I'm looking to build an Ancient Spanish army in 15mm. I quite like the look (and price) of Donnington figures, but there isn't a great deal of variety. What other manufacturers would work alongside them (preferably within the same unit).

TIA

QRF are very nice and should match and there is a rolling discount on three packs or more. Loads of variety too.

Donnington are on the larger side of 15mm IIRC, so should combine OK with Old Glory.

What about Fantassin from Spain?

I have painted and sold several Spanish armies. They have been mainly Old Glory. A good solid range. I built others by Donnington and Fantassin.

Fantassin are slightly larger than Donnington. They are ok mixed with Xyston

The War & Empire figures should be out later this year. They had a very successful Kickstarter late last year. These Westwind figures look great.

Corvus Belli are nice.

I agree with Corvus belli with good cavalry and command as well.

I agree with Corvus belli

Thanks all.

Do the Corvus Belli figures tending towards Xyston/Fantassin size or towards the smaller Donnington?

link will help re CB and Xyston.

If you want to mix in the same unit then I would advise getting extra shields from one or other manufacturer. The Xyston shields are far larger than the CB shields.

I only have Fantassin/Warmodeling Romans rather than Spanish, but if they are anything to go by then they will dwarf CB.
