Medieval Russian Mixer!!

Hi all!
Has anyone tried mixing miniatures from Old Glory's Medieval Russian line with Mirliton's Alexander Nevskij Russians?
I'm planning on building a Later Russian army from EE and was going to use these minis principally. You can't beat Old Glory's price and the look of Mirliton's are superb. Has anyone tried it? How do they look together? Would anyone notice any differences at 15mm?
Thanks for any help!

i've used mirliton for my medievals, and they're a great figure.
the downside was sizing for different models, even within the same range!
so... you'll just have to try your luck, unless anyone else knows.
and an aside, the one trouble i found with mirliton is that the figures are sooo detailed they're actually kind of difficult to paint? you'd think detail would be a good thing, but some of the ranges have almost no nice flat surfaces at all. very small gripe though.

OT, thanks for the response.
I think I'm going to mix the Mirliton in with Old Glory and see what's what.
Funny that they're too detailed. I have a cure for that... my patented "sloppy drybrush" painting technique.
In any case, nicely sculpted minis can always be touched up. I just hope they don't look like giants/hobbits next to the Old Glory... remains to be seen. Thanks!

The better will be to make BGs with Old Glory and BGs with Mirliton.
For me the sculpting quality is too much different to mix on the same base.

I am using Essex post mongol russians for my Hungarian armoured bow/light spear superior Szelekers and they are great. The mirlitons nevsky ones should mix in fine as well.
