I always like to refer to Andy Cowell's page since it has a nice picture showing the popular scales: <http://www.cowell.org/~andy/min/scale.html>. I don't think that Kra'vak would look good against GW figures (at least from this example). Since they're aliens one could probably get away with it, maybe. So even outside human-vs-human comparisons, some aliens or monsters are just supposed to be bigger. For example, I've run into scale problems when the old D&D troll no longer looks imposing when facing a Reaper hero that is as big or bigger. -- JF _______________________________________________ Gzg-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://vermouth.csua.berkeley.edu:1337/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gzg-l --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ground Zero Games" group.
