The Baueda figures are a touch smaller than the Mirliton Communal range, though the difference isn't as noticeable as with the Mirliton Arabs.
Thanks, that's useful to know :)

I should also mention Khurasan now have another bunch in their 13C range. These are a mix of armoured and unarmoured types, and I believe this is one of the ranges that are decidedly on the large end of 15mm figures.

How about these from ERM? https://shop.eastridingminiatures.co.uk/el-cid--early-crusades-42-c.asp Pictures at the bottom of the page don't match the description apart from the Spnaish archer reaching for arrow.
They look similar to the Outpost figures - same designer perhaps - and my Outpost Crusaders mix fine with Mirliton.

The shop is currently closed though - looks like he is out of materials.

I have just received some of these, having rather rashly bought enough for the army without seeing a sample first.
Luckily, they aren't oversized. I have just tried them against a Donnington NE Viking I happened to have to hand, and they are a very good match. One of the Saracens is a touch larger, but not ridiculously so.

Thanks, that's good to kow. I've been happy to mix DNE with Mirliton Communals, so sounds like they'd be a good option then.
