How do Magister Militium and Pendraken match up with Old Glory in size. Thanks |

Old Glory are on a thicker base which makes the Magister and Pendraken look smaller but I simply built up the bases under the Pendraken and Magister figures and used them on the same stands as OG and they looked OK to me. At least with Gauls. |

The OG vary by range,apparently--the AWI are on thick bases,but WSS are thin. Those are the only ones I have. Don't know about the Napoleonics. |

Oh yes--I do have a few packs of Pendraken,and size-wise the infantry match pretty well. The Old Glory horses are a bit larger than the Pendraken,and riders are separate,so they do take up more space. I can fit four OG horse on a one and a half inch frontage base comfortably. I could squeeze five Pendraken in the same space,but of course I don't,for uniformity's sake. One nice thing about the OG horses is multiple poses,unlike Pendraken. I believe someone on another thread was saying the OG Napoleonics command strips were longer than the regular infantry strips,which,if true,would be rather strange. I glue two strips in a double rank to steel paper trimmed to fit the stands,no real "base" at all. Different sized strips would make that difficult. But that's my problem, I doubt if anyone else does it that way. |

Magister Militum, figures tend to look like reenactors compares to pendrakens (carrying a few pounds). Fine in the same army but not mixed in the same unit.
OG come in strips except for light infantry types. As stated earlier there horses are a little bigger. I have all three in my Napoleonic French and it works fine, try to keep regiments to one manufacturer though. jon |

ciaphas: how about That strip length rumor? Different,or the same? |

Pendraken and MM are individually based infantry. OG comes in strips of 5 – real pain if you base as 2 ranks of 3….. I would not mix MM and Pendraken in the same unit. MM suffer from scale creep in comparison. Personally I haven't noticed a difference of strip length for command figures with OG. A friend bases his 10mm on 30mm wide bases and they fit fine there. |

I don't like the strips at all. So haven't got any. jon |

I find the strips easier to handle. And easier to paint.
But as I've said before,I cheat. |

Lots of 10mm comparison shots on my 1809 site: link link link link Also, have a look at the Blog Index page. Cheers, Michael |
