Runewars Miniatures Game Scale Comparison (Part 2)

A while ago, Asmodee sent Must Contain Minis a review copy of Runewars by Fantasy Flight Games. In this post, I am going to show my readers a scale comparison of the Daqan (Human) miniatures in the base-set to figures by other companies. This is the second part to my two part series about the scale of Runewars minis. The first part looked at the Waiqar (undead) army.

The Daqan army from the Runewars starter box.

When I first saw the artwork of Runewars, the first thing that popped in my mind was “I wonder how these minis scale to the biggest miniatures company out there.” Below is the answer to that question.

Here we have a Sig-Marine taking on three Daqan Spearmen.

The Sig-Marine towers over the Daqan soldiers. Are the models compatible for RPGs and other games? Perhaps. Take note, though, that the Marine is “heads-and-shoulders” above the Spearmen. Overtime, we will see how the two brands compete. 🙂

After looking at the figures with a Sig-Marine, I wanted to see how the figures scale against Frostgrave miniatures by North Star. Below is that comparison and they fit in quite well. These are 28mm in scale.

Here we have the Runewars Daqan Spearmen side-to-side a number of North Star Military Figures’ Frostgrave Barbarians.

While they fit in perfectly with the Frostgrave figures, they are a little shorter than Reaper Miniatures figures. These are genrally 32mm in scale.

Here we have the Daqan Spearmen next two Barbarian figures by Reaper Miniatures.

Below are images of the other units with some comparison figures.

Here we have some Calvary surrounding two Barbarians. The Barbarian on the left is by North Star and the one on the right is by Reaper.

Here we have a Reaper mini on the left, Runewars Kari Wraithstalker in the centre, and a Frostgrave figure on the right.

Above we have a scale comparison between the minis in Runewars and Conan. The Runewars minis are a little shorter, but fit the scale together well enough. I could see RPG and Skirmish game players easily dipping into these figures to create interesting adventures in a variety of games.

The Conan figure on the far right does not fit into the Runewars movement tray.

Here we have the Golem taking on Conan. Who do you think would win?

In this battle, the Golem taking on a Reaper Miniatures Hill Giant. Who would be the victor here?
