Well I'm disappointed. The scale is quite a bit larger than 15mm. The ODST troopers are about 25mm tall. I bought the Warthog set today. I'll try and get some pics posted later. The Banshee set would probably be ok. Maybe the Falcon.  |

Are those the ones based on the Clix bases?

I wondered about the buildings. How big is a bunker anyway. You can look at most buildings and see they are whatever scale but I wonder if the micro ops stuff will work. I doubted the troopers would be in scale.

ODST are 7'+ I have to check, but they might work as leader types for my old 18mm RAFM figures.
The Banshee and Ghost I'm going to use as a small tank and APC for one of my aliens (most likely my micropanzer figures)
I forgot I pre-ordered a set of the small blister cards and one Falcon.
BTW the ODST bases are the size of pennies so maybe they will have some uses right out of the box.

I measured the fig for the cannon and he was 25mm tall.

If anyone can post comparison pics against "normal" 15mm it would be great.

theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=276097My pictures came out washed out in the flash (too many primed figures. Not enough paint) but that thread has some shots. BTW the Warthog doesn't have a pilot. A Halo guy stands on the back with a mounted machine gun. Leave the guy and gun off, kitbash a figure into the driver seat and add whatever you want on the back and it will be good to go.

The Falcon certainly looks usable but retails at £22 or $34 dollars in the UK! Particularly want to see the High Ground Bunker, High Ground Tower and gate. |

Bunker comes apart (battle damage) so it's in a blister (same size as the Falcon) already apart. Other than the pictures on the box, I don't think anyone has seen it yet.
The box for the High Ground Gate looks good. The tower i haven't seen yet, but I'm told those are the quickest moving pieces (possibly because stores bought the least amount of the $25 box??)
