On the other hand, Games Workshop’s Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game is straight up 28mm non-heroic, which makes them noticeably smaller than other Warhammer miniatures. (This is likely due to the fact that Necromunda characters are regular old humans.) I’d say that Necromunda scale is slightly larger than 28mm heroic, but I’d be hard pressed to say they’re 32mm. For example, Necromunda characters will very often be much smaller than the average Warhammer 40k soldier. Other Games Workshop games are often smaller than their Warhammer counterparts. What is the Scale of Other Games Workshop Games? The Cities of Sigmar (regular humans) are probably 28mm, because most of the sculpts are recycled from Warhammer Fantasy, and the new poster boys in every core box–the Stormcast Eternals–are firmly 35mm. Any given miniature figure may be smaller or larger than that, and I truly don’t know who is actually 32mm. Both games follow the same size conventions where some models will be smaller and some will be bigger, but I believe that Age of Sigmar scale is considered 32mm heroic.

What is the Age of Sigmar Scale of Miniatures?Īge of Sigmar is much the same as Warhammer 40k. What are now considered Firstborn Marines are squarely in the 28mm to 32mm heroid, and Primaris Marines are at least 35mm. The Space Marines are the poster boys of this because, if you find some classic Space Marines (from 3rd Edition or so) then they’ll be very close to 25mm.

Generally speaking, we can consider Warhammer 40k to be 32mm heroic scale, and the debate between 28mm vs 32 mm miniatures is really something of the past, as Warhammer models used to be much smaller and have grown consistently in size (with no end in sight). It really only comes into play when you’re talking about Imperial Guard (regular humans) but even there a 28mm Imperial Guard model would look very out of place standing in a unit of 28mm Warlord WW2 miniatures. Space Marines are seven feet tall (without power armor) and Primaris Marines are even taller than that. Technically, Warhammer models range somewhere between 28mm and 32mm, but in practice that means very little.
