Does anyone have (or know of) comparison pictures of GZG's walkers, Reapers redone CAV, and IWM Battletech minis (and/or any mech/mecha that are compatible in scale with IWM BT mechs)? I'd like to know which ranges are scale compatible. |

I don't know of any comparison pictures, but I know that the sculpts now produced by reaper and formerly sold by Talon games were sculpted with BT compatibility in mind. You can find them in the reaper store by putting the sculptor's name "Chris Lewis" into the search engine engine.

Certain of the smaller CAV mechs could also be compatible with BT, but in general the smaller CAVs are going to be similar to the size of the largest BT mechs. As for "others" the EM4 plastic mechs are perfectly sized and easy to customize and at a bit over a buck each, they price is right.

EM4 also sells plastic 30mm recessed hex bases at a good price.

Just to chime in, the hex bases are very nice for hex based wargaming. Nearly all of my BT minis are mounted on them. Great stability and no doubt facing. |

You've just given me reason to wash some of them off for a photo shoot. [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/arhes/media/IMG_0319_zps3b9b62f7.jpg.html]
[/URL] Yes, the GZG 6mm walkers are in front with some Heavy Gear fleet scale. You can see how big the IWM or Ral Partha BT mechs are. The 144 scale Heavy Gear to the side with some Jovian Chronicles and Coyote Tango in the back. |

I haven't any GZG or newer CAV, but I have one of the Talon CAVs, some Iron Wind and some Mechwarrior:
