o scale model trains
What scale size are warhammer 40k models?
O-scale, N-scale, HO-scale….? There are some really nice trees available at model train stores and online sites that are cheaper than GW terrain pieces that I’ve seen, and being that I’m historically horrible at making trees by hand, this seems like a viable option. Just wondering what scale I should consider?
Thanks to anyone who can help.
Hmm, I didn’t find any Epic scale on the site so I gues it’s 28mm size only nowadays.
There is no real fractional scale for Warhammer and most other figures in this size. “28mm” is just a reference measurement which is normally used to indicate the height of an average male in that “scale”. Thing is though that Warhammer is not using natural proportions which means that if you would calculate it based on the height you’d get something like 1:60 and if you consider shoulderwidth it would be 1:43 or so. This is the reason why you often see that it’s 1:35 tank models which have been converted for Warhammer. Anyway, for more info on scales: go to http://theminiaturespage.com and check the sculpting threads.
As to your question at hand, I’d take a figure to the train model store and simply compare it with the trees they have to see what looks good. Scalewise it would be O (1:43 UK, 1:45 Europe, 1:48 US) or S (1:64) which come closest. Thing is though that if it comes to bigger trees a true scale tree would be dominating a terrain piece very much. And you may not want that effect. So if you go for “represetative” trees check the HO scale as well. Also if you need a x-mas tree.
