Wanted to get in to Colonial Africa wargaming and Artizan's seems to be the only game in town for French Foreign Legion, (Unfeasibly is totally sold out) so I got a nice big army. Troops, mule team, mounted commanders… The big native force is on deck, but first was a force of Colonial German Schutztruppe. I ordered them from Askari Miniatures. They came today and this happened: The Askaris are TINY next to the Artizans. I lined up everything I had. All so-called 28mm. I've seen lots of size comparison photos like these, but few with Artizan figs. Foundry seems a good match, but Empress and Warlord Games look dwarfed. Does anybody else make miniatures that match Artizan?

Those Empress are actually Eureka. And yes, Artizan are a touch bigger.

Brigade Games has a good selection of WWI-era Africa, which can provide your Schutztruppen: link As mentioned above, Pulp Figures for Germans, British, French: link Old Glory has traditional, PC Wren style Foreign Legion: link Castaway Arts has a good selection of 19th-century miniatures, including British and French. These are a bit slimmer, closer to Askari in size: link

The Old Glory range are also smaller than Artizan. I use Artizan for my FFL forces, and Old Glory for my Arab forces. I really like the Old Glory Arab poses. But I would not mix the two ranges in the same side, there would be noticeable size difference, IMO.

Sorry, yes, I meant Eureka. Thanks for catching that.

Okay, re-did that photo with proper labels:

I tried Pulp Figures. I think their "German Colonials" may have the same sculptor as Askari. They fit perfect with Askari.

Man, I haven't posted on here in a while, is the photo bucket logo usually that huge?

Old Glory minis do look great. They're listed as 25mm but I imagine they'd probably work well with some of the smaller 28mm minis shown above. I did pick up some Copplestone minis and they do work great with Artizan.

Copplestone, Brigade and Pulp are all ‘close enough' to Artizan IMHO.
