Phreedh, because I know you own the Undead model below (or a variant of it) does this image help?

 

By the way, Comsquare, nice PJ on the Dark Elf!

... Fantization are thieves ...

Is there any other retailers? A quick search on the net for "Red Box" always bring me back to their site :-[
A CANADIAN local hobby store with a small selection of historical wargames miniatures (mainly from Warlords). They also have a great selection of paint and hobby accessories from Vallejo, Army painter, AK Interactive, Green Stuff World and more.; https://www.kingdomtitans.ca/us/

Why not just buy from him (Tre @ Red Box)? Tre is mad fast, and a cool guy. This way he gets 100% of the $$ too.

I got mine direct in record time. I know he is wildly popular on Frothers, so shipping out of the US must not be a problem.

Give it a shot!

Looks like they'd fit with SLM Splintered Lands goblins and dwarfs size wise.

Maybe even fodder for custom Battlelore figures?

Do you have any SLM Splintered Lands figures or Battlelore figures that you could post a comparison of please? (if its not too much trouble).

I would be very grateful if you could.  :D

Cheers,
Ben.

Ben, I don't have any redbox minis but I have that Citadel skellie and a bunch of Splintered Lands minis (including goblins and dwarfs). I could shoot a comparison of those and superimpose it on Funghy's pic. Would give you an idea.

If it can help, here's a picture of my RBG dwarf crossbower alongside a 2 euros coin.

Here's a quick and fairly dirty comparison, I shot the two splintered lands minis (goblin and dwarf) together with the skeleton in Funghy's pic. I then lowered the opacity to 50% on mine, resized it until the skeletons were the same size and copied the Splintered Lands minis into Funghy's original pic.



While it's not perfect to the millimeter, I think it's safe to say the redbox goblins are roughly the same scale as the Splintered Lands minis!

That's fantastic thanks!

Its great to know they work well with each other (the SLM stuff works in well with Battlelore, so I dare say this Red Box stuff would too).

It does however put a cloud on the price for me though... SLM offer 6 figures for $6, whereas Red Box appear to start at $5 for one.

I daresay that even though the SLM have excellent detail, the Redbox ones have perhaps more... I don't know.

Really on the fence about this one. Its a shame, the Redbox stuff looks awesome.

Goes to show how wonky the scales are too! =D I would be fucking dissappointed if I bought a Red Box gobbo and when I got it it was smaller than an 18 mm goblin... Clearly Tre's vision of a goblin's stature differ from mine.

If you're interested in buying some, I believe LeadAsbestos might still have some of the dwarves.
