North-West Frontier Perry, Foundry and Artizan

[The Gray Ghost]

I've started up my first campaign in a couple of years based in the NW Frontier. I'm using my Foundry Darkest Africa Sikhs and Baluchis, and I need some Indian, Gurkhas cavalry and so on. Will Perry match with them? what about Artizan. I have plenty of figures from both makers but none from either in their NWF ranges.
Thanks

Hello and welcome to the NWF!

I am reluctant to comment on 'matching' figures, as each person has their own tolerances for what makes a good match.  I will recommend looking at the Mad Guru's excellent Maiwand Day blog https://maiwandday.com/ as he has great photos that include the various figures you ask about.

My own collection includes Perry Miniatures, Old Glory, Castaway Arts and Artizan.  Wargames Atlantic is a great budget-conscious way to expand your collection, especially for Afghan tribesmen. I have a blog post here that shows the various figures in my collection: https://willstoysoldiers.blogspot.com/2018/07/1880-armies-on-parade.html

Will Bailie,

Thanks for your kind words re: my blog, I really appreciate it!

Gray Ghost,

Following up on Will Bailie's link-sharing, here are 2 more specific links to posts I've done featuring figure comparison pics...

This first link is to a post from 2012 covering mostly (but not only) Perry and Empress figures, including both cavalry and infantry:

This second link is from 2019 and covers only infantry figures, but a wider array of manufacturers, including Studio, Perry, Artizan, Empress, Wargames Foundry, Pontoonier and Old Glory:
