Title: Renegade and Musketeer WW1 figures compatability
Post by: Orctrader on February 10, 2014, 04:34:01 PM: Are they? Compatible, that is? Side-by-side in the same unit.

Just to confirm what has already been said. :)

Musketeer are some of the nicest, but also smallest Great War figures out there.

How well do Mutton Chop mix? Are they closer to Musketeer or to Renegade?

I have heard that too. I think the British were sculpted by Paul Hicks, whereas Bill of Musketeer sculpted the Russians. Plynkes can confirm this I think.

Post by: Plynkes on February 14, 2014, 03:31:59 PM: Sounds about right to me, but I can't remember with absolute certainty, sorry.

Never got any of the Russians myself, but I too seem to remember someone saying they were bigger.

Here are a couple of comparison shots between a Musketeer WW1 British and Russian figures:

So they're pretty close in size as you can see.

I noticed! That was a nice surprise. Trying to decide if I'll be getting my pulp Nazi infantry from them or Artizan...

Post by: huevans on February 14, 2014, 06:03:06 PM: Thanks, Whisperin Al. The Russians do in fact look larger, although not vastly so.

Post by: huevans on February 14, 2014, 06:04:09 PM: Can Paul comment on how his upcoming Mutton Chop range will fit in w the existing ranges?
Title: Re: Renegade and Musketeer WW1 figures compatability
Post by: Paul Hicks on February 14, 2014, 07:41:32 PM: I can!.The new Mutton Chop BEF and Imperial Germans will match in size with the Musketeer ranges that I had sculpted. I have used the same wire armature for all the ranges that I have sculpted.
Title: Re: Renegade and Musketeer WW1 figures compatability
Post by: huevans on February 14, 2014, 08:17:43 PM: Thanks, Paul. Always appreciated.

Yeah, sadly. I like Renegade, but they are largish.
