malika666 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Worst case scenario, keep buying old 6mm human infantry with the 8mm space marines to have true scale marines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJedi Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I'll look at the pics but no non-40k scale games for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulJam Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 8mm seems like a something of a concession to existing players, as opposed to 10mm anyway. as suggested 8mm titans would probably be a truer scale for 6mm than the existing models, and 8mm infantry might not be too jarring a difference... just squint a bit. looking forward to seeing what unfolds anyway.

Vodunius Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Worst case scenario, keep buying old 6mm human infantry with the 8mm space marines to have true scale marines! That's the thing though: at TRUE 6mm scale a Space Marine would be about 8mm.. one of the problems with the Epic 40,000 marine sprue was that the Scouts *were* true scale whilst the regular marines were the old so-called 6mm scale ones that were only 5.5mm talle. So I can't help but wonder given FW's Horus Heresy fixation if they aren't in fact going with True Scale 6mm but referring to it as 8mm because that's how tall a marine - the infantry they're focusing on - will be.

malika666 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I wonder how big the titans will be. I mean, maybe they won't be that different from the proxy 'true scale' models as seen in this pic (bottom pic). From left to right: converted Leviathan Stalker from Vanguard Miniatures, fan made Reaver Titan, GW's Epic 40k Warlord Titan, fan made Warhound model.

Malakai Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Yeah I spent a lot of time collecting and painting FW models and buildings that were brittle and expensive. I hope they do it right this time. GW made a mistake by not making another plastic starter like they did with Battle for Calth. That was a "new" game and help bring in new customers by the truckloads.
