Reply To: [Battletech] Scale? Terrain?

Well the “scale” of the Mechs do wander about a bit when they were cast in metals. So they “wander” somewhere between 10mm and 6mm at times (I seem to remember the old metal Davion and Kurita infantry models were 8mm (ish). But I’d look for scale agnostic 10mm buildings (things like hangers with BIG doors). There’s a fair bit of stuff available via shapeways for 3D printers designed for BattleTech. Of course I’m going to recommend the GeoHex terrain (if only they were to find a manufacturer here in Europe as the shipping adds 50-60% on to the cost of buying it from the US).

On the newer plastics, not sure if the scale “wobble” has calmed down (and what official scale they settled on), basically a Locust is always cast too large, and an Atlas cast too small in the older metals range.
