Does anyone have any pictures comparing the 18mm line of figures from Man at War with the 15/18mm figures from Blue Moon?

Man At War are huge and are really closer to 20mm. I bought a pack of hussars and they make even 18s look small

I've been asking the same question for a year or two. Its always the same answer – they're too big. But I still have never seen a side-by-side comparison.

Its a shame the you have to buy a whole box to see them or I would get some and do some comparison pictures.

I'll post a pic later. Not sure it really shows well. It's the bulk of the horse that really stands out.

Warmodelling/Fantassin 18mm top, Man At War bottom.

Photo really does not seem to reflect how massive the one appears next to the other. Weird. I'll see if I can find a better comparison.

I think that shows enough of a difference for them to be incompatible.

Cecil Merriam08 May 2015 11:13 a.m. PST

Why would they be incompatible? People, and horses, come in different sizes. The difference doesn't seem enough to be out of the realm of reality. I've always wondered about the opinion that every figure in a unit/army must be the exact same size.

And I'm still specifically looking for a visual comparison to Blue Moon.

Blue Moon cavalry are a lot smaller than Warmodelling. Here's a comparison pic with (left to right) Blue Moon, Warmodelling, Campaign Games Minitiatures…

So, in my opinion, the fact that Man at War look a lot bigger than Warmodelling, they will dwarf Blue Moon.
