I have a question regarding scaling for the fabelzel hobgoblins.
I’m currently working on a project that consists of both lost kingdom (infernal guard, artillery etc), and fabelzel (hobgoblins).
Upon getting my order of models (my printer is out of commission at the moment unfortunately), I was somewhat shocked at how small the hobgoblins seemed. However, I have no original models to compare them to, so I wanted to consult the experts: do these hobgoblins look correct, scaling wise?
First pic is a comparison between a lost kingdom chorf and the fabelzel hobgobs i received, on a 20mm base (I plan to use conversion trays)
I sadly don’t have a side-by-side picture at the ready, but the Fabelzels fit nicely with my older Chorfs. If anything, I think that Lost Kingdom Dwarf seems very… tall. Maybe that’s just a result of the general scale creep of miniatures sinde the 90’s.
The LKM Immortals are ginormous, they are not even in scale with the regular LKM warriors (which I would scale down a tiny bit already, but only by 5–8 % or so).
Don’t take those for a measure.
I reached out to both sellers, and found out that both the fabelzel and lost kingdom miniatures were scaled down 100%, so the proportions between the two are the same as they would be, but should be a better fit for 28mm than non scaled version.
I anticipated the lost kingdom to be scaled down, but was not expecting the fabelzel minis to be, and I kinda wish they wouldn’t have, but probably just going to roll with it.
