The head and hands are much too large, for example.<br />JJohn Lambsheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598696442104566164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-48468826758788142362011-02-14T13:20:38.836+00:002011-02-14T13:20:38.836+00:00Hi again John

I suppose its a bit like putting a WWI tommy up against a modern british soldier with body armour radio kit and more webbing than you can shake a stick at. plus the average WWI tommy was about 5'6-8" where as they probably top out at 6'1-6'4" these days.shaunnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-78208451868124538722011-02-14T07:33:42.752+00:002011-02-14T07:33:42.752+00:00Dear James

Compare to the original Rogue Trader Imperial Army or prior Cadians and you can see how "fat" they got.

Some people are just ... tall. Maybe she was a tall belle before she went all rotten.<br /><br />I am tempted to do a copycat (ummm, I mean "touching homage") post on my own blog.Mike Howellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119045198858883590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-79811412328304430812011-02-13T10:51:08.437+00:002011-02-13T10:51:08.437+00:00The Malifaux is huge in scale but the others aren&...The Malifaux is huge in scale but the others aren't too bad.The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-65585124153051177252011-02-13T10:14:58.391+00:002011-02-13T10:14:58.391+00:00The "epic" proportions of the Cadian is ...The "epic" proportions of the Cadian is clear in contrast to the Warlord miniature -- the arms are visually proportioned differently. <br /><br />I have related question for you: do you consider 25mm to be different to 28mm scale these days?jabberjabberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15314798958920326898noreply@blogger.com
