Post subject:  Ordinatus Size?

Hi,

I'm thinking about getting an Ad-Mech Skiatariii army if I do I plan on scratch building my own Ordinatus
But having never even seen a game of epic in action I'm not sure how big they should be

Could someone please give me a rough idea of how big both the Minorus and Majoris should be?

Thanks

I put mine on the GW 90x52 oval bases, they don't totally fill it, but it gives them a good sense of scale.

At a minimum, I'd suggest don't make them smaller than if you put a rhino in front of a land raider for the body.

Thanks is that for a minor or a major?

The minorus I put together years ago were a chimera for the control pod and a Macharius for the main tractor. For a majoris I'd use an additional macharius for the tractor or make it from two baneblade hulls.

That's how I built my first Minorii:

Old Land Raider + old Rhino + plasticard + magnetized Beetleback titan weapons.

Minoris Minoris next to some knights for scale?

They can be really vast though. I expect I'll make my Majoris 15-20cm or so long when/if I get round to making one.

Some fiction and art even has city block sized Ordinatus Majoris e.g.

I really like them Speaker!
Simple concept, yet very cool looking.

Another way to think of it is 'what else is DC2 and 2 Void shields' and make it +/- that size. So that's maybe not quite the size of a Warhound, but similar to a Baneblade.

I have plans to make some out of the chassis of the GW Kataphron Destroyers - inspired by this: https://gemana.wordpress.com/2015/06/07 ... leviathan/

There's a YouTube link on that page too where you can see a bit more detail.
