I happen to have bought second hand minis from GW's Lord of the Rings range, so I took pictures this morning to compare the two ranges. After posting the answer in the forum, I thought this comparison might be interesting for some of you too.
Here you are the result:

The sizes are not so different between the two manufacturers, I must say that I was a bit surprised, but:
- the 1/72 minis are thinner
- the 1/72 minis look a bit taller than they actually are because they have their own base and I didn't remove it
- the pike of the Dark Alliance mini is much smaller - you can hardly call it a pike, but it is ok for fantasy gaming in my opinion
One picture to illustrate this:

By the way, please note that the Games Workshop Uruk Hai were painted as they appear on the pictures when I bought them, it's not my job :)
Hope you find this post useful. Please let me know if you are interested in more minis comparisons or reviews - since PSR does not review Fantasy minis, there may be something to do.
