Exactly! But why? He's got magical powers in the W10s, sure - why do we feel he'd be extra large? Orlanth isn't famous for being big. Because he's important and powerful. Important and powerful people look taller, right?

If you're building a wargaming army for HOTT rules, there's a unit type called "hero". It's suggested that the Hero be a larger figure than the surrounding followers on the same base, to give just this effect.
