Title: How well do wargames Atlantic horses compare with Perry HYW?

Precisely what it says above! I’m interested in how comparability either the regular or light horses are with the Perry’s stuff, and whether the WA horses would fit in the Hundred Years War. Thanks in advance!

Just from memory, the horses tack is all wrong.

I recently bought a sprue of the WA light horse so just took quick shot with my phone. This is a WA light horse, Perry medieval horse and standard WA horse.

Hope that's useful.

Depending on how fussy you are about horse furnishings, I agree with Atheling; however the light horse is much better than the generic horse which - quite frankly - doesn't fit any period.

I think they fit very well. The WA heads fit straight on to Perry horses have better looking heads, manes and tails and give options to vary the Perry stock. The WA reins are a good idea too

I think it might be an issue of the molding process but most gaming horses the reins and the strap to the front of the horse look too thick compared to looking at modern riders in the stables near me. The centre strap holding the saddle looks correct. Not sure what the rear strap on the Perries horse is meant to be doing?
