Title: Freebooter Miniatures size comparison
Post by: Elk101 on 23 October 2017, 10:40:11 PM: Does anyone have any knowledge of how Freebooter Miniatures size up to figures such as The Assault Group's Italian Renaissance range? I've found images comparing them with figure ranges that I've not heard of before so that unfortunately hasn't helped much!

Thank you

Post by: Elk101 on 28 October 2017, 10:32:55 AM: Mods, would it be possible to transfer this to the fantasy board please? I don't want to double post. Thank you.

Edit: thank you for moving this.

Would that help? The minis are faily small in comparison to modern heroically scaled minis and usually well proportioned.

Shown with three Freebooter figures.

And here are some additional manufacturers for comparison.

Post by: Elk101 on 28 October 2017, 04:38:22 PM: Many thanks for the help. Wow, they are big old figures. The female assassin is one of the ones I was interested in and even taking the bases into consideration they are noticeably larger in proportion.

Thanks again

Post by: redrevuk on 30 October 2017, 08:55:14 PM: Indeed - thanks Red Graf!

I was interested in a mix with Front Rank WSS figures for a skirmish project including some Privateer Press Hordes figs and so far it still looks possible. Of course, it depends on your aesthetic sensibilities, but I think with careful basing mixed proportions in a skirmish game can be OK.

I'm sorry Dulydude, she's a bit kitbashed. Female Wizard with staff, staff replaced with the sword hand from a broken miniature. Her staff went to another wizard.
