Hi,

since Black Scorpion switched to resin instead of metal I am looking elsewhere to find matching Marines.. While I was looking for some 20mm ww2 I stumbled upon the new Britannia miniature site and saw that they have Royal Marines as well : http://www.britannia-miniatures.com/catalog/index.php/cPath/182

Since I never looked at the 28mm while Dave was running it I have no idea about size/quality etc compared to newer sculpts..  So tada... does anyone have proper pictures of the Britannia Marines? And perhaps even a comparison with the Black Scorpion stuff.

Thanks!

The Marines match other 28mm Napoleonic lines for height and heft, Front Rank and Perry work well with them. They may be too small for Black Scorpion.

The Spanish below are Front Rank, the figures on the right are all Britannia.

Thank you :)

It seems like they would fit, even though they might be a bit smaller.. (after all they will be on their own ship most of the time ;))

Front Rank is a nice place as well - might have to get some lead from there as well.. BUGGER!!

They're not Front rank, they're from the old and discontinued Castle Falkenstein range.
