Elliott steam turbines are rated for inlet steam conditions up to 2000 psig/1005 degrees F and speeds up to 20,000 rpm.The engine is a 2-cylindered compound, double-acting of a V-design, with the cylinders H.P. The burner is similar to that described in our May 1931 issue of "S.C.D." The whole of the power plant is installed at the nose of the aeroplane, with the engine forward of the steam generator.High specific power ( kW/kg,kW/l, kW/EURO. Increasing torque when shaft speed is reduced. Steam engine is more compact and cost efficient at power out put below 1 MW.I can imagine what would the terminators be like, wa… much bigger. Gosh they would be big and awesome, like what would be describe in the Black Library novels. (The Space Marine and the Imperial Guard guardman in the above image is still unfinished.) If the Space Marine is to be proportion to the miniature actual size as what is described in the fluff, it would be as shown from the image above. I have done up a rough height analysis using a digital imaging software. So, if we were to convert the Space Marine actual height to the miniature Space Marine height, the Space Marine miniature would be at 2.5/58.3 = 0.043m, convert to cm = 4.3cm If compared the actual human height for a Imperial Guard Guardman to the miniature Imperial Guard Guardman, the scale factor = 58.3. Imperial Guard Guardman = 1.75m (average human height) Let’s check out the height comparsion of the Space Marine and a typical Imperial Guard. It will be a super tight squeeze in the Rhino tank. I cant imagine a squad of 10 Space Marines come jumping out of the Space Marine Rhino tank… haha. Then again, in proportion to the vehicles as well, I think its also a mismatch to scale. Though Game Workshop has released new miniatures now and then, seems like the scale factor has not been updated. The proportion of the miniature for the Space Marines vs the Guardman is not really to scale as what would be described in the fluff and novels. For a typical Imperial Guard guardman, the general height would be around 1.75 meters tall or more slightly. With the power armour and helmet all fitted on, I would say the Space Marines would be standing at a height of about around 2.5 meters tall or more slightly. I guess from the fluff and stories about 40k Space Marines, they are supposed to be about like 2 meters tall after all the genetic enhancements. A question pops to my head when I was just painting my Warhammer 40k Imperial Guard banner… How tall is a Warhammer 40k Space Marine? Seems like the miniature proportion for the space marine vs a typical Imperial Guard guardman is like not so right, right?
