Title: Horse archers comparison
Post by: timyeh on 07 June 2025, 09:17:42 PM

I have a bunch of Wargames Foundry and Gripping beasts horse archers and would like to know if the Vitrix Parthian would match well sizewise with them.

I'm in that situation too. Lots of Wargames Foundry Roman horse archers with a few Gripping Beast ones I found to make up the required numbers. The Gripping Beast are giants.

I'd like to know if the Victrix mounted are similar to either of these.

Timyeh, I don't have Victrix myself but it would be good to know which army/range from both Foundry and Gripping Beast you are referring to.  I only make the point as several of the Foundry ranges are quite small as they were produced in the early/mid '90s when figures were more "25mm" than the current "28mm".

Regards

Victrix are much larger than both foundry and gripping beast

That’s too bad as I just ordered a pack from victrix. I guess I’ll just seperate the vitrix from the wargames foundry models.

It depends. Which horse archers?
Foundry do scythians, at the bigger end of 28mm, but victrix horses are usually quite big. But the victrix horse archers have slightly smaller horses than most of their range, so the scythians from foundry would match quite well
