Nice figs - might be good as a proxy for Freedom Brigades or other unavail units.

35mm is a whole new rabbit hole to go down-what scale is that anyway?

Well, considering the size of all the Warzone and Chronopia figs across the ranges, a couple 35mm figs ain't gonna stand out so greatly.

Thom told me he sculpted a few back in the old days, including the Vulture Crossbowmen.  I was shocked.  When I asked him what scale they were in he just laughed.  There was no official scale for most of the models we game with.

I will also say that the original Martian Banshees were 35mm at the eyeball.  And the Cardinal fig is HUGE!!!  I always love the discussion of a mini's height.  Is it to the top of the head, or eye level? 

What's sick is that my Banshees didn't come with the bald, goateed Sergeant, so I substituted a later edition's Wailing Banshee Sgt.  I'm not sure that's "legal", but you use what you've got.  Unfortunately, he wears a different jetpack and he's much shorter than his troops.  The only saving grace is that he's "flying" and the added height makes him the same height of his squad.
