Am I the only one to use Dystopian Legion figures?
« on: 29 October 2013, 04:07:45 PM »
I just picked up a bunch of Dystopian Legion figures on clearance at Miniatures Market.  Am I the only one to use them for IHMN?
I know that they are a little tall for 28mm but they are great figures.

Regards

I use some of the tech but the figures are way too tall and I don't like most of them.
So many projects..... so little time.......

Agreed I really like the tech...especially the tanks and other armored vehicles.

the vehicles are nice, but I don't find most of them convincing
3D sculpting works fine for vehicles, but miniatures?...
not so sure

I don't like them either, and, they are way too pricey in the wargaming section for my taste

the size wouldn't be an issue...

i will use a lot of figs from various manufacturers , from Artizan to Wargames foundry  but no Dystopian Legion figures .

Those babies look quite nice to me, but they're absolutely enormous - around 35mm scale (foot to eye!). They're completely unuseable with any 28mm scale models, in the same way that 28mm's are unuseable with 20mm scale models.

Unless you come up with some reason for them to be outsized. Human growth hormone, or some other special serum that has produced a band of giants. Throw in a few regular 28s and there you go. lol lol lol

I really  wish DL had gone with 28MM some of their line is amazing, some not so much but as it stands they a useless with most of my figure collection and I have no interest in stuff I can't use with my entire collection.

I do have some Dystopian Prussians which would probably fit in with the Society of Thule, since they appear to experiment with human bodies! As I recall from my schooldays did not Frederick the Great select his Grenadiers from the largest men in the country? I'm sure Dr Kobalt wouldn't be above mixing in a few additives to the sausage meat ration!

Yeah, but I'd have to suggest a few Rondo Hatton head swaps...  lol

Did not one of the Prussian Frederick's have a regiment of 'giants'. Men chosen because they were over 6 feet in height?

I got myself the Dystopian Legions female Prussian officer, hoping to use her with my other minis, only to discover she was a towering giant when compared to them!  :o

It's a damned shame, I really like the look of their range but they've outgrown their usefulness to me.

I really have no idea what I'm doing.
