Oniria Miniatures scale comparison (Napoleonics)

Post by HMS Priapus »

Having failed to find any comparisons of these vignettes beside other manufacturers models. Perry, Victrix, Offensive Miniatures, for example, I now turn to the crew here for assistance.

Do any members of our august tribunal have a sense of how these figures compare to other 28mm Napoleonics?

If their French Foreign Legion of Camerone are anything to go by, then they are heroic 28mm.
Rules? You ask me what rules do I use. No, I don't do rules.

They are indeed very heroic scaled napoleonics somewhere in the region of 32mm+ foot to eye I think.
Couple of pics with ruler, pictures stolen from elsewhere on the web :)

this last one includes some Perry Miniatures bodies with Oniria heads. Note that Oniria don't have moulded on bases which both helps with the size issue but also makes attaching them to bases a pin and glue job.

Do sculptors not possess rulers? If you are going to call these guys heroic 28mm, why not call them heroic 6mm?

There's nothing heroic about 6mm ... :zap:

Steady now, young Antipodean - next, you'll be disparaging 20mm.....

Thanks all. Too heroic in size to match my collection. They'd tower over even the most robust of the Victrix French infantry, which seem curiously our of scale compared their other box sets.
