Title: Reaper / Black Scorpion Size Comparison Pic?
Post by: Spooktalker on 29 July 2021, 06:22:27 PM
Like many of us, I'm the proud owner of a honking huge new pirate ship.  ;D And I'm eyeing the Black Scorpion figures to crew it and thinking about getting in on their sale before the end of the month.  But I'm in need of a comparison shot with Reaper figures to make sure they're compatible. Could I impose on a kind soul for such a pic?

Depends entirely on the Reaper line, but I do think Black Scorpion (only judging from my Old West minis) are on par with Reaper's larger heroic scale.  Reaper uses so many sculptors, that sizes can vary quite a bit.   Neither of them are small 25mm "old scale", etc.

Thanks, that's what I gathered but I really need to see it before I plunk down money, or at least get confirmation they are fairly consistently 32mm to the eyes. 30mm to the eyes and I might not go for it. Could you supply either of these?

Black Scorpion pirates are compatible with Firelock Games pirates.

Thanks! I haven't seen those, but they claim to be 28mm whereas Black Scorpion claims to be 32mm, so I don't know where this puts us.  ???

I did manage to find a few relevant pics here, though none show solid comparison with typical Reaper. Hoping someone can do better, but here's what I got so far:
