The scales in Space Marine run from about 1/250 for vehicles to about 1/350 for Titans giving an average of 1/300, about the same scale as GHQ MicroArmor. How tall would we make it? 10 inches? 15 inches? 20 inches? larger?

Just suppose we wanted to build a Warlord Titan in full 40K scale instead of Epic scale. "SO YOU WANT TO BUILD A TITAN: SCALE IN WARHAMMER 40,000

40K figures combine 1/35th scale heads and 1/48th scale limbs on 1/60th scale (height) bodies using artistic license to exaggerate for effect, giving us the artfully exaggerated figures we all know and love. The exact scale of both WH 40K and Epic scale figures and equipment is somewhat inconsistant. The heights for various Titans may seem small, but once they are painted and placed on the the gaming table, they look pretty big! Here is an article from Inquisitor #2 (September 1991) that shows the basic reasoning Mike and I used to figure out what scale to use for building the resin Titans and has some interesting observations on 40K scale, including vehicles.

Moldmaking and casting also changed mostly due to my 20 years of experience in making custom lost wax cast jewelry (my profession until we started Armorcast in 1995). Many of the models were basically resculpted, although some of the older models really needed to be redone (Eldar Tempest and Knight) but GW not renewing the license put the kibosh on that. Master models were built more of sheet plastic, resin and modeling putty resulting in cleaner models for the newer pieces. Mike was still the sculptor, but he got a lathe and many parts were turned/machined. When Armorcast took over things changed a bit. Again, very traditional sculpting techniques. To make the final molds, mold rubber was painted on the master and then backed with a plaster mold holder.
When Mike Biasi started out (as Mike Biasi Studios) the pieces were sculpted in very traditional sculpting techniques sculpted in clay, then a plaster mold made to cast a resin master that was then cleaned up and final detailed. Out of curiosity, how did they sculpt it? Wood? Clay? Green stuff? That a 22" tall model breaks down easily for transport is also pretty amazing. Awesome Jes Goodwin design, scaled up by Mike without losing any of Jes' style.
