Figures in size comparison

The size of figures is usually relevant in a tabletop, and this is also the case with Chronopia.


Especially when it comes to fire and sightlines, it matters whether a character is in cover or not. In addition, larger figures are of course easier to attack than smaller ones in close combat.

As the photo above shows, the differences can reach significant proportions. It is therefore understandable that a goblin cannot replace a troll. Nor does it make sense for a rider to represent an infantryman.

When choosing the units, you should therefore consider the right figures.

Different Editions / Manufacturers

Uhrwerk Verlag has followed the long-term trend with the new edition of the Chronopia figures by raising the scale of the normal infantry figures from 28mm to 32mm.
Accordingly, the base has been enlarged from 25mm to 30mm.


This can be seen well in the picture above, which points from left to right:
- Uruk-Hai by Games Workshop (25mm)
- Blackblood Orc Assault Warrior by Target Games (28mm)
- Firstborn Longbowmen by Uhrwerk Verlag (32mm)

You can see that it recognizes a noticeable, but only conditionally relevant difference. The larger volume of a 32mm figure allows the modeler more options for details, etc. That was certainly one of the main drivers in increasing the size.

Use old Chronopia figures?

The size difference between the old and new figures is 0.4mm. In most cases, this is not relevant for gaming.

In individual cases such as the Dusk Realm Demon and Troll, whose older versions are much smaller, there may be problems. These should be solved amicably, otherwise resolved with a roll of the dice.

Here are two examples of new and old.


Both photos show figures of the Devouts, with the new model shown on the left and the old variant on the right.

Of course, you can see the progress in design. In particular, the pewter figure on the first picture is a model from 1997 and therefore still quite simple.

From a purely playful point of view, the use of the old figures is not a problem.
