When I saw the title of this thread, I thought "well, Techno's bragging again".

He is not really bragging it Games Workshopitus

All those years working for the Evil Empire  makes the employees exaggerate.  You know how they call 15 Space Marines an army and 43 figures a Mega Army!!

Same with Techno  - He thinks he is making 28mm figures, that's how he gets them so detailed. :)

I 'learned to ride' (lol!) on a 19.3 HH Shire...whose sole aim in life was to munch his way to 20 Hands. I now have very long arms.

And yet people worry endlessly about whether Pendraken figures look out of scale next to Kallistra ones....

Until recently we had a large number of colleagues fron India.  Most were significantly slighter and shorter than us. Quite a few the top of thier heads barely reached my chest. and I am only 6 foot.

Coincidently, I'm currently reading about Albert Cashier in "The Irish in the American Civil War." Cashier enlisted in the 95th Illinois and was only 5ft 3ins tall. Then again, 'his' real name was Jennie Hodgers ...

A fair point, particularly in pre-firearm eras (firearms, of course, in real life would be the same size regardless of the height of the bearer).
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Did that horse pose for the ones in the Thessalian cavalry set? They're intimidating great juggernauts; hope they won't dwarf my Newlines Hetairoi.

Ironically, I think I've got to bite the bullet and make a new 'big' horse for the Dragon men.  X_X
