X-WING usefull figures?

[Mick_in_Switzerland]

Here is my progress so far.  I have collected and compared various Micro Machines and Titanium Series models and found some that fit in with the X-Wing Game and Pendraken figures.  I have now started to modify Pendraken figures to give me important characters.

Star Wars X-Wing and Tie Fighter of X-Wing Bases, Pendraken 10mm figures and conversions to make characters, , Star Wars Titanium AT-AT and First Order Transporter, Star Wars Micro Machines AT ST, X-Wing and Tie Fighter

Regarding figures, I've got these contemporary civilians from an architectural modelling supplier



They're 1:200 and measure 9-10mm tall though the adult male shown looks like he'd fit in the A Wing cockpit. More than anything I like, compared to wargames minis, the relative slimness. I haven't actually used them yet so it could still all go horribly wrong. Btw, they make wargames minis look cheap!

There are cheaper ones, but these have a placement peg that I'm guessing will make fitting them a lot, lot easier!

Steve and Mick, first of all any thanks for the comparative photos.
Mick, some of the micromachines will certainly do to mix with X-Wing stuff. About the Pendraken miniatures they seem big for the x-wing ships but they certainly are good for land battles.

Steve, this might sound strange but the miniatures look good in some fighters and in others they look too big. What do you guys thing of this?

[Silent Invader]

I think that for some of them are way too big!

Just to clarify, I'm not planning land battles as such, so I don't need troops just odd bodies to put into little fixed scenes (such as maintenance, or flight control). I can therefore 'hide' the bigger figures in the background or just not use them, which makes these packs very expensive. 

My first look-see was with the bigger cockpit ships but now, against a wider selection, I am distinctly less positive. This isn't therefore a recommendation, just info.

I want to do some skirmish games with combined forces of ships, walkers and land troops.

So far, I have collected the following

Official X-Wing size – I am told they are about 1/300 scale
Two starter sets, Millennium Falcon, Slave 1, Shuttle, plus some extra small ships.  Also five similar sized X-Wings and Tie fighters from Micro Machines and three similar sized X-Wings from the Ertl /MPC 1990s Rebel Base set.

10mm figures = circa 1/175
This is the main ground force.  I think look these OK with the X-Wing Ships and are still useful as a wargame scale.  I have 100 Pendraken figures that give me about 30 Rebels, 30 Stormtroopers and with some work many character figures.  I also have about 40 figures from the Ertl /MPC 1990s Rebel Base set.  I have two First Order Transports, two AT-ST, an AT-AT walker, two (or three if I am flexible) snow speeder, an AT-TE walker and Republic Gunship which work with the figures.

22mm figures = circa 1/80
Seven Micro Machines Speeders and a few figures.  I will use some of these to game the Speeder chase in Return of the Jedi.

28mm figures = circa 1/60
Various vehicles and figures from the 1990s Star Wars Action Fleets sets, that belong to my sons.  I have not used these yet but have my eye on them.

Small Scale – assorted scales
Various ships from Micro Machines including Shuttle, First Order Transporter, AT-AT.  These will probably be converted into wreckage as scenery.

Steve, i might try the 1/250 scale figures and yes i want the same thing as you. Just some scenario with some figures on it.

Mick, quite a collection and very tempting. I must resist the dark side.
