Hello guys. I've been thinking on putting together a giant pic with all (or most) of
40k ships in scale for
my blog. It was
done before, but the author missed a lot of ships and included a lot of fan-made ones, so I though I can do better.
For this project I need lengths of spaceships in question. A lot of those can be found in
FFG's Rogue Trader roleplaying game, but it only covers a limited amount of vessels. So I thought to get the ship sizes by measuring miniature sizes and calculating using the data from ships that can be found both in
BFG and a Rogue Trader. That would also give me an answer to a question of the scale in which
BFG miniatures are made, which is also a good thing.
I do have some
BFG miniatures, but I obviously need help of guys who own the ones I don't. So I ask you to measure and post lengths of miniatures listed below, if it is not too much trouble. And if you can google some photos of miniatures next to a ruler, that would also be useful. So here is the list of all
BFG ships known to me and my progress on determining their size so far:
