I know this is probably a tired old question but are there any pics that show the scale difference between the makes, for eg I have bought two armies from irregular mins but if I buy from a different maker I don’t want it to look like adults belting up children. Any direction on this will be much appreciated.

You raise a good point. Not all figures of the same alleged size are 100% compatible. Figures from different manufacturers can sometimes happily share the same base, some can be in the same army but look strange on the same base, some would be okay as opponents but you may not want them in the same army. Occasionally, you may get armies opposing each other where the figure size difference is really noticeable. However, a manufacturer's figures may vary from range to range. If you are interested in a particular army then you might be as well to mention what you are interested in. There is a reasonable chance that someone would help. You would be wise to say what figure size you are interested in, as Irregular Miniatures do a lot different figure sizes. Although 15mm is the most common size for DBA, there are plenty of 6mm and 25/28mm armies out there (and some 10mm and 20mm armies).
In general, most 15mm figures that I have seen would be okay as opponents in separate armies, at least. With 6mm, unless you know which manufacturers you can mix, you are generally better sticking to the same manufacturer. With 25/28mm figures, there is a huge variation in size.

There are a few on you tube, mad axeman does it on his site as well. As I love Xyston and Corvus Belli figs they def need bigger figs to fit in.
Nothing wrong with smaller fig manufacturers but they just dont do it for me.
My Xyston light horse and Magister Militum Cataphracts really dont look right next to each other.

Go here: theminiaturespage.com/boards/index.mvSearch for the string "compatibility" under "titles"
Lots of relevant threads, some with images. However, note the search engine will list the oldest first, so you have to go the the bottom of the hits page and click on "search more" until you get some more recent threads.
