Does anybody knows which WW2 10mm manufactures are similar in size or compatible with Wargames South infantry?. |

Pendraken mix pretty well, I have both on the same base and it looks fine. Minifigs are way too thin and slightly smaller in stature. No idea about Pithead infantry |

I really like the Wargames South models. Superb! Unfortunately, they are getting a little pricey for those of us in the US. I like the Pendraken infantry with Wargames South, and for prepainted models the World Tank Museum and Dragon Can-Do are both excellent in size and quality. Dean |

If Pendraken Infantry are a decent match with WGS then Pithead will be too, as the two ranges are very similar in height and build. My understanding is that the WGS vehicles are at the larger end of the 10-12mm scale (i.e. around 1/144) so the Japanese plastics should go well with them. Pithead will probably be OK. But Pendraken is likely to be too small. |

Pendraken are a good match for the intantry. cant say for pithead. between these two pendraken and WGS I wouldnt imagine youll have much you cant get hold of. The new WGS infantry are much nicer than the old stuff. WGS vehicles are 144th scale. they match very well the plastic japanese stuff. I compared the T34 from both these and they were identical. What period WWII are u thinking off

First, thanks to everybody for your help. Well, I have a bunch of WGS infantry figures (I get it second hand). Soviets, germans and US paratroops, and I like them a lot. I plan to buy more infantry (mid war east front and Normandy battles), but the WGS vehicles are too expensive for me. I will use FOW books as a guide, but not the rules. From your answers I´m thinking about pithead for vehicles, and WGS infantry mainly with some specials like forward obsrvers or motorbikes from pendraken. Thank you again. |

Where would you draw the line between the "newer" WGS infantry sculpts and the "older" ones? |
