Beautiful unit and photography, Jon.

May I ask how you found the models scale to other ranges? Selfishly, I'm wondering what the scale's like in comparison to Victrix's plastics (who have their own cavalry coming out, but nevertheless it helps to know). Curious if the same scale issues that plague the infantry also affect the cavalry.

Thank you.

The question of scale between Victrix and Warlord is becoming a bit of a theme from other posts and I would say that the Warlord range are not standard in size themselves. That said I find their range with the exception of the auxiliary infantry slightly smaller compared to the Victrix legionaries.

This appears less so with the cavalry, but of course I will gave a better idea when the Vixtrix EIR cavalry are released, hopefully next month.

I don't find the Warlord range distracting to the eye next to my Victrix, but as the saying goes "Beauty is in the eye......"

I aim to run my first game with the collection this weekend at the Devon Wargames Group, so aim to put up some pictures of the units on table which might give you a better idea.

Hope that helps
