These look excellent, but the scale worries me as well. Is this 32mm in traditional way (to the eyes) or is 32mm the total height of the model? The latter probably wouldn't be an issue for using them next to GW models, but the former certainly would (as the models would actually be 34 or 35 mm tall.)
(And GW models are actually 28mm scale. Cadian soldiers are about 28mm to their eye level.)

We'll find out soon enough eh.
|
I PM'd them on Kickstarter; they confirmed that they measure 32mm to the top of the head, so my earlier comment was correct: these will fit in just fine with GW/FW minis, as well as any of the other 28mm "Heroic"/32mm/30mm/31mm ranges(I wish people would pick one and stick with it - how tall is an average human figure? Bam, there you go, that's your scale, stop fiddling about measuring to eyes or foreheads on specific minis).

I need to acquire plastic Skavenslaves, can you help?
I have a blog now, evidently. Featuring the Alternative Mordheim Model Megalist.

'Prudence' really means 'don't invest'. And 'efficient'? That means whatever you want it to mean, usually 'cut'. All really mean 'keep wages low for the masses, taxes low for the rich, profits high for the corporations, and accept the decline in public services and amenities this will cause'." - Robin McAlpine from Common Weal |

Thanks, good to know, I'm digging the look. I'm thinking I should go with this one, reminds me of Rage.

It looks really nice, especially the Vehicles. I'll definitely keep an eye on this one.

Latest update
We have searched high and wide to find the best detail resolution process that is practicable financially, and have settled on the system we are using now. Its not cheap, because its very slow, but I think you will agree the detail printed is just stunning. This image shows the quality of the printing process we are using. Its incredibly fine detail which avoids nasty step lines and stippled surfaces common on cheaper methods.
This process, designed for small intricate items prints in layers as fine as 6 micron. That's fine enough to cope with any detail we care to throw at it. Here are some images of the first vehicle parts back from the Printers.
Its all the parts for the first two buggies, more than 30 parts on those two models alone.!! and they are so nice..
The print quality is awesome. I apologise for my photographic skills, which are not great, but hopefully these show enough detail to give you an idea of how good the final product will look.
Some of you have asked about scale, we call it 32mm because we measure 32mm to the top of the head. I cant really show you that on these guys because they are sat down.

That is certainly good news. And measuring to the eyes is an old wargame traditions, as measuring to the top of the head is often difficult because the varied headgear (you know those crazy hats they used during Napoleon's wars.)

That is good news. I like their pricing brackets too. If I just want some dudes (and I do), I can get some without having to get everything else.
