Well back to the drawing board. Ignore everything I've said in this thread up to this point.

The gray figures are 1/72 scale, aren't they? So what scale are HeroQuest figures? 1/32?

This minis conversion page has scale information for you. I'd say Hero Quest figures are 1/58 or 1/60.

But how do you know who uses what measuring method? I wasn't sure if Game Crafter meant "50mm from base to highest point" or "50mm from base to center of the eye" so I bought some things to find out myself. Turns out it's the former.

They could be used as halflings or some kind of imp :|

Not sure it'd work too well, due to their proportions. Maybe with some of the Redbox miniatures sets I mentioned.

I went on a buying rampage and bought all these from ebay one weekend, but I have absolutely no clue what WOTC product line these go to. I have looked everywhere but cant find anything about them. These were cheap and I have created some monster cards for them using drathe's templates. Maybe someone can tell me where these came from.

They work quit well and are somewhat scaled to the right size for HQ. We like them.

Those are some nice figures. I'd really like to know what they come from too.

I especially like the dragon baby, the wizard guy and the wolf from the first pic, the snake from the second pic and the giant from the third pic.

They look like some sort of D&D miniatures. I have seen some of them before and have one as well will post a pic of it later today as I am having my lunch at the moment

The troll is from D&D I think, so they probably all are.
