28mm Walker Size Comparison

A Size Comparison of Some 28 mm Walkers

Inspiration

I am again blaming this size comparison on Dentatus...he started it all.  I have limited this to walkers with two or more legs, but not like a Mech with two arms.  I have stretched the scale a bit, but these are walkers I have in my collection.  I have only shown one example of any particular line of miniatures, for instance, the Kryomek line from Scotia Grendel has 5 walkers that are similar, but I have shown only one.

The Walkers


The Walkers in this photo are, from upper right, one of the US walkers from Dust Tactics, to the right of it is one of the German walkers from Dust Tactics, to the  right of that is the Talosian Tank Droid from the Star Wars line, and at upper right is a Sierp from AT-43  A note about the Talosian Tank Droid:  it is very large and can be purchased for a very reasonable amount.
In the middle at left is a toy, the make of which I do not know, but it was bought at a dollar store.  I have reworked the toy.  In about the middle of the photo is a Behemoth from the Void line by Scotia Grendel with its howdah at center right.  Between the two is a smaller dinosaur from the same line with its head being the black thing just in front of it.
At bottom left is an Uga Uga from the Star Wars line, my three miniatures I usually use for these comparisons, and at bottom left is a powered armor from the AT-43 line.








In this photo at left is the Korvus Walker, in the middle is the Tiger APC, both from the Void line from Scotia Grendel, and at right is the Orca Walker from Warzone, which I believe can still be purchased online.  Sorry about the shape of the Tiger, I dropped it on the way to take these pics.





















The walker at the right is the Fenris Storn Strider from the Kryomek line by Scotia Grendel.  All five of the walkers from this line have the same legs, and "hip" piece, the only difference being the cab and the weapons.  The walker in the middle of the photo is the TACO-34 and the walker on the left is by the same store on ebay, caomao1122.  The one on the left is not currently available, but I have asked them if they plan to recast these, as well as others that are not currently available, but have not yet received a reply.  Also, both of these pieces are listed as 1/35th scale.













The two legs to to both the metallic body to the right and the red body at top center.  I do not recall the name of the metallic one, but the red one is the Grizzly Bear.  Both are made by Armorcast, but neither is currently available.  The monstrosity at the right of the photo is the Raven Scavenger walker from the Kryomek line by Scotia Grendel.  Of all of the pieces I have in my collection, purchasing this is the one regret I have.
















On the left side of the photo is the Mammoth Strider by Dreampod 9.  I have taken liberties because this is a smaller scale miniature, but it is very large, so I still use it as a 28 mm walker.  On the left is the AT-ST model kit that you can buy at some stores.

A note about the AT-ST:  it does have limited parts, but there were some pieces that I have not shown because I didn't want to risk losing them.













At upper left is a Therian Walker from AT-43, in the middle is a Vulkan Battlesuit from the Warzone line from Prince August, and on the right is a Grenadier Walker - I am not sure of what its original name was and I am unsure what line it actually came from.

The miniatures in the front are a Tracked Warbot from Alpha Forge Games, but I am unsure of who has the rights to the molds now, Decker, Steampunk Hero from the Chronoscope line of Reaper, and a Robot from Reviresco.
