What is the difference between 18mm & 28mm Add-ons?Both addons are made on a single 15cm x 20cm Plexiglass sheet. The 18mm version accommodates double the figurines of the 28mm version due to their smaller scale.
How do I choose the scale - 10mm, 18mm, or 28mm?The choice of scale depends on your preferences and needs. Smaller scales (10mm and 18mm) are cost-effective for dioramas, while a larger scale (28mm) offers more detail on each figurine. Smaller scales also require less space, with 10mm and 18mm requiring a game mat of approximately 90cm x 120cm, while 28mm requires around 120cm x 200cm.
