What smaller scale for VSF do you prefer?
« on: March 17, 2024, 08:45:28 PM »
Just out of curiosity, what size/scale figures do you prefer for VSF gaming?

Only four options I'm afraid although I do recognise there are other scale options out there  :)
cheers

Thanks for restricting my choices! It made a choice possible...  8)

Edit: I will add a bit in light of other 's comments.

I said 15mm, though have 18mm mixed in. Ranges have enough slack to abide, in most cases.

I voted for 18 mm - and I'd want figures that would be useful in Pulp as well, actually prefer - but sometimes we take what we can get.

I went for 2mm, to suit the machinery and buildings available from Brigade Models, with men, horses and guns from Irregular. Limited to The War of the Worlds and (some of) its modern sequels.

I am just a big fan of 54mm as i am of 2mm.  I’ll play either. WtF, let’s play 70mm.

I have mine in 15mm.
Commonality with my other ranges. Sharing what scenery I have.
I even have a few flyers in 15mm.

As always, depends  ;D

15 feels about right for those close in "redcoats on adventure" kind of situations, but 6mm fits the madness and scale of Albert Robida type machines so nicely.

I would choose 15mm, but largely as a "poor man's" 28mm. I'd love to see Copplestone VEG Barsoom. I even looked at try to repurpose the Barbarica range, but that was ever going to work. I'd like to do games where players could fight between flyers/boarding actions and earth born players could leap between ships (although maybe not to the extent seen in the movie). Alas, none of the 15mm figures out there have met my hopes/expectations for this genre.

I voted 18mm but that is because I produce a full range of 18mm VSF in Martian Empires  (still available from Fighting15s)...

I opted for 15mm, as that was the size I used for Barsoom skirmishes for a long time (since sold/traded away) even though a lot of the individual pieces were 28mm repurposed or converted.

Given a wider option of answers I would pick 1/1200th as Sky Galleons of Mars is now my only VSF collection.
