Subject: [GZG] 25mm GZG figures and HO scale models
All, I realize that the GZG figures are undersized compared to more modern figures. Are they undersized enough to fit in well with HO scale terrain?

So would HO scale buildings fit in with the 15mm HO scale is about 1/87th -- 15mm is around 1/100th so the HO scale buildings will be a bit large. I've known people to mix HO and 20mm figures and it looks a bit off though depending on the scale[1] of the game it may work. You may want to look at O scale buildings to go with your 25mm figs. I just set a few figures (a GW 28mm, Foundry 28mm, and an Old Glory 25mm) up against a "factory" building I have and they seem close enough to work. Buy one in kit form (12$-20$ each) and try it out. There are quite a few O scale buildings out there but they're typically suburban / 50's style affairs. When building a post- apocalypse type table they'd probably work peachy if you aged them up. The Plasticville apartment building can be scified up easily enough. [1] Scale being say one stand equals a squad and one building on the table represents 5 or so buildings...your mileage may vary.

So I'm not as much looking for terrain as I am for figures to go with the terrain that I already have. Everything is in a modern/dirty/industrial style and would be perfect for near-future gaming if I can find the right scale of figures.

In the past, during my horrid 20mm days, I did play with some HO scale terrain but then again I'll also mix 25mm and 28mm figures on the table. Some folks are purists in this regard. Haven't you taken home some 15mm GZG stuff from past ECCs? Damo

And to top it off, the only 25mm GZG figures I have are non-humans so I'm not sure if a normal human trooper fits in with the buildings either. Oh well. I have lots of other projects to get to anyway. I suspect this terrain may sit in the boxes for a while until I figure out what to do with it.

I just based up some 1/87 civilians (for Zombie/Riot/Innocent Bystander scenarios). Due to the material (plastic) they have much less heft than the 15s I plan to use them with. The 15s are nearly a head taller and much "beefier". For Vehicles ROCO works well too.
