OK, so I am going to be uusing Victrix for my Song Of Drums And Shakos forces,a nd I was wondering if anyone could tell me which of the following mixed best with them size-wise.

My choices are Dixon, Elite, Foundry, and Perry.

Thank you for any and all commentary.

Perry and only Perry mix well with Victrix.

Woah- I think I am confused by such a diagram. What was conclusion of compatability with Perry/Victrix? As in which ones will go well?

Cheers

My personal opinion is that Companion, Eagle, Front Rank, Victrix and Elite all go together.

If you scroll down, there is a picture illustrating this.

The diagram is a little on the large size -- I haven't worked out how to make it smallerer yet.

I am considering a purchase from Steve Baber models. Any suggestions as to how they would fit into the mix?

Steve Barber Naps have enormously disproportionate heads. Did you ever see The Mekon in Dan Dare comic?

I'd say they wouldn't fit with any of the above

i dont agree front rank mix with perry. Not the russians anyway. Much more chunky. fun to paint though

Thank you all for the help (especially Katie!) I will be ordering my initial British and French plastics by Victrix probably next weekend. Once I have a few basic infantry games under my belt, I will be expanding into some cavalry.

Thaks again!

Steve Barber figures are really nice, but sadly they're noticeably shorter than the Front Rank – Victrix styles.

They look like the drummer boys in comparison. It's a real pity, actually, because SB has some nice characterful sculpts.

There may be better results mixing the slightly smaller, more slender figures (Foundry, say) with SB.
