Choosing the Right Scale for Your Miniatures
Picking the right scale is more than just a number—it’s the foundation of a visually immersive wargame. At Patrick Miniatures, we offer miniatures and terrain in 15mm, 20mm, 28mm, and 32mm scales to match every genre and gameplay style.
-
15mm is perfect for massive battles and strategic-level games.
-
20mm is a favorite for historical war gaming and vehicles.
-
28mm is the most widely used for skirmish games like Bolt Action and Spectre.
-
32mm allows for high detail, dynamic poses, and fits perfectly in sci-fi or cyberpunk settings.
But not all figures are created equal—even within the same scale. Some designers sculpt in bulkier heroic style, while others prefer a true-to-life approach. Footwear like high heels or dynamic poses can also impact how a figure measures up visually. That’s why we baseline our models using a consistent heel-to-eye measurement to ensure compatibility across designers and themes.
Vehicles are just as critical. We tailor our 3D-printed vans, tanks, and more to match either 28mm or 32mm figures precisely, so your tabletop feels coherent and cinematic.
