So, I looked at the obvious culprits, GW, West wind and Blue Moon, but my eye is now looking at the Reaper range sold by Minifigs.

Any more around that look better?

...Reaper range sold by Minifigs...

I always buy my reaper figures from...

... because Tim imports direct from US.

Only the one, but I used the Copplestone Mummy

Apart from Bob Murch's Cairo Police, where are the rest of the minis from?

I mostly used the Reaper "Nefsokar" mummies by Bob Ridolfi. They are a bit larger than my Copplestone and Bob Murch but after cutting off their bases they matched up well. I bought a few other Reaper mummies but found them much too large for my taste vis a vis my Archaeologists and Cultists.

Thanks, guys. After a root through my Warhammer Quest box, I found enough GW figures to make a warband for now and will replace them later. I cut off the tabs and stuck them on the same coins as my figures and that solved the massive height issue.

Very nice those otherworld ones.

Best one in my humble opinion is the first gothic horror/curse of the mummy Mummy from Citadel miniatures, really captures the look for me, unarmed, bent and twisted and something about the head bandaging sculpt that really ozzes unlife:

You can still find them through ebay etc... (lifted this from a post on here in 2009, people really should use search a bit more often

).

Do you know "the size" of thesse Black Tree Design
FA0120 Mummies of Ramuteb II (3)

Bezzo sent me GW Curse of the Mummy set of figures, but they are tiny compared to newer 28mm figures.

Those Black Tree Design figures look nice.
