Title: Car size for 35mm miniatures?
Post by: Munindk on March 19, 2019, 10:28:38 AM

I've got Monoliths Batman game comming and since I'll be using the miniatures for SMF and similar games, I need to get some terrain sorted.

Specifically I need some cars. My searches suggest that people use 1:48 or 1:43 scale cars for Knight Models Batman game, which is also 35mm.

What do the superhero gamers of LAF prefer?

Either work.  1/43 is easier to find since it's a common scale for toys.

With the miniatures on a base I prefer 1/43 (as yes, it's also easier to source them) - but a few 1/48 is not going to look weird.

There are the cars in the Mantic The Walking Dead scenery set (which may be on sale this month).

Those are TWD figures.

They roughly scale out as 1/43.

This is a 1/43 scale die cast Beetle (and a 1/56 one from Company B).

Another 28mm scale figure for scale.

I will see if I can photograph them with some Knight Models figures.

Thanks for the advice :)

Looks like there's several 1:43 cars and trucks available for cheap from China.

I have been looking at those Mantic cars, but I wasnt sure about the scale. If they're around 1:43 I'll definitely pick them up. As I'm in no rush, I'll keep a look out for a sale :)

Thank you very much, that settles it for me :)

If you're feeling cheeky, you can ask Mantic for a sales comission :p
