I have a modern Call of Cathluh/Delta Green game and a Traveller game going.

Over the last year +, I have been purchasing miniatures to go for those games. I started with mostly Reaper miniatures, but then started getting other minis – some from other companies, some printed from Etsy. I quicly realized the Reaper miniatures tend to be larger (there are a few minis or lines that are 28mm or even smaller, but most are noticeably larger than other 28mm miniatures)

I have started having the minis I get from Etsy printed up to a 30mm scale, and that seems to be closer to the normal Reaper size.

Now, however, my daughters want to play in a gaslight wild west setting. There are some minis from Reaper for the Wild West that easily fit in with the modern sic fi (I can use then in the Traveller game for colonists on remote 'desert' worlds pulling in a Firefly feal for the game). However, the gaslight is a bit harder to fill.

I just stumbled onto some West Wind, Crusader, Artizan & North Star minis, that would work nicely. However, I am not sure on how well their 28mm fits with the Reaper ones.

I have seen some RAFM minis too, but if I remember correctly they are smaller than the Reaper minis.

Does anyone here have a comparison ?

Also, are there any other companies that have Wild West or Gaslight type minis that fit close to the Reaper size minis ?

Many of the earlier RAFM are closer to 25mm (at least the ones I've got) so I doubt they will work well with the taller Reaper ones. Unless of course you want them to be teenagers or pre-tens. grin
