Scale

[geoffb]

I'm very interested in having a go at this (just bought some new greenstuff) butI don't have any of the fantasy figures to scale against -but plenty of WW2.
Are the fantasy figures the same size as the WW2?
Otherwise I do have some Warmaster 'characters' (empire/  orcs) - would they be a better comparison?

As you're going to make a monster, I'll just say, do how you prefer !!

The Fantasy ranges are all bigger than our WW2, probably more like 12mm.  The Dungeon Monsters themselves vary a great deal, from very small Grubs, on 8mm diameter bases, upto the bigger Giant Worm or Oracle which are somewhere around 25mm long/high.

As Barbarian says, as long as it suits the Dungeon environment it's fine!

Haven't got any WWII, but have got some of the medieval/ancient stuff.

As Leon wrote, the fantasy range are slightly larger so they tend to dwarf the historical stuff a bit, probably about a head larger on average.  This is the best picture I could find with a quick search.  The skeleton far left is Pendraken fantasy, whilst the wizard is from ARL18 Late Roman Personalities.  (From http://aportodos.mforos.com/1354550/7782193-10mm-pendraken-vs-kallistra/ )

Thanks for that - I did want to know how big the adventurers are as the monsters need to scale to them.
No point in having a a hill giant that looks like a circus midget!

Definitely!

In terms of relative sizes, if you consider the historicals to be 5', the fantasy figures look about 6' with some - like the dark elf and amazon heroes I've got - being closer to 7'!

Can't find a photo with both the giant (AC1) and an adventurer, but I'd say it's close to 35mm of the top of my head (the walls are 25mm high)
