Does anyone have a link to a comparison photo of these two ranges. I have found the following

How do they compare? What shall I do? Does anyone know?

thanks in advance for any help or suggestions

I haven't any pictures but I do have some Copplestone (Orcs and personalities), GW 10mm (Five Armies and Warmaster), Pendraken and Magister Militum (Ancients) that all mix well in terms of heights.

GW & Copplestone are based on strips, that's because Copplestone did most of them whilst at GW and then when he set up his own business.

Pendraken and MM are all individually based which is no real issue but worth considering.

Kallistra is not 10mm but really 12mm or even small 15mm. They do very nice figures but are not really compatible which is a real shame which tends to put collections into one camp or the other.

Personally – I'd advise you to mix and match Copplestone, Pendraken and MM. If you can get any GW models they are also good, but tend to become very costly 2nd hand. You'll need to base the Copplestone units in their own groups due to the strip mounting; that'll make a nice shieldwall looking unit. Separate figures perhaps for a less organised formation.
