The Games Nexus Miniatures Database is a lists of miniatures, collected by their size and type. It's still a work in progress.
Size categories: I've based the size comparisons on 1:56 miniatures, where an average 170 cm high human is a 30mm high miniature. If you'd like to use another scale as a reference, find the average height of the mini, and change the size reference accordingly. For example if you'd
- S -3 - Super tiny: 1-3mm (2) high miniatures. Average size of 1:900 (2mm) miniatures.
- S -2 - Incredibly tiny: 3-5mm (4) high miniatures.
- S -1 - Very tiny: 5-8mm (6,5) high miniatures. Average size of 1:300 (6mm) miniatures.
- S 0 - Tiny (S0): 8-12mm (10) high miniature. Average size of 1:180 (10mm) miniatures.
- S 1 - Very small (S1): 12-18mm (15) high miniature. Average size of 1:120 (15mm) miniatures.
- S 2 - Small (S2): 18-26mm (22) high miniature. 1:72 miniature could fit into this size category.
- S 3 - Human-sized (S3): 26-38mm (32) high miniature. Average size of 1:56 (28/32mm) miniatures.
- S 4 - Large (S4): 38-54mm (46) high miniature. 1:48-1:33 (1:39) miniature could fit into this size category.
- S 5 - Huge (S5): 54-78mm (66) high miniature. 1:33-1:23 (1:27) miniature could fit into this size category.
- S 6 - Giant (S6): 78-110mm (94) high miniature. 1:23-1:17 (1:19) miniatures, like the 1:18 (3.3/4 inch) GI Joe or Star Wars action figures could fit into this size category.
- S 7 - Extra Giant (S7): 110-158mm (134) high miniature. 1:16-1:12 (1:13,5) miniatures, like the 1:13 (5.1/2 inch) Masters of the Universe action figures could fit into this size category.
- S 8 - Ultra giant: 158-222mm (190) high miniature. 1:11-1:9 (1:9,5) miniatures could fit into this size category.
- S 9 - Super Giant: 222-318mm (270) high miniature. 1:8-1:6 (1:7) miniatures could fit into this size category.
Size category modifiers: Sometimes it could be useful to indicate these.
- + : bigger than average: It means the miniature is in the upper limits of that size category. This could mean he is a high member of that size category, or a small member of the next category.
- - : smaller than average: It means the miniature is in the minimum limits of that size category. This could mean he is a small member of that size category, or an exeptionally big member of the previous category.
