I'm going to paint some Huns. So far I've found that Old Glory and Wargames Foundry sell them. Foundry has photos, Old Glory does not. Are there other manufacturers?

Of these two, how do they compare to each other, size wise, detail and price? Can they be mixed?

Newline Designs have very competitive prices and they have Huns

Gripping Beast also has some beautiful figures in unit packs as well as a SAGA warband.

but they are a bit more pricey (beautiful figures, though)

I am not sure how they mix with OG and Foundry, someone else or the manufacturers themselves can tell you (Sean at Newline and Andy at GB)
hope that helps

Thank you for the info. I had no idea that either of these two had a Hun line.

Wargames Foundry Huns are very nice. A couple of other options is to use Fireforge plastic Mongols:

or Aventine steppe cavalry:

Been down this route myself. I found the Newline figures very 'rigid' and boring in pose. Some GB 'Huns' are lovely. Some look odd and squashed. I almost sold them on as soon as they arrived. (I got what they gave me, on an army deal.) They had huge size variation – and yes, it does look weird. I fleshed out the army using Aventine figures.

I would have used WF except for price. Nothing against the OG, but have an entire Mongol army of theirs already.

Aventine are really great, multi part so lots of options available. See here emperorbaz.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/huns-28mm-from-aventine.html
