Perry v Claymore
« on: April 19, 2016, 08:32:36 PM »
I'm putting together a couple of Lion Rampant retinues and so far have used Perry plastics and a few Perry metals. I really like the look of Claymore Castings Scots but I wondered how compatible they were with Perry minis? Perry's are nearer a  true 28mm and some other ranges can be more 'heroic' in size. If anyone's got any comparator pix or at least can vouch for compatibility that would be great.
Thanks

Nice knights, and an answer to a question that was in the back of my mind too!
"Some scientists say that humans exhibit a behavior called neophilia, which is a preference for new objects. It’s why we like shiny new things."

I ordered a few packs of Perry and Claymore for a Westeros Lion Rampant project, and wanted to see if they'd also work for some Dragon Rampant with Bretonnians.

Here's a quick comparison.



Left to right: Perry Plastic Agincourt, Claymore HYW English, Citadel Metal Bretonnian, Perry Metal Agincourt, Claymore HYW English, Citadel Plastic Bretonnian

Claymore is a bit more slender, and about 1-2mm shorter than the Perry ranges. Their work on the old Warhammer lines are close, but have slightly more "heroic" proportions, especially the heads, and again slightly larger than Claymore.
