HeroQuest skeletons - are any other skeletons in scale?

I've been painting some heroquest minis to play the game with my son, and at the moment I'm working on the skeletons. Now, the leering skeletons with their scythes may well be my favourite miniatures in the box. But they seem massive compared to other skeletons, so the possibility of adding others to plausibly stand alongside them (e.g. skeleton archers) seems limited.

Maybe I just don't really know enough about skeletons (the only others I have are from the 1988 skeleton army, and they really do seem tiny next to the HQ skellies. Has anybody come across any skeletons that scale well and look the part next to the HQ skeletons?
 
i have no personal experience with either, but have heard that wargames atlantic skeletons are on the large side.
perhaps worth looking for some comparison photo's.
 
5th edition skeletons got thicker bones and are overall fatter then 4th edition plastics. 5th edition is also fatter then current skeletons. I never seen HQ skeletons in "person", just comparing what is on the shelf.

I remembered that I saw somewhere... anywho unidentified skeleton is 5th edition plastic skeleton or one of those 4 in small 5GBP box that GW used to have for sale.
