As the title says I need help finding a good replacement for GW Sentinels. I bought 6 of the mechs that Raging Heroes had in their first kickstarter but those models just don't work at all. They are too short so I tried using Sentinel legs which I made work but it still doesn't look good. So now I'm looking for good alternatives.

Best I've found so far are from Dust Tactics, the Ludwig and Heinrich, problem is I have no idea what size those minis are and I've found no info on height or a pic of one next to a Sentinel. I'm wondering if anyone has one of these models and could provide the size measurements. I'd love a pic of a GW Sentinel next to these 2 models. I'd rather know if they are even eligible choices before I spend $60 to order both just to have a look at them. Any other german WW2 sentinel proxy recommendations are also appreciated.

I don't have/haven't measured either one, but if it's a 1:48 scale model you should be able to approximate by assuming the fellow in the cockpit of the bottom one is about the size of a Guardsman (which would make the vehicle a bit bigger than a Sentinel, but not by a lot).

I don't have my dust tactics stuff anymore but the Ludwig is roughly similar in size to a sentinel but chunkier.

I found these. The models seem too big to me. Shame, would really have liked to use the Ludwig but it's almost 2x the size of a normal dread.

Wow... too big? I'd say they're pretty darn close.

Ludwig is the one next to the dread and it would be allot bigger than a Sentinel. The top is a light walker from Dust, problem is I've found no place that still sells them and it's not the Pablo Heinrich design I posted in the first post.

The american walkers from Dust are a bit closer in size to the imperium walker. I think the "Honey" is the closest looking.

Also, there are the original inspirations - the AT-ST (and AT-RT from clone wars) from Star Wars; it might be possible to pick up a Star Wars miniature version, one from Imperial Assault and I think Revell may still produce it as a model kit.

Are you able to order from Miniature Market? They have the light walker for sale on their site...

Yes, I can order from miniature market but I'd like to see a picture for size comparison before I do so.
Found a site that sells the medium walker for $8 each (postage is pretty bad though) but if it's 2x the size of a dread it wont work at all.
