I popped into my FLGS today and to my surprise and delight found that they now stocked Anima Tactics and Malifaux minis, which are both ranges I was looking at picking up models from.
After taking home an Anima Tactics model though, I found that despite it being described as 28mm, it was a lot taller than other models with similar scales.

As I was intending to use the Anima Tactics model in the same Necromunda gang as other Hasslefree models, the disparity in size could be an issue.
If I remember rightly, I measured the Anima Tactics model at 33mm to the eyes, and the Hasslefree model at 26mm to the eyes.


I'm thinking the best way to mitigate this is to have the shorter models on taller bases. Most of the body parts are the same size, but the Anima model has much longer legs and a longer torso - so putting the others on higher platforms should help them blend in.

tl;dr Anima Tactics minis are taller than some other ranges, bear it in mind if you plan to mix them with other ranges.

Whilst I'm at it, does anyone have any size comparisons for reaper and malifaux minis?
