Rightly or wrongly, the scale of GW's new models will be regarded as the norm so if a third party makes models in a different scale, this will only set them apart and not in a good way. I think that regardless of what established gamers prefer, the scale of any new miniatures have to match GW's scale for third party miniatures to remain an attractive option. Miniatures should 'read' from away, not being blobs with two sticks on each side (I think they represent arms ). Oh, yeah, and focus on good sculpts with good poses. It means less material, which means more affordable productions and shipping. So I would keep doing 28mm eyes (which seems to mean 28 eyes & posed, which means they are bigger, like 30+ top of head & posed, and thus even bigger if straight). I could look up other pictures and try again. I calculated one orc using the base as reference and the height was pretty much unchanged, all apparent size change comes from bulk and arms flapping. They already announced a similar trick about Adeptus Titanicus (and by extension Epic), they had to change something and settled on 8mm (before 6mm). last years of GW arriving at AoS, bluntly), to justify the 32mm bases. You start with heroic, then enlarge them horizontally and make the proportions even worse (also overload everything else and use nonsense muscles or clothes. Some background: I decided to call the new style grotesque.
