Title: 28mm Fallschirmjager size comparison help please??
Post by: Johnny Boy on November 02, 2017, 04:30:04 PM
Hi guys I've got some Foundry Fallshies for my Sealion project and was wondering how the Crusader range compare or are there any other ranges that suit? Many thanks in advance JB

No pictures, sorry, but Perry and Offensive are both smaller and less bulky than Foundry. You could probably get away with Offensive but the Perry ones would be visibly different. Shame as they are nice figures.  From memory, proportions of Crusader are much more like the Foundry ones.

This is not going to be much help. I know Crusader FJ go well with Artizan  and Black Tree Design FJ because I have all those.  Can't say about Foundry.

According to the link below Crusader and Foundry should work rather well:

I have some Foundry WW2 FFR and Home Guard and whilst the Crusader are a tad taller they'll mix well enough. I'm actually looking at the Foundry specialist packs to round out my FJs

Gorgon would be the other near perfect match as the weapons are the same.

From the picture on WWPD Gorgon, Black Tree Designs, Foundry seem to be a good match - if I hadn't seen it I would have put Gorgon and BTD larger based on their other ranges but there you go

Crusader, Artizan and Bolt Action are very similar in size and bulk.
