Other plastic minis compatible with D&D minis

[Fifth Element]

What other plastic minis are compatible with D&D, specifically in terms of scale?

There are some Heroscape figures that look like they would fit in nicely, but I'm having a hell of a time finding info about their scale.

What about Mage Knight? I know the bases are too large; the figures would have to be moved to smaller bases. But what about scale?

Are there any other prepainted plastic minis available that could work with D&D minis? I know that Reaper has released a few. Any others?

I posted these pic's in a thread not so long back... but here they are again

First, here's a few mage knight mini's that I've re-based (giant wasp & wolf mini's are on 40mm bases, the ghost-thing is on a standard 25mm/1" base):

And here's a few Dreamblade mini's (also re-based), with a D&D cleric mini thrown in for scale purposes:

Very nice. I had forgotten about Dreamblade.

What about the LotR tradeable miniatures game? What's the scale on those minis?

Those plastic orcs, skeletons and chaos warriors from the Hero Quest board game work.
I use them a lot. I wish I could find more on the net for a reasonable price. They are very simple... not too flashy but a step up from just using dice.

The LotR pre-painted mini's ('combat hex' I think they are called - or something like it) are a lot larger.

I got hold of a single Haradrim warrior for just such a purpose (i.e. to check the scale) and then tossed it straight in the bin

Yeah, I just googled it and they're apparently 40mm, which is 33% larger than D&D mini scale. Shame.

Kris:

If you don't mind me asking, how'd you convert those mage knight and Dreamblade minis? Mostly, I'm asking how you prepped them to put them on a base. Was it just some very careful cutting or something?

With Regards,

They're not prepainted, right? Not that that's a deal-breaker or anything, just a thought for anyone who wants a consistent look on the table.

Right. They are just solid colors. Orcs and goblins are all green. Skeletons and zombies are white. Chaos warriors are gray...

Though I suppose some (non-human) could be used as Large creatures...
