I completed these last night and was able to get some pictures taken:

Nice! I've got some Red Box Dwarves waiting to be painted at the moment. The best 28mm fantasy miniatures on the market.

[Engel]

Really great miniatures you got there.

I couldnt agree more.

[Vauln]

Yes, yes they are.

[morrisbh]

Fabulous

[Chambersofminiatures]

Very nice.

Thanks everyone!  I agree, RBG are some of the best fantasy miniatures on the market.

I love the figures, pretty much all of the redbox lines.  However, they are not compatible in size to anything I have and that's a darn shame.  I'd have them all otherwise...ESPECIALLY the dwarves.

This is a common complaint leveled at RBG and whilst I fully appreciate where it's coming from, I think one of the aspects I appreciate about the range is precisely that it is not designed to be compatible with GW miniatures unlike virtually every other fantasy manufacturer out there. I think that eschewing this common and frankly tiresome look look is part of what makes the range so distinctive and, for me at least, attractive. I have based my 28mm fantasy skirmish collection around Red Box stuff and after a little online investigation have found a number of manufacturers that produce compatible miniatures. And yes, the Dwarves are lovely: I can't wait to start painting mine.

Exactly how are they not compatible? Too big, too small, too....? I like some of them as add-ons for my Arthurians (Morgan Le Fay etc). Any further clarification gratefully received!

Too small to play nice with most of the usual suspects (citadel, partha, reaper).

Some of Tre's old goblins were as small as those Bob Olley sculpted for Splintered Lights 15/18/20mm Splintered Lands range. Some find it refreshing, I find it annoying. Same thing with Otherworld. If I was getting back into miniatures now, and didn't already have a huge collection I would go Otherworld, RBG and sprinkle with a generous helping of the classic Julie Guthrie sculpts she did for Grenadier - they should match nicely.

How do you think they would work with Perry and Fireforge miniatures?
I've got a Otherworld Fighter(the variant) and he is about the same size, but the proportions are a bit different.

I've got a Otherworld Fighter(the variant)

I'm sure someone can provide a scale shot with the OW fighter next to some Red Box minis, and then you'd be able to determine if they fit Perry and Fireforge (none of which I'm familiar with in the flesh). I don't have any of either, as I sold them off after getting samples.

That's very helpful. I've got some Guthrie Grenadier minis lying around somewhere, so I'll scale off them.

Thanks,
