they are all 1:5000 scale so not high detail but you could do some very large battles on a 6x4 table |

I'd like to see these printed. I like marcusmole's selection but since I usually play at 1:2400 I find the lack of detail concerning. Like they wouldn't look good next to something from WTJ or GHQ. |

when I eventually get round to them I will post them up here (I have loads of stuff to do already) as you say there isn't a massive amount of detail but they wont be expensive and will print quickly around 30 mins per print so I can be set up very quickly |

Hmm,I use 1/6000 wonder how those would work or if I could scale them to fit? |

Charles, the great thing about 3d printing is you can scale it to whatever fits on your print bed. I've printed Ghukek minis that he designed for 1/1800 at 1/2400 and there's really no problem. If anything scaling down makes the lack of detail less of a problem if they're on the table with another manufacturer's stuff. |

@Charles yes you can just scale them on a 3d printer by 83.33% and you will get 1:6000 |
