20 Tallest Humans in Warhammer 40K Universe

Humans generally aren’t the biggest of the bunch, a normal man would be around 5-6 ft in height or 150-180cm for the metric loving world. But in the grim dark, there are mutants that have grown bigger and those that have grown shorter on average than a regular person. Then there are also huge cyborgs as well as trnashumans, So here in this video we will showcase to you the 20 tallest humans in 40K, at least the ones that haven’t been corrupted by Chaos, or at least at the point that they haven’t yet turned to the ruinous powers.

The source was a blank/pariah, but we know for a fact that they are not actually immune to the Warp, just very, very resistant to it - but a potent enough psyker can overwhelm even them, and there are none more potent that the God Emperor, so even she saw what she expected to see.

[@tinheart2853]

That line was interesting, but the thing is that powerful psyker can overpower blanks and vice versa, which begs the question, did he allow his psycic presence to be blanked by said sister?

I refuse to accept that Tyberos is just an astartes that happened to be larger than every other that's existed. They've made a point to establish that he moves at incredible speeds that shouldn't be possible. Faster in his custom armor than other Astartes are while unencumbered. His arms can't be tracked while slashing. He can hide his presence to the point he was mistaken for a statue. And there's the question of his weapons, since they're of such an ancient make, that even the Ad Mech has no idea about them, but they're also clearly for someone of his size. There's just way too much about him that doesn't add up.

[@LordCrate-du8zm]

For one thing, his Geneseed is what some call “chimera Geneseed”. Half Night Lord and half Raven Guard, which explains his stealth. His claws are theorized by fans to be the ones used by Konrad Kurze or Corvus Corax, hence why they’re made for someone his size. His power? Uh… maybe the chimera Geneseed has side effects???

[@im2randomghgh]

Luckily you don't have to accept that he's larger than every other astartes because he isn't. There's exactly one description of his height and it's "a head taller" than other marines. That makes him slightly smaller than a primaris marine. As for his speed, that also comes from one passage that called his weapons a blur while he was fighting - a description that has been used for nearly every marine in 40k. It doesn't add up because it's meme lore

There are regular humans in the real world that are just MASSIVE in size, if you encounter them with your own eyes it looks much more intimidating, as being just large in size is something different if you the entire body is more massive, without being out of shape (if someone is just fat, you see that, but if the proportions look fine, its just a massive human being). Very big people that are 2.1m and more can look like absolute giants. A person 3m+ would make everyone around them look like tiny toddlers.

Catachan's homeworld along with being a death world was also a heavy gravity world. It made them stronger then stock humans but also made them shorter then the average. This was from the book Death World. I have seen them being listed as taller then stock on the Warhammer 40k wiki but I see no reference. They were referred as "baby ogryns" due to being heavily muscled, perhaps that lead to the wiki thinking that was also meant height. But maybe the book Death World is wrong as well.

[@80krauser]

The Spess Marines have toilet things done by their armor while they are in it. And I think Gulliman is stuck in his to keep him alive. But otherwise yes they would build him a giant ornate toilet and probably found a dynastic hereditary order to clean up the poop stains and feel they were blessed by the Emperor while doing so. Modern presidents have their own toilet detail that follows them and collects their urine and feces to dispose of so other countries don't get it and analyze it. Ancient rulers had personal butt wipers and bath aides to wash their balls. A giant magic super-general who is literally the only thing keeping your civilization alive would well be worth making a super toilet and carry it around.

primarch sizes just by impression and some faq. Tallest to shortest: all these primarchs just seem like they would be tall, and of course some are actually described as tall or even through pictures Vulkan Magnus Ferrus Manus Sanguinius (seems like he would be tall) Mortarion Lion Dorn Lorgar Emperor: his height was never really a standout thing. Mid: Horus Corax Kurze Perturabo Khan shortest: Guilliman Angron and Leman Russ ( i mean cmon, just seems like they would be) Fulgrim Alpharius and Omegon (described so)

[@yaroslavolkhovik8413]

I certainly understand that you are just fanboys, but damn it, in the Outer Dark there is a literal quote about the growth of Tyberos. He is only a head taller than the surrounding firstborn. There is no 3 or 4 meter Tyberos. This is a headcanon.

[@im2randomghgh]

The Emperor isn't a giant, Vulkan isn't the tallest primarch, Tyberos isn't the tallest space marine, custodes other than Valdor don't even appear on the list, and Ogryns have their size downplayed here pretty massively. Let's stick to the lore :)

[@aoofmg6684]

Its sometimes strange how the writers contradict each others. In some of the stories Mortarion is twice the hight of his astartes as they went barely over his belt line. In one of the phoenicians books he rested his arm on the shoulder of a dreadnought. I highly prefer this version where a primarch is over 5 meters tall because it gives them more of the demigod stature like in the movie gods of egypt. Astartes tower head and shoulder over an average human so that a common soldiers hair line is level with the lower edge of the pouldrons - and with Orks being as big if not bigger. Why the fuck do Orks now have red blood by the way?

[@theskorpian]

Well Mortarion is mostly machine so his height could vary depending on his armor at the time

[@kekero540]

Did you know Frank Horrigan in fallout 2 is 12 feet tall?

[@bobbobertbobberton1073]

This is all conjecture, complete head cannon in most of these cases.

[@TheAlexDude]

we all know Big E is only that big because he wears Sly Marbo's pjs.

[@ChromisPasqueflowerBowerbird]

There are a lot more Squats in Votann than you gave them credit for.

[@michaelhamar3305]

For comparison lets take DARK SOULS 3 bosses primarchs would be as tall as champion gundyr /Vulkan would be as tall as dragon slayer armor/emperor would be size of nameless ling

[@IamZeus1100]

Except Magnus , he can be as big as a titan if he wants

[@joesheridan9451]

Bit silly/pointless comparison. We know nothing about the avtheight of anything in dark souls. Sure those bosses look big but we don’t know that the player is a regular sized human. He could be 2 foot or 20 foot for all we know

If you had to get really weird about it and calculate average male human height across European Nations, you could add about 15cm in average height for every 150-200 years. By 40k you’d have some Salvador Dali Elephant looking dudes walking around.

[@MouldMadeMind]

If you go back in time to before the invention of agricultur humans were about as tall as now, this sugest that this is just how tall well fed humans grow.

[@lllKRENDELLLlll]

Why are Alpharius and Omegon suddenly taller than ordinary space Marines??? The lore clearly says that they are the same height as ordinary space Marines, not primaris, but ordinary space marines. Even the main feature of the primarch of the alpha Legion is the ability to merge with ordinary space Marines because the primarchs of the alpha Legion are the same height as their legionnaires.. Another plot bug or the author messed up something...

[@Rhino_king1]

Morty was the tallest primarch before being made daemon primarch

[@pipo7025]

well, we may not have the marines but at leas we've got transhumans... and dwarves

[@marklapkin9812]

Magnus the Red was the tallest. Vulkan was the most physically strongest.

[@patronofdebaucheryandviolence]

No magnus could temporarily project himself into looking taller to try to intimidate others by using his psychic powers,Vulkan is still physically the tallest and largest primach

[@GS-lf4rk]

Emperor is shape shifter, he doesnt really have a fixed body size.

[@nestersan]

Your title is non-sensical. 20 TALLEST. Then start with literally the shortest

[@Kaldortangerine]

i love that the tts vulkan is the one standing in line

[@desgildanphi8825]

The fact that u differentiate Yarrick and the average human trigger me

[@guvnor035]

Im 6ft5 so i consider myself a catachan solidger

[@Griblax]

I didnt knew Tyberos the red wake was that big, imagine being a 2.3 metres tall supersoldier and your captain is one complete meter above you, thats why he is called the red wake if he moves its like an ocean flooding you with blood. Imagine him talking to a primarch. He would dwarf guilliman whom he could theoretically meet. If he walks alongside Vulkan they look like normal people having a talk. The orks must love him. Crazy shit, the rareness of this makes it even more fun. Imagine Guilliman and the Lion lining up against the Tau and Tyberos standing somewhere completely dissected with his men. They must be thinking what did that primarch do, to be in the naughty corner 😂😂

[@SPBArkadii9]

Он не выше Робаута Жиллимана , его рост максимум 2,7 метра. Про это уже писали в комментариях выше 👆

[@DoomFinger511]

I was hoping you would do a pull back and show all the people in a row with their height comparisons.

[@bobvancevance701]

i like that gw started treating humans like orks

[@RaddSpencer]

Uh....are the measurements supposed to include armour? That really doesn't sound right. It would mean that, as shown in this video, Custodes are about as tall, maybe even a little shorter, than regular space marines, once they took their helmets off. Actually, I think sometimes the video is including armour and sometimes it isn't. It has Valdor eye to eye with Guilleman but to do so it makes Guilleman shorter, armour-wise.

[@anneliseolsen6896]

Two points you got wrong. On Space Marines. Firstborn are 8 ft tall, on average. As mentioned in an old White Dwarf article from around the mid/late 1990s. And Primaris would thus be 9 ft tall, on average, if the minis are an indicator.

[@thegoofygoblin2081]

i came here for 20 of the tallest humans not the 20 of shortest to tallest humans.

[@trenxee1165]

Came here from Neuro-sama video. Maybe WH40K humans worship the time god too?

[@Ownedyou]

Valdor was taller than Russ, but the Lion was taller than Guilliman but by a small bit. In the thumbnail, the G-man is shorter than Valdor... Was K-diddy that tall or typicall GW inconsistency?

[@davehood2667]

Typical GW inconsistency, none of their writers even try.

[@greendalf123]

This is wrong. Don't let bad lore sources misguide you. That is all.

[@GuzziHeroV50]

Umm are the images of Primaris and Firstborn the wrong way round? Pretty sure you have a Mk7 Aquila as the 'Primaris' and MK10 Tacticus as 'Firstborn'
