------------------------------- 2, 04 meters -------------------------- 362 kg ----------- --------- 12, 13, 14 --------------------------------- 2, 05 meters -------------------------- 376 kg ----------- --------- 15, 16, 17 --------------------------------- 2, 06 meters -------------------------- 390 kg ----------- --------- 18, 19, 20 --------------------------------- 2, 07 meters -------------------------- 404 kg ----------- --------- 21, 22, 23 --------------------------------- 2, 08 meters -------------------------- 418 kg ----------- --------- 24, 25, 26 --------------------------------- 2, 09 meters -------------------------- 432 kg ----------- --------- 27, 28, 29 --------------------------------- 2, 10 meters -------------------------- 446 kg ----------- --------- 30, 31, 32 --------------------------------- 2, 11 meters -------------------------- 460 kg ----------- --------- 33, 34, 35 --------------------------------- 2, 12 meters -------------------------- 474 kg ----------- --------- 36, 37, 38 --------------------------------- 2, 13 meters -------------------------- 488 kg ----------- --------- 39, 40, 41 --------------------------------- 2, 14 meters -------------------------- 502 kg ----------- --------- 42, 43, 44 --------------------------------- 2, 15 meters -------------------------- 516 kg ----------- --------- 45, 46, 47 --------------------------------- 2, 16 meters -------------------------- 530 kg ----------- --------- 48, 49, 50 --------------------------------- 2, 17 meters -------------------------- 544 kg ----------- --------- 51, 52, 53 --------------------------------- 2, 18 meters -------------------------- 558 kg ----------- --------- 54, 55, 56 --------------------------------- 2, 19 meters -------------------------- 572 kg ----------- --------- 57, 58, 59 --------------------------------- 2, 20 meters -------------------------- 586 kg ----------- -------------- 60+ ------------------------------------ 2, 21 meters -------------------------- 600 kg -----------

1. I figured out that a Mk VII armour adds 10 cm to Height : 5 cm sole + 5 cm helmet up it's crest (1 inch crest + 1 inch helmet thickness)

2. A Mk VII armour adds 180 kg to Weight (from Varthion's Helm : 18 kg helmet + 162 kg for the rest of the armour)

3. I figured out that a Terminator armor adds 20 cm to Height : 10 cm sole + 10 cm helmet

4. A Terminator armour adds 400 kg to Weight (from Apothecary's Helm : 30 kg helmet + 370 kg for the rest of the armour)

*** From that chart you can see that a beginning Space Marine in Mk VII armour is 2,11 meters high (a bit more than 7 feet) and weights 500 kg...

*** Same for a Terminator (60 points of renown) : 2, 41 meters (a bit more than 8 feet) and 1000 kg.

*** And you can see that a naked Terminator is bigger (2, 21 meters for 600 kg) than a beginning Space Marine in Mk VII armour (2, 11 meters for 500 kg).

Enjoy !
