How does the Empress stuff scale up against the TAG modern British? Has anyone any comparison shots?

No need for photos ... the TAG stuff is way bigger and beefier ... I have some TAG Taliban and use one as a BIG hero character and a kneeling one as it doesn't look too 'off' until you look closely. The others are a no go really.

Empress fits in well with the Brook stuff from Old Glory although the Empress ones have finer detail.

British troops from TAG are less oversized than the talibans (different sculptor, Seth Nash for the initial modern  lines  :'(  Richard Ansell for the others  8) )

Thanks chaps, I knew that the TAG taliban and U.S. are big and chunky but I knew the Brits were much better and slimmer sculpts. The Ansell TAG sculpt looks fine next to Red Star figures on their web gallery so I was hoping the Empress stuff would go well with them.

Didn't Seth Nash previously sculpt for Lego?
