There's no way these two scales are measured the same way, even if I take into account the Ashigau I chose is kneeling.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10541611128064822330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9191876898941079913.post-21138436507221214082012-06-21T07:07:06.950-04:002012-06-21T07:07:06.950-04:00Thanks for all that.

I agree that it depends on your entry point to the hobby. Mine is through RPGs and GW, with early dabbling in DBM, so 25-28mm and 15mm, I have no issues. I guess I'll have to check out each brand before I buy if I want to use this place to stock up on figs.<br /><br />I agree that the price point per mini may have been high, but it was the lowest price per box, which allowed me to see what was in the box.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10541611128064822330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9191876898941079913.post-66183403332656954632012-06-21T04:32:06.100-04:002012-06-21T04:32:06.100-04:00Check this site out
