Was back looking at your figures.
Love the faces.
May I ask, how do they compare with Foundry and Artizan?

Well I am reliably informed by John at Ironclad Miniatures that as 28mm scale they compare favourably with Artizan but may be slightly taller than Foundry

Hope that helps

Nice work   8).

I've got some Foundry Pathans on the go and I am planning when I have finished painting them to do a size comparison with Artizan and Studio Miniatures. Maybe I should add some Ironclad mini's too(?).

There will probably be some marked size differences but at the end of the day a good splash of paint usually sorts this out.

I'll second that. Back in the day I used to have a 15mm French Nappy army with mixed Essex and minifigs and it worked well enough
