Anyone wishing to take images of these figures and put them up on their website including manufacturers or online retailers of these figures are free to do so. Just please be courteous and give a link back to my site. I used a scanner to get these images and blew up the images 300% so they should all be the same size except for the donated images.

I'm not very good at painting figures, I just prime them and paint one color and sometimes I give them a single wash of ink. I'm not really interested in making beautiful figures I just make them so I can game with them.

I'll line up the same kinds of figures from various manufacturers to see how they look next to one another. I've found that measuring from the bottom of the base to the eye is not terribly reliable with figures in this scale. You must also take thickness of the figures, figure base and the style into consideration, which can vary greatly.

I will give the average height of the figures, width compared to other manufacturers of the same figures, rumors I have heard on various internet sites, and my personal opinions of the figures. I will use 3 sizes for width, skimpy, medium, and bulky. The most compatible figures from different manufacturers will be the ones that have similar heights, widths and design styles.

The infantry figures are based on the bases they come attached to superglued to a thin, 15mm square sheet metal base. This way you can place them on magnetic movement trays to move them around easier. I personally use the sign magnets you can buy at Staples. These magnets are thick enough that you don't need to glue them to cardboard. If figures seem a little too tall you can always file down their bases to shorten their height or you can bend some of the skimpier ones such as skeletons by the mid-torso region to make them crouch a little.
