Making my own Huge minis.

[SpuneDagr]

Alright, I wanna make some "huge" minis that will be to scale with my D&D Harbinger figures.
If an 8' tall umber hulk is 40 mm,
a monster 20' tall would be 100 mm.

A large figure has a base of 40 mm (which is about 4/5 of two 5' squares)
Would a huge have a base of 60 mm (which is about 4/5 of three 5' squares)?

I'm gonna do the Nightwalker. He's really just a black sillouette. Piece of cake.

Did Chainmail have any Huge figures in it? How big were their bases?

K, well I used a 60 mm base. It seems like just the right size. He's just a cardboard cutout, but this dude friggin' TOWERS over the others. I like 'im.

Does anybody know how long a bulette is? With and without the tail?

Sounds cool. You got photos?

 

[SpuneDagr]

I'll post some photos as soon as I can borrow a digital camera.

Does anybody know exactly how big a bulette is supposed to be?

Bulettes are huge so that puts them between 16-32 ft not counting their tail. I would put them nearer to sixteen, that would make them about the size of a full grown african elephant...pretty darn big.

Even something on the low end of huge would barely fit on the base I have, and I can't make that much bigger without messing up the facing size.

Something 16 ft long (without a tail) would be 80 mm.
My base is 60 mm. He's gonna be standing like a ballerina.

I'm gonna go to a craft store and get some Sculpie. This is fun! Yay!

huge mini.... is that like jumbo shrimp?

Only the legs need to be on the base ( The base does not have to "fill" as many squares as the creature would fill in combat ), so go nuts.

BTW, your estimates of :

A large figure has a base of 40 mm (which is about 4/5 of two 5' squares)
Would a huge have a base of 60 mm (which is about 4/5 of three 5' squares)?

seem a bit off to me. A 40MM base would fill most of four 1" (5ft) squares

Again, don't confuse the size of the base with Space/Reach stats

The Large figures DO have a base of 40 mm. That fills most of four 1" squares. All larges fill a 10ft x 10ft square now, remember? 3.5.
