"Do you collect the same army in more than one scale?" Topic

Do you have the same army, in the same period, in more than one scale (for example 12mm for big battles and 54mm for the skirmish games)? If so, what scales and what periods?

I have AWI figures baed for regimental games, 3 on a 2" x 1" basswood base, and for skirmish games, mounted on washers.
However, both are are 25/28mm.

I think that counrs.

Yes. 15mm and 28mm ACW, ECW and Renaissance Italian Wars.

28mm and 54mm prehistoric, though I'm thinking of selling off the 28s.

Yes. I've got Rogue Trader armies in 28mm and 6mm (epic)… and space ship for the same forces as well.
I've got 6mm versions of some of my fantasy forces.

At one time I had a 15mm Byzantine and all my 25mm Byz. I sold the 15mm one. Right now I have a 10mm Mid Republican Roman and a 15mm Late Imperial one. The 10mm was part of a trade, and is up for sale.

Colonial in 15 and 25, mostly for TSATF. Also both sizes in Nappys I have SciFi in both sizes, too, depending on the shinyness

10mm and 28mm ECW.

1/900th scale and 1/2400th scale Nappy naval stuff.

6mm and 28mm Eldar. 6mm and 28mm Space Mariens. 6mm and 28mm tyranids.

10mm and 28mm Chaos. 10mm and 28mm Ogre Kingdoms. 10mm and 28mm Empire.

Inquisitorial warbands in 28mm and 54mm.

Aliens colonial marines in 15mm and 28mm.

Yes. Great Italian Wars in 25 and 15. One day I may do it in 6mm or 10mm as well.

Ohhh yes………

I have French & Indian war figures in 25mm for "big battle" games but I am seriously thinking of getting 40mm F&I war figures for skirmish gaming. it would be nice to paint something big (I mostly do 15mm)for a change!

Yep, Samurai, 10,15, 28mm, thinking about 20mm. WW2, 10, 20, 28mm (Russian, Germans, British and Americans), WW1planes, 1/300 and 1/72. Star Wars 1/144 and 20mm. AWI 28mm and 20mm.

FPW in 28 and 6mm :

WWII in 6 and 20mm:

ECW/TYW and Italian Wars in 15 and 28mm

Tally Ho!

Napoleonics in 6mm & 15mm (and struggling not to buy 28mm for skirmish)
ACW in 10mm & 28mm
WWII in 15mm, 20mm, & 28mm (recently got rid of my 1:200)

Oh yes, ww2 British & Germans in 6mm, 15mm, 20mm and 54mm…. The US and Soviets are only in two scales.

I've even got the same units in three different scales.

WW1 in 6mm, 15mm and 20mm, differentiated by theatre and period.

Moderns in 2mm, 6mm and 15mm (1970s/80s Brits in all three).

Excluding air and naval assets of course. They add a few more scales.

TYW in 2mm (Swedish, Saxon, Imperialist, Leaguist, more to come) and 10mm (in progress but will cover some of same). If I ever get through painting all I can see expanding to 15mm and possibly 28mm for some of these armies.

Moderns in 1:600 and 28mm. These are both imagi-nations. I also have 1:285 Moderns but not the same armies.

Sasanians in 6mm, 15mm, and 28mm… But I may be a bit obsessive…

I also have modern day Americans in 6mm & 20mm

ECW 10mm, 15mm and 28mm

I think any comprehensive collection must have a variety of scales in it. I pick what I think is the right scale for the project (so frequently end up duplicating components I already have in an existing set) …

I have 15th Century Medievals in 15mm, 20mm, 54mm and 90mm – the former, of course, for regular 'battle' games, and the latter for skirmish style Participation Games. The 54s are work in progress for a new DBA presentation.

I have overlapping ancients collections in 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 28mm and 30mm flats – 10mm is the best scale for ancient battles, 15mm is the most common, 20mm is the most econmic and 30mm flats are the most eye-catching.

WW2 I have Eastern Front stuff in 20mm and 15mm. 20mm is too big in most cases (but didn't we all start there …?)..

I have Gladiators in 15mm, 20mm, 54mm, 90mm and 1:12 action figures. The former are in my Slave Revolt army and in a 'travelling Gladiolus' set, the latter are for playing the game at shows.

Greetings

Generally where the forces are used for different types of games.

WW2: 20mm (for 1:1 platoon actions), 15mm (for 1:1 company actions and 1:3 battalion actions), 10mm (for 1:5 brigade actions).

WW1: 20mm (samples so far), 10mm and 6mm but for different armies/theatres.

Napoleonic: 28mm (skirmish), 15mm, 6mm (large battles)

ECW: 28mm (skirmish +), 6mm

A few others tested in different scales. Many of the above in progress rather than finished.

Regards

Edward

I have ACW in 25s and 54s and I'm thinking about 6s.

SYW French in both 10mm and 15mm. The 15's are an older group for Koenig Krieg while the 10's are newer and intended for Horse, Foot and Guns.

Yes. 15mm and 28mm. Many of my Ancients and Medieval armies are in both scales.

Yes

have late feudals in 6mm, 20mm, 25mm.

totally batty !

AWI in 6mm, 15mm and 40mm. Moderns in 3mm and 15mm. Eldar in 6mm and 28mm. Wild Elves in 15mm and 28mm. Gladiators in 15mm, 28mm and 54mm. WWI in 15mm and 28mm, and 1:6000. Arthurian Britain in 10mm, 15mm and 28mm. Late Bronze Age in 6mm, 15mm, and 28mm.

So I guess that is a "yes" from me.

At one point I had WW2 in 6mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, and 54mm. I gave away the 6mm stuff in the end.

Does not everyone?

Ancients (Punic) 6mm, 10mm, 20mm-1-72nd scale, 15mm, 25mm

Napoleonics 15mm, 20mm, 25mm

ACW 6mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 1/72nd scale, 25mm, 40mm

You get the idea.

Yes

We had Napoleonics in two sizes, 15mm and 25/28, and we own WWII in three sizes, 1/285, 15mm, and 20mm, plus some odds and ends 28mm figures for large size skirmish

Yes napoleonic french in 15mm (1813-1815) and 28mm pre1812

Russian Napoleonics in 6mm, 15mm and just started in 28 mm. The 6 mm date from when I belonged to a group which did "big battles" at a 1=20 ratio- that's a lot of figures if you are doing Lepizig! 15mm are for regular gaming and 28mm because I just love the figures.

No.

I have ACW/Plains Wars in 15, 22, 28, and a few 40s.

I have some WW2s in 28 and am debating about getting some 15s as well.

I have, but not anymore.

Early Imperial Romans
6mm (Goal of 5k figures)
15mm (DBx Army)
25mm (DBx Army in development, am considering selling.)
54mm (Collector toy soldiers.)

Republic of Texas VSF
6mm (starting this for large scale battles with aeronefs.)
15mm Army for HotT mod HotE
15mm Skirmish Force for FUBAR-VSF

Fantasy in 15mm, 1/72, and 25mm, mass battles and skirmishes.

Sci-Fi in 6mm, 15mm and 25mm all skirmishes, all FUBAR and FUBAR-40K.

Unfortunately, yes.
WWII land in 15mm and 1/285.
SYW in 15mm and 25/28mm.
Napoleonics in 15mm and 1/72nd.
WWII air in 1/144 and 1/300.
Sailing ships in 1/1200 and 28mm.
WWII naval in 1/2400 and 1/600.
Sigh….

Yes I do:

Wars of the Roses in 6mm and 28mm.
ACW both CSA and USA armies in 6mm, 10mm and 15mm.
Colonials in 6mm and 15mm.
WW2 Germans and Russians in 3mm and 28mm.

6 mm and 15 mm WW2
15m and 28mm Napoleonics
15mm and 28mm ACW

Kind of. I am a primarily 28mm gamer, so msot of my stuff is in 28mm. I have a few sets of scifi stuff in 15mm and 6mm that parallels some of my 28mm stuff, so I guess that would count.

No! That way madness lies.

I can kinda see the argument in collecting the same period but different game concepts [e.g. skirmish Vs mass battle] but it is something I tend not to do.

No, all my minis are 25/32mm in scale and get used together (or not)!

ACW in 15mm & 10mm

Try not to. But it keeps happening :P
