Just bought War Games Illustrated 291 - Page 4 - The Assault Glider picture (DFS-230 Gliders) Is it me or the angle or do those Models look the complete wrong scale for the 15mm mini's including the man sticking out the top?

Collecting Forge World 30k????? If you prefix any Thread Subject line on 30k or Pre-heresy or Horus Heresy with [30K] we can convince LEGO and the Admin team to create a 30K mini board if we can show there is enough interest! |

Here is a Picture help those of you who don't have WI. It looks too small, too thin, or is the gunner too big?

Slightly too thin, and a bobblehead on top seems to be causing the issue. Imagine the wind resistance for that huge balloon of a head as well.

"There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious—makes you so sick at heart—that you can't take part. You can't even passively take part. And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all" Mario Savio |

The original assault glider was very small and thin but it doesn't look quite right, that massive head does look ridiculous though with his MG perched on a ball
