Space Marines average out at seven feet tall and about seven hundred pounds. Custodians are only slightly bigger, if at all. The only listed height for a Primarch is three meters, aka seven feet. The Primarch in question being the Lion
Liam Brown
>three meters, aka seven feet
That's not even close to right. Two meters is six and a half feet, three meters is closer to ten feet.
Daniel Parker
>three meters, aka seven feet
>3 meters
>= 7 feet
Joshua Brown
Depends on who's writing.
Same goes for bolter shells/rounds. Sometimes they are supposed to be the size of human fists while othertimes they're just .75 cal rounds.
Landon Howard
And here we go again. I'm pretty sure it's gonna go all nice and smooth, right?
It really varies, depending on who is describing them. Official should be around 7' I believe, with a few notable exceptions up to 8' as that one guy from Ultramarines novels.
Justin Walker
Tall enough to cast their gaze across the entire width and breadth of his imperium.
Strong enough to bear the weight of humanity's future upon their shoulders
Wise enough to lead our great race into a new age of enlightenment

>Wise enough to lead our great race into a new age of enlightenment
the space marines were never intended for that at all though, they were weapons, and nothing more than weapons
Cameron Barnes
I do not normally engage faithless heretics in debate but in this one occasion I will make am exception. Astartes carry the blood of the primarchs and by extension the blood if the holy emperor himself. They carry the torch if the future, and are wise enough to know that in order to keep our future bright, that they must turn their minds to war. Your pathetic, heretical attempts to get us to lower our guard are laughable at best. The road to our enlightenment as a species is paved with the blood and bones of defeated heretics like you.
Ethan Foster
Most Space Marines also don't believe in the Imperial Cult
Caleb Ross
4ft 2 inches
they are manlets outside of the armor
Aiden Mitchell
Charles Cooper
They should be 8 feet average
Nicholas Bennett
Shut up, Macha.
Grayson Bell
finally, the age old question is settled: Space Marines confirmed for no dong
Jack Morris
8 feet is a figure for nerdlets who don't get out enough and have no grasp of real world scale.
Yes, a monster smaller than a T-Rex isn't going to look intimidatingly huge on a screen, but in real life an inhumanly broad shouldered 7 foot guy is crazy huge for a human.
Adam Bailey
Ok, so if taking steroids shrinks your dick, how big our space marines if they're on super steroids?
Dylan Perez
83 feet to the haunches.
Ethan Allen
2.1 meters
Samuel Perez
Justin King
the thing is that space marines also crank up testosterone, and a black library novel mentioned one having a big dong.
Wether you consider black library as canon or glorified fanfiction is another debate
Thomas Lopez
Why do they wear pants if they're dickless?
William Carter
8 feet - Space Marines.
9 feet - Custodes.
10 feet - Primarchs.
12 feet - Emprah.
Xavier Murphy
Jesus Goodwin even made this picture to poke fun at people who keep pushing for bigger and bigger marines. They're around 7' tall according to GW.
Evan Bell
This is what happens to people who make friends with Google.
Elijah Adams
Steroids do that because your body reacts to elevated testosterone by producing more estrogen to balance it out. Whereas the space marine glands change the body's preferred balance altogether.
Asher Martinez
Ogryns are 2.5-3 meters tall, and proportionally twice as wide and thick as they should be for their height,
Space marines are by all accounts shorter and less massive then ogryns
Bentley Davis
7 or 8 feet take your pick.
Brody Murphy
Google knows what a meter is though.
Josiah Phillips
>Space Marines average out at seven feet tall and about seven hundred pounds. Custodians are only slightly bigger, if at all.
You're joking, right?
>The only listed height for a Primarch is three meters, aka seven feet.
Oh. Never mind, you're just retarded.
Isaac Lee
Why is his head so deformed? A Space Marine's head is about the same size as a normal humans, so he should have a disproportionately smaller head.
Dylan Martin
>Why is his head so deformed?
The artist prioritized aesthetics. Everyone wants their post-humans to look sexy.
Camden Long
7-8 feet, usually. There are a few notable exceptions.
Custodes are notably larger, with at least a few reaching smaller Primarch sizes.
Primarchs are 10 feet +, with some (A&O) being shorter and others (Magnus and Vulkan) being much bigger.
Isn't there that one marine who's the size of a Ogryn?
I'd assume people who had the genetic predisposition to be tall as fuck before augmentation probably end up as fuckhuge Astartes.
Daniel Perry
Why does his arms get shorter in armor? He gets taller, but his arms are somehow even shorter despite the extra layers.
Landon Carter
shit artist
Luis Rodriguez
but how tall are Primaris marines?
Christopher Cruz
Between normal Astartes and Custodes on average
Kayden Fisher
There's also the Black Dragon Dragon Claws that are 9-10 ft. But they're cursed founding freakish mutants.
Tyler Williams
space marines aren't on steroids. They're modified so their own body produces more growth hormones.
Nolan Morris
Most Astartes are going to be around 7-8 feet tall with some genetic deviance leading to shorter and taller Astartes. We've seen several Astartes outside of the 21st founding around 3m tall.
However, genetic lines do matter. Sons of Anteus are stated to be larger than the tallest of the Dragon Claws, which means larger than 3m, and the Alpha Legion were noted for having particularly tall Marines while their Primarchs were some of the shortest, with only Angron being smaller.
So, baseline is 7-8 feet with a genetic anomaly reaching ~3m.
Cameron Lee
That's stupid.
Luis Nelson
Then you have something in common with space marine heads.
Owen Sullivan
>chart starts at 2 feet
so they are 7 feet tall after all
Asher Diaz
I think that was the point. They are officially 7' but some players pushed for taller.
Jose Barnes
>I'd assume people who had the genetic predisposition to be tall as fuck before augmentation probably end up as fuckhuge Astartes.
The people in charge of the gene treatment would have to monitor and control size so they could fit into armour, especially termie armour since that's so hard to come by.
Jaxson Johnson
Around Shaq's height.
Nicholas Garcia
GREETINGS BATTLE BROTHERS I AM NEW. *HOLDS UP BOLTER* MY NAME IS SERGEANT ARGUS BUT YOU CAN CALL ME BATTLE BROTHER. AS YOU CAN SEE I AM VERY LOYAL TO THE EMPEROR.

I get it.

No it isn't.
>le tiny head marine
Is bullshit spawned from people who think that space marines are 8 feet tall.
Dylan Scott
It starts at zero, look where the feet start you blind twat

It starts at one, user who cannot do simple maths.
Adrian Morris
28 inches tall
everyone in the 40k universe is minuscule
Chase Bailey
Trips of truth.
Marines are over 2.10 meters/7 feet on average with some exceptions (singular marines or even entire chapters) being much higher.
Primaris Marines and Custodes should be about 2.5 meters/8' 2'', a head or two higher than regular marines.
Primarchs and Emprah should be over 3 meters/10 feet, with size varying from a Custodian (Alpharius) to Magnus being taller than everyone, including the Emperor himslef, at almost 12 feet.

Brody Brown
Embarassing post. I would delete it if I where you
Ryder Thompson
And yet there are still some excessively fuckhuge astartes.
Nathaniel Young
Depends.
Word Bearers were so short some of them were about as tall as a regular non-enhanced tall human, while alpha legion astartes were so tall that their primarch could pass as one of them
Isaac Wright
Alpharius were both primarchlets though.
Tyler Jackson

>when he dies, his conscience will be put inside a fucking ballistic missile
man being a chapter serf must suck ass

Justin Lopez
Still, I'm almost sure alpha legion had the tallest marines so that the biggest marines could pass as a primarchlet and distract retards so that the actual primarch can escape.
Then they further confuse the retards by claiming they're the primarch, instead of the guy that just got fucking murdered by the retards.
There's a reason they're the ALPHA legion instead of being named after some gay ass animal, a fucking color or some quasi-fantastical/ fantastical phenomena
Jack Edwards
Too tall for doorways.
Parker Turner
Only because the fluff about Alpharius running around disguised as a regular marine predates the fluff about Primarchs being freakish giants.
It used to be that Magnus was the only unnaturally large Primarch.
Levi Sullivan
His head is too big.
Oliver Bennett
Because they aren't. They have no sex drive.
Jaxson Reyes
Measuring the Emperor is a futile exercise. Nigga knows biomancy, thus can change his body at will.
Nathan Howard
That is biology, look at people with growth disorders. They have a seemingly fuckhuge head.
Or look at babies. The head seems huge compared to the body, as they grow it evens out more and more.
David Carter
7'.
James Morris
7 feet tall (in and out of PA). 8 feet in Termie Armor.
And those are the average marines. Some can get even bigger, but it's due to the implants causing this. Sometimes a mutation in their organs can make them grow really big. The Black Dragons have this as a result of a mutation in their osmodulla. Some of the marines grow so large their armors need to be modified to fit in.
Primaris are probably somewhere between 8 and 9 feet. Dunno.
Thomas King
You know I rather like the idea that the primarchs were statistically the same size as astartes, just better. Large and in charge is a stupid concept for anyone but orks.
Mason Torres
Its a well known fact that Alpharius and Omegon are Primarchlets, that or the Alpha legion are tall.
Brody Roberts
It's also a well known fact Custodes are notably larger than Astartes nowadays. And that 3m isn't 7ft.
Josiah Wright
Looking at some athletic and tall people actually starts to make some of those number sound alright.
Here is Yao Ming, 2.29m for 141kg (7'4, 311lb, for hereteks) standing next to a lowly human attendant.
Joseph Green
And here we have Sun Ming Ming at 2.36m (7'9) next to a valiant Catachan warrior...
Hunter Foster
Oh, and here is another one of brother Sun, getting assaulted by... I expect that's a Tau?
Justin Flores
Both are Tau, user. One just being abnormally tall that's all.

Don't you know? White Scares are actually bigger than mountains.
Chase Fisher
7-8 feet for chapters with regular gene seed.
Daniel Foster
>Mongolian Throat Singing
I unironically love this shit.
Hunter Edwards
they are big guys
Jaxson Garcia
A lot of Mongolians are also breaking into Opera since the skills they pick up from throat singing make them fantastic at it.
