Hello All,

I'm looking to expand my WW1 collection beyond Great Escape Games 12mm.

Without ever having seen Pendraken 10mm WW1 or Kallistra 12mm, I'm wondering if they are compatible with GEG 12mm?

I'm not particularly concerned about minor differences (my eyes are bad enough!) regarding size/proportions, but would they generally work together on the table? Any insights and/or comparison photos would be most gratefully appreciated!

Thanks!

Here you go:

I also have some Great Escape Games 12mm figures. If I recall correctly, they are comparable in size to Kallistra. Perhaps a little heftier and a tad shorter. My 1914 project is almost entirely Magister Militum (now available again as Tenth Legion from Baccus) however they don't make dismounted cavalry so I used Kallistra. Pendraken are definitely on the smaller side and I wouldn't recommend mixing them with either GEG or Kallistra. I should place a few pics of the GEG for an updated comparison picture.

Don't forget about Van Dyck. IMHO, the best proportioned and anatomically correct of the lot but "thinner" in stature than most. Currently just German and Belgians but there were plans to add British and Russians. (The guy sculpts under an industrial microscope for goodness sakes!) His ancients are the best in any scale! He does a 10mm a/c where the hood can be removed to reveal the engine below!!!
