Cor! Gorgeous - and useful for about 100 different things!

Shame the Perrys' stuff is on the small side compared to Copplestone, Brigade, Artizan and so on, because it will make these beautiful figures slightly less compatible with most BoB style forces, but nevertheless... superb.

Like the Sudan campaigns.

These figs are just plain desirable. Need some stalwart allies such as these Balkan lads.

Well up to the usual Perry standard! The whole Sudan range is superb and I could easily spend all my spare cash exclusively on it  :love:

As to the size difference compared to Copplestone etc - well, it's in the eye of the beholder.

I mix all sorts together with no problem - eg Perry, Foundry, OG and Connoisseur British infantry in separate units and it looks fine to me.

The Perrys really are my favourite Historical sculptors at present, though.

The Perry's are amazing. They never stop sculpting, they just produce great figures at an amazing rate. As for these they look great but of course were terrible troops, useful raiders but not soldiers. Great models, I like the turbaned one with the carbine down, he could be used for a number of other things as well.
