Is there a web site out there that shows the size comparison between the various Samurai/Ronin minis? The main ones I'm interested in are Perry, North Star, Steel Fist, and West Wind. |

I'm not sure about "modern" ranges. There was an old one from the 90s that had Dixon, Foundry, Ral Partha. I remember it exchanged links with either the Major General Tremorden Reddering's website, or Terragenesis. |

I have painted up forces for all Ronin rules factions. The Perry and North Star figures mix very well. The West Wind are similar in size but wear the armour of a few hundred years before the Perry range. The Steel Fist figures are very nice but will not mix with any others (being almost 35mm). They do make very imposing commanders. Regards Alan |

28mm Samurai fig comparison photos I have found online can be found at:
link (Final two photos compare Perry and Wargames Factory mounted figs. Sorry for no caption.) Steel Fist, Kingsford and Kensei figures tend to be larger than others. North Star Ronin figs are comparable to Perry, Old Glory, Artizan, West Wind, etc. Dixon are smaller than the rest. |

Did you label those Schogun? If so thanks, been meaning to label the photos I took for a while but never got around to it. Kensei have much smaller hands and heads than some other ranges. Steel fist infantry are bigger than perry but still mix well enough in my opinion people are different heights and statures afterall. Their cavalry are probably too large to mix with perry though. |
