hello
i've read, somewhere in this forum, that the Redoubt minis from theit ACW range are more compatible with other manufactures than their usual big boys...in fact they have interesting multipurpose pieces that i woul like to purchase to fill some gaps in my Colonial and 19 C. Armies principlally composed ot of Foundry, OG, Perry, Mirliton ecc.. ecc...any ideas? comparison picts?
thanks very much
-
I have no photos but they are same size as OG, Perry etc. Only the Iron Brigade regiment pack are a bit bigger as far as I have seen
-
I have Redoubt ACW with Crusader and Renegade and they look fine.
-
Thanks Traveler and Helk for the prompt and clarifying answers...but please who are the Crusader and Renegades sizes? ;) o_o..big..small? similar to? :)..thanks for your patience..
-
Careful there. Redoubt figures were sculpted by 3 different sculptors, I believe. I know that the F&I War line is all over the place, size wise.
Some of the earlier Redoubt sculpts are fine with OG, Perry, etc., but the later stuff is not just bigger, but much bulkier and wider all around. Renagade and crusade are larger "Heroic 28's", actually closer to 30 mm.
-
Sorry, I should have clarified the size issue rather than compare them to other ranges you hadn't heard of. Apologies!
Yes, Renegade are very much larger ACW figures than Perry, Old Glory or Foundry. Redoubt (or are least the 100 or so I have including a big mix across the range) look fine with them. I happen to really like the Redoubt horses though I've heard others say the total opposite!
-
if you can wait to the the weekend I can take a comparison photo. A picture says it all ;)
-
thanks so much traveler..i'll wait and i'm very curious
regards

Poor photo but hopefully it can be of some help, from left to right:
Redoubt-Perry-OG-Redoubt-Foundry-Redoubt-Perry-Redoubt-Dixon
The postures are unfortunately not identical but you can see that the Redoubt are a bit bigger but within the normal variations among people
I hope it helps

The Perry stuff doesn't look as small in that photo.
-
thanks so much traveler..that pict explain quite a few things..i think i can mix Redoubt ACW with my other 19 c. minis...above all because i need not easy to find "special figures" to convert in Colonial/Foreign Legion/Risorgimento/FPW casualties, stretcher bearers, drivers ecc...on the same topic i can sugget, from personal experience, that the brand new 3 ranges from same manufacture .Boxer Rebellion, Japanese/Russian conflict and the interesting Boer War one..are made out of perfectly compatble minis..very similar in size with Foundry, Perry and OG

Perry, Redoubt, S&S and Eagle all worked together fine for me. In fact, the only way I could easily tell whose was whose after I'd stashed them in the same boxes is that the Redoubt's have separate heads.
