Hey yeah does anyone have any of those Gripping Beast saxons and/or vikings? If so, what are the sizes like? I'd really like to see them side-by-side with a few LotR minis to get an idea of how well they scale together, if someone could snap a quick pic that would be most appreciated.

I have the Gripping Beast plastic vikings box, and the miniatures fit very well alongside GW LotR figures. They are about the same size as the metal figures (28mm scale). Sorry I don't have any pics.

That link might help. Scroll down for a picture. I think that plastic viking is GB, and I know the metal guy is.

Some of the GB heads are oversized. Others are ok. If you switch them with Rohan heads I think you can get away with some of them.

cheers, that's really helpful!

they seem to be sculpted to historical scale with heroic scale heads? weird. that headswap with the rohan warrior looks fantastic though.
