Title: Just how high are 10mm figures
Post by: Gunfreak on 11 October 2010, 01:38:23 PM
Ok, mabye a silly question "they are 10mm"

But like all scales I asume some 10mm makers are more 10mm then others.

There are very few 15mm that are actualy 15mm, AB are like 20mm on top of the head, and with bayonets points they are more like 30mm total, from toe of the sculpts to top of the sculpts.

Even 6mm, arre rearly 6mm, same with 28mm ect.

So How tall are 10mm Pendraken figures. I need to know as I don't have any 10mm figres yet, and I'm making rail fences. and they can't be to big

Based on what I happen to have on my painting desk in front of me: all measurements from bottom of boot to eye, and taken from the most upright figures I've got to-hand: [and measured with a ruler...not a micrometer!]

Viet Minh: 8.5mm
French Para: 9mm
Jacobite Pikeman: 9mm
SYW French artillery officer: 9mm
SYW British musketeer: 9.5mm
Goblin archer: 10mm
WW1 Brit rifleman: 9mm
WW1 German: 9mm

I mix some Kallistra figures in my Pendrakens; they're far taller, but five minutes in a reasonably busy street will remind you that people are often of very different scales. The problem becomes more significant when I mix in Magister Militum, who are quite dwarfish by comparison. My Chinese really are a very mixed-looking bunch, but I think I'm going to be pleased with the result. They should look like rather a rabble.

Thansk like like they are close to true scale then, that means some of the quality paint jobs I've seen are even more impressive

How come the Goblin is the tallest? I thought they were supposed to be small.

From memory wasnt the quote "Yer father was a hamster and yer mother smelled of Elderberries", my favourite taunt from that game which I played way too much.
