What scale are your miniatures?

Our models are 28mm – also known as 1/56… Yes you can use 1/50 vehicles as well – whatever works for you is fine. There is no definitive right answer. Some players use 1/50, some use 1/48, – it’s down to personal preference – whatever looks right to you, is the correct solution for you.

Our Doctor Who Into the Time Vortex range are the exception; they are 38mm tall.

I am in a VAT exempt region…

We have now set a global price point for all our products which in turn has enabled us to be able to issue an RRP.

This change was implemented when we introduced the new web store which has set the same price for everyone regardless of country, tax is now not removed during checkout as it isn’t included. Therefore unlike the old web store which had the old pricing structure there are no deductions applied in the shopping cart.

This has also allowed us to keep our shipping the same to everywhere.

My question isn’t listed here, what do I do?

Our Customer Service team will be happy to help with any advice or queries, please get in touch with them via info@warlordgames.com.
