Anything under 181cm is sub-human.

Tallest possible. You don't wanna be a manlet, do you?

Ogryn - Shortest possible.
Psyker - Tallest possible.
Veteran - Tallest possible.
Zealot - Shortest possible.

Why? Veterans and Ogryns body block shots from team mates, and having extremely tall back row classes allows you to shoot over team and mob heads to reach other targets in the back better by raising your camera and projectile origin point.

Unless you are an ogryn, too short.

Tall is bad.

Make yourself short so you can actually duck behind cover.

this doesnt affect gameplay at all, be whatever height u want. even if ur tall u can usually find places to duck and being as short as possible isnt helpful if your standing infront of a veteran, just dont stand infront of people if they are shooting. kinda stupid how they didnt add height change on the cosmetics editor but ok

iss more or less that i have to aim downwards as i cut the heads off lol.. and its a bit more spookie if they are the same hight i saw in death cam.. going to redo my spyke. its only lvl 2. going to make it in between the medium and tallest i think.

It does actually affect gameplay, in a big way.

A full size Ogryn will block the ranged classes by 20-30% more than a short one, this is a mathematical fact.

It will also be too big to actually pick up several scrips/grims because the character model doesn't physically fit in their hiding spots.

You can adjust the height?

Height unironically affects gameplay as shorter characters are easier to shoot around making them less likely to help the enemies.

dwarf... or gnome

what's the difference?

i play shortest possible but thats because my vet is named yosukefrompersona and yosuke from persona? he was short. not because of gameplay reasons or whatever.

I made the mistake of making the shortest possible Zealot.

You literally have to aim up to hit heads.

*addendum* I have other regular sized characters.
I also made the mistake of the tallest Ogryn and I literally get stuck on pipes hanging from the cieling.
