Title: Brigade Minis, Brigade Models, Great War Minis and Scarab Minis--Comparison?
Post by: Blount on April 10, 2009, 07:33:05 PM: I have some minis from Brigade Games' WWI Western/Italian Range. Can anyone tell me how they compare in size to the figures from Great War Minis, Scarab Minis and Brigade Models?

Thanks!
Doug

From left to right:
Renegade, Brigade Games, Woodbine, Scarab, Musketeer, Great War Miniatures, Baldrick.

The Scarab miniatures seems to size up with Renegade and Great War. They do have large hands (the first thing I noticed).

I tried to post the picture but I didn't succeed.

No problem, somehow I couldn't do it.

The Brigade Games figure in that picture is the only one other than Woodbine with the legs spread far apart and will of course be slightly shorter than most when compared with marching or advancing with a shorter leg spread.

You are right, I only noticed when the picture was taken. Sorry for that.

Post by: Plynkes on July 09, 2009, 01:22:26 PM: Here you go. From both companies' trench mortar sets, and in almost identical poses, so a pretty fair comparison:

Not sure if the photo really conveys it, but in the hand the Foundry figure does seem much more weedy and small than the other. As always though, it depends on one's tolerance for such things. Some folks are real fussy, others mix and match all sizes.

Purely on a point of interest, I believe the figs may also have been sculpted by the same people. AFAIK, Foundry's Great War range was done by Dave Andrews and Aly Morrisson.

Post by: huevans on July 09, 2009, 06:50:15 PM: How would you rate the Gripping Beast figures, size wise?

Any feelings as to what are your favourite miniatures in terms of sculpting and accuracy? I'm just thinking of getting into this period.

Post by: WillieB on July 09, 2009, 11:43:03 PM: Gripping Beast (eg. Woodbine) has some really nice sculpts with tremendous variety thanks to the separate heads.
They go very well with Brigade, Musketeer and Anglian. Great War is a bit taller and I wouldn't mix Woodbine with Renegade or Coppelstone.

Post by: 22g on February 07, 2013, 07:56:21 AM: As you can see, very late to the party..
But i was wondering about the miniature marked as 'Baldrick' - which manufacturer makes (made?) this mini?
Thanks!
Cheers

Baldrick (and Blackadder) was a giveaway when Through the Mud and the Blood was first published some years ago.
I hope I have the correct ruleset; they were for sure a giveaway with a ruleset.
