So the FR seem to be somewhat earlier period? Lots of mail plate mix, and nail akerton mix, alot more shields even for MAA.more varied weapons, not just pole arms. |

I mixed them, and they look great, and the world didn't end |

The FR range cover the whole of the HYW. So some of the armour is too early if you're looking to cover the early 1500s/mix with Perry. As a rule of thumb, look for models in white harness with, if French, perhaps the odd jupon. |

Front Rank are mostly 14th century, the Perry HYW to date are Agincourt era in the early to mid-15th century. I heard they might produce some 14th century figures down the line, however. |
