"Relative size of Foundry, Musketeer and Reiver GNW Russians?" Topic

Size and 'chunkiness' -makes the minis look bigger.
Not to mix minis of different manufacturers in the same unit -certainly unwise, except perhaps for some officers- but to combine homogeneous regiments in a single army.
It would be ludicrious that e.g. 'Eastern Light Horse' ("little men mounted on ponies") would be larger than regular 'heavy' cavalry ("cuirassiers;'giants riding elephants'"); Guard grenadiers are to be taller than militiamen. Ideally the larger minis should be used for 'heavies' / Guards, the medium ones for line infantry, dragoons and most artillery, the smaller / most skinny for 'lights', and 'poor quality' troops (reflecting their 'inferiority).
In the same vein, how do Foundry 'Chevaliers-Gardes in ceremonial dress'
picture
compare with Musketeer and Reiver cavalry?
(I know they are not from the same period -but the army is to be that of an Imagi-Nation, and the Chevaliers-Gardes are spectacular, with some 'archaic' features, so…)?
Thanks in advance,
Jean-Louis

The style is different, but size-wise the infantry from Musketeer/Reiver should be compatible with Foundry SYW figures. Foundry's GNW range is older however, and therefore probably smaller.
Afraid I have no first-hand knowledge of Musketeer/Reiver cavalry. The Chevaliers-Gardes would certainly look splendid in any imagi-nation (Hmm, why didn't I think of it?)

Old Glory 'Governor's Guards' (from their 'Pirates' range)
picture are not bad either, but unfortunately unarmoured.
Now, the Schaumburg-Lippe-Bückeburg Karabiniers, if mounted on *impressive* horses (with leads to another thread TMP link )….

@ Musketier:

us more?
