Some recently completed Xyston Spanish cavalry:

Including some Xyston caetrati pillion rider cavalry, which is something little different:

Is that a Xyston range compatible in size with Old Glory 15s?

Thanks for the comments guys.

@corona66 – I don't have any Old Glory 15s but believe they are similar in size to Essex, which I do have. Xyston are more toward the 18mm end of the spectrum so I would guess that they are larger and would not mix well in the same unit.

Here are a couple of TMP discussions though and the opinion seems quite divided:

Thanks for the links Plutarch. I already have a mix of OG and Corvus Belli and your figures look so nice I thought i might add some Xyston to my remaining unpainteds. Guess not.

Purportedly Xyston had a new sculptor on the newer lines who was a`bit better scale wise. Not sure the the Spaniards fall on the time line though.

I have some scutarii, but when purchased they went into storage so don't have a comparison.
