I did a search on this and nothing came up, so here goes: How do Black Orc minis compare size-wise to those of other manufacturers, such as GW, Black Tree, Ral Partha, etc.? |

If you're talking about the 100 Kingdoms line, a quick eyeball check suggests a tiger swordsman and ammo clown are pretty close in size to an older ork burna and a couple different Harlequins. |

Yeah, those are the figs I'm asking about--thanks. I'm tempted, especially by their figures currently on sale, but I want to know if they will be at all compatible with what I have already. |

They seem to be a fairly "average" range size wise, but I've only a few, and beyond the couple GW figs to hand don't have much to compare them with. |

Chris;
Give me a list of figures you want the sizes for as I use to carry these figures to the HMGS-East and Midwest Cons. I still have surplus stock and I am willing to sell it off at a very good price if I have the figures available. Contact me at battlefield_designs@rogers.com Regards, |

Height wise they are compatible with most others (like Reaper, Black Tree and Ral Partha). They don't have the same beefiness associated with GW figures. Some models can be rather "flat", but they are easy to re-pose. They come with a slotted base. The bases provided by the maker are, in my opinion, very poor. I have to shave the base or the slot to get a good fit, and I finally just decided to use another brand of base because they often come warped. In any case the plastic is too light to provide good stability for the model. |
