Does anyone happen to have a photo of a Willy Imperial Halfling next to a GW Human for scale comparison? :)

Don't happen to recall where that photo might be, do you? :D

Just trying to determine the size of them. :)

It was somewhere here on TFF, but it was a while back, so I have no idea which thread it was.

Ah, ninjad. And you said imperial rather than ultimate. Oh well.

I think the Imperial and Ultimate are pretty much the same scale.. also the ultimate ones vary a bit in size as well. They are on average a head higher than a 28mm halfling "should" be. Fluff-wise I just say mine (ultimate) are a bit of a larger breed of halfling :)

Apologies for hijacking the thread. :oops:

What's the general size of the Willy Miniatures teams compared the original GW teams (let's say 3rd edition)?
I couldn't find any pictures comparing sizes.

Generally, they're larger than the GW equivalents. They work on a 30mm scale compared to GW's 28mm.

That said, they seem to be producing more 28mm lately. Their last team (Chaos Dwarfs) matches GW size really well, and their current campaign (Nurgle) also states they'll be 28mm.

Thanks for the info! That's not too much of a difference to bother me.
Plan to get Goblins and Necro from WM after the the current Nurgle campaign.

Just seen that according to rumours the new GW BB stuff might turn out to be even larger. :-)

scale creep makes me cry, for example WM Griff is an awesome sculpt but he's nearly the size of GW Morg so its a waste owning it, it will look ridiculously out of place with my own team, nevermind the opposition

i understand GW has gotten bigger but i need at least the same scale across my whole team and WM dont do humans outside of some stars
