Editing Scale Inconsistency (section)

==28mm "Heroic"==
Something common to Warhammer 40k/Sigmar/Old World is that their model's scale is over all a bit... Off. If you hold a 40k Imperial Guardsmen up against a 28mm model of, for example Napoleon's Imperial Guard, the 40k Guardsmen would look weird. The gun would be overly sized while the head would be massive among other differences. This is because Games Workshop uses 28mm "Heroic" scale. Unlike normal 28mm scale model the weapons and head are inflated to be larger than would be proportional in order to make them 'pop' and be more visible. You can paint a space marines helmet's lens, don't even try with a bolt action model that has goggles. This is why when you try to proxy 40k vehicles, 32mm models tend to fit better than the nominally 'correct' 28mm, 28mm Heroic is almost between the two. While constant between games it's still mostly inconsistent with the broader industry so it gets a quick mention here.
