Scale question

Hi, i am impressed with the quality of the miniatures i see here. That said before i do buy some i'd need to know the real scale they are cast in. Let's say, compared to the "cartoony" fantasy 28-30 of games workshop, how do these compare when put side by side?...

Any chance of Tom expanding the Ploogak range? What a fantastic chess set it would make!! He already has the King, Queen, and two other figures done (Pawn & Knight?). The Jester could be the Bishop. Not too many other figures needed.
