Hello folks


Some time ago, I tried to make one more conversion of non-40k bits into IG equipment. And I spent severall hours searching, not just for bits, but for a way to compare sizes... again.

I got fed up... so I've decided to build a gallery of size comparisons of non-w40k models with w40k models, with an emphasis on armour, to use as baseline in future conversions. You can see what I've found so far in the following link:

Scale and size comparisons

I'll keep posting whenever I find new pics. Meanwhile, if anyone wants to contribute, send me images, or post here, and I'll add them to the gallery. This way, we'll all have a 1-stop reference, no need to search half the Internet for this.

PS: if you want credit for the photo, let me know.

Now that is a great idea. Good job.

pikachu?

I hope never to know...

New Special Ability for Ironhand Straken: "Picachu! I pick you!"

you spelled that wrong..



is a sentinel and a robogear... T rex.. for your use..a bit blurry.

Another thing to account is the size of the historical vehicle you want to use. Some Work better at 72nd ,others 48th yet other at 35th.
Smaller vehicles you want a lower number larger vehicles a larger number.

Some past exp
British Universal carriers at 35th scale work well for salamanders
tigers at 48th )56 if you can find it)
T=34 at 48th as well
maraders iii at 48th work well for armored sentinals at 35 they make great medusas

Always if experementing buy 1 first and test before yo waste money to get a squadron and find out it is the wrong scale

Thanks, it's up!

Duh! I'm not young enough to have actually played with those things. Too busy working.

I was too busy not caring about that, myself.

Excellent guide! I would have found this useful had I not gotten 12 tanks for my birthday last year.

That sentinel Kokagami is rather cool looking.

I vote that we pin this thread. Awesome and thank you.

Thank you.

Outstanding! Good to have a quick comparison to show to new players. That picture of the 1/48th Tiger may just gain me the head way I need in the ever lasting 1/35 vs 1/48 40k argument. That's right I'm looking at all you 1/48ers out there, sure it's the right length, but suddenly it's been made into a low rider, and all the hatches are designed for infants which even for the Imperium is a bit low. Man up and deal with having a bigger tank, every army in the world has been doing so since 1915.

I 2nd the Pin!

This is one of those topics that comes up at least 10 time a year, on every 40k board in the world... I know there used to be a site that had different 28-32mm model comparisons but that went unter about 3 years ago. I'd love to see this expand with more and more comparisons, it'd help a great many of us.

Thanks Hammerbolt for starting this.

Np mate, I was really fed up with having to search this.

Send this link to your mates, and invite anyone to send similar photos. I'll post them up, if they are clear and of use.
