Title: Hobilars - Perry's Miniatures 28mm
Post by: carojon on May 18, 2020, 03:30:23 PM: As part of lockdown painting work, I have taken the time to complete a few projects for friends which has included putting together some Perry plastic medieval light cavalry.

These figures are really fun to put together and offer lots of options to differentiate one unit to another.

Post by: vodkafan on June 15, 2020, 07:44:40 PM: Great figures! I am tempted to buy some of these but am worried they might be too small compared to Front Rank.

Post by: carojon on June 15, 2020, 11:05:35 PM: Thanks for the comments chaps.
I chose the colours based on the references in and on the Perry box, together with other stuff in my own library such as Osprey etc.

I think Perry’s might look a bit small against Front Rank. Both sculpts are equally classy in their own right but quite different in comparison with each other. I have my own collection of WOTR to work on and I have used the Perry range as a whole mixing in their metals to add variety and completeness to the bulk of the collection which will be their plastics.

Cheers
