Here are just a few different models side by side to see the difference.
First the Germans. Notice the one plastic figure from Wargames Factory. Very nice and proportionate figure. I really like them a lot and I can't wait to paint up the rest of them. I know many will say that they don't fit, but I would use them on the same game table.

Here are the U.S.

I left out Battle Honors in the last group, so I put one next to the Gothic Line figure.

As far as I'm concerned, these all work together! Gothic Line Miniatures is a great addition to all the other figures and they are slowly expanding with new figures.

Nice comparison photos. I cast my lot with Crusader/Artizan and some Warlord for all my armies so won't be needing these, but they look mixable enough.

Thanks!

Any idea how Bolt Action figs fit in?

Now having taken a closer look, the American .30-cal machinegun ammo carrier with the ammo box (second from the right in the middle photo) is a Bolt Action figure, not a Crusader one as indicated in the photo.

And the dismounted tank crewman on the far right in the same pic is Artizan Designs I believe, as opposed to Crusader.

28mm Fanatik, thanks for the correction. I am not as familiar with either of those lines and thought they were Crusader. I do appreciate the input!

No problem. It's good to support lesser lines like GothicLine or Offensive Miniatures. Artizan, Crusader, and Bolt Action/Warlord are way too popular.

Jurgen Keuppe, why don't you post a new thread to promote these figures. They look very nice, although I would only buy them unpainted. But you will get more attention with a new message and introduction header. I hadn't heard of these before.

It's been posted before here: TMP link

But its header "New Company" isn't particular helpful. It's a card-based if not card-driven system, but you can't get the cards without also buying the painted figs so that's a deal breaker for me.
