Here is the size and scale of the new Imperial Guard Cadian miniatures compared to the old ones, Space Marines and Sisters of Battle!
With the new Cadia Stands Imperial Gaurd Army box out, people have been sizing these new minis up to the old ones, and side-by-side, they look pretty great! While the scale is slightly different in height, the overall look is the biggest difference.
We’ll also take compare some pictures of the new Breachers and Kasrkin as well, that way, you can really get a full feel for the scale and look.
Imperial Guard Cadian Miniatures Size & Look Comparison
These images come from zero_five_kim on Instagram and really give a good idea of how they look.
As you can see, they are actually slightly taller, which hopefully won’t make a huge difference if you already have a ton of the old models. However, the proportions are way different, with a much more human-like feel. Judging from the comments, a lot of people seem to think this is a step in the right direction for the line.
We actually grabbed the box, and they look great in person, so we have no complaints either.
The size compared to the other minis didn’t really change too much either, and they seem to actually look more in line with the more recent Warhammer Miniatures now.
This is actually from Rob’s unboxing, and they look much more like the Forge World Death Korps of Krieg miniatures scale-wise than they do the older Cadians. Just interesting to see how they compare!
New Imperial Guard Kasrkin & Breachers Miniatures Size Comparison
Also thanks to zero_five_kim we can compare the scale of the other new imperial guard miniatures as well!
The Breacher and the Kasrkin have a much more “human” look and are a little taller. However, the scale is close enough for older models to be in the game (just like the Cadians).
They actually come in a hair taller than the Admech but are slightly smaller than the Eldar.
Obviously, they are still dwarfed by the Warahmmer+ exclusive Terminator, as they should be!
One thing is for sure, the proportions on the new Imperial Guard Models look much more life-like than what we have seen before, so if you love the old sausage fingers and giant heads, you might be disappointed.
