A warning, perhaps? Isn't Grimes Orkshop doing a 54mm skirmish game,
Inquisitor or somesuch, due out soon? If they charge the same for these

actually be worth the price ;-)
Wonder if their 54mm's will be 62mm tall?

Some years ago I read a joke about WH40K, n:th ed., to come in 2016,using 74mm
action figures. It is good to see them working towards that goal.

Yes, so of course they won't. I heard around US $10 a figure. NOT interested.
Although, I've been putting together some plastic moderns, and am really
pining for some nice metal figures. Of course, doing some GZG universe
conversions crossed my mind...

Heh. What I don't get is why they don't *shrink* the figures, or have

ROFLOL!

Henrix, your such a hoot. Same price as the 30mm figures...

Inquisitor Rule Book....... $39.99 54mm figures..... $19.99 to $24.99

I think I'll pass on this one.

Andy, They have 30mm figures at $12.99 why would they sell the 54mm figures
for less? The 54mm preorder price is $19.99 to $24.99 for 1 figure.

I agree with you Andy, not for me.

Good lord! You can get Dragon 1/12 scale moderns (that would be, what,
about 300mm) for US$30 to US$45 each.

I can't see paying almost as much for a single 54mm figure unless it was
painted. Or expertly crafted (I have seen expensive pewter and even plastic
figures in this price range, but these are high quality historical models).

Allan,

No these are just Games Workshop. They know the Fanboy base will

buy at least a couple each :-)

I've had a hard time finding any decent pictures or catalogs of either
them or Tamiya.  Do a search for "Dragon 1/35 elite" and you'll turn

yeah, 10000+ on google, not one pic on the first links I checked.

Ah, well, found some box covers, but I'd love to see a comparison between
them an´g 25/28mm just for scale.
