I just got the 95th Rifle pack from Offensive miniatures.
VERY nice figures. Sculpted by Mark Sims.

Following is a couple comparison pics with some of the other figure ranges:

The bare metal figs don't photograph very well, the Rifles are much nicer looking in 'person'. See their web site:
offensiveminiatures.com
The first five figures are all quite compatable. Front Rank is quite bulky and Foundry is quite stunted.

That Vitrix figure looks too well fed to be a Brirish soldier!

Maybe he is a re-enactor?

Very useful size comparisons, thanks!

Yes, thanks for the comparison shot. Very helpful. The Offensive Riflemen look really good too. v/r, Dean

Here's the link to the Riflemen in the Gallery. What's the difference between Rifleman 4 & 12?

Cliff;
Thanks a lot for the size comparison photos. They are a great help! You are right about the Offensive Figures. Looking at your photos of that particular figure tells me to whoa…don't buy them, then when you see their website you say…whoa, I got to have them!!

Many thanks for the comparison, much appreciated!
I will definately order some

In my pack of 12 figures I got 11 different poses – the kneeling firing pose was duplicated. There is also another standing pose not shown in the site pics.
I'm not sure if the 12th figure is random.

All are VERY nice tho.

Nice-looking figures… the pictures of the British rankers and French in the gallery look good as well. I do find it interesting that the British line are in stovepipe shakos while the French are in Bardin regulation uniforms.

Nice looking figures when you see them painted on the gallery site. Thanks for the comparison.

I wonder why every company seems to make the 95th Rifles first whenever a new Napoleonic range comes out?

Fritz: The same reason that every ACW range has Zouaves before Coloured Troops – and that every WWII tank range has King Tigers before Panzer IIs

At least they held back on the Old Guard

Supercilius Maximus14 Mar 2009 12:56 p.m. PST

According to wargames figure manufacturing tradition, Scots Greys should be next…….

What is wrong with his face? He looks like that character from "The Watchmen"
