Default How big is an Ogre?

Hey, just a curiousity... how big are Ogres? What are their physical dimensions... height, length, width and such. If there are actual numbers could someone point me towards them please.

thanks,

Mike

Depends on the model... the bigger ones could go around 40'W x 90'L x 40'H... I'd have to mesure to be exact.

I'm kind of curious about this myself - I'd like to get an Ogrethulhu just because they look neat, but I can't find anything that will tell me how large the mini is or how big the tank is that it represents...and with neither of those, the 1:285 scale figure is useless.

I was tempted to buy one... just so I could smash it with a ball-peen hammer.

It's a 1/285 mini, so measure it, multiply by 285, and divide by 12.

And how do you propose doing that, as I have nothing to measure? Okay, so it's based off of a Mark V - how big is a Mark V supposed to be, either as a mini or in-game? Nothing tells me that. 1/285th of what?

If it's 1/285th of the size it would be, then multiplying the size of the mini itself (measured in the units of your choice) by 285 tells you how big it really would be... it's reciprocal.

EDIT: Wait, are you saying you don't have a mini?

3.25" long, 1.7" wide, about 0.9" ground to base of tower, about 1.6" to top of secondaries (mine has lost his tower. :( ) (Mk .V)

77' x 40' x 38'-ish since I can't accurately measure height.

Urm...he just meant that he has no mini to measure...so no matter how many equations he has he still has nothing to measure.

Then he needs to buy some... a bunch of them, preferably.

Help support my favorite game.
