A quick figure comparison between Gripping Beast 28mm plastic Dark Age Warriors and Old Glory metal Goth infantry.

Nicely done Dave – they compare very well. I used some of those plastics as Dacian warriors to add some variety to the warband.

Have some Old Glory Hypaspists but steered away from their other ancients as they are a tad small – looking at your Goths maybe I should change my mind? They are one of the few 28mm manufacturers who make early Etruscans.

Mithridates, the only drawback with Old Glory is that there packs of figures are fairly large so to try them out you need to purchase 30 figures. Give them a go though their prices are good.

Thanks – checked out their site and will ask OG about contents, looking specifically for 3rd class spearmen – pot helmet and no pectoral plate. I wonder if they will do me a bag full? Cannot hurt to ask.
