I can also add this, from review in the other thread. Although compatibility is subjective, they are not compatible in my book. But they are wonderfull miniatures.

"I have also received mine. I was positively surprised. The sculpting is really good, and the figures are very well proportioned. Boki is a really talented sculptor. What I really liked was the poses. The cossaks had the best lances on a 6 mm miniature I have seen, and the lances and swords were in good positions that looks like they will not break easily in the long run. The infantry is perfectly spaced, and will look good when based.

Compared to Adlers (which are my reference) they are 20% smaller, so that I can put 12 on a base where I put 10 adlers.

Unfortunately they are in my opinion not compatible with Adlers (or Baccus for that matter), as they are more the size of Heroics and ros (but with much better detail). Therefore they are of no use to me with my huge Adler collection.
I wish Boki would take the same path with the 6 mm as he has taken with his 18 mm, where he produces a line that is compatible with the "gold standard" ABīs making players able to use his range to supplement rather than change their collection. If Boki redesigned this range to be Adler / Baccus compatible in size, his sculpting talents would make the range a great succes, whereas the present size will – in my opinion – target a much smaller audience"

Thanks, Sparta! I miss your review before, thanks to TMP bug.
You have Heroic and Ros figures and you may do comparing photos?

I am a little confused. On photos from other reviewers my infantry have the same height as Adler and Baccus. And my cavalry have even bigger horses than Adler, so I decided to sculpt a little smaller horses for next.

Same for 10/12mm plans wink

From teh review "The adler and boki figures are both the same figure I had to use a brittish infantry man for baccus as I had no young guard. (sorry peter) . As you can these figures are fully compatible."

They look marginally different in that high mag photo but based on the table, I imagine they would work really well.

I suspect, that Sparta says "size" but thought "style".
Same height but different width.
