Foundry vs 1st Corps vs Ral Partha Scythians?
« on: 04 July 2020, 10:19:19 PM »
Sorry for the separate thread on this, but it looks like the stickied thread on scale comparisons hasn't gotten many updates.

Just curious if anyone knows how these three ranges compare to each other. I've already got done 1st Corps and Ral Partha, but am curious how well Foundry  would mix with them!

Well, as it turns out, I got bored at my in-laws' and ordered some of the Foundry Scythians, so I'll answer my own thread once they make it across the Atlantic  lol

I don't think you will regret ordering the Foundry Scythians. They are beautifully sculpted and stand up as great miniatures to this day.

Yeah, I'd been on the fence because whether it's the sculpts or the paint jobs on their site, they'd always looked a little cartoony to me. But I went ahead and grabbed them because for my "dual purpose" army I figure I'll need a good bit of missile cavalry eventually, and I haven't found many great options for Saka/Scythians in 28mm.

If you do a comparison shot, please share it in the aforementioned thread. It may be slow going, but for some (like myself) it's a welcome reference collected in one place. You might want to send Rui (the Ancients mod) a message, so he can include your photo in the main entry there.

Oh I know! I even posted in that thread before asking if we could compile some of the other size comparisons into that thread. But yeah I'll be sure to put the comparison in this thread and then ask the mod about it.

Fremitus Borealis feel free to contact me if you have any doubts but like Mad Doc Morris already pointed is best to put the comparison shots in the aforementioned thread.
Any doubts just pm me. :)
