Morris Men are used offensively to good effect in Terry Pratchett's Discworld novel 'Lords and Ladies'.

I remembered some bit about Morris dancers from Blackadder, so was quite amused to actually see some at a small town event in Devon on my one and only trip to England.

Besides Dr. Who and Cthulhu scenarios, one could work in some Morris dancers into scenarios based on 18th Century smugglers or highwaymen, 17th Century swashbucklers or ECW, the X-files, UFO, the Avengers, or Dad's Army... and Blackadder, of course.

These are great - I just love them.

Anyone any idea how big they're likely to be? I suspect too big to fit in with anything I use but you never know.

They're by Gipping Beast so shouldn't be too big.

If it's any help, my Gripping Beast Vikings fit in perfectly with the Foundry equivalents and also the more modern Artizan Designs Vikings. They are also compatible in size with Copplestone etc.

Don't know anout the Mozzymen though, but from looking at GB figures I own, both old and new, they don't seem to be afflicted by the dreaded "scale creep" so should fit most "modern" 28s.
