How do Gripping Beast Arthur/ Late Romans compare with Foundry Arthur/ Late Romans for size and quality? |

Foundry are a bit smaller but not so much that you can't mix the figures together with GB. |

Great resource Cerdic! Clear, concise and presented two ways. Very good |

I wouldn't mix them. Foundrys are smaller and better sculpted, Gripping beast are bigger, chunkier and lack detail. |

Foundry are small. I think the GB and the new Saxon Miniatures line are the way to go w/ Arthurians, followed closely by Footsore. |

What OneHuaiTicket said. There are several Gripping Beast sculptors so all the figures are not equal. I like the Patten sculpts, not so much Soapy. To each there own. |

GB are 30mm figures, whereas Foundry are 28mm. The Foundry detail is a little more exaggerated: deeper, more flowing folds etc., but stylistically the Patten and Perry sculpts blend very well. The more recent Arthurian range released to support the WAB 'Age of Arthur' supplement was sculpted by Soapy in a chunkier, less nuanced style, and consequently doesn't blend quite as well with Foundry's ranges. The GB Late Romans are Patten sculpts, as are all three ranges on the second row down on the Arthurian page of the online catalogue: Saxon/German Tribes, Romano-British, and Irish. I couldn't find the old Patten-sculpted generic Celts range; OOP? |
