Those Artizan mini's seem very much to scale with GW.

I have a request to anyone that can help -  I bought a box of Perry Plastic European Merc's. I would love to know how they look scale-wise beside Artizan Landsknechts or Swiss before I invest in a unit. I just have a horrible feeling they wont match as my Perry models seem pretty slim.

I have checked this thread and I can't seem to find an image of the Perry plastics standing beside said Artizan Landsknechts / Swiss.

Thanks if you can help!

I'll do that for you as soon as possible (i.e. when I am in the same building as my figures!). Possibly this afternoon.

Thanks Padre, that would be great!

On a semi-side note, coud anyone suggest any particular range that fits very well with Perry plastics? They do seem to be slimmer than most in these pictures. I really dont want to order a load of models only to find they look daft. (as has happened me before!)

Some general size across manufacturers, that I originally created for questions about Red Box Games on other forums but thought I'd share in case any of you are interested in his stuff. Good selection though not much standard empire styling, quite a bit of ideas for alternate themes.


Hasslefree Human Female, RBG human female, Otherworld Skeleton, GW halberdier.


Hasslefree dwarf, RBG dwarf, RBG dwarf, 90s GW halfling, 80s GW dwarf


RBG human, 80s GW, RBG elf, 90s GW


RBG human, LotR human

that LOTR's human archer is a very good substitute for an araby army. Not too big a deal they are smaller since its a different theme.

this photograph was posted before. In response of this I actually ordered a regiment of them...


as you can see of the models holding the halberd with the axe-head behind and over the helmet are a crime waiting to happen.  The hands on the halberd do not line with the places where they should be and...  the gap between the hands (on the halberds) and the arms/wrist (on the model) are not the same.
Buying these will get you into pinning every halberd into place (yep every-single-one-of them) and also the spearlike tips behind the axe are very fragile, I had to pin at least 7 (out of 21)
Not that I discourage anyone to start with them.. in the end it is worth it, but still be warned. This are not the edition 8 click-and-play minis, You need some zkills on these figures.

Does anyone have or can make a comparison shot between GW statetrooper (6th/7th ed) and these guys....

http://wargamesfactory.com/webstore/hammer-of-the-gods/viking-huscarls

...or even better with some chaos marauders (knowing that marauders are of course bigger).

Those vikings look like good value for money...so might risk buying one anyway....but a comparison shot would be sweet.

And also....has anyone tried these ?....are they for real?  http://www.fireforge-games.com/index.php

No problem. Yeh they aren't quite as bulky but the height and proportions in general fit pretty good. Wouldn't want to mix them in with a games workshop unit apart from maybe free company, but they don't look out of place im my army in their own units.

I actually purchased these for this guy in Serbia (long story). So they certainly were for real 6 months ago anyway...

Can someone please make a comparison shots between miniatures/bits from Perry Miniatures "Mercenaries" or "Wars of the Roses Infantry", Warlord Games "Pike and Shotte Royalist Infantry" and Wargames Factory Viking Huscarls? Or at least Perry Mercenaries/Pike and Shotte Royalist Infantry and Perry Mercenaries/Viking Huscarls? I'm mostly concerned about size ratio of Perry/Pike and Shotte bodies and Perry/Viking hands and heads.

I can't take a picture because I'm in the middle of moving house. But I own both and the vikings are the same size as the classic "soldiers of the empire" box (i believe these are 6th/7th state troopers)

allthough the wargames factory vikings are fantastic I can assure you the Gripping Beast viking hirdmen are vastly superior to those. http://www.grippingbeast.com/product.php?ItemID=2531. The amount of detail and options far outweighs. They are also slightly more bulky what makes for better marauder replacements. I use both boxes intermixed as marauder replacements.
Also, if you compare a wargames factory sword next to gw (or gripping beast) sword the wargames facotry weapons look like daggers. the axes look more like kitchen equipment than real weapons.

If I remember I'll try to take a pic as soon as possible, if I forget, feel free to remind me  ;)

Complicated question.

Can someone compare Warlord games, wargames factory, and gripping beast miniatures, with a GW miniature?

I am thinking of putting together a small albionian army and am trying to figure out which one of those would be best for the wallet and best for the tabletop in scale.
Don't underestimate a halfling, their ladle will do a number on your stomach, and on your head.
