So, I'm starting a 28mm-30mm army of Stormtroopers. My idea is to use it to play with whatever 28mm rulest my local gaming club folks are into at any given time (40k, Dust, etc). The At-At would make a good heavy tank, and there are lots of options on e-bay. What company makes the best model for this scale? |

The big, full-sized, $100 USD one, meant for play with the larger 3 & 3/4" Action Figs, in my opinion. |

Do you mean this one:
Or this one?
Those are both on the U$80.00 – U$120.00 range. |

I suspect any of them would be just too big for a 28mm game table, wouldn't they? |

The second one is the one Mako11 is suggesting. The first one is made to go with the plastic SW figs, but then again WOTC's attention to scale was sometimes lacking. However, that first one would fit better on the tabletop. The Kenner model is a brute. |

We used both the "Action figure" model and the "10mm model" in a memorable GASLIGHT game.
The smaller one was a wee ankle bighter, tricked out as a Spar Toropedo Uhlan. It blew out the knee of the bigger one, which promptly collapsed on top of the wee one.  It was NOT a Star Wars game, though. |

Actually, the one I was thinking about is the larger one, to go with their action figures. Seems perfect to me, based upon scenes from the movie, to go with the 32mm figs. The foot of the walker can stomp an entire Snow-speeder, so should be really large when compared to the figures on the table. Of course, your gonna need a large table to use them, but that's the beauty of the assault on Hoth. |

I actually have one of the starwars minis ones i'd trade for some 28mm moderns… my user name on google's mail service |

Mako I convinced my wife to let me buy one for my grandson it was the starwars heroes AT-AT for $50 USD(I think).
I took a few pics if your interested to see the scale differences.
And it should be large enough to be stompy to any speeders. |

I have four here with me and six in storage of the Star Wars Miniatures line. I can put five on line on a six by twelve foot table and still have room for 18 snowspeeders. I use the 20mm (approx) from Galoob. I use the 25/28mm Star Wars Miniatures with them and yes the table is busy but it plays fine. I have access to others in different sizes that I can use but those from the game work best.

If you assume the AT-AT is ~22.5 meters tall then:
The WotC AT-AT actually comes very close to being to scale with 28-30mm miniatures, its ~1:67.
The 24" tall Hasbro 'mega' AT-AT is way to tall, it's ~1:37. |
