Hiya dudes, Just a quick random Question, think its in the right forum (kinda to do with modeling sizes)

I've been looking into alternative skel's since the price hike (£15 for 10x skel's is a rip off gw!!) and i really like the look of the Mantic Kings of War Skel's (at £10 x 20models is good)

Just wondered if any one knew the size comparisons with the GW skel's. Because of the new rules i need to expand me 20strong unit, do you think they'd mix semi ok in a large unit of 40? 20/20 of each?

I only ever have games with friends / FLGS so more the size/look i worried about rather than being legit for tournie's.

Cheers!!!

Ah, those are the Mantic Skeletons. I have 20 and I like them a lot. They are more "true-scale" than the GW models so smaller weapons, hands, and heads but they have a ton of detail and are easy to put together.

I have about 20 but since I also use GW skeletons I've done some head and weapon swaps to get them better integrated to my GW style skeletons. Check out my gallery to see some side by side examples of GW and Mantic Skeletons.
