The heavy infantry's shields are a good deal larger than those carried by the medium infantry, which further highlights the contrast in model size. In my view the medium infantry's shields could stand to be a bit larger, and the heavy's shields should defintitely be smaller.
The scale difference won't stop me from using them together. There are a few tricks to making the heavies look taller, and I might try trimming their shields. Still, it's a shame that all of Hat's Late Roman offerings weren't sculpted with the same proportions.

very informative, more please as you get to them.
I have both sets, hadn't really compared them, but now that i have, i must say that the Heavy infantry stands out and is more to my taste than the medium and light infantry...
Will do! Sometimes I think that I am being too picky with the size difference. I have alot of boxes in my closet. I'll see if can make some other useful comparisons.
Initially, I preferred the medium infantry's sculpting. Their style is similar to 28mm models. But, as I started painting I noticed the detail is lacking. So I like their size, but am not too impressed with the detail. Hat must have hired a new sculptor.
Andy check out the following site which appears to specialise in size comparisons

I have the medium infantry and have seen the heavy infantry but not together. I would agree that the detail is softer on the medium infantry, probably because of the plastic used. However, I should think they will work just fine together.
