Hi,
I wanted to know if someone can tell me if we can mix acw range from 20mm Newline design and 15mm AB miniatures because they seem very close to proportion ; someone already tried ? Some pics perhaps ?
Thanks a lot for your help !
Regards
Hakim

Sorry I cannot help but I'd be very interested to know what figures I could mix with Newline as I really like their rank and file but find the commands too limited in variety.

I had some of the Newline 20m. napoleonics, sold to me by an Ebayer who actually described them as "18mm". They are very nice figures, but definitely far too tall to stand against 18 mm ABs. I also had a few of the Capitan figures, they are much closer to the Newline, but I think you are best sticking with one range.

Thanks a lot for your opinion !
Someone has some pics for Newline design and AB miniature in 20mm in order to compare and to check details and sculpting ?
Regards

Tane 67 – Newline are 20mm (think Airfix plastics in general size) – AB are 15/18mm (they vary a bit in size across the ranges but think overgrown 15mm). They are not compatible in size.

If you want images just do a search for 20mm Newline and 15mm AB on eBay – there is generally someone selling the figures with pictures.

So would Newline be compatible with the old Kriegspielers of Uncle Duke?

Would AB 15mm mix with RSM95 20mm figures?
