Re: SG: Warzone & WH40K figs

I use GW and other 28mm stuff for the bulk of my forces for SG.  The
only 
"True 25mm" stuff I have is some old Grenadier/Ral Partha stuff from the

late 70s.  Heck the Grenadier figs are almost just as big as my GW stuff

(!).  I do have some Star Wars storm troopers but and they look a bit
small, 
but painted in white as they are, they don't look too small (IMHO).

Frankly, I prefer the larger 28mm scale figures.  It just seems to me
you 
can get a lot more detail in the figure.  I would drop to 15mm long
before I 
consider going into "true 25mm".

Just my two cents.

Also, as far as I know the Warzone line is still alive and can be bought
on 
the web at http://www.amazonfantasy.com  The last I heard the Warzone
rules 
were in late "play test" for a new edition.

One of these days I will do a trencher force with some of the Bauhaus 
mounted hussars for support.  But, right now I have my eyes on a set of 
Vulkan Battlesuits to convert into "Space Dwarf Battle Suits".
