Size Comparison between Wargames Atlantic Late Romans and Gripping Beast's models

 

 

ahh, yes.......the usual suspects, indeed

        One of the reasons that people go on about the metric system is that it so standardized.......in my experience there seems to be either a significant growth in the size of a millimeter or a problem with its application in the world of toy soldiers. Thus we are forced to use highly unscientific instruments such as the MK. I Eyeball when measuring our models. My work around is to simply stand them up side-by-each and take a look. It has worked well for me in the past so I present a photographic record of my efforts for perusal .

 

I just threw these figures together in the most obvious poses

the number of spare bits that come in the box would allow a much greater variety in poses

 

 

 

next to a Late Roman Infantryman from Gripping Beast

swapping a few heads and shields would allow you to mix these in the same unit

 

 

as I have already painted one unit they will be kept as discrete formations in my collection

 

although, the more I read about the collapse of the Roman Empire 

there is a distinct chance that dregs of different units would end up fighting shoulder to shoulder

 

here is the whole crew with the ruler in sight

please note that the minis are mounted on US pennies which are about 2mm thick
