Warlord archers, Victrix  auxiliaries and a bonus Victrix legionary and Wargames Foundry auxiliary:


Vic L, Warlord archer, Vic aux, Warlord archer,  Vic aux, Foundry aux.






Hopefully the photo attached ok (haven't tried it from a tablet before)


I think the delayed archers set was also supposed to include scorpios

Wow yeah, that's quite a difference. I myself have noticed a large size discrepancy between Warlord ranges, as well. My Victrix Successor/Macedonian phalangites and Warlord Macedonian phalangites are effectively the exact same size, whereas both absolutely dwarf my Warlord Classical hoplites. I'm not aware of any vast increases in nutrition between those couple of centuries, but you wouldn't know it from the figures  :D

Thanks for that Turgid, I have Foundry and was thinking of expanding a little.
Some of those sizes are quite ridiculous, even under the three foot rule.

Do you have Foundry EIR? 

I had gotten Warlord EIR years ago and just let them sit in their boxes.  They were so small ...

Then I acquired a lot off of Ebay (turns out it was from a storage locker) and it included a LOT of Foundry EIR.  They match the Warlord EIR so that inspired me to finally start on the Warlord EIR. 

They don't match my other figures, but I put a penny under the them when I base them to help "elevate" them so they don't look that out of place ...

Mine are the Caesarian Romans, although I may add some Imperials to the force.
A coin would improve the height but the overall heft of the figures still looks wrong to me and the size of equipment may be a factor.  I might need to wait for a wargames show to  restart to do a detailed comparison :)

The Foundry Caesarean Romans work exceptionally well with the Warlord Caesarean Romans! 

Especially if you trim off the plumes from the Warlord Caesarean Romans. 

Wargames Factory Caesarean Romans fit well with the Foundry Caesarean Romans as well.

This size comparison might help:

Lockdown must be affecting me, how did I miss that!
Thanks Wmyers, I feel an order coming on.
