Title: Bad Squiddo/Necromunda compatibility
Post by: vodkafan on 23 December 2017, 03:58:26 PM

I noticed the similarity of the Bad Squiddo Ghosts of Gaia figures with the new Necromunda Eschers. Will they fit together sizewise?
I prefer a SF colony world sort of setting rather than Post Apoc. I feel a small project coming on.

I have a few Ghosts of Giaa, and a couple of now unused (GW screwing and dumping customers, crap rules) 40k armies containing the odd Escher figure. I would say that they are entirely compatible size wise, although I lack the photographic skill to show you.

I have some of the Gaia figures, and some new Escher (unbuilt). I can try to get one assembled and take a pic next to each other.

That's very kind of you Dr Mathias!

Hello,
Apologies for taking so long to get to this. Holiday travel, plus the seemingly annual out-of-town December funeral. The naive idealist in me thought I might have at least one gang of the Newcromunda painted by now ;)

Hope that helps some, the biggest variation in the Bad Squiddo Ghosts range is the hair height, which fits well with the crazy Escher hair overall. Forgive the missing arms on the Raging Heroes mini, she was more multi part than I wanted to take on at the moment ;)

Facinating!  I'd never heard of these figures but they look quite good for vintage necromunda.

Also, based on these pictures, it appears that the height difference between the old metal Eshers and the new plastic ones is not as great as I had originally feared. They just appeared positively huge in other pictures (damn scale creep), but I might now be interested in the plastics after all...

I mix figure manufacturers quite a bit. The two things I tend to look at are head size and body proportion, overall height discrepancy  isn't a big concern to me really.

Keep in mind that the new Escher is a slight tilt, so would be slightly taller upright- but I too was surprised that they were that close.

Thanks Doctor Mathias, no problems with any of those going together at all. Very kind of you to do up a photo.
