My wife picked up an old micro machines ATAT for a few pennies from a local second hand store for me.

Do you think its about the right scale next to this TIE

I think the AT-AT is undersized by about a third, but that's a wild guess.

Oddly the wife thinks the ATAT is a little too big.

She thinks the cockpit should be the same size as a Lambda

I also thing the ATAT has to be a little bigger. Remember the snow glider (dont know the name) has a two man cockpit and had wuite some space flying through the legs. The TIE wouldn't have the space to fly through.

T47 airspeeder i think they are called.... might have the T bit wrong but certainly 'airspeeder'. They were never called snowspeeders officially but everyone calls them that!

I see your point maybe its a bit small but i think given the A wing Y wing descrepancy it will do as a marker piece for a ground attack set of rules i have in mind. just need to get some comparatively scaled ATST and maybe another ATAT too.

Rebel turrets should be easy enough to build.

If you want rules to use your AT-AT with X-wing, check out SWXW: Ground Assault at No Name Publishing's page.

I scaled each pic individually so this may help.

Cheers but i've sort of already writtten my own

I sort of write wargames rules and militaria articles for a living so doing an 'ground attack' set was something i'd been thinking of for ages, including multiple height levels etc

My own set dont deviate amazingly from the core.

Everything is pretty much the same except you have your height pegs as 'height levels', going up a level reduces your speed by one ( so a dial set to 5 white would be 4 white) , going down a height *adds* one to you speed.

Any speed increase or decrease that is over your dials normal range is 'red' and adds stress (you're either pulling too many Gs or pushing the airframe too hard)

I'll have a look at those rules though in case they inspire me to add any other ideas so thanks.

Well if your scaling is correct (and it looks it to me) then the ATAT i just pikced up is fractionally too big but not so much as to look 'wrong'.

Thanks

As a quick reference when "eyeballing" the scale of an ATAT, think of the neck as a tube that a six foot tall man walks through! A TIE cockpit is a sphere that a six foot man can stand in. But both need flat floors built in so they both need to be same diameter, hence they should appear to be the same height!

Hence the ball of a Tie and the neck of an ATAT are easy to compare at a glance.

I'm pretty sure that the Snowspeeders are a lot smaller than TIEs (of any variety).

The AT-AT is listed at 20m tall, which would be 2.9 inches @ 270:1.

So if anything it's a little too big. That actually surprised me, I would have thought the AT-AT would need to be a little bigger -- but the snowspeeders the rebels used at Hoth were much smaller than a TIE.

It's deceptive how big a tie cockpit is.

T47 were originally suppose to be modified Y-Wing cockpits with 2 engines bolted on. So speeders were quite a bit smaller than a tie.

On my tablet and can't use hyper links at the moment. MacrossVF1 (Alternativewargamer.blogspot.se) has painted and made some wonderful AT-AT rules over in the repaints subforum using this exact model. In addition, a Spanish fella has recently posted a few pics of the same model at Ignatiusminiatures.wordpress.com.

Inspiring stuff on both counts. Definitely worth checking out.

Here is one for size

That thing's the size of a medium dog; I've seen them playing the Hoth scenario at GenCon!
