Magister Militum have some buildings on their website which look perfect for a 20mm project I have in mind. The problem is that they they are listed as 15mm/20mm… Now, bearing in mind they have lift off roofs to place figures inside, if I'm using 20mm figures and they are really 15mm then they'll only be 3/4 of the size they need to be – which is quite a difference! link Has anyone bought any of these buildings? And if so are you able to advise? Some photos of painted examples would be nice too – I imagine they'll paint up quite well. Ta, Nick |

I just bought that very first one pictured. A 15mm FOW infantryman is the same height as the door opening. They work well for 15mmm but wouldn't for 20mm. The second floor (removable floor) is pretty thick, so if you base the figures on the standard FOW base, the roof touches their head when you put the upper floor on. It's more of a problem that the floor is very thick rather than being too small. |

Brilliant Landlorl – just what I needed to know, thank you. It's a pity (for me, but not for you!) as they do look very good. |
