"Comparison - Perry British WW2 vs Warlord, TAG etc Japanese" Topic

Does anyone have any images of these figures against each other or can you give any insight as to how well they would mix sizewise, please.

I have Japs by a variety of manufacturers but want to assemble a 14th Army platoon to face them.

In my mind the most common headgear for Burma was the helmet so I am not looking for Chindit type figures and Perrys long trousered metals look perfect. Just concerned that other manufacturers Japs will tower over them/

Sorry, but as good as the Perry figs are I never bought any because based on what I've read they're on the smallish side and are incompatible with other popular ranges from Artizan, Crusader and Warlord.

I can put some photos together over the weekend vs Warlord.

I find them too small against Warlord's jungle fighters, but it's less noticeable vs their older metal figures and plastics (although they are still smaller, so if the role reversal bothers you…).

I'm planning to use thicker bases for the Brits and swap the Japanese out if/when Perry get around to doing Japanese.

Thanks – that would be really helpful.

Yes – I wish the Perrys would bring out a WW2 Japanese range, it would make life a lot simpler in this case!

The Warlord Chindits (not sure on the Gurkha's) have separate heads so you could try Westwind heads with helmets and Warlord bodies. It does add to the expense but the Warlord Chindits are really nice figures.

Not all of the chindits have loose heads but I've had tell same thought in the past around head swaps. There are some loose ghurka heads but they look like ghurkas, so look odd as Brits (I'm going to mix a couple into my chindits though).

Sorry these aren't great pics but time is against me:

top row is a warlord tank bomb thrower sandwiched between 2 perry, with kneeling warlord to left of perry and a perry chap on plastic warlord (I don't have any off sprue and seem to have sold my jungle fighters)

bottom pic is is perry and older style warlord I think.

It depends how fussy you are, as there isn't a huge difference but the newer metal warlord just seem chunkier to me.

I'd commission some Perry compatible Japanese but sods law they'd release a plastic set the moment I'd sunk the money into it!
