Privateer Press/ Hordes models too big?

[Barn Owl]

I've been looking through their "legion of everblight" models and half of those guys would make AWESOME vamps / undead cultists, etc. But the base sizes are 30mm, versus 20.

I googled for Warhammer conversions but can't find any good images that give you a sense of scale (just Hordes models mounted on square bases). I am tempted to buy just one model and see if it'll fit on a 20mm base without looking proportionally out of place next to my GW models.

If anyone owns or has seen any of these models in person, I'd appreciate your help! Thank you!

Thanks very much! I've scoured the alt retailer thread in Dying and nothing has really blown me away quite like the Everblight units.

I'm planning on painting them so that they can fill dual roles; either beefing up my VC army to 2K or acting as a 1K DE force (the Typhon could serve as a Zombie Dragon / Terrogheist or a War Hydra, for example).

I was thinking of subbing basically everything save for the Black Ark Corsairs and Fellheart, if I find a place for him (Raptors for Cold One Riders, the Typhon for a War Hydra, Spawning Vessel for a Cauldron of Blood). I also want to work in the 40K Mandrakes somewhow; shame they're so expensive, or I'd perhaps make them the default 'dark elf warrior' model...

They're the same scale, though they tend big in the same way that 40k models tend big.

If you're picking up the models, why not give the game a shot too? Warmachine/Hordes is a lot of fun. If you're feeling particularly motivated, you can magnetize the bases so you can use the models for both.

You can get away with 30mm if the model is appropriate I think. I found these Wraiths a bit to late to need to pick any up but I think they are fantastic 30mm hero scale.

As a side note, the PP bases are the round lipped ones, and they tend to be pretty close in size for a 25mm base for the center section

Thanks! I ordered a bunch of square bases from eBay to satisfy my compulsive behavior, but I was thinking the round ones could be glued together to create some sort of spherical spaceship. : )
