Hi guys, as the question says above.

However, the model I'm thinking of getting is the female ranger, crouching on the ground, so I guess that would look alright, but for the others?

Thanks,

By definition a 32mm will be of larger scale than a 28mm, but to be honest I think many of GW's newer models look too big compared to older ones, so the difference on the table may not be obvious.

I have some Mithril stuff and the sizes are all over the map. Mithril put out a couple of different lines over the years. I have some figures that would fit right in with GW and some that would be way too large. And there are some that are close enough.

Of course you could trick the eye by using smaller bases. File the bottoms of the slotta bases down a bit.

So there is no real answer for you. It's pretty much a case by case basis.

The size variation between GW plastics and metals has been so great especially a few years ago that Mithril minis just look like a bit taller individuals. Most importantly their head to body ratios and general realism is about the same as GW minis so in my opinion they look a lot better among them than big headed 28 mm minis with wide sword blades. But as Nevinsrip said, their 32 mm ranges vary in size.

BTW, I almost always cut away the original Mithril base to get them more on the same level as GW models.

I have Bard the Bowman and he fits in pretty well. Just a tall man.
