How well to the 25mm figures from Old Glory mix with 28mm from Assault Group or Warlord? Looking to expand my Ottoman collection with some of their stuff |

I've done the math, to see just how tall a 28mm figure is, if a 1/72 scale, 25mm figure, is a 6-foot man: six feet = 72 inches, so 1/72 scale is not a 20mm figure, unless you want your Human Males to be all of 4 feet 9-1/2 inches tall! A 5-foot man would be 20.8 mm, or roughly 21 mm tall. So 1 mm does have an effect, being 2.4 inches in scale. I prefer 6-foot men, not 5-foot, or 4-foot 9-1/2 inches. If 25mm = 6 feet, then 28 mm = 6 feet 8-1/2 inches, in 1/72 scale. That assumes the 28 mm figure is actually 28 mm tall! It further assumes the 25 mm figure is actually 25 mm tall… A 32 mm tall figure would equate to a 7 foot 8-1/2 inch tall person! Vaguely related, a 54 mm tall figure would translate into a 13-foot tall person, and a 60 mm tall figure would translate into a 14 foot 5 inch tall person. Buy some sample figures, or find a photo with a millimeter scale showing the actual heights of the mini's, to see just how tall they really are. Base your decision upon that. More information than you wanted/needed, but there you go. Cheers! |

I have used a mix of both OG and TAG in my collection, they work fine together, I particularly like mounting the OG figures on TAG horses instead of the OG ones: link link |

They mix quite well then! Big fan of your blog as well, Malatesta. One of my go-to's. |

I agree with the two previous gentlemen. |

I am glad you have enjoyed it – quite a lot of stuff up on there recently about building an Ottoman army so I hope it helps. |

@Malatesta1500 i like your blog too. So, you bought extra TAG horses and chucked out the OG horses? I know what you mean, some of the saddles on some of the riders from OG dont quite sit properly on the horses. Plus, the horses can be a little runty. Did you ever use the OG Persian line? I was always curious what those figures looked like. |

Thanks MiniPigs – no I have never had a look at the Persian figures. I have a load of OG spare horses now – I am sure I will find a use for them at some point. |

You could always put bags on them and make them pack horses. |

A thing to consider is not only the height of the body but also the length of the musket or weapon. |
