For anyone interested in scaling figures: if you scale epic up by 186% (6mm to 11.2mm) or regular 40k to 40% (28mm to 11.2mm), you'll end up with "metric" minis. The 11mm size is based on converting imperial to metric (28mm * (10/25) = 11.2mm); what this means is that with 11.2mm minis you can play standard 28mm games using metric instead of imperial measurements on smaller coffee table sized boards, or play large size games on full sized tables using standard imperial measurements without the game feeling cluttered by overly large models that can't fit around terrain. It's basically the perfect intermediary scale.

This is one of the reasons that 3d printers are such a massive boon for wargamers and table-top gamers in general. The fact that you don't have to be constrained to the scale gaming minis come in if you have limited space opens up the hobby to a lot more people. Sure, the printer itself does take up space, but your average beginner resin printer (such as an Elegoo Mars) has a much smaller footprint than the cases you would need to store a typical 40K army. And once the initial investment in the printer is paid, it's a far more economic way to get into a miniature game. The only real drawback is the time it takes to print the minis, but if you're painting your minis in batches rather than all at once, you'll likely be painting one set while another is printing anyway. And it's relatively easy to adjust your scale to whatever you want. All STL files can be scaled to what you need in your slicer program before printing, just be sure to keep note of how much you scale a mini by, so you can make sure everything matches up. Honestly, the hardest part would be deciding what scale to convert the rules to. Will you just cut the scale in half and divide all the distances by two? Or convert inches to centimeters and make everything a third of the size? It really depends on how small you want to go, and how small your printer will still be able to print at. Personally, I feel converting inches to centimeters is a good place to start, since you can scale down your models to 33% easy enough, and most tailor's measuring tapes (which are perfect for wargames) have both inches and centimeters already.

Honestly, it makes so much more sense for TTRPGs. Being able to create sprawling cities or environments in 10 or 15mm and populating it with civilians or swarms of enemies on a coffee table rather than a 6x4 makes so much more sense for the layman gamer or GM who wants to tell a story on a smaller space and budget.

Wholeheartedly agree - smaller game footprints make this hobby far more accessible. Wish I'd discovered the joys of 15mm earlier; just treat centimetres as inches and suddenly you can pack multiple boards into a suitcase. And STILL have space for clothes! I've now got an old art box with two boards set up inside, and am working in a set of 36 10x10cm modular tiles which can pack into a small briefcase. That's three different biomes fitting into the space of four 28mm buildings. Can't see myself going back

Good point on accessibility. Outside of cost, it's far easier for someone to get into something they can put away on a shelf or in a closet. 40k has gotten physically larger (scale creep) and larger in scale itself (larger armies, larger warmachines, etc). It's intimidating and all of those larger size and number of models take up more and more space. I live in a small place, and having an option like this means it's easier for me to consider about than having to make a giant table and shelving beyond shelving for my models.

@@ScooterinAB Agreed, it's wonderful having stuff that can fit entirely into a regular cupboard! Or even a shoebox. When I go holidaying, my collection of 70ish minis for skirmish campaigning can fit safely packed into three screws and bolts storage compartments. Smaller scales mean terrain doesn't have to be so exquisitely detailed, so can be less intimidating to make. There's more scope for indicative scenery without having to match the larger, more intricate kits which have become the norm.

Tiny Boardgaming becomes more and more appealing to me. I play Age of Fantasy Regiments with Warmaster Stripes and somehow due to the smaller regiment size, it feels a lot more epic. And yes, you can use smaller boards, less time to paint and assembly and field larger armies. Can't wait for my 3D printer, it is a follow-up model to yours, so I hope it will perform well with the 10mm scale.

Way back around White Dwarf 213 to 220 era (late 1990's) there was an article/letter published where 2 people had magnetized their epic models and created a small scale travel board and game to play 40k on a tiny epic scale when on long road trips. This very much reminds me of that, barring the magnetized board and models. The flip side of your approach is to collect squads of the large scale plastic action figure space marines and play on very large scaled playing areas (backyards have a wealth of natural terrain) but that aside, I love how you've got this mix of 3D printed models and GW models mixed in - that quiet equal ground between 3D printing everything and enjoying existing models without just ripping them off completely.

All my gaming mats are on a rolling closet rod hanger, custom made, on wheels, that can be easily moved out of the way. All my models and terrain are on a shelf unit on wheels that can also be wheeled out of the way as needed. Only down side is that everything is more or less hidden and I can't sit and oogle at everything.

This allowed to scenery (hills, woods etc) stick to the felt base as I based the with felt. It turned out it was perfect for a 40k board while traveling on a train as stuff didn't slip around and was small enough to pack up in a small box afterwards. The playing area was 48cm squared. Ranges were in cm rather than inches.

i've been playing 10mm kings of war for years and for me it's not the expense, although that is significant and who doesn't want to save money when you can! no, it's the feel. there's something about the scope of playing with really small pieces that makes the whole endeavour feel really cinematic in a way normal 28mm doesn't. it's hard to explain but just about everyone i've ever played with at smaller scales notices the difference in feel to the games. because it takes up so much less space it also allows for experimenting with interesting options- for example we sometimes play with more realistic missile weapon ranges. we usually extend the magic range out the same as missile weapons just for fun. you'd be amazed at what a difference having so much more room makes.

Brilliant idea, and I reckon my BT board will be in a picture frame too.

im actually in the middle of making a massive urban coffee table board. its the minimum GW table size for 500 pts. but its covered in 3-5 story tall buildings in a tight urban layout, the two halfs end up being 1.5'x2' and are meant to sit on either side of my TV when im not playing as displays for my two armies. the whole idea is you can sit on the couch while you play. it took almost a year to print all of the parts for just the buildings...

I am very tempted to make a travel version of 30K/40K with the new Legions Imperialis models. You could have a 2'x1' board with a hinge, so that it folds up into a 1' square, and that would be to scale an 8' x 4' board. have it metal backed, mount all the Nu-Epic models onto magnets (or use a cork board and mount the models onto push pins), and you now have a very portable version of the game.

I've got a 20mm 30k project In the making. Iove how much less space I need for terrain etc. At 20mm I can use standard 28mm and scale down without losing a ton of details (for most models).

So cool to see someone else doing this too! I made Marines versus Orks and replayed Battle At The Farm but with a few additional units. I used One Page Rules and it was fast and fun. Also started printing off some downscaled 'Robot Legions' from OPR. Like you I used Tinkercad which is so easy to use. The whole setup is also really portable - army in a Lunchbox. Thanks for the video :-)

I'm all about tiny. It lets the players be closer, and in a way, the small scale forces you to shrink down your focus onto that tiny world, making it more immersive. I'm working on my Saurian Army for One Page Rules next!

Absolutely amazing. This is 100% what we need in the hobby. I could actually get into 40k gaming if I could just slap together an army like this, throw it into an organizing case, and go game on someone's coffee table. I absolutely can't fathom why Warhammer hasn't formally supported something like this yet, it would generate a ton of business

I love this idea. I remember reading an old White Dwarf article on "travel 40k." Epic looks fun, but the models are too small to appreciate and the battles too large in scale for my liking. This is a perfect example of what I also like, and I've been looking for ideas like this to feel out what to do for myself.

Very nice work! We did the same in my club, but we scaled them down to suit cm, instead of inches. So a space marine base is now 1 cm wide, instead of 1 inch.

The tiny scale definatly makes sense for titans. Getting a titan the size of a person is insane. The warhammer scale is good for DND so you can have enough detail to see but small enough not too much space if you get a reasonable number of minis.

~15mm miniatures make sooooo much more sense for 40K, and still use inches for distance but cm for move. Great job with the frame being able to be hung on a wall too. I saw a space hulk game once using 6mm figures, it fit in like a shoe polish can and was pretty neat, but a bit small still.

You should give a game called Dropzone Commander a look. It's a 10mm wargame that I've found myself loving, and scratches that itch for a small, yet large, battle. Though it's still a wargame so you'll need a decent size table. but still, think it's worth the look

This is amazing, as soon as I saw this I started printing epic scale marines at 186% (saw a comment that explained that is the metric system scale) and it's awesome, wife and me are planing to print and paint 2, 1000 point armies to start playing with this.
