Are these good refferences of scale for human, elf and goblin for Oldhammer miniatures, or ar they "too modern"?
Is this the scale?

These are not Oldhammer figures in my view. The human is a Catachan and not really representative. They’re called mini Ogryns (40K speak for Ogres) in the fluff.
If you can give some idea of what you want references for, I’m sure we can help. If it’s for More sculpts for Mordheim, for example, I’ll gladly take some photos for you.

That's exactly what I was thinking about. I was thinking about what band I could do next or what mercenaries, but first I need figures as refferences.

Are these good examples of a golbin and an orc?

FYI, GW didn’t release Orc and Goblin figures for Mordheim beyond a few casualties. Players mostly used plastic Warhammer 5th or 6th edition figures for the warbands.
I will take some photos of some Mordheim figures for you, but I’ll need a few days. You’ll notice a difference depending on the sculptor. The main sculptors for the initial Mordheim releases were the Perry Bros and Dave Andrews and their creations are quite different in heft. Gary Morley, Brian Nelson & Colin Dixon created some parts of the range and their styles are rather distinctive too.

Well, if we are talking about the Mordheim scale, then it might be 6th edition of Warhammer, and around, because that was the moment it was released, but I want the figures to fit with oldhammer, if possible.

Oldhammer means different things to different people. For me, it’s the glory days of slotta based figures from circa 1985 to 1989. Most of those figures are pretty small compared to modern figures or even Mordheim ones.
Some pictures, as promised, below. The grid is 10mm and the sculptor is in brackets.
Warhammer Dwarf (Colin Dixon?) versus Mordheim Dwarf Trollslayer (Colin Dixon), Sister of Sigmar (Gary Morley) & Possessed Brethren (Dave Andrews)
Warhammer Dwarf (Colin Dixon?) versus Mordheim Aenur the Elf (Brian Nelson) & Reiklander champion (Michael Perry)
Warhammer Dwarf (Colin Dixon?) versus Mordheim Reiklander young blood (Michael Perry) & Witch Hunter Captain (Dave Andrews)

Thanks. Could you make a photo of an elf or a human with an oldhammer elf or human?

Thanks. It isn't a BIG difference, but it's enough to be obvious.

You’re welcome.
With regards to warbands, I’d go for one of the official ones that is hard to find suitable figures for elsewhere. Kislevites, for instance. Distinct individuals rather than uniform, regimented types and not too many guns would be nice.
Some of the official hired swords who’ll work for lots of the warbands might be a good idea to start with e.g. the pit fighter, the Ogre bodyguard and the warlock.sergus_miniatures":638gaig7 said:
