"What figures would best fit with Perry’s Battle in a Box?" Topic

As is says, what figures do you believe would best fit with Perry's Battle in a Box 8mm (1/200?), plastic miniatures? 6mm, 10mm, other?

I understand that one could buy more of their figure sprues in gray but I'm thinking about adding verity to the units or expanding to other periods.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, BR.

I would ignore the Perry offering and concentrate on 6mm or 10mm. There are plenty to choose from particularly if you are expanding the forces and into other periods.

6mm makes more sense to me.

Yeah, unfortunately they went with an in between, neither 6mm nor 10mm, more like 8mm. That said, Baccus 6mm figures mix okay.

I'd go with Daler. Sell the starter set figs and just buy 6mm.

If they are scale 8mm, then Baccus and Adler 6mm should do well with them.

Thanks for the tips guys!

Adler are generally larger than Baccus. If you are looking for the closest match for 8mm figures, I suspect that Adler would be the better option.

Thanks AussieAndy, I'll check them out too.

Probably the closest fit will be another pure 8mm (1:200) troops from other producers.

Here are page about sculpting 8mm figs.

Those are very nice figures, beautifully painted.

Does Battle in a Box have a Napoleonic set? I had only seen the ACW set.
