Hello:

Just stumbled across their website.

Any opinions about their compatibility with AB WWII?

TIA…

I sell that range here in the US at ScaleCreep.com My customers often blend them with AB. Style is a bit different but an excellent size wise, or so I am told.

P.S. BattleModels was Capitan was Warmodelling was Fnatassin….same figures no matter what the name on the bag says….

The Capitan/Warmodelling are great figures and do match up to AB in height and weapon size almost perfectly. They do have more girth/heft to the men, though. It isn't enough to notice at war game ranges. I happily mix them, and FAA as well.

The original Fantassin ranges were sculpted to be compatible with AB (to the extent that a lot of the poses for Napoleonics and WW2 are the same as AB)…

I really like their Brits as they have lots of different poses.

These are a mix of AB and Battlemodels. Back row left to right is AB, BM, AB, BM.


Back row, left to right, BM, AB, BM, BM
Front row, left to right, BM, AB, BM, BM

The BM sculpts are a bit more soft on detail and prone to some nasty clean up requirements (hopefully fixed now that they've been remolded recently), but otherwise match up quite well with offerings from AB, FAA, Elhiem, and Battlefield/Blitz.

Just made the decision to move from 15mm to 20mm WWII before Christmas and the decision looks better and better all the time. old fart

Cheers,
