Title: Size comparison: Black Scorpion, Foundry, Galloping Major, Redoubt pirate/FIW
Post by: manatic on July 17, 2015, 01:33:12 PM
I just posted this size comparison of pirates/FIW minis on my blog: http://dawnofthelead.com/2015/07/17/18th-century-comparison/

To save you the trouble, here's the beef:

L to R: Black Scorpion, Galloping Major, Foundry, Redoubt

From the blog:

If you want matches, here are my suggestions:

Black Scorpion has a different style from the others. They also have a fairly large range, so you could just use them exclusively. If the height difference is the thing bothering you, Galloping Major matches up nicely. Style wise Redoubt’s weapons are thinner than Foundry’s or Galloping Major’s and match up quite well with Black Scorpion.

Redoubt can easily be mixed with both Galloping Major and Foundry.

Galloping Major matches Black Scorpion in height but not style. They’re a good match with Redoubt and Foundry style wise, but in general chunkier and taller. However, you could circumvent the height difference by removing the integral base from the Galloping Major minis.

Foundry are short, but style wise match Redoubt and Galloping Major. You could remedy this by giving them a boost under their integral base using putty or a washer.
