Most I've seen are smaller and more slender due to a) being more true to 28mm scale and b) having more realistic body proportions.

That said, it isn't impossible to use some of them. You just have to double check everything to be sure it looks right.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513792/5384974.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513792/5384974.page GMT Re:Scale of Reaper minis ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513792/5384988.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513792/5384988.page GMT Re:Scale of Reaper minis

last thing,
What are they cast in? Metal, resin or plastic?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513792/5385358.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513792/5385358.page GMT Re:Scale of Reaper minis

Snide answer: Yes.

More thorough answer: Depends on the line. Currently the default for *most* Reaper minis is white metal. They have a number of plastic and plasti-vinyl minis, with the latter expanding greatly in short order. I believe the model details on the Reaper website lists what a model is manufactured out of.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513792/5385560.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513792/5385560.page GMT Scale of Reaper minis
For chronoscape, which is where I assume you will be looking for most of your Inq28 figures, you will find that they are generally slightly taller and more slender than your GW figures, if you use a Cadian as a base. If you (correctly) are eschewing Cadians due to their terrible scale issues, you might have some issues with the sizes. (and Bobby Jackson sculpted figures tend to be huge)

As for their material, there should be a good number of them available in the "Bones" plastic soon, so it might be worth waiting if you want any of those figures. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513792/5386889.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513792/5386889.page GMT Scale of Reaper minis
Though if you look around on the Reaper site, you will see several things that help you figure it out to some extent. The first being the marks on the edge of pictures.

http://www.reapermini.com/graphics/gallery/4/50283_w_1.jpg

The first mark is 1/2 inch and the second is 1 inch from the table top (keep in mind that will count the base height). Those marks are on most figures, but not all of them.

The second and most helpful is the Reaper forum. If you ask over there for a comparison picture you will likely get one between something common like an IG figure and the miniature you want to buy. The Reaper customers are pretty helpful that way...and if none of the customers are able to help, fromtime to time one of the Reaper staffers will grab one from the warehouse and measure it.

All that said, there is some huge variability depending on who the sculptor is, what line it is and the phase of the moon. A figure like Andrew Rae's spy is almost a true 25mm figure.

One of Bobby Jackson's figures are closer to 32mm.

They also have their Reich of the Dead figures which wers created to be closer to 1/48 scale to be compatible with plastic models from companies like Tamiya.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513792/5386985.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513792/5386985.page GMT Scale of Reaper minis
Some Reaper Chronoscope figs can sometimes tower over GW. They tend to be close to 32mm to the eye. I've got a "Rex Future hero" (i.e. Mad Max) and he is really tall and a Rosie Cryotechnician (i.e. Kaylee) that is a bit taller than a cadian Guardsman..

The fantasy "Dark Haven Legends" figures tend to bee near GW in height though as others have mentiond there is variation. There's alot of figures in there that would be great in inquisimunda with a weapon swap or two.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513792/5389872.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513792/5389872.page GMT
