Reaper / Black Scorpion Size Comparison Pic?
« on: July 29, 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.
Victory is guaranteed to the last man standing, but always remember those whom you stepped on to get there!!

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:
