i will soon start a WWII project.
Planning to play it with 20mm scale i am thinking about Warmodelling miniatures to build forces.
Just would like to know if someone could give me informations about others manufacturers ranges that could be compatible with Warmodelling miniatures ?
Also would like to know which vehicles range offers the better match for scale with these miniatures ? |

Never heard of Warmodelling before. I presume you mean these:
link They say they are 1/72, so they should be compatible with most other 20mm figures and models. Generally speaking wargamers who use 20mm are not too picky about exact scale. Hmm … on a different note, these seem incredibly expensive for 20mm figures. £17.14 GBP for 21 figures? That's 80p each. I would expect to pay about 50p a figure for metal 20mm figures, a lot less for plastic. On the whole plastic figures for this period ( link ) are better since there is a vast range and the sculpting and proportions are better than most metals. |

The late war Germans, British, and G.I.s fit well with AB. I use all of these together |

I am using Warmodelling Japanese with Eureka Miniatures WW2 Pacific range an they fit in fairly well. |

Warmodelling used to be known as Fantassin. |

I use them with AB, Britannia and SHQ. They all work well together. |

IMHO they did not go well with the SHQ range which I'd call a little smaller. I've only assembled some 150 Russians so far and they are a combination of Warmodeling, Battelfield, Friend or Foe (those bases will be cut off for sure!), and FAA. All those ranges went well together as far as their Russian figures. |

Mike, Metal is Metal, you can not compare it with plastic. Of course plastic is always cheaper, but it is nog the same to play wargames… Warmodelling is a good option. |

"but it is nog the same to play wargames" Interesting comment, didn't know moving around a figure made of metal would make a wargame any more fun (or different) than moving around a figure made of plastic. Never heard that one before. A figure is a figure and there is absolutely no difference using one over the other in a game. I'd feel bad for a person that worried more about what the figures were made of than actually playing and enjoying the game. |
