Default A VI for the fifth?

Do you like massive overkill in your Ogre games? Then check out the latest update on stretch goals for the Ogre Miniatures, Second Edition Kickstarter campaign.

The MkVI and the Dopp are different enough from each other that they make for a tactically interesting duel. Definitely need the Dopp!

That said, I was a little bit disappointed when I got my metal MkVI and found it was about exactly the same size as the V. I was hoping for something a little bit more epic. With plastic being way less expensive than pewter/raladium/whatever, and the tooling being given a new pass through a 3d modelling program, can we please upscale the MkVI and Dopp by about 25%?

Using Winchell Chung's size guide published in Ogrezine, the VI is just under 2 meters longer than the V, at 27.4 and 25.5 meters respectively. Bigger, yes, but not 25% so.

Do we know whether it is meaningfully wider?

I've got 3 5/8" long, 1 7/8" wide, and 1 15/16" tall (with tower) for the Mk. VI. The plastic Mk. V is 3 1/4" long, 1 13/16" wide, and 2 1/4" tall with tower.


Edit: You're asking about the "real" dimensions, not the miniatures. Herp a derp.

I checked the usual sources, and couldn't find any better info on the Mk. VI's dimensions. I think someone is just going to have to ask Winchell.

Some images to (try) to answer that question:

Our Mark VI mini page
BGG Ogre Miniatures page

Of course, these assume that the original metal miniatures were made in proper scale relative to each other.
