2nd Barons War: Crusader & First Corps Compatability?
« on: October 25, 2018, 10:17:35 AM »
Am looking for opinions on compatability (size, proportion, style, etc) of the Crusader Minatures Later Crusaders line (which I have) with some of the 1st Corps Early Medievals

https://www.crusaderminiatures.com/list.php?cat=5&sub=56&page=1

https://1stcorps.co.uk/product-category/medieval/early-medieval-crusades/medieval-europe-western-europe/medieval-europe-western-europe-supplement-packs/

My thinking is to use the 1st Corps Serjeants with their unbarded horses, as I prefer my serjeants to be in mail and surcoats rather than just gambesons, which is what are available from Crusader.

Have a look at the Curteys stuff. That's what I initially bought all those years ago which are now in Mark's collection.

Thanks  :)

I believe the Curteys are the ones now sold by 1st Corps - they have that tag in the 1st Corps webshop and are sometimes described as that on EBay. I’m not 100% sure though.

They are indeed the same figures. I should have checked your link beforehand. ;)

They should sit fine alongside the Crusaer stuff. The sculpting is not to the same standard, but they paint up nicely. Some of the command figures make nice characters.
