All,
So I've built up a small collection of the gorgeous Ebob Rebellion figures. The cavalry while stunning, are very expensive for me here in the US, though I did get a single pack of 4. Can anyone recommend any other mounted figures that are suitable for late 13th early 14th century? What I am after are figures readily available here in the States and more reasonable priced than the Rbob cavalry. |

As far as I can remember the only range compatible would be 'early' foundry but not sure if the periods are compatible. I've been watching this post seeing if there are any additional ranges – love the ebob stuff and it's the first stuff I've seen prompting me to start medieval skirmish!Have a couple of packs of english foot with a few knights – waiting for the pikemen to be back in stock before getting them and some cavalry. Apparently the Perry stuff is also of a similar scale, so I may have to get a pack or two of theirs. |

I've just finished painting the Ebob English knights set. They are wonderful figures but as they are more finely proportioned then even Perry I would guess maybe Mirliton would be a closer match. This time period is definitely under represented in the 28mm scale. |

If they are that small and slight, how to they stand next to Ral Partha or LOTR? |

Didn't word that well – hence the Deleted post(where is the Edit button when you need it). In brief: - Ebob miniatures are lovely.
- I want to buy them.
- I want to use them to persuade the others in my group to play historical.
- My 'others' are fussy about duplicate sculpts, so Ebob's range alone would probably not suffice.
- Other ranges would have to be of similar quality and scale.
- If I can't fulfill these then the project may be a non-starter Can anyone offer any helpful suggestions for compatible ranges? (I already know of Perry and Front Rank as possibles, but maybe a bit too large – anyone have comparison shots?) Cheers! |

Errr…what about Old Glory? They should be compatible… Mirliton also sounds like a good match. Not the Copplestone's ex-Grenadier figs, but the original Mirliton sculpts, though. |

How do I tell the differet sculpts apart? |
