Those figures are large 1/72 scale figures. There is also a HaT Frankish warrior all blurry in the foreground in another picture.<br />Hope that answers any scale questions you have.<br />JohnJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580996687227953658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180866730410451796.post-70362966921634449692017-11-08T08:10:34.126-08:002017-11-08T08:10:34.126-08:00Thanks John, that´s a brilliant list.

I've found hobbits in 15mm ranges are oversized for the scale. I just recently found "15mm" wraiths by Old Glory 15s/19th Century miniatures. They are part of the Black Raven Foundry range. While billed as 15mm, they are actually closer to 20mm...perhaps a tad smaller than 1/72 scale figures. My son and I have used them in gaming. They do look great. Dunlandings could be Celts, Vikings, Saxons or any other European culture that features foot troops. Haradrim? Sassanid Persians from HaT? For Ents, there are plenty of 28mm models out there that would look just fine with 1/72 scale figures. For Barrow Wights, I suspect the Caesar Undead box would do nicely. There are some "boss" skeletons that should fit the bill in that set. Blood Dawn miniatures have some great looking Dwarves, including Dwarves on Rams! These were also over-sized for the scale. They work well with the Splintered Light miniatures metal Dwarves which were also over-sized.<br />Keep up the great work!<br />JohnJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580996687227953658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180866730410451796.post-46470667947774667642017-11-05T07:30:08.788-08:002017-11-05T07:30:08.788-08:00A terrible creature

The Trolls are 5cm´s tall (a head Shorter than the demons) In real size, 12 and a half feet. They are described in the books as being 10 to 18 feet tall, so they fit into that size range.
