Some of our minis have small “islands” that their feet are attached to. Games Workshop for example is known for “heroic 28mm”, with heads, hands and weapons out of realistic proportions.įor a much deeper explanation on scale in regards to this, try this link. The 28mm generally refers to height from soles of feet to eyes but the dreaded “scale creep” and variation of interpretation of scale between manufacturers can confuse things. This kind of base has quite a tall profile compared to other 25mm round bases. This then fits into a slotted 25mm base, sometimes called a “slotta base”. Some minis, like many of the older Games Workshop ones, have a tab attached to the bottom of their feet. One of the things that affects the apparent size is how the overall height is affected by the base choice. Dwarven Forge (Factory painted), Wizkids, Reaper Bones Black, Perry Miniatures, Fireforge, Conquest (with a lot of non-Conquest bits), Northstar Miniatures Frostgrave, and Games Workshop. Here you can see a selection of minis, from left to right. Or ones with less defined features so that they can more easily add their own via their painting style.
I find a detailed, crisp sculpt easier to paint well. When I said well made, I mean a combination of quality material, production and sculpt. Each is selected considering a balance of looking cool, being well made and being cost effective. Some are designed and marketed for role playing games, others for tabletop wargames and even a few for board games. Our minis come from a number of manufacturers. A little variation in scale can also help minis look less like clones. We can have Warwick Davis next to Andre the Giant for example. In this we accept some differences in scale because humanity, in fact nature itself, is diverse in reality. In addition we have some 1/72 scale minis, Trolls, where they are a bit smaller than the 28mm Trolls but look the part nonetheless.įrom left to right, DarknAlliance (1/72), Eaglemoss, Eaglemoss, Games Workshop, Eaglemoss, Games Workshop, Eaglemoss, Eaglemoss. This is apparently about 1/56 scale if you are a scale modeler. We focus on 28mm but we do have some 25mm and 32mm minis. Those shelves warped due to moisture when they were temporarily stored in our barn. No, they are not so heavy that they are making the shelves bow under their weight. Some of our miniatures, models, figures… or minis as I like to say.
