I'd like some advice from you more experienced bits hunters, I need some Napoleonics to convert my IG, but although I've come across some great models at great prices the scale doesnt seem like its going to work.... (Perry and Victrix) here's a Perry and an Emperor's finest

Any idea if there are Napoleonics or any other historicals that ARE in fact in the weird and wonderful scale of WH40K?

That is not bad if you think a space marine is 7 to 9 feet tall and the guard 5 to 6 feet tall

Maybe, but keep in mind that nearly all the other IG models these days are a lot chunkier (and taller) than those lovely Perrys, or at least I think they are

The problem isn't the height of the figures so much as their chunkiness and distorted proportions including the weapons.

That's actually a very nice scale. I wonder how it relates to the DKOK or Elysian scale used by FW.

Good point, I reckon Elysians are the same as the rest of WH40K IG etc- although i noticed the Perry's are the same as the Lord of the Rings range, which is interesting- you place LOTR against Warhammer models and they are very slight indeed.
