Death Korp - perry plastic russians, comparison
« on: 03 June 2013, 08:36:13 PM »
I'm wondering if anyone has or can do a comparison pic between a Perry miniatures figure (russian if possible) and death Korp figure, I'm curious because of FW being 28mm not GW random-mm if the heads off of the Perry Russians will be compatible with the Korp bodies as I wish to get the gorgon passengers at the end of the year and convert them to seperate infantry (quite a well known thing I have seen), but really want different heads, and since the Russian box has hundreds for £18 it seems possible.

I don't think I've seen a DK vs Perry pic, if I'm wrong I'd like to see where they are.

I can't offer You the precise comparison, but Perry heads are rather small and won't fit with most miniatures

I'm unlocking separate heads on my KS later in the week.

The bare heads are a touch smaller than GW but anything with a full helm or gasmask should work.

Sorry, no Russians and no Perrys...

But I got Death Korps and French Napoleonics - Warlord games and Victrix on my painting table at the moment.



They got diffrent bases so that could have something to do with the hight.



At one time I thought about using French Old guards from Victrix with heads from WestWinds Secrets of the third reich but I didnt like it so I didnt continue on that.

About the Gorgon crew, I can only recomend it. I testet it and I really liked it, and it really cut the cost down...


And If you get lots of Death Korps head over later on I could be interested...

They don't look too bad size wise, I assume warlord heads are a touch bulkier then?, but then its the price and they ain't seperate are they?

Warlord games are seperate, cut from the shoulders. so the neck is on the head.

But I think you get more bang for the bucks with Perrys. The Warlords got metal command and plastic troopers in their box.

Perry certainly are the preference because of cost and variation, either that or ask around for seperate victrix shakos
