@avernos 14mm !

Interesting, of course you do realise that company in America will do 12.7mm or half inch as Americans don’t like metric.

(hell a lot of us this side of the pond don’t either)

12mm?

I really don’t understand what they’re trying to achieve here….
WW2/D-day is a fairly well contested market already, do they really think everyone is going to jump ship to their new scale??

@avernos Kevins reply , he cant see OTT as its blocked (games)

Nope, I want my 16.98764857mm figures and I want them NOW!!!!!

It’s possible they wanted to provide 10mm plastic WW2 stuff, which would be a novelty and that 12mm is the smallest their tools can currently do at the quality they want to achieve… Guess it remains to be seen how well it blends in with existing 10mm ranges. Also their price, but that’s usually pretty good with Victrix.

Actually, it might sell well with Bandai collectors who like converting (if they do infantry, its on my gundam list), heck we may see some crazy Fanhammer games out of this.

People will buy what they want to buy. Most manufacturers play fast and loose what is 6,10,12,15 or 28mm these days. Baccus for instance  are certainly  not 6mm and are closer to 7/8mm Most 15mm these days  has scale creep and there more 17/18mm these days. The important thing is that no matter what new figures you like in whatever scale  you like they all end up compatible with what you already have

There is one very important detail. is it 12mm to the top of the head or to the eye.

if they mean 12mm to the top of the head that more or less fits exactly with the pendraken 10mm to the eye line. And as they state compatibility with other 10 mm lines that would make sense.

 

So it’s hopefully not another scale. It’s 10 mm labeled to include the top of the head. Something a plastics manufacturer may be more likely to do given they don’t have a history of manufacturing napoleonic tin soldiers.

In that case you could mix and match individuals in a squad from different brands, and just say some guys are tall…
