Hello,

Could anyone tell me how big the models are? From what I can find it's around 3cm for a figure but I'm looking more for dimensions of the vehicles such as a predator tank or dreadnought.

Thanks in advance!

The scale is, IIRC, from the ground to their eyes. So, 28mm is roughly 30mm to the head. Add a bit more for GW models, though. They are 'Heroic scale', or some-such.

Have a look through the gallery. Lots of people do comparisons.

I have done a few, for buildings in this case:

Talking of cases, carry-case companies make custom cases for certain models, and you can see the size of the models by looking at them:

There are also video clips showing people painting the models. You can work out the sizes as they handle them in the vids.

Not sure where in the UK you are based Bertie but most towns in the UK have a Games Workshop store.
Try and make your way to one as they tend to have plenty on display in the cabinets.
