He’s HUGE! The new 40k Gazghkull Thraka model size may be a lot bigger than we had thought. Take a look at just how big he is compared to other new models.
GW just previewed Ragnar and Gazghkull with their new sculpts. But there are a few clues here that may be able to tell us just how big he is!
Ragnar & Gazghkull’s New Models Previewed
These two dudes are getting new models and they’re releasing together around Saga of the Beast. Funny enough, they actually “killed’ each other at the same time and were recovered and refitted for war.
Yeah, Gazghkull had his head chopped off and Ragnar was turned into Swiss cheese. But at some point, before the lights went out for good, they were saved. GW may be pushing the limits on their plot armor here, but we still love it…
Ghazghkull Thraka Model Size Bigger Than We Thought!
So just how big is the new model? Well, let’s take a look at the previews again:
Going off of what we can see, there are three Nobz on 32mm bases in the foreground. One seems to be slightly overlapping the other two, making their combined base width less than 96mm (32×3) but bigger than the 64mm the two bases would make alone.
Our guess is he’s somewhere between 80mm and 90mm in size.
Here’s a better look at scales photoshop image of Ghaz next to some newer character models that are on 60mm and 50mm bases respectfully. This seems to also support a base size of at least 80mm in diameter.
Some notable models on 80mm bases are the Forge World Dreadnought variants, and large beasts like the Mangler Squig for Age of Sigmar:
He could of course also be on a 90mm round similar to the Redemptor and Invictor Dreadnoughts.
However, Gazghkull being on a 100mm base like Mortarion and some of the Greater Daemon models seems a little unlikely given the preview images thus far. Either way, he’s big, he’s mean, and if the lore is to be believed, he’s nigh unkillable!
With all of this covered, do you think there will be a Box Set revealed for Ghaz and Ragnar soon? Could there be new units lying in wait, or do you think there might not be any Box Set at all?
