I am sure this has been answered in the past but the search function was not working for me. Can anyone tell me whether or not the Victrx and Perry figures would work well together as far as size goes??? Thanks. |

Yes, they are entirely compatible unless you *want* there to be a difference. |

Agreed!
They are compatable. I've seen comments that they don't "work" together in the same units, but I've actually mixed and matched parts from kits and they work well. The only "issue" is the VICTRIX British Packs are narrower than the Perry ones.
(I wish the Perry's would release a "BRIT PACKS sprue)
pictures of my "MIXED and matched" Brits are here:

Would echo Macolm's comment.
I've put together a few figures (not painted yet) using Victrix arms/heads on Perry bodies and they are fine |

I put the two in different units because of the issue with the backpacks that Trailape mentioned, and because they have, to my eye, different personalities. The Perry models are very stoic while the Victrix are animated and individual. Other than that they work very well together, so well that you could easily mix-and-match parts. |

ccmatty – Diffinently both. That way you always have an opponent. |
