Actually, the Ral Partha Fantasy figs (Including the SR line) are actually
25 mm, I believe...
As opposed to GW's 30+ mm scale that pretends to be 28 mm :]

I've found them useful only during Demo's at the cons, TBH... Though there
have been a few instances when having some of my own would have been handy
in my RL games... <shrug> On the rare occasion I feel it necessary to use
some kind of Miniature Representation, the little 6 mm d6's work out just
fine...
Though I probably would pick up some of the mini's if I had the extra $$.
