Turner Miniatures just launched their WWII early war kickstarter. My try at printing and painting some of the sample miniatures. Printing was done with no scaling at all. On the left is a base of GHQ 6 mm miniatures, on the right a base of the printed miniatures, all Germans.

Are they 10/12mm then?

Scheremetjev Supporting Member of TMP27 Sep 2024 1:00 p.m. PST

You print them, you decide the scale! :)
Out of the "box" they are 7mm, foot to eye.

Scheremetjev Supporting Member of TMP27 Sep 2024 1:04 p.m. PST

Oh, and the intended range of scales to print is 6 to 15mm.

Very nice. I'm guessing you could print them slightly smaller to get an exact match with the GHQ? Also apparently it is important to use a strong resin.

You can certainly get a better match. I plan to use figures from the vehicle crew add-on for my GHQ vehicles. Those will have to be scaled down even more to fit well.

And another review: link

Goonhammer goes a bit into the Blender options of the kickstarter (conversion time, LEGO style).

The Kickstarter is entering its final hours. A little more backing and all the bits for the French 1940 army are funded – infantry, colonials, cavalry, motorcyclists and motorized troops, vehicle crews and passengers – at least as Blender files.

The Fallschirmjäger, Polish and Belgian stretch goals unfortunately seem to be out of reach.

I really wanted the Belgians, but at least I get the bits needed for modeling a French DLC as opponents for my 6mm Germans.

Not a fan of his stuff. I spent a lot of money on his &YW stuff and it isn't very good.
