@oriskany Well that’s the agreed scale from nearly all manufacturers.

 

But Warlord when they brought in their rather “bespoke” 13.5mm and got a bit of minor backlash for trying to lock in new players to being only able to buy their miniatures returned with the argument “No they are 15mm to the top of the head, and it’s always been measured that way” (never mind their other ranges being 28mm, I guess now 32mm to the top of the head although they don’t advertise them as such).

 

I see now that they are doing Epic scale AWI now, I was tempted for a moment but I’m not going to trap myself into being able to buy from only one company. I’m sticking to 10mm (measured to the eyeline), as Pendraken do a fine range, sculpted by N’Iron’s own Clib (who does probably THE best 10mm sculpts around with multiple variations to each pose).
