star wars legion vs warhammer 40k

Everyone is buzzing this week about all the Star Wars Legion previews going around the internet. Here’s a picture to give you an idea of their overall scale compared to miniatures you may know a bit better already.

While the new Star Wars Legion minis are for sure bigger than their Imperial Assault counterparts, they seem to match up well with the current scale of Warhammer 40k whether you call it 28mm heroic of just plain 32mm. Some folks have even hypothesized that the Legion minis are 1/48th scale and compatible with Bandai’s model kits.

What do you think about the new game’s scale?
