are these compatible with Musketeer's line?

I would think if not spot on, pretty darn close

Been watching the BBC series Our World War, the Mons bridge crossing was spectacular had to resit the urge to buy figures ;D

Paul has assured me that the same armatures were used, which should guarantee compatibility. There was a comment earlier on this board (IIRC) that the MuChop figs were larger and Paul chimed that is likely just because the MuChop bases are thicker than the Musky bases.

Yeah, I find myself with the same urge!  :)

That's good to know, I have been seriously tempted to do The Eastern Front 1914.

So far, there is no indication that MuChop or Empress will do Russians or Austros. Or French for that matter. IIRC, the Musketeer WW1 Russians are by a different sculptor and are larger than Paul's figures. Anyone have them and can confirm that?

Why no Austrians? It would be great to have some really good figures to match the Russians that are out there.

Paul Hicks has sculpted some lovely Austrians that are produced by Brigade Games

But they are in the USA and it makes it too expensive to buy the figures due to the HMRC to buy the amount of figures I need. If we had some of the figures in the UK it would be nice.

Yes, we've started a little Great War dabble and one of the guys really wants Russians. A decent sized order to the US with customs on top is scary. I wonder what the stocking criteria is for Nick at Northstar as he has a few Brigade ranges?

That officer looks amazing...

As my eyes finally give out the detail on the officer is excellent.  To allow me to continue painting these would you consider doing a 40mm range!
