Perry Franco Prussian and Eagles of Empire size comparison?
« on: 06 November 2022, 07:06:08 PM »
I noticed that Eagles of Empire have Francs-Tireurs, Garde Mobile, Bavarians, French Cuirassiers and other things that the Perry FPW Range is missing. Are they relatively near to each other in terms of height/bulk?

I couldn't follow that instagram link but found the following:

https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/eagles-of-empire-size-comparison--316729786274773726/

- not explicitly EoE vs Perry, but compares EoE vs Gringo40s, Helion, and Foundry. From this pic, EoE looks similar to G40 and maybe Helion; somewhat bigger than Foundry although I think you could probably still get away with them on the same table based on this shot.

Anyone who knows how Perry compares to any of that lot could close the loop! I don't have any Perry FPW, but I've used my Perry BIF alongside my Gringo40s French Foreign Legion (don't ask) happily enough.

They should probably be fine. EOE and a mix of Perry British and home bashed figs.

For some reason I wasn’t expecting to see my thread when I clicked on the link  lol

For the OP: I do have a command sprue of the Perry plastic Prussians but no EoE Prussians (I collect their Bavarians). Later this morning I’ll take a photo of a Prussian infantryman alongside a Bavarian infantryman. I did buy the sprue to compare so I probably should.  :)

Here you go:



I don’t have any EofE Prussian infantry, but I did use the Prussian Cuirassiers to create my Bavarian Cuirassiers. Those EofE Prussian cavalry heads were smaller than the Perry Prussian infantry heads but then those cavalry torsos also seemed smaller than the infantry (which, I think, is how I managed to make the Perry Nappy cavalry heads work as replacements). This last bit will make more sense if you look at my thread (link above) and how I did the conversions.

I do know that Michael Perry (who is sculpting the FPW range) has plans to cover the "other" troop types involved, eg Bavarians, Turcos, etc.  Just a question of "when".....
No plan survives first contact with the dice.
