Also, things get even more curious when comparing figures in 1/48 and 28mm (Heroic?) scale to each other:   If you go by the old sole-to-eye measurement, the 28mm guy is a shorter/smaller ...

I picked the unmarked fourth option - it's "all of the above" for me:  I think that outside WWII and 40K, we're in a beggars-can't-be-choosers situation for the most part.  I'd be just fi...

I haven't bought this set (yet), but - There's enough goblin parts per sprue to make five goblins - three infantry, and two cavalry.  The cavalry legs, I'm told, are suitable for gluing to a ...

Those caps suit the halfings really well!

Not fully related but on the topic of vehicles no one makes ww1 1/56 tanks in plastic.  Ide go crazy if we saw things like the Italian fiat 2000 or a7v in plastic. One day someone will do it...

It would seem scale in this application is like other artistic expression, quite subjective.  I think I will switch from my current 1/56 to 1/48 since my intended game, Chain of Command from ...

Any chance we could get a side by side with GW zweihanders?

@Steffen Seitter  I think your L6/40 and Semovente 47/32 suggestion is a great one. Same chassis for both vehicles so easy to have one sprue for the lower hull and tracks of both kits. ...

@Bear Durham Thank you! In general I prefer "dual kits" if possible. There's just something great about being able to take a single kit in different directions that I like, and they tend to come w...

@Yronimos Whateley I somehow completly forgot about the British armored cars, those would be great vehicles for Death Fields as well!  I thought some more on the construction power armor idea...

Part of the issue with comparing vehicle scales to infantry scales is infantry are almost always based, while vehicles are almost always NOT based.  If you put the same thickness base under 1...

Special clothing item: The plash-palatka.  This is a fairly unique garment.  It's a ground sheet and shelter half of course.  But by fastening a couple buttons and pulling on a d...

@Joseph Wright  You know what, question 1 is a really good question.  I just studied the heck out of the pictures of that sprue and I can't figure it out.  Looking at the built Gob...

@Estoc Ok, that answers that part, thank you!

It would depend on which scale Wargames Atlantic would want to make their armored kit line in. The Renault FT-17 and the Renault R-35 aren't available in either 1/56 or 1/48 scale in plastic. Neith...

there are 30 total, so 6 sprues of 5.

I wonder if you would get different results if the poll read "What scale is best for use with 28mm" or something similar.  I think many use 1/56 because it is what's available.  

You could just make a simular Warg to GWs small insignificant scale that was chose... but bigger, better and bolder as a cross between a wolf and a hyena so people can make it work in whatever fant...

@Steffen Seitter  Suggest M5 instead of M3 Stuarts.  Much harder to find M5 models for some reason.

Looking rather Gnomish (Halfling with a Persian Headswap).

If you're just asking for historical WW2, I'd say 1/48, or if it matters in the rules whatever scale gives the mini the correct footprint.   However, for Sci fi gaming if I'm using a model k...

Polish TKS tankette. Obviously in conjunction with a 28mm 1939 Polish Infantry and Polish Cavalry box ;) TKS rampage: https://www.google.com/amp/s/nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/how-lone-pol...

Hey Folks! There's much talk about small WW2 Vehicles WGA could release. Let us collect and talk about some nice small Equipment. I think about: -L3/33 / L3/35 -L6/40 / Sermovente 47/32 -M3 / ...

@Geoff Maybury  That's a beautiful board.  I would love to play on that.  But isn't that a very narrow road?  More of a lane?  It looks like if the machinegunner went pron...

@Grumpy Gnome  Had some trouble with your second link.  I think this might work?: http://www.frontline-command.com/blog/the-question-of-scale-for-w-w-ii-28mm-gaming/ The comparison pho...

Does`nt really mater your choice of scale, the only time as I cringe, is when the two scales are used together in a real game. These are from the Rubicon site, note the fantastic scale proportions ...

@JTam I'm not sure if the Historical is updated to 3rd Edition, or is still based on 2nd.  I'm using Persians to build my Kingdoms of Men list for Kings of War.

Thought I should show my slow progess as a way of encouraging myself to get more done. I'm building an army of Persians and Persianised Halflings. I'm waiting on some bases, but now now, a cannon!

Bought a box of the goblins, super excited. however I have some questions before I Willy nilly start chopping stuff off sprues. 1) one of the shields has a hole where the boss should be, and no h...

Sam Bellamy was kind enough to post some great comparison shots here: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/48739/light-vehicles-possibilities I think the comparison favors the 1/...

@Grumpy Gnome  I use 1/48 or 1/50th diecast.  (The difference between 1/48 and 1/50th is minimal). Imagine the miniatures in the photo you posted more upright in a natural walking pose....

Oh yes, some pistols would be nice. Would also love some crossbows but those could easily be supplied from the conquistador kit.

This "Dust" 1/48th scale model is a light walker. I cut the turret down put correct size hatches, Machine gun, storage rack, jerry cans and main gun. No good for dust but I got my own 1/56th  ...

Hi mate, Being ex trade I got this question asked ao many times. My reply was Si/fi any scale, and make it look right, with correct scale assessories Jerry cans. machine guns. etc. But if its real....

As someone who plans to use them for fantasy, "taller" and "beefier" are always good so they don;t look too out of proportion next to fantasy minis.

That Sprue could work as basic for other Sets with Expansions sprues.

How about generic chariot sprues, which get completed by diffferent Crews and works for most late Bronze Age factions? -Skeleton type chariot  for Canaanites, Hurrians and Mitanni -Wooden ty...

I am struggling a bit on deciding which scale to reference for my WW2 28mm gaming. The “heroic scale” of Warlord Games (which I prefer artistically for gaming) compared to the “t...

Scale really matters to me. Not so much as what is truly accurate as what is artistically pleasing to my eye. My painting and terrain building is as big a part of the hobby to me as the actual gami...

@Yronimos Whateley  Could you provide a bit more context as to where these native horses were or time period? It comes a bit out of the blue for me. I am not very familiar with Irish horses ...

Early war inspiration: "Fortress of War" aka "Brest Fortress." A solid war film. Features the good old Russian shovel attack as all good Russian war films should.  Spoiler: This is based on ...

I vote for Roman legionaries from the late republic under Julius Caesar, Pompey, Mark Antony, etc. Warlord Games are the only maker of plastic figures for this eta, and are of low quality. 

@Yronimos Whateley  Yes.

@Brian Van De Walker in the 1st Boer War (1880-81), the British were still wearing the Zulu War era red coats, blue trousers and white pith helmets. See image below of the Battle of Majuba Hill, wh...

@Sam Bellamy  Awesome pics/comparisons.  Thanks Brother. I think the 1/48 tank is the better match to reality. I've been fortunate enough to examine a T-34 first hand.  It's a s...

I've only been casually scanning the info I've run into, and thought maybe I was remembering bits wrong, but I do recall one of the sources I looked at referring to claims by natives that the horse...

The interesting thing to me is that the height is almost identical, but the footprint on the table is definitely different, while the hatches on the smaller version of the T-34 look entirely too sm...

@JTam I agree that 1:48 often fits better. I only have pics of T-34:s to compare betweed scales. But this is what they look like.
