Wish they hadn't chosen 1/43rd scale, can't use it with any other scale figures. That's deliberate, beats me why, though. |

People keep insisting that it "looks right", whatever that doesn't mean.They base a figure which, in fact, is a bit deformed anyway, and suddenly they cannot imagine the figure on a kerb next to a vehicle, they just think it's grown a scale foot taller and needs a vehicle that blocks two lanes to be believeable.
Not everyone uses GW Orkses for PA figures, though. |

Presumably because 1:43 scale is a standard die-cast car scale, and has been for over 50 years. The question really should be why war games manufacturers of these skirmish type figures don't make them to the same scale as easily available accessories. |

Well, the other standard die-cast car scale created largely by Matchbox is technically 1:64 scale, but vehicles range between that and 1:100 scale. They generally equate to 20mm for miniatures and accessories and HO scale for terrain. At least two game lines exist for this scale, Stan Johansen miniatures' "Road warriors" line ( link ) and the OOP Dark Futures game from Games Workshop. That makes more sense to me given the flexibility of HO/20mm scale stuff. 1/43rd, guess it fits their audience idea and it does ensure if you get into that game that the only place you can buy any accessories or figures for the game is from them. |

Unless they actually make 1/43 scale figures, I don't see any logic to that, given how needlessly huge many light vehicles from Ramshackle Games are. |

so will these look out of place with Zombicide mini's? |

goes beyond the straight line.
