Female Hero scale

Does anyone have any of the female heroines from Zealot, how well do they scale with HQ miniatures?

I thought they were the same scale as he made them to be compatible with HQ. Thantos owns Zealot, you can shoot him a PM and he'll get back to you. Just keep in mind he recently finished a Kickstarter that he's been trying to fulfill so it may take him a couple of days.

The scale is slightly larger. I don't have the females in hand yet from this Kickstarter, but the other models from it are a little larger but thinner, meaning more realistic proportions

A HQ-fan friend's daughter asked is father "why aren't there any girls in the heroes?". She had a point, and I got myself some Zealot Miniatures - now my own daughter can choose if she wants male or female hero for each class :)

I have received them this week, here are the pics, with HQ miniatures to scale:

Yes, I chose Arline the Adventurer instead of Alenia the Elf Archer, because I didn't like the idea of a bow-only elf for HQ, plus, Alenia is standing on a single foot, I feared that manipulate her while playing might lead to some damaging issues.
Arline is slightly out of scale, a little bit bigger than the other ones. She comes with a 4cm round base instead of the usual 2.5cm. I had to get one of my own spare 2.5 ones there.

She is extremely well made. The assembly of the hands holding the two-handed weapon is surprisingly easy to set.

:dwarf:

Now that's a big dwarf :)

:wizard:

The hands holding the book and staff are very tiny and delicate pieces to glue. Do not tremble while assembling :)

:elf:

As I said, slightly off scale and "giant elf", especially compared to the stout elf from HQ. Anyway, still nice.


Before you ask: yes i glued them without painting them. I am a terrible painter, and getting a bit old to spend the time (and the money on the paint itself :)) on this. I don't have issue with unpainted figures ;)
Clearly, if you plan on painting them, glue them afterwards!

I thought it was incredible difficult to glue the female magician, too. Wow how often I tried and every time the book was on the floor again afterwards!
