I haven't ordered with them for a while, but the 40% should apply to all their own ranges, so to these as well.

As for relative size between Perry Foundry stuff and Perry Perry Miniatures stuff, I don't have any perry WOTR (which I assume is the closest to the correct period) I'm afraid. I'd say it's close enough though based on what I've seen.

Damn, I really need some of their minis - I'm kind of interested in doing a Nippon modeled Empire list. And if Old Glory stuff goes well with Perry Mini stuff the price could be real cheap.

White Knight · « **Reply #77 on:** December 13, 2009, 11:11:02 AM »

Well, Old Glory stuff isn't all by the same sculptor I think, and I don't have any of their samurai range. I do however have Old Glory and Perry ECW figures and they mix well enough:

I'm working on something similar.

I am calling mine 'Asian' for flexibility.
I have some current Perry Samurai - around £1.00 per infantryman, £2.50 per cavalryman.
I'm waiting for some WestWind stuff to turn up, but it's been nearly 3 weeks

Then I have some of the old Citadel Samurai, ninjas, and the Rocket Launcher with most of the crew.

However I said Asian, because Perry do some lovely Koreans, and I have a couple of Vendel elephabts with Indian/Persian crew, and a few odd Black Cat Bases pirate figures with an oriental feel.

I will endeavour to add to this thread.

I'm quite happy to see any sort of 25/28mm 'human' minis in this thread, that could potentially be used in an Empire themed army.

Citadel Horses, 4th & 7th Edition, along with the new Perry horses from their Napoleonic Range.

Well, main focus of the pictures - not only if you´ve followed the link - were the Warlord Games Miniatures

White Knight · « **Reply #85 on:** January 03, 2010, 12:10:34 PM »

Some alternative models for kislevites. I find that cossacks (irregular) and poles (more uniformed) work very well.

A few close-ups:

Some wizardly and priestly types:

Mounted figures:

I didn't have an assembled unbarded GW horse handy, so this one will have to do:

I got a Kraakov Hussar from Dwarf Tales recently, it was brought up on this thread:
http://www.warhammer-empire.com/theforum/index.php?topic=32905.0
about what height the miniatures were (the link to the website is also in that thread). So here is a comparison with some of my empire models!

Actually, no it isnt, its just in scale.

The Romans were actually quite a short race of people, averaging about 5 feet tall, and rode small horses and ponies.

Its why they co-opted all the celtic tribesmen they could into their army...

It doesnt help that the GW horses are the size of elephants either.

Well just FYI - Roman horses were small. That is in fact very historically accurate and it is why sculptors who know there stuff model them that way.

Unfortunately that makes the horses a little less than ideal when scaling with the standard GW sized horse

I've some miniatures from Reaper Mini, so here is comparison. I've hope it's helpfull.

White Knight · « **Reply #91 on:** May 24, 2010, 03:14:44 PM »

A few more comparison pictures.

First, some elves in Empire style dress. These could work very well as Sea Elves who have lived in the Empire for some time.

Civilians from various sources, in a dress style that (IMO) fits the Empire:

(The Mirliton one is not a very good model)

Some women. The Alionas ones in particular are spot on.

A couple kids:

Really good thread! Appreciate all the people submitting pics to help us other fools out, question for anyone who cares...

Could someone do a side by side of GW lord of the rings Gondor troops and empire stuff

I love the look of the LoTR models and want to do a more medivalish looking force and was wondering how they looked next to each other. I know they're supposed to be smaller but I'd like to see an actual visual difference if possible....

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #93 on:** May 26, 2010, 07:06:40 AM »

Yes this thread rocks big time I will get some wargames factory numidians in here in a couple of weeks.

Marek · « **Reply #94 on:** May 31, 2010, 06:25:22 PM »

Apologies if this thread is purely to compare the aesthetics of differrent manufacturers, but I'll always wandered do some figure ranges hold their value better than others?

(And ps, thanks for bringing to my attention many beautiful models that I did not even know existed!

)

White Knight · « **Reply #95 on:** May 31, 2010, 06:39:13 PM »

Well, metal always holds it's value better than plastic, as it can be turned to near mint condition by stripping, where the plastics are pretty much devalued once you glued them together (and even more when painted unless you are really good).

Also, OOP figures will always fetch bigger prices on the secondary market because of their perceived (but not always true) rarity.
For this reason, old Marauder figures and OOP citadel can go for comparatively high prices when compared to ranges that are currently in production. The same can be said for the 7th Sea figures I posted earlier in this thread, because they make some good female characters in empire style and are hard to come by. Foundry will usually get a good price because like GW they keep having price rises every year or so.

On the other side of the spectrum you have Old Glory and Black Tree Design who will undermine the value of their own ranges by continuously undercutting their own prices with sales or special discounts (army card). This should reflect in the resale value of their figures.

Here are some pikemen I have been working on/with

Pendraken on the left, Artizan centre, Foundry on right

On the left is a Artizan Landsknecht, centre is Foundry, and right is a plastic Warlord Games ECW pikeman with an Ed.6 Soldiers Head

White Knight · « **Reply #97 on:** June 06, 2010, 12:26:17 PM »

Thanks for that, I always wondered about the Pendraken figures. They don't compare favourably to the others though.

That's one of the reasons I posted it - I agree.

They were fairly cheap if I remember 8 for £6.00, but only the one pose, and the heads are oversized.

They look great.

As long as you hide them behind the others.
