i have some @8mm Historic miniatures i want to use for AOS perviously i used them as empire for Warhammer fantasy . my question is would you allow someone to play fully painted and based minis sligtly shorter than the publishged ones? i will alwaysgive my opponents the benjifit of doubt as if they were taller.

Yes...
That's it just yes I would.
Heck I'd love to do an empire army out of Perry Plastics

i love my vikings... lots of metal standard bearers ...i have just over 100 of them based and primed black... gonna spend a week and work on them

Yep we have a couple people in our group that do just that, and they are on square bases to boot.

I've seen lots of frostgrave barbarians with extra chaos shields as marauders.

I say go for it.

Unless you're planning on playing at a GW store (and even then, some don't mind) or most "official" tournaments, you should be fine. Many official events (and even semi-official) and GW stores require GW-only models, but at random FLGS usually it isn't a problem.
