According to wikipedia, GW models are somewhat big 1/72, around 1/65
From my childhood memories of modelling those 1/72 tanks, they seemed way smaller than GW products
So would 1/36 be closer ? Maybe too big .... was thinking about 1/48 but that's a category without much to pick from
What are your experiences with those scale along GW models ?

My idea is to grab artillery guns (carraiges, not on a tank chassis) to complete my Krieg army without having to spend 70 pounds for a single basilisk carriage, have nice 75/88mm Pak guns instead of ugly Rapier destroyers and so on

This is a good reado n the subject:

Answers quite a lot of my questions, thanks

The "heroic" part of GW miniatures is indeed quite disturbing when compared to real life vehicles and weapons (that LRBT cannon must be around 50cm in diameter ...)
