This is my last question on this for a while.

Has anyone used Battlelore as is with other scales (20mm or 28mm)?

Has anyone tried it using some of the better 10-12mm figures like Kallestra, and the other ones (One is in Italy and I cannot think of the other one). Help?

I have with Kallistra 100mm hexes – very cool indeed. :)
I have also played in 18mm and 28mm scale. The system plays well with all scales. :)

Sure, why not?

Yes, in 28. Scale is largely irrelevant except in terms of hex size.

6mm looks nice with a fair number of guys per "block" but it can be harder to tell unit types apart..

5 inch hexes with 28mm figures.

I am very tempted to buy the game for the rules and then get the larger scale minis, probably 28mm. Are there high quality 18-20mm HYW figures out there?

I have the Kallestra hexes so I am set there.

Who makes the best 10mm HYW is it Magister Militum?

Look no further than Kallistra:

Very nice indeed!

Any insubordinate comments for the Major?

The Kallistra hexes are 4 inches across. Would 28mm fit?

Interesting post. I have been considering using the wide range of excellent plastics available including Perry WOTR, mixed with my GW dwarfs and goblins. I think Kallistra hexes can work (and are useful to create special terrain), but I prefer my Hotz mat with 5 inch hexes.

you could get 10 28mm figures in a Kallistra hex in 2 ranks of 5.

I used to do it with 5" hexs and 90mm schleich figures.
