I really like that rook. The others are okay. What scale are they?

See, I thought the rook was significantly bigger than 25mm, like 41mm or something, and the rest were 35mm, which makes 'em on the tall side. Can't remmber where I read that though.
I've long thought about how to use the rook for dastardly, steampunk purposes.

the phot says not to scale, so I guess the only way is to email them or do an analysis of base sizes.
from base sizes I think the rook is taller than the king.

Revelation Website reports that they are "32mm Scale". I have no way to know what that means. Presumably, the human figures are around 32mm. As the Rook is not quite a couple of bucks more expensive, I'm going to assume it's somewhat larger.
The Rook would go great with that Wyrd Miniatures steampunk sorcerer and his spider-like steam familiar. Sweet stuff.

These are ridiculously awesome, and a must-have if you play Warmachine or Iron Kingdoms.

I'm not a fan of the identical pawns, even if they're identicle in a real chess set. They'd have been better with a multipart format and lots of options.
