Following on from a comment in the Villager and Townsfolk size comparisons thread, here are some photos showing Mordheim figures with Dunkeldorf and Otherworld ones. Click on 'em to embiggen.

FWIW, Dave Andrews’ Mordheim figures are noticeably chunkier than the figures the Perrys sculpted for the range.

The Otherworld cultist range went to Dark Fable Miniatures which were later taken on by Dragon Bait Miniatures. Fenris Games is a stockist though they often don’t have everything available. The Otherworld berserkers are now available from Crooked Dice.

Edit. Shown on 10mm grid.

I think the Perrys did say they prefer more 'realistic proportions' to there figures, and much less overly muscly too.

Which is fine for Marienburgers and other fops, but Middenheimers are supposed to be big units. In comparison, the cultists are much more strapping even allowing for their pointy hats.

Nice. Both ranges seem to have minis that are really good match with GW's 28mm scale, but there's also quite big differences within ranges themselves. Thanks for taking the pics, think I'll have to invest in some Dunkeldorf stuff at some point (and hope they'll fit with my other stuff!).

You're welcome.

King Games have done a great job with their Dunkeldorf range in just a few short years. It's large, whimsical and diverse with lots of scenery and animals, but it's clear that the inspiration is RPGs and especially WFRP. That said, you could run a decent urban skirmish game already using just their figures.

They definitely have and I dig a whole lot that feel and look of WFRP characters their minis have. Besides that, many of their minis would indeed make good fit for Mordheim just as you've demonstrated. I've had King Games on my bookmarks for a long, long time and one conversion idea I've had for years now would be changing the shovel of this guy into an axe or mace, paint bucket filled with blood and hey presto; Mordheim dreg carrying their master's/mistress' dinner.

Sounds good. Be sure to share photos when you get around to doing it.
