I'm wondering if anyone has used any components from the Wyrd Miniatures line of figures with GW figures and how well the scales match up.  I know GW's figures tend to be over sized in their proportions for 28mm, and I'm wondering how close they come to Wyrd miniatures "true" 32mm scale?  The main reason I'm asking is because I really like some modern weapons on Wyrd's weapons sprue( see below) and was considering using them with some GW figures.

Similar, I'd love to use some of these with some HeroClix figs, but I'm sure they're way too big.  If any one can recommend some good alternative weapon sprues for use with HeroClix, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!
Keith

Wyrd's Viktoria, Sword Maiden, looks just a touch taller than some of my other GW Eschers. So, she's just a really tall ganger, really. Particulalry considering that the Escher sculpts are pretty old. And when you compare it to the stuff I am using from Foundry, Copplestone, Hasslefree, Freebooter, and even an old Palladium Rifts figure, it just makes them look like gang women of different height, much like real life.

But most of my current Space marines aren't any taller than my Imperial Guard Cadians, (which they should be), so it really isn't too big of a deal to me.
